00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,480
Kansas City Missouri from the crystal blue waters of the Missouri River it's

2
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:11,000
two douchebags and a microphone podcast.

3
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:19,000
And now it's time for the Daily Douchebag Pledge.

Two douchebags and a microphone pledge. I, Joe or Jane listener hereby promise to download every show.

5

I, Joe or Jane listener hereby promise to grab family members phones and download the show from there.

6
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:41,000
I, Joe or Jane listener hereby promise to go to public computers and download the show from there.

7
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:47,000
I, Joe or Jane listener hereby promise to laugh at all the unfunny jokes.

8
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:54,000
I, Joe or Jane listener hereby promise to lie to all my friends and tell them how good the show is.

9
00:00:54,000 --> 00:01:01,000
And finally I, Joe or Jane listener promise to visit Montrose Missouri to take advantage of the power plant,

10
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:06,000
campgrounds and junkyard all within its quarter mile radius.

11
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:14,000
Have you ever wondered where something came from? Have you ever looked at something and said,

12
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:22,000
I wonder what the origin of that is? Well so have we. That's why we give you the origin of...

13
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:29,000
This is the story of Dr. Pepper. Originally made in Morrison's Old Corner Drugstore in Wacoom, Texas,

14
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:35,000
the drink's unique flavor was a hit when it was first sold in 1885. Wade Morrison, the drugstore owner,

15
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:42,000
named it Dr. Pepper after Dr. Charles Pepper, a Virginia doctor who the father of a girl, Morrison,

16
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:50,000
he was once in love with. You can still go to the Dr. Pepper Museum and still purchase the original formula

17
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:57,000
with pure artesian well water and pure cane sugar. It's quite a treat if you're into Dr. Pepper.

18
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,000
Two monkey fuckers and a toaster will be right back.

19
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:11,000
All aware of the Amber Alert, right? Well get rid of your disinfectants and rubber bedspreads kids.

Our constant pursuit for a real knee slapper. It's strange insults from an alien. Real hilarity.

25
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:53,000
If you were a spice, you would be flour.

26
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:59,000
Swimming in toxic masculinity and wiping their ass with politically correct wash rags.

27
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:06,000
Two douchebags and a microphone invade your ear holes in three, two, one.

28
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:11,000
Please remember to go to Cole's dressing room, wait five minutes and scream,

29
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,000
Hey, there's no toilet paper in here.

30
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:18,000
Since we haven't a budget here at Two Douchebags and a Microphone,

31
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,000
here's a random guy on the street to promote our show.

32
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:27,000
Hi everybody, I'm Thready. I love listening to two douchebags and a microphone

33
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:34,000
and I get all my pertinent information from them. They are incredible and I love them so.

34
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:59,000
Hello everybody, this is Two Douchebags and Microphone. I'm Mark. And I'm Rob.

35
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:05,000
So let's see, a lot of things happened today in the NFL and yesterday.

36
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:12,000
A lot of acquisitions and teams going from one to another.

37
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:16,000
And another thing that was really interesting is this right here.

38
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:20,000
A lot of teams opted out of their running back to get a different one.

39
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:24,000
Running backs in particular were like the hot commodity today.

40
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:31,000
Those were the ones that were really being traded, or not traded, but they were the ones that were being signed.

41
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:37,000
And I directly attribute this to the Patrick Price.

42
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:42,000
Teams are trying to find a way to beat my homes.

43
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:46,000
And one of the ways that they can maybe, well you're not going to stop them,

44
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:50,000
but you can contain them is a strong running game and a strong defense.

45
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:55,000
So you take up time off the clock, you score seven points,

46
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:59,000
and then you hope your defense can contain my homes enough.

47
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:04,000
And then you get back on the field, you take up another 12 minutes on another drive,

48
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:10,000
and you just hope at the end you got like 10 points to where you can't come back and get you on seven or whatever.

49
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:16,000
You see. And I think a lot of that is because they are trying to develop ways to beat my homes,

50
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:22,000
and that is the big thing right now. And that's why you're getting these running backs and these different schemes going on.

51
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:29,000
That's part of it. And then there was a lot of running backs just actually, their contracts were up for whatever reason.

52
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:34,000
And when I tell you this, it's going to be pretty interesting.

53
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:39,000
Because I don't think any of your teams retained their running back that was up.

54
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:44,000
They opted to get another running back that was up from another team. Isn't that interesting, Rob?

55
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:50,000
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know why you wouldn't go with a guy that you have

56
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:54,000
and go into someone with similar stats in a different place.

57
00:05:54,000 --> 00:06:00,000
I mean, it could have been money. Maybe the guy you were hiring was considerably lower than the guy you're trying to retain.

58
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:08,000
That could have been part of it. But I found it interesting why you'd let a Pollard go and then hire someone else.

59
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:14,000
I'll go into this now. I believe they got Jones, Aaron Jones, or something like that.

60
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:20,000
So, okay, first we're going to get to Kirk Cousins here in a little bit.

61
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:24,000
I got an article and I got some thoughts about it that I'm going to speak about.

62
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:31,000
Kirk Cousins was signed by the Atlanta Falcons. The Vikings opted to let him go.

63
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:42,000
They thought he was, you know, cost too much, I guess. And Atlanta seems to think that that was a good purchase, obviously.

64
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:52,000
Another one that happened is Snead is a free agent, not a free agent, a franchise plug.

65
00:06:52,000 --> 00:07:02,000
He's got the franchise tag, but it is open to where he can be traded if they come up with a good enough offer.

66
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:10,000
So it's not the exclusive franchise tag. It's the franchise tag that allows you to shop him to other players.

67
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:15,000
So if someone comes up with too much money and you can't pay it because of the cap,

68
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:21,000
you can get a couple of draft picks for him and hopefully draft the next Legerius Snead.

69
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:28,000
So, anyhow, so those two went on and that's all we really got to say about that.

70
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:32,000
That all speaks for itself, the Kirk Cousins thing I'm going to go into here in a little bit.

71
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:43,000
But this is interesting. Derek Henry, Hall of Fame running back from the Tennessee Titans, went to the Baltimore Ravens.

72
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,000
Did you see that one coming, Rob?

73
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:52,000
No, I did not see that one coming, but I read that today. I was like, oh my God.

74
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:57,000
I know. I mean, I think he's going to fit right in.

75
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:01,000
It's kind of scary the way he's going to fit right in, Rob.

76
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:02,000
Yeah.

77
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:07,000
Yeah. You already got a couple of good running backs and you got a running quarterback up there.

78
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:14,000
I mean, is it going to be ground and pound with their brutal defense? Is this the way they're going to get to the homes?

79
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:18,000
And Derek Henry, he's known for ground and pound.

80
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:23,000
The only question I have is how much is left in his tank.

81
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:28,000
He's been dropping off and getting injured considerably more the last couple of years and that's because of age.

82
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,000
He's taken a beating. I know he's a big guy.

83
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:39,000
Well, that's kind of what the article that I read was going into with his age and everything.

84
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,000
For what reason?

85
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:51,000
I think it's going to be interesting and I think Kansas City better get ready because they're going to have some competition that's coming here.

86
00:08:51,000 --> 00:09:03,000
Well, like I said last season, if I was to bet money on anybody, not being a Kansas City fan at all.

87
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:07,000
I live in, I don't know, Idaho.

88
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:14,000
And someone said, all right, Mark, pick who's going to win the Super Bowl and if you don't get it right, I'm going to like kill you.

89
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,000
I would have to go with my homes.

90
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,000
Do you think your answer would be that too?

91
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,000
Oh, definitely.

92
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:26,000
Absolutely. Not only pedigree, but guts, balls, smarts, everything.

93
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:30,000
The guy has it all and he can beat you with all of it and he does.

94
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,000
I mean, he has other key components too. Yes.

95
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:39,000
The defense really, really wanted for us. Yes. But my homes found a way to get it done.

96
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:44,000
Yes. Yeah. So, okay.

97
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:52,000
So I would have picked my homes anyhow. So I mean, to me, it isn't a far stretch of them winning to a lot of people.

98
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:56,000
And I'll admit, I did not think they're going to win it. Christmas Day after the Raiders game.

99
00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:00,000
I was like, well, hopefully next year we can get something going. Maybe we can get some receivers.

100
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:04,000
But I was completely wrong, thankfully.

101
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:11,000
And they really, they got to the playoffs and just put it in another gear.

102
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:18,000
So anyhow, so we have the Ravens picking up Derek Henry.

103
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:25,000
The Cincinnati Bengals let their warhorse, Joe Mixon, go to the Texans.

104
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,000
I didn't see that coming either. I knew they were.

105
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:34,000
I did not either. Well, the Texans swooped in there and got him because they were going to release him.

106
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,000
And I guess the Texans were worried that someone else was going to pick him up.

107
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:42,000
So they worked out a deal ahead of time before he went to free agency.

108
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:49,000
And they gave him some draft picks or took a lot of cash off of, you know, off of what they owed him or something like that.

109
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,000
But they worked out a deal to get Joe Mixon.

110
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,000
And I knew Joe Mixon was going to be let go because of salary cap reasons.

111
00:10:55,000 --> 00:11:02,000
But I didn't figure the Texans would swoop in there and do that before he was on the free agency market.

112
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,000
So that was interesting.

113
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:12,000
The really interesting one I find here, Aaron Jones to the Vikings from Green Bay.

114
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:17,000
Oh, wow. I did not hear that one. Yeah.

115
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:21,000
Aaron Jones, really? Yeah. Yep.

116
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:30,000
But when I see who they got to replace Aaron Jones, Josh Jacobs from the Raiders.

117
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,000
Oh, sure. Yeah.

118
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:39,000
So the Packers let Aaron Jones go knowing they were going to pick up Josh Jacobs or try to pick up Josh Jacobs.

119
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:44,000
So I see that one. They got a definite upgrade, in my opinion.

120
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:54,000
Josh Jacobs is a workhorse, and I think he's going to do well in that system. He's going to really help Jordan Love out considerably.

121
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,000
And not like Jordan Love did a horrible job or nothing.

122
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:03,000
It's just next year, if their defense is like it is, if they didn't lose too much on defense or possibly be gained on defense,

123
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:07,000
I can see them getting a little ways in the playoffs very easily.

124
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:20,000
So and then Pollard from Dallas went to the Vikings.

125
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,000
Yeah, I heard that one, too. Yeah.

126
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:27,000
That one was kind of like, eh, okay.

127
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:33,000
The Vikings are kind of like one of those teams that whenever they do a pickup, it's always kind of loopworm.

128
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:37,000
The Kirk Cousins one is like, okay, so you might get in the playoffs.

129
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:42,000
Then what? That's what I felt about it. Is that how you felt about it?

130
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:49,000
When they when they bought Kirk Cousins, I was like, okay, you're going to get to the playoffs and that's it.

131
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:52,000
You're going to get to the playoffs and that's it.

132
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,000
I love Kirk Cousins as a person, but he is not.

133
00:12:55,000 --> 00:13:03,000
Kirk Cousins is not a guy that will take the team on his back and take him to the promised land.

134
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:09,000
He is a guy that makes you respectable and maybe even a top 12, 10 team.

135
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:16,000
But he's not a guy that's going to win you a bunch of Super Bowls or even probably get you to the championship game.

136
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:20,000
So Atlanta, I mean, Atlanta really paid a lot for him.

137
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:24,000
But I was talking to Christopher today and he brought up this point.

138
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:32,000
He thinks the reason they hired Atlanta and I think I have to agree with him thinking about it for sales season ticket sales.

139
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:40,000
They were like horrible. They got, you know, their oh, I forgot their Ryan.

140
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,000
Oh, shit, I forgot his any. Yeah.

141
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,000
Yeah. Anyhow, Ryan was his last name.

142
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:52,000
And let him go a couple of years ago and any other quarterback.

143
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:57,000
And since then, they haven't been the same. They're really floundered and mediocrity.

144
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:08,000
So Toversiggin is to appease the season ticket holders and all that stuff and put some sort of a little bit of buzz back to the Atlanta Falcons.

145
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:15,000
So, OK, maybe because of that, they overpaid for Kirk Cousins and maybe they make it to the playoffs and get a little bit of buzz.

146
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,000
So we'll see.

147
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:25,000
Then Justin Fields to the Raiders.

148
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:32,000
I heard that. That was just on the wire two hours ago.

149
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:41,000
That is going to be interesting because I really like their coaching now.

150
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:53,000
We. Yeah, she'll see how that works out because I've always felt that Justin Fields has a world of talent, but he's never been.

151
00:14:53,000 --> 00:15:00,000
Um, coached right. Never been molded into what he could be.

152
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,000
Do you think? Right. Do you think I'm close on that, Rob?

153
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:07,000
No, no, no, that's that's about as close you get.

154
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:13,000
He's never had an offensive line. He's one receiver, not much of a running back.

155
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,000
He didn't have anything to work with. Plus, the coaching there.

156
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:24,000
So I've seen flashes of talent of when you do stabilize and you're on a good team that he could take that talent a long ways.

157
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:33,000
So this is going to be interesting. I mean, I know they lost Josh Jacobs, but we'll see what happens with the Raiders.

158
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:38,000
It's not like I'm a Raiders fan or nothing. Of course, being a chiefs fan, I don't care for him.

159
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:44,000
It's just this is an intriguing signing or an intriguing get for the Raiders.

160
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:49,000
We'll see how far they can take this thing.

161
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:56,000
So I've got this article about Kirk Cousins here, and then I'm going to add some of my words to it.

162
00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:04,000
Kirk Cousins has been ridiculed for his inability to win enough big games or take his team to deep playoff runs.

163
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:08,000
However, he still has a lot of value in the NFL as a productive veteran quarterback.

164
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,000
It just won't be the Minnesota Vikings anymore.

165
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:14,000
Atlanta Falcons are going to find out what Cousins has left.

166
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:18,000
Cousins agreed to deal with the Falcons, according to multiple media reports.

167
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:29,000
Adam Schefter is one of them. The move has been rumored a few days ago, and now the Falcons get a big quarterback upgrade with new head coach Raheem Morris.

168
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:36,000
So I could read more of this, but I'm not going to. I'm going to go into some of my words.

169
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:43,000
But after I wrote this, I started coming up with a different thought process.

170
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,000
Now follow me with it.

171
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:59,000
Okay, the gem of the NFL now is a selfless Alex Smith tutoring for a year a Patrick Mahomes, a young Patrick Mahomes rookie.

172
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:06,000
He's watching him all the defenses, everything that is up in that brilliant head of Alex Smith.

173
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:13,000
And it worked out famously, famously. Could not have worked out any better.

174
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:24,000
Maybe Kirk Cousins isn't there for Kirk Cousins. Maybe Kirk Cousins is there for player X to be drafted this year, next year, maybe the year after that.

175
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,000
Very well could be.

176
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:28,000
Yes.

177
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,000
Oh, I did not think. Yeah.

178
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:35,000
He's the same player basically.

179
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:44,000
A good smart guy with a decent arm, but doesn't have a good enough pinpoint laser arm to take you deep into the playoffs.

180
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:49,000
He's a guy. He's like me. He's like me at playing pool.

181
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,000
Okay, go ahead. I want to hear.

182
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:57,000
I can tell the shots. I can tell somebody how to do the shots.

183
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:01,000
But me doing it personally won't make it.

184
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,000
But I can call it and somebody else can do it.

185
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,000
I love that Rob. That's true. That's so true.

186
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:08,000
Seriously.

187
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:09,000
Yeah.

188
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:15,000
If it's me personally doing it, I can see it being done. Oh, it's perfection.

189
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:19,000
But me doing it, I'm going to screw it up over time.

190
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,000
Yeah.

191
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:25,000
I would make a better coach than I would a player.

192
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:31,000
Rob, you couldn't, I could have not, I, no one could have said that any better than what you did.

193
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,000
I know exactly what you're talking about.

194
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,000
I know exactly what you're talking about.

195
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,000
I think you're saying real life, then with me and.

196
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,000
No, no, no. I'm the same way at pool.

197
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:45,000
I can tell you exactly how to bank that bitch and get it where.

198
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,000
But me doing it, forget it.

199
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:48,000
Yeah.

200
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:55,000
Yeah. I could go, anybody, the best player around, I think, and go, yeah, you need to hit that right there.

201
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,000
And they're going to go, yep, you're right.

202
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,000
And, but you want to do it, Mark?

203
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,000
No, no, you should do it.

204
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,000
I get you. I get you.

205
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,000
That's, that's a great way to put it.

206
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:11,000
So I think I could read a lot of what I wrote, but I don't think I'm going to now.

207
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,000
And because I was really bagging on it really heavy,

208
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:19,000
call me Atlanta Falcons pretty much stupid for signing that much.

209
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:30,000
You know, and I kind of equated it to the rudderless chiefs after Marty Schottenheimer and Dick Vermeel era.

210
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:31,000
Yeah.

211
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:37,000
And they had, you know, Marty Schottenheimer had the great defenses with some worn out quarterbacks

212
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:41,000
and some of them that were supposed to be good, but weren't and all that.

213
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:42,000
Had some great teams.

214
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:46,000
Dick Vermeel had Trent Green, no defense.

215
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:52,000
So, you know, a Peyton Manning or Tom Brady would come up, a Peyton Manning, not Manning,

216
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:56,000
a Peyton Manning or Tom Brady would come up and kick the shit out of us.

217
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,000
First round of the playoffs every year.

218
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:01,000
So there is no chance of getting past there.

219
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:06,000
So I was thinking, you know, our team was rudderless.

220
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,000
So what did Hanks do?

221
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:12,000
Went out and got Andy Reed as soon as he was let go in Philadelphia.

222
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:18,000
Gave the keys to him and also John Dorsey who had a lot with getting Mahomes too.

223
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,000
And said, where do you go?

224
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:25,000
So, anyhow, that's enough of that.

225
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:29,000
And they really could be doing that with Kirk Tate.

226
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,000
It's going to be seen.

227
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:35,000
They've got a decent draft pick, but they can always.

228
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,000
I mean, he is getting up there in age.

229
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,000
He's 35.

230
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:40,000
Yeah.

231
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,000
Yeah, yeah, he is.

232
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,000
What's your name going to coach?

233
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,000
Yeah, coach player type of deal.

234
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:52,000
Yeah, I always wanted to see Alex Smith be a coach in the NFL,

235
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,000
a quarterbacks coach specifically.

236
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,000
Oh, yes, yeah.

237
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,000
I think he would be great at it.

238
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,000
But he's got that cushy job on ESPN.

239
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,000
So I don't think he's leaving it anytime soon, do you?

240
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,000
No.

241
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:07,000
No.

242
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:08,000
He's good.

243
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,000
Besides that, he almost died.

244
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,000
I mean...

245
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:13,000
Oh, good boy.

246
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,000
Yeah, yeah, he's probably like, NFL?

247
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,000
Nah, probably not.

248
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:24,000
So, anyhow, you had some NFL stuff you wanted to get to, so feel free, Rob.

249
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:31,000
Yeah, I had another player that changed teams.

250
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,000
Oh, okay.

251
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:38,000
Russell Wilson officially has a new team.

252
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,000
Uh-huh.

253
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:49,000
Wilson announced via social media Sunday night that he is joining the Pittsburgh Steelers.

254
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:59,000
The video played the song Renegade by Sticks, which is the same song, played at the Steelers home games.

255
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:03,000
The video featured Steelers fans waving terrible vows.

256
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,000
Uh-huh.

257
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:09,000
Wilson will be signing a one-year deal with Pittsburgh.

258
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:21,000
The Denver Broncos will be paying Wilson $38 million this season after cutting him despite the money he was owed.

259
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,000
You know where it went.

260
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:31,000
That means the Steelers will be getting Wilson for $1.2 million.

261
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,000
Doesn't that warm your heart?

262
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:37,000
Okay.

263
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:41,000
I think that Russell Wilson's going to have a great year for a couple of reasons.

264
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,000
And you tell me whether you agree or not, Rob.

265
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,000
I want to hear your input on this.

266
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,000
He's on a one-year deal.

267
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:52,000
This is a prove it or get out, right?

268
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:58,000
One-year deals make you much better because the uncertainty after that, you better bring it.

269
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:03,000
He didn't have this huge deal he signed with Denver to where he didn't necessarily have to bring it.

270
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,000
He's getting his money guaranteed anyhow.

271
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:06,000
He didn't care.

272
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,000
Well, he's getting money from Denver.

273
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:16,000
But if he wants to play in the NFL and not be a backup next year or the year after, he better come to town and he better bring it.

274
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:17,000
Okay.

275
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:28,000
Number two, Pittsburgh has a history of drafting young, really fast, good wide receivers.

276
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:36,000
I think as in tandem with each other, are going to make Russell Wilson is going to beef up his stats a little bit and make him a better quarterback.

277
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,000
Will they go far in the playoffs?

278
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:42,000
It depends on who they play first and second.

279
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:46,000
You know, if they go straight to Baltimore, forget it.

280
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:56,000
And maybe even the Texans with CJ Stroud down there and some of the new guys in the draft, you know, they drafted really well the last couple of years.

281
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,000
They have a good strong draft.

282
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,000
Even the Texans could maybe take him out really easily.

283
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:07,000
So, you know, I could see this doing really good for the Steelers and Russell Wilson.

284
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:15,000
But I also think if they played the wrong teams in the NFL, it's going to be a really quick one and out.

285
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,000
Right, right, right.

286
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:22,000
So now if they get ahold of the Jacksonville or something, then they could maybe go for a game.

287
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:26,000
If they get lucky on another one, they could maybe back their way into the divisional.

288
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,000
I don't think the championship game is there for them.

289
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:35,000
But anyhow, they could be respectable with maybe a playoff win here or there because of all those factors.

290
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:39,000
Anyhow, were you going to go on to more, Rob?

291
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:50,000
Well, you just mentioned that Pittsburgh got these quick pass receivers.

292
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:54,000
They have a history developing them.

293
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,000
Wilson is known for being a quick passer.

294
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:58,000
Yes.

295
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:02,000
Going in quick passes, get it down, just go, let's go.

296
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:06,000
Don't you think that that's the way Mike Tomlin is going to have this game played?

297
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:10,000
I think that could be good.

298
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:11,000
I think it will too.

299
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:15,000
I think that could work. I really do.

300
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,000
Yes, yeah, I agree with you, Rob.

301
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:22,000
Okay, well, I mean, we're both in agreement on that.

302
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,000
Did you have anything else from the NFL you wanted to get to?

303
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,000
Because I have another NFL story.

304
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,000
That's all the NFL I have tonight.

305
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:33,000
Okay, I've got another one, but I'm not going to get to it right now.

306
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,000
We're going to go to some lighthearted stuff.

307
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:41,000
This is Dallas Cowboys quarterback, Dak Prescott, was accused of sexual assault.

308
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,000
And he's suing the chick.

309
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:52,000
He's suing her for false allegations and also blackmail or something like that.

310
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:57,000
So, we'll go into that a little bit later because I want to get to some lighthearted stuff.

311
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:00,000
Like Paul Stanley being called the creep and stuff like that.

312
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,000
Oh, shit.

313
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,000
Yeah, you've got to hear the article.

314
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:09,000
So, anyhow, let's take our first break and we're going to come back.

315
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:13,000
Rob has a story he wants to tell you all.

316
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:17,000
Well, not a story, but he's got an article that is pretty interesting.

317
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,000
So, we will be right back.

318
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:24,000
Yeah, I couldn't believe it when I first started reading it.

319
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:31,000
And now, Deep Thoughts with Mark.

320
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:44,000
So, if I have a glass of ice water and the ice melts into the water, is my water then watered down?

321
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:51,000
Hm, I may never know.

322
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,000
Now, it's time for Pick Up Lines from a Loser.

323
00:26:54,000 --> 00:27:03,000
If I had a nickel for every time I saw someone as beautiful as you, I would have a whole five cents.

324
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,000
Our constant pursuit for a real knee-slapper.

325
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,000
It's strange insults from an alien.

326
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,000
Real hilarity.

327
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:20,000
May every empty parking space you see in the distance actually contain a motorcycle.

328
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,000
Our constant pursuit for a real knee-slapper.

329
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,000
It's strange insults from an alien.

330
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,000
Real hilarity.

331
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:37,000
Are you always such an idiot, or do you just show off when I'm around?

332
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:41,000
As pleasant as fifty-grit sandpaper to your inner thighs.

333
00:27:41,000 --> 00:28:04,000
Hello, this is Satan. You might know me from my pet name, Inflation. I'm here to tell you

334
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:12,000
that there's no better way to relax than listening to douchebags and microphones by a nice warm

335
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:20,000
fire at night. I sit there and reflect on all the souls I burned that day. Enjoy.

336
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,000
Next up, Things Overheard in Hell.

337
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:34,000
Joe Buck and Troy Aitman are being all televised in Radio Games of the NFL this year.

338
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:38,000
Have you ever wondered where something came about? Have you ever looked at something and said,

339
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:46,000
Hmm, I wonder what the origin of that is? Well, so have we. That's why we give you The Origin Of.

340
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:52,000
Where did podcasts originate? The term was first coined by Ben Hammersley, a writer for The Guardian

341
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:59,000
in 2004 by combining the words iPod and broadcasting. In 2005, Steve Jobs, founder of Apple,

342
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:06,000
introduced the idea of subscribing to a podcast by building the concept into the iTunes interface.

343
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:13,000
Who made the first podcast ever? 2004, Adam Curry and Dave Weiner are accredited with the invention

344
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:19,000
of podcasting. Who exactly did what is up for dispute? But in the end, these are the two guys

345
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:25,000
who got it rolling. The term podcasting was mentioned by Ben Hammersley in The Guardian newspaper article.

346
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:43,000
Two douchebags and microphone. This is Mark.

347
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,000
And I'm Rob.

348
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:49,000
Rob, we turn to you.

349
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:58,000
Yeah, like I said, I read this article and I said, hey, this has got to go on our show.

350
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:03,000
Cool.

351
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:11,000
While there are definitely beauty standards in our society, we're not all attracted to the same things

352
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:22,000
when it comes to a romantic partner. But according to a new research, there's a more universal ideal

353
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:35,000
when it comes to the perfect partner for an affair. And one company set out to find out what that ideal person is.

354
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:41,000
And yes, I said, and it's there.

355
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,000
OK.

356
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:51,000
The study comes from Alicent Encounters, the UK's largest dating site for married people.

357
00:30:51,000 --> 00:31:03,000
So they're pretty much the experts in this area. They analyzed the views and clicks of their more than 1.5 million

358
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:10,000
members over the last year to see which profiles get the most attention.

359
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:23,000
What did they learn? Wives who want to cheat on their husbands would ideally pick a man who's 52,

360
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:37,000
has green eyes and brown hair, drives an Audi and makes more than $64,000 a year.

361
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:47,000
He also has size 10 feet, athletic build, and is a Libra.

362
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:52,000
Wow. They narrowed that down.

363
00:31:52,000 --> 00:32:01,000
If your husband's looking down on this girl, their ideal woman would be 44 years old,

364
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:12,000
five foot six with blue eyes, blonde, curly hair, and earn more than $38,000.

365
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:25,000
And also being a chorus with size five feet and a toned physique.

366
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,000
That's crazy, man.

367
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,000
The way they narrowed that down, precisely.

368
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:40,000
They took their 1.5 million views and they just averaged out everybody. And this is what they came up with.

369
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:45,000
Really interesting stuff there. Really interesting.

370
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:50,000
I was just amazed at how they narrowed it down so well.

371
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:53,000
Yeah. Yeah.

372
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:56,000
Even down to the both sides.

373
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:59,000
Yeah. Yeah. That was one of the things that got me.

374
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,000
Libra and Aquarius.

375
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:08,000
Wow. Very interesting stuff there, Rob.

376
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,000
We are called two douchebags.

377
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:11,000
Yes, we are.

378
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,000
I had to come up with that.

379
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:19,000
Oh, that was great, Rob. Now I've got Paul Stanley being a creep.

380
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,000
Only on Two Douchebags.

381
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,000
Yeah. I can understand that.

382
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:28,000
Yeah. Only on Two Douchebags and Michael Goody do you get the real story behind this story.

383
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:33,000
Somebody called Paul Stanley a creep. And we're going to get to the bottom of it right now.

384
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:36,000
Who called him a creep and why?

385
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,000
Bobby Brown.

386
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:42,000
The ex-wife of late Warren singer, frontman Janie Lane.

387
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:48,000
And the video vixen in Warren's Cherry Pie. So now we all know who she is, right?

388
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,000
Oh yeah. Oh yeah.

389
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:53,000
Blonde. Yeah. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep.

390
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,000
All over my bedroom wall.

391
00:33:55,000 --> 00:34:02,000
Yep. Oh yeah. I think she got a lot of target practice, right?

392
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:05,000
A lot of people. That's what I mean.

393
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:10,000
Okay. Anyhow, recently fans submitted questions via the Fuse TV website.

394
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:14,000
Asked who was the creepiest rock star that ever hit on her.

395
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:18,000
Bobby said Paul Stanley from Kiss.

396
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:22,000
He was just infeminent. Extremely infeminent.

397
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:25,000
I don't know. He was pretty creepy, I have to say.

398
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:30,000
I mean, no offense to Kiss and all that stuff, but it was bizarre.

399
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:34,000
And I think maybe, I don't know. Who knows? I don't know if he's gay or not.

400
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:38,000
But I really had the feeling that he might be. I don't know.

401
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:44,000
Oh. Oh ho ho ho.

402
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:47,000
That's not a good thing to be, I mean, the gay thing doesn't matter.

403
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:51,000
The infeminent and creepy thing? Yeah.

404
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:58,000
Boy. And I don't know. That kind of caught me off guard.

405
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:04,000
I mean, yeah, he does have some kind of feminine mannerisms, yes.

406
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:09,000
But wow. Okay. Well, I don't think he's gay.

407
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:15,000
I mean, I think it's possible. But found that very interesting.

408
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:20,000
So, anyhow, I can go to this next interview with Ace Freely from Hard Rock Magazine.

409
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:23,000
You want to hear this? Sure.

410
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:30,000
Okay. Ace Freely said concerning Kiss, I don't think they're going to retire.

411
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:33,000
They've been retiring for the last 20 years.

412
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:38,000
Ace isn't convinced that last year was Kiss's final show.

413
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:43,000
Ace went on to say, you will never see an avatar of me in a million years.

414
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:47,000
That's a pretty good jab.

415
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:54,000
Because the avatar is the new Kiss. It's all going into cyberspace.

416
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:57,000
Let's call it for what it is.

417
00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:03,000
My opinion, a complete money grab and a waste of time.

418
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:12,000
You think in 20 years, one person is going to give a flying fuck that Kiss is in cyberspace?

419
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:18,000
Jane and Paul are long gone and Kiss is going to live on in cyberspace? No.

420
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:24,000
No one's going to give a shit. No one's going to care about Kiss in 20 years.

421
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:29,000
No one's going to be left, just like hardly anyone gives a shit about the mama and the papas anymore.

422
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:33,000
Right? Because a lot of those people are gone.

423
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:38,000
Strawberry alarm clock. You don't hear people going around stressing that they're not around. Why?

424
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:44,000
Because a lot of people are not around anymore. Or if they are around, they're worried about living the next day.

425
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:48,000
They're not worried about strawberry alarm clock.

426
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:51,000
So, anyhow, I go on.

427
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:55,000
10,000 volts, his latest effort, could be one of his finest.

428
00:36:55,000 --> 00:37:01,000
Ace's interest in space comes from his father, who was an electrical engineer.

429
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,000
He designed some transformers. Oh, I did not know that.

430
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:09,000
Me neither. That's why I decided to pick this article to talk about.

431
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:15,000
It's not the space, it's the electric.

432
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:19,000
Yeah, okay.

433
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:26,000
So, I chose to verbally display this because I think it's an insight into how Ace thinks, and I love this.

434
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:30,000
He designed some transformers that are in the rover.

435
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:34,000
That's how it connects to space. That's on the moon.

436
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:39,000
He bought my first guitar, a cheap $25 Japanese guitar.

437
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:45,000
One I hit the E chord with the volume up, and it was love at first sight or hearing.

438
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:50,000
Steve Brown from the band Trickster helped Ace with the album.

439
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:53,000
Ace has put out five albums in the past 10 years.

440
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:58,000
All other rockers your age are slowing down. Why are you going full throttle, Ace?

441
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:01,000
I love to write songs, I love to record.

442
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:07,000
My fiance has me on a strict diet of organic foods and working out.

443
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:10,000
I lost 45 pounds and feel great.

444
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:13,000
I think most know I don't have a master plan.

445
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:17,000
I'm just going to keep going until I cannot anymore.

446
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:24,000
Why stop? I'm having the best time ever creating and recording, and he is not being messed up.

447
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:27,000
He's not impaired by drugs or alcohol.

448
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:32,000
He's clear taken, and his new drug is what his first love was, music.

449
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:34,000
Right.

450
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:40,000
I think it is completely fantastic that he found himself after all these years.

451
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:45,000
He cleaned up, and he's doing good. He's been clean up a long time.

452
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:49,000
But it looks like he re-energizes his passion for music.

453
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:56,000
And now I think the fact that Paul and Gene were dogging on so much gave him some new effort.

454
00:38:56,000 --> 00:39:02,000
Some new umph behind him to do better.

455
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:05,000
He's going to go, you know what, you guys are retiring and you're dogging on me.

456
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:08,000
I've been sober for 20 years. Watch this.

457
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:14,000
I'm going to do an album that you couldn't do without me or Peter.

458
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,000
Beer. Hold my root beer.

459
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:22,000
Yeah. Kind of like Kansas City holding a beer.

460
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:23,000
I love that poem.

461
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:26,000
My root beer is sober. Hold my root beer.

462
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:30,000
So that promo is excellent, isn't it?

463
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,000
About Chicago and Kansas City.

464
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:36,000
I'm really proud of that one. I'm really proud of that one.

465
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:40,000
Because there's so much truth in it, and also it's funny.

466
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,000
So, um, Eddie here.

467
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:45,000
He was not dogging in Chicago.

468
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:48,000
No. I'm dogging in Kansas City.

469
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:49,000
Yep.

470
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:51,000
And rightfully so.

471
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:56,000
Until they get this crime situation cleaned up, I'm going to keep speaking about it.

472
00:39:56,000 --> 00:40:02,000
So, anyhow, we had a, I didn't go to this because I wanted to catch you by surprise.

473
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:07,000
We have a podcast syndicator, if you will.

474
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,000
That's what you call them.

475
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:11,000
Show an interest in us, Rob.

476
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:14,000
Yes. You mentioned that to me last year.

477
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:15,000
Oh, did I? Oh.

478
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,000
Briefly. Briefly.

479
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,000
You said we would talk about it.

480
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:22,000
I only got one email from them, and I didn't know if it was, uh,

481
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:26,000
I didn't know if it was true or not, but now I've gotten four emails from them.

482
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:28,000
And they're really interested in us.

483
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:35,000
But, they want full rights to our stuff.

484
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,000
I don't know.

485
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,000
I think, I don't know.

486
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:42,000
I think we just keep, you know what?

487
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:45,000
I, I, no. My vote is no.

488
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:47,000
Me too.

489
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:58,000
I mean, we, Topol, you and I, and other people, have worked too hard on this.

490
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:00,000
I would agree. I would agree.

491
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,000
And the money isn't that great that they're talking right now.

492
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:04,000
I don't see anything.

493
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:06,000
But it's not about money for us, anyhow.

494
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:08,000
If it was about money for us, we would have never done this in the first place.

495
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,000
No. This is about hobby.

496
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:11,000
Yeah.

497
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:16,000
This could save it. This is, this is actually, has helped save me.

498
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:20,000
I was down, and it's brought me up.

499
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:21,000
Yeah.

500
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:26,000
And I'm growing more and more everyday, as a person, because of this.

501
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:29,000
Mm-hmm. Yeah.

502
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:33,000
I personally have been putting too much into it. I know you have.

503
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:37,000
I've been putting everything into it. I enjoy it so much.

504
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:45,000
To sign, to sign it away, and for us to keep doing it, if they even let us keep doing it.

505
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:48,000
No, I know. Once we sign the rights away, it could be anybody.

506
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:52,000
They might be, they might be just wanting, just with a damn name.

507
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:53,000
Could be.

508
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:55,000
It's a bad ass name, man.

509
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:58,000
It is. That's why I bothered to trademark it.

510
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:02,000
The lawyer was snapping so fucking hard.

511
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:10,000
But I told him when I initially called up, he's a local guy, and I talked to him, he's a trademark lawyer.

512
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:13,000
He goes, yeah, what is this name? You're interested in trademarking.

513
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:15,000
Two douchebags and microphone.

514
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,000
What?

515
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:19,000
Two douchebags and microphone.

516
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:22,000
Oh my God, I love it. And I hope he's listening.

517
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:28,000
He said he was going to listen, because he is a humor, he's a humorous guy, a big Minnesota Vikings fan.

518
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:33,000
I told him, hey, call in, email me. So I have you call in. We'll dog the piss out of the Packers.

519
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:36,000
So anyhow, he hasn't yet. I hope he does.

520
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:43,000
Hey, hey, if we ever push the envelope here, we might have a little backup.

521
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:45,000
Yeah, I know, I know.

522
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:48,000
No, believe me, I got him on speed dial.

523
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:53,000
Welcome aboard. Welcome aboard.

524
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:55,000
Yes.

525
00:42:55,000 --> 00:43:00,000
Anyhow, Rob, do you have a story you want to get to? I just wanted to bring that up on the show.

526
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:03,000
Yeah, while you're talking music, I do have a musical.

527
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:06,000
Okay.

528
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:15,000
A legendary American rock band, the Doobie Brothers, are planning to release a new album,

529
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:28,000
and it will include a familiar face who is returning for his first recorded album with the band in more than four decades.

530
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:39,000
Co-founders Tom Johnston and Patrick Simmons are reuniting with singer and keyboardist Michael McDonald

531
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:46,000
to record their first original studio album together in 44 years, they told Billboard.

532
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:49,000
Holy damn.

533
00:43:49,000 --> 00:44:07,000
It will mark the Doobie Brothers' first original record to feature Johnston, Simmons, McDonald, and longtime guitarist John McPhee since one step closer in 1980.

534
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:10,000
Wow.

535
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:13,000
Yeah.

536
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:17,000
That's cool. Very cool.

537
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:24,000
And they're doing a bunch of travel. I see why they're going to be in Kansas City, and they're going to be here in Kansas too.

538
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:28,000
It would make sense if you're going to bring out Back the Lineup, you might as well do a tour.

539
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:32,000
People are going to be interested in seeing that. I am.

540
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:35,000
No, they're coming out with a new album.

541
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:43,000
Yeah. I would not be interested in it if it didn't come back like this. I'd just been like, okay, so, cool.

542
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:47,000
Well, that's good to hear.

543
00:44:47,000 --> 00:45:00,000
Just so by looking at them, I still say they're about hairy asshole.

544
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,000
They are in it, aren't they?

545
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:14,000
Yeah, it's Alice in Chains versus Doobie Brothers at this point, unless we want to continue and add more bands.

546
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:16,000
I would work about that.

547
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:22,000
At this point, yeah, a couple of them.

548
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:23,000
Yeah.

549
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:30,000
Okay. Well, I think we're going to have to go back to the Hairy Asshole Olympics sometime here soon.

550
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:34,000
For those people who don't know.

551
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:42,000
We put musicians and famous people and stars and actors and all this stuff together and try to guess who has a hairiest asshole.

552
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:48,000
We cannot prove it in any way. It's just how we feel.

553
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:50,000
And we try to use logic.

554
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:56,000
Yeah, we try to use logic to like if they're an athlete and they're still an athlete,

555
00:45:56,000 --> 00:46:03,000
maybe they wouldn't have a hairy asshole because they probably would be like there in that so they wouldn't get so sweaty and it wouldn't get tangled up in a jock strap.

556
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:09,000
We use common sense like that to try to determine who wins the hairiest asshole battle.

557
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:14,000
And we put two people against each other. I have 10 people. Rob has 10 people.

558
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:17,000
We have one musician band, the one musician band.

559
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:25,000
We each have a wild card and we have a bring someone back for free card or a pass card or whatever you want to call it.

560
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:27,000
A safe card.

561
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:32,000
A safe card. And that is the game right there. If you want to call it a game.

562
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:36,000
So anyhow, we will be getting back to that in a couple of podcasts.

563
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:44,000
We're going to go back and then we're just going to keep this going. What is this? Is this season two? One?

564
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:45,000
Season four.

565
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:47,000
Season four. That's right.

566
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:51,000
Okay, season four. First battle is done.

567
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:53,000
Second battle. No, this is the third battle.

568
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:55,000
I think we're on our third.

569
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:57,000
We're on our third battle. You're right.

570
00:46:57,000 --> 00:47:00,000
Yeah, our third episode of it.

571
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:01,000
Yep.

572
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:10,000
Let's take a slow break and I got us some Coca-Cola lawsuit news here.

573
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:12,000
We'll be right back.

574
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:15,000
Alright, good. Yeah, good. Yeah, let's switch some gears here.

575
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:18,000
Yeah, yep. We got it. Alright, we'll be right back.

576
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:20,000
Bye.

577
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:31,000
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.

578
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:37,000
Hi all. This is Mark here. I'm usually the one telling you what to eat during an apocalypse.

579
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:41,000
Well, this time I decided to go the other way.

580
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:44,000
You ever consider just going to ground zero and saying fuck it?

581
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:52,000
Do you really want to be the guy running around looking for radioactive deer, guessing whether water is not contaminated or not?

582
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:54,000
No food, no shelter, no nothing.

583
00:47:54,000 --> 00:48:01,000
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.

584
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:04,000
Just a thought.

585
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:11,000
Since we haven't a budget here at Two Douchebags and a Microphone, here's a random guy on the street to promote our show.

586
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:21,000
Hi everybody, I'm Freddy. I love listening to Two Douchebags and a Microphone and I get all my pertinent information from them.

587
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:24,000
They are incredible and I love them so.

588
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:33,000
Now, from this underground bunker camped in Missouri, stocked with dried goods, canned food, and a couple of vibrating toys,

589
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:37,000
is rambling some madman featuring Rob Rad.

590
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:46,000
All those who believe in psychokinesis, raise my hand. That needs to happen.

591
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:53,000
Oh shit, what's that over there? Oh no, it's silent and horrible jokes.

592
00:48:53,000 --> 00:49:03,000
Want to hear a joke about paper? It's terrible.

593
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:19,000
Oh lord, that man just saw a puppy in ha-

594
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:23,000
Hey there, don't worry, I have a clown nose.

595
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:31,000
Oh no, that drunk guy just hit my child.

596
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:35,000
It's okay, I have a clown nose.

597
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:39,000
Clown nose, just put one on and you can do anything.

598
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:46,000
Want to run for office? Murder people in public? Just grab a clown nose and bam, everyone laughs.

599
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:51,000
Clown noses are sold at gag stores online and pedophile conventions. Grab one today and make magic happen.

600
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:57,000
Two douchebags and a microphone, because we all need dick jokes.

601
00:49:57,000 --> 00:50:03,000
Two douchebags and one microphone.

602
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:08,000
Two douchebags and microphone on Mark.

603
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:10,000
And I'm Rob.

604
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:16,000
Like Thor mentioned, we have a Coca-Cola lawsuit that's pretty interesting.

605
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:20,000
I want to get your thoughts on it too, Rob.

606
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:32,000
A Florida tequila lover is taking Coca-Cola to court because its top of Chico margarita hard setzers, or seltzers, however you want to call it, do not contain the Iguabe liquor.

607
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:49,000
Tamra Fletcher bought one of the company's seltzers at a store in Miami-Dade County, expected a margarita in a can, but was disappointed to learn it was just a tequila-less beer product designed to taste like the cocktail, according to the lawsuit filed in federal court on Monday.

608
00:50:49,000 --> 00:51:05,000
She now claims Coca-Cola duped the 60% of Americans who say a margarita is their choice of drink by including Iguabe plants in the design of the can and by calling their seltzer drink a margarita, court documents obtained by the Post show.

609
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:17,000
Fletcher even went as far as to cite definitions of the word margarita from Merriam-Webster and Wikipedia in her efforts to prove that the drinks are supposed to include tequila.

610
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:32,000
So, Fletcher is like all consumers and the public who associate a margarita with tequila and expect this distilled spirit to be part of any alcoholic beverage described as a margarita, the lawsuit says.

611
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:37,000
And I think I could agree with that. What about you, what do you think Rob?

612
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:40,000
Okay. Do you have much more to read?

613
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:47,000
I have more to read, yes. Okay, I'll go through it all and then I'll give the floor to you. That's a good idea.

614
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:48,000
She prefers alcoholic beverages.

615
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:52,000
Yeah, because it may take a turn because I know which way I'm at.

616
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:56,000
Okay, that's cool. I know which way I'm going too. I thought about it.

617
00:51:56,000 --> 00:52:07,000
So, the labeling of margarita hard seltzer across the field of Iguabe plants suggests and tells consumers they are buying a canned version of margarita defined by its presence of tequila, it says.

618
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:13,000
Instead, consumers get an alcoholic beverage without tequila replaced with an alcohol base.

619
00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:26,000
She also argued that the ingredients list on the back and top of Chico cans, which note that they contain Iguabe syrup, not tequila, was insufficient to truthfully inform consumers of what they were buying.

620
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:34,000
The only place buyers are told the margarita hard seltzer is another name for beer has been met through nutrition facts, the suit reads.

621
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:40,000
If you if any would turn the packaging around to know to look for this.

622
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:46,000
She also found I'm going to skip over a little bit of it because it's redundant. It's pretty much telling you the same thing.

623
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:50,000
So I will go to the last page and the closing argument, per se.

624
00:52:50,000 --> 00:53:03,000
She also found it implausible that the plaintiff in that case thought she was buying a product container of tequila when the top of Chico cans were surrounded by soft drinks, beer and hard ciders, hard lemonades and hard sensors.

625
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:09,000
But no hard liquor or cocktails, which cannot be legally sold in grocery stores in New York State.

626
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:18,000
Had she lived in New York for any length of time, she would know that cocktails contained in hard liquor are not and cannot be sold in grocery stores.

627
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:25,000
So, okay, Rob, I will let you speak and then I'll go into it.

628
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:35,000
No, I don't hold it for me. Read the can. Read the can.

629
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:47,000
That's exactly where I'm smart enough to know if it looks like beer and it says five percent, it's beer.

630
00:53:47,000 --> 00:54:08,000
Also, I remember back in junior high or so, we sold candy to the school and we sold candy that was Margarita flavored.

631
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:15,000
Suckers, you know. You had Margarita flavored candy.

632
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:21,000
That's a really good point, Rob.

633
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:25,000
That's a really, really good point.

634
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:30,000
Oh, there's the pineapple and the tropical, you know.

635
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:36,000
Yeah, you know what, you're right. And they do have mocktails, margaritas, which are, you know.

636
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:37,000
Yeah.

637
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:41,000
Okay.

638
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:54,000
Also, another thing is, another reason these hard seltzers are so popular is the younger mindset of less alcohol is better.

639
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:59,000
Right, right. Yeah, you touched on that here, Rob.

640
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:06,000
Yeah. And I don't think it's necessarily for this lady. I think it's for the Ziers and Millennials trying to get to them.

641
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:07,000
Yeah, yeah.

642
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:14,000
Because the younger ones aren't into soda pop like we were growing up. They don't really care that much for it.

643
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:21,000
So, I could see the reasoning of coming up with a drink like this and selling it like that.

644
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:26,000
I don't know. My 19-year-old is a big soda drinker.

645
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:29,000
Oh, okay. Well, I guess, you know, there's exceptions.

646
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:30,000
Yeah, there is.

647
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:43,000
I'm just saying on average from what I've read, you know, like Dr. Pepper's really worried because none of the younger generation even realizes there's Dr. Pepper, it sounds like.

648
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:48,000
No, no, my father agrees. Dr. Pepper and Pepsi, he bounces between the two.

649
00:55:48,000 --> 00:56:03,000
He's the exception then, I think, because I'll try to look for that article. I may have even went into it once on the show about brands that are afraid that they're going to go bye-bye.

650
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:08,000
You know, like McDonald's was, so they come out with Cosmax, which are doing very well.

651
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:22,000
Cosmax is a micro part of McDonald's with an expanded menu that isn't that big. It's just a different menu. It's more like coffee drinks and pastry type stuff.

652
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:30,000
But what it's designed to do is get to the younger generation and it is, you know, the Starbucks generation.

653
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:38,000
And it is actually working pretty well. So now they have a concept of where they might go in the future. You see.

654
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:47,000
So anyhow, we'll see where this goes. My prediction is it's going nowhere. It's going flat on its face.

655
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:50,000
Yeah, I don't see it going any further.

656
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:52,000
But I've been wrong before.

657
00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:54,000
Oh, we both have, yeah.

658
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:57,000
So anyhow, Rob, you got something you want to speak of.

659
00:56:57,000 --> 00:56:59,000
Yeah.

660
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:01,000
All right.

661
00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:03,000
Before is yours, Mike.

662
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:07,000
I love AI at its finest.

663
00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:10,000
You told me about this too.

664
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:13,000
Yeah, yeah.

665
00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:30,000
A Saudi robotics company's unveiling of a male humanoid robot didn't go as planned after it appeared to improperly touch a female reporter.

666
00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:45,000
Saudi robotics company QSS debuted Mohammed the humanoid robot at DeepFest in Ra'ad last week.

667
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:53,000
The robot dressed in traditional Saudi attire spoke Arabic and English.

668
00:57:53,000 --> 00:58:01,000
And look at the picture, man. Yeah. I would think it was a human.

669
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:09,000
Rob, I'm looking at the picture right here. I found the article you're talking about. It looks human to me.

670
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:29,000
Yeah. In a DeepFest post on X, Mohammed was described as the first Saudi robot in the form of a man as well as a national project to highlight Saudi Arabia's AI achievements.

671
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:46,000
During a presentation, a reporter from AI Arabia, Raya Kassim, stood in front of Mohammed as she spoke to the audience.

672
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:58,000
A viral video of the incident showed the robot appearing to extend his hand forward to touch her backside.

673
00:58:58,000 --> 00:59:16,000
In the clip, Kassim Kassim responding with a stern wire followed by a raised palm and Mohammed before she continues to talk.

674
00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:23,000
It could be AI is still a man. Yeah, AI is still a man.

675
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:34,000
We're all pigs at heart, right? Yeah. Well, what a story. Is that it? You got any more? No, that's not it.

676
00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:43,000
Okay. Well, real quick. That's enough on that one. In the interest of fairness, Rob, we have to talk a little baseball.

677
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:48,000
So I'm going to go into spring training news right here, okay? So hang on a minute. Let me...

678
00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:57,000
Yeah, we are getting into baseball. Oh, shit. I lost the paper. Even though it ain't your favorite.

679
00:59:57,000 --> 01:00:07,000
Yeah, I lost the paper. We can't do it. Okay, maybe next time.

680
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:15,000
You see, we're not near running out of time. We still got another 10 minutes. I couldn't do that.

681
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:26,000
I've got an interesting one here and it's kind of a bummer, but I wanted to get to it several weeks now and I'm going to get into it now.

682
01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:38,000
Oh, shit. There goes my beer can. Oh, shit. Yeah, no. No, it's an RC Cola, but it had already been previously drank.

683
01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:45,000
So no harm, no foul. Okay, microplastics are... Hey, do this stupid video. It don't matter what it is.

684
01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:50,000
You know what? Talk this cheap studio where everything goes, including cans hitting the ground.

685
01:00:50,000 --> 01:01:01,000
And it don't matter whether it's Coke or a beer. No, no, no, no, no. But we do want everyone to know that the only Coke, very snobbishly served here, is not...

686
01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:12,000
Coca Cola. Mexican Coca Cola with real cane sugar because we are sugar snobs in the Talk This Cheap Studio.

687
01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:26,000
Just to be fair. So, anyhow, microplastics are everywhere. Even in the fatty deposits called plaque that can build up in the arteries that cause heart disease and strokes.

688
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:34,000
So, they've been doing microplastics for how many years now, Rob? Would you say 30 years? At least?

689
01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:37,000
Oh, yeah. Yeah, at least. At least.

690
01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:47,000
When did there become a big jump in heart attacks and clogged arteries and heart disease? Would you say 30 years coming?

691
01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:49,000
Yeah.

692
01:01:49,000 --> 01:02:01,000
Correlation? Very possible. Proving it? I don't know how you would. But it's something to think about. It's something to keep in the back of your head.

693
01:02:01,000 --> 01:02:16,000
Now, researchers in Italy have found that in people with microplastic in the plaque clogging their neck arteries, the risk of heart attack, stroke, or death was four and a half times higher than in those whose plaque didn't contain plastic,

694
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:24,000
said Dr. Eric Tappo, a cardiologist and executive vice president of Scripps Research in La Jolla, California.

695
01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:38,000
It's extraordinary, he said. I'm a cardiologist for three decades. Plus, I never envisioned we'd have microplastics in our arteries and this presence would accelerate ardeoskeloserous.

696
01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:41,000
I never could say that. Anyhow, they're talking about, you know, heart disease.

697
01:02:41,000 --> 01:02:57,000
The study was published in this week's edition of the New England Journal of Medicine. While it was able to link the presence of microplastic to health effects, it does not prove that the microplastic caused the increase in deaths or heart disease, as there could be other variables at play.

698
01:02:57,000 --> 01:03:13,000
Blockage of the arteries, especially the cardioid, uh, cardioid arteries in the neck. Oh no, it's carotid. I'm sorry. Why would I say carotid? Especially the carotid arteries in the neck is a well-known danger sign for stroke and heart disease.

699
01:03:13,000 --> 01:03:24,000
When the neck arteries become blocked or congested with plaque, less blood flows to the brain, sometimes resulting in a stroke or even death. One treatment is to surgically remove the plugs of plaque.

700
01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:45,000
Many studies have shown that tiny bits of plastic, some too small to be seen, can either enter the human body through food, inhaling or exposure to the skin, and have been found to be in placenta in lungs, liver, breast milk, urine, and blood.

701
01:03:45,000 --> 01:04:01,000
Placenta is afterbirth. To find out there were microplastics in the fatty deposits, the Italian researchers tested the microplastic in the plaque and had been removed from the necks of 257 patients between 2019 and 2022.

702
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:13,000
Of those, 158 had measurable amounts of polyethylene and sometimes polyvinyl chloride.

703
01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:26,000
There are some other, it goes into some other stats, statistics, what have you, but they're all about the same.

704
01:04:26,000 --> 01:04:47,000
And it does make one wonder if the last 30 years, 40 years, that heart disease has been rampant in America, become the number one killer of women, and I think men too, is associated with all these microplastics that they just recently found, or in all of us, in the air.

705
01:04:47,000 --> 01:04:52,000
They go through us. They become part of ourselves.

706
01:04:52,000 --> 01:05:02,000
Right. Yeah. So, it makes you wonder how much damage has been done and how much damage is yet to come from these things.

707
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:08,000
Because let's face it, the cat's out of the bag. They're not going to quit making plastics. There's too much money in it.

708
01:05:08,000 --> 01:05:20,000
Right. So, yeah, that's pretty much it. I really have nothing else to go into on that, except it's pretty scary when you think about it.

709
01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:28,000
I agree with you on that. Yeah. Yeah, I've been wanting to get that one for a while, but we've had some pretty white hearted broadcasts.

710
01:05:28,000 --> 01:05:39,000
And I was like, you know what, I had to get that one out there before it became old news. So, and it might already be old news by now, who knows.

711
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:46,000
Oreo has a new flavor, and so does Pringles.

712
01:05:46,000 --> 01:05:53,000
Oh, yeah. Two favorite flavors, Oreo and Pringles.

713
01:05:53,000 --> 01:06:00,000
Yeah, you can't beat that with a stick. I thought Oreos wasn't going to come up with any more flavors, but they did.

714
01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:11,000
And it's a new lemon-lime, citrus type of a cookie. And there is also...

715
01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:14,000
Hey, is this a Jeffy X-List?

716
01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:16,000
No, no, Jeffy X.

717
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:20,000
That sounds like one. Hell no.

718
01:06:20,000 --> 01:06:25,000
Lemon-lime cookie? No.

719
01:06:25,000 --> 01:06:31,000
You know what, I will have to ask Jeffy X. You know what, you're right.

720
01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:38,000
Pringles, I'm really excited about this one too. Pringles has come up with honey mustard chips.

721
01:06:38,000 --> 01:06:40,000
Oh, that sounds good.

722
01:06:40,000 --> 01:06:44,000
Yeah, yep, yeah, that sounds really good.

723
01:06:44,000 --> 01:06:47,000
That sounds damn good.

724
01:06:47,000 --> 01:06:54,000
The article that I read did not say exactly when they're going to come out, but anyhow, that is a new product that they're going to be offering.

725
01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:59,000
And the other thing is, I don't know if it's for a limited time or if it's going to be a staple.

726
01:06:59,000 --> 01:07:09,000
Something tells me that it's probably going to be a limited time, do sales. They take it away, bring it back, you know, kind of like the McGrib type of deal.

727
01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:16,000
And then while we're talking about food, you know Shake Shack had a really interesting deal.

728
01:07:16,000 --> 01:07:24,000
If the Oscars went under a certain amount of time, the average time the Oscars are, we're going to give away like chicken sandwiches.

729
01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:28,000
If we went over, they're going to give away hamburgers, right?

730
01:07:28,000 --> 01:07:32,000
Well, the Oscars were on the other night.

731
01:07:32,000 --> 01:07:38,000
Shake Shack has given away the free Smoke Shack all this week thanks to the Oscars.

732
01:07:38,000 --> 01:07:45,000
Here's why. Perhaps an attempt to be thrown in and out as a burger destination of choice for post-award attendees,

733
01:07:45,000 --> 01:07:53,000
the popular New York-based Burger Chain announced last week that it was offering a giveaway based on awards show runtime.

734
01:07:53,000 --> 01:07:57,000
Join us for an award-worthy guessing game during Hollywood's biggest night.

735
01:07:57,000 --> 01:08:04,000
How long will Tinseltown's grandest spectacle last? Will it be an epic marathon or a swift sprint?

736
01:08:04,000 --> 01:08:10,000
Shake Shack wrote on this website, according to the official announcement, Shake Shack crunched the numbers

737
01:08:10,000 --> 01:08:14,000
and predicted the Oscar ceremony would last at least three hours and 31 minutes.

738
01:08:14,000 --> 01:08:25,000
The circulation, which was determined by marketing known, incorporated both recently weighted items series and show components.

739
01:08:25,000 --> 01:08:29,000
So, Benny, I don't know what all that had to do with the data that they retrieved.

740
01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:34,000
In the telecast, whenever Shake Shack's prediction, customers could get a free chicken shack.

741
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:40,000
A bestseller, consistent crispy white meat chicken goes into that trying to sell it.

742
01:08:40,000 --> 01:08:50,000
And anyhow, the purchases totaled about $10. So it went over, so everybody got a Smoke Shack burger for free.

743
01:08:50,000 --> 01:08:54,000
But it was also, the offer starts today and lasts through March 18th.

744
01:08:54,000 --> 01:09:04,000
And guests will have to place a $10 order using the code BIGWINS via Shake Shack kiosk or through the chain's mobile app or website.

745
01:09:04,000 --> 01:09:12,000
It's important to note that you cannot claim the free Smoke Shack by ordering at the restaurant counter or through delivery platforms.

746
01:09:12,000 --> 01:09:20,000
Also, the deal is not available in Shake Shack locations at airports, stadiums, arenas, travel plazas or museums.

747
01:09:20,000 --> 01:09:25,000
And paid add-ons such as bacon or avocado are not included.

748
01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:33,000
And the reason that they don't include them in all those places that they said is because those are franchises that are not owned by Shake Shack.

749
01:09:33,000 --> 01:09:35,000
Ah, franchises.

750
01:09:35,000 --> 01:09:39,000
Franchises, yeah. Franchisees or whatever you want to call them.

751
01:09:39,000 --> 01:09:40,000
The F-word.

752
01:09:40,000 --> 01:09:42,000
Yeah, the F-word.

753
01:09:42,000 --> 01:09:50,000
So, anyhow, you got anything you want to go into?

754
01:09:50,000 --> 01:09:52,000
Yeah, I have a story.

755
01:09:52,000 --> 01:09:54,000
Okay.

756
01:09:54,000 --> 01:09:57,000
But first off, hi Grandma Opal, hi Jimmy.

757
01:09:57,000 --> 01:10:03,000
Hi Grandma Opal, hi Jimmy, the greatest grandson ever. Dodge City, Kansas. Ra-Ra, we love you guys.

758
01:10:03,000 --> 01:10:06,000
Yes. Yes.

759
01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:12,000
But, yeah, tonight I'm going to end this on a ghost story.

760
01:10:12,000 --> 01:10:14,000
Awesome.

761
01:10:14,000 --> 01:10:17,000
Yeah, let's go to bed with a ghost story. How's that?

762
01:10:17,000 --> 01:10:20,000
Oh, good, good. Maybe we'll have horrible dreams.

763
01:10:20,000 --> 01:10:36,000
If you look at sites like Wanker where people vote up or down haunted places, you'll occasionally see one ice lake, Missouri Lake, get mentioned.

764
01:10:36,000 --> 01:10:46,000
It's the upper big lake dam near area just north of Charleston, Missouri.

765
01:10:46,000 --> 01:10:55,000
The story haunted houses tells the tale of a fisherman whose nephew was accidentally killed with a shotgun.

766
01:10:55,000 --> 01:11:09,000
As they tell it, the fisherman later returns to upper big lake to fish again, but is practically drowned by what many claim is the ghost of the nephew.

767
01:11:09,000 --> 01:11:13,000
The story doesn't end there.

768
01:11:13,000 --> 01:11:25,000
The upper big lake near Charleston, Missouri has had way too many reports of drownings there, including a Sexton man years ago.

769
01:11:25,000 --> 01:11:38,000
A calm lake like this is not normally what you associate with drownings, but it happened at upper big lake more than it should.

770
01:11:38,000 --> 01:11:46,000
Did a tragedy years ago trigger paranormal activity at this Missouri lake?

771
01:11:46,000 --> 01:11:54,000
It depends on the stories that are now told by those brave waters there.

772
01:11:54,000 --> 01:12:02,000
Wow. I've never heard of that one, ever.

773
01:12:02,000 --> 01:12:10,000
I get into a little bit of paranormal stuff.

774
01:12:10,000 --> 01:12:16,000
So yeah, I have kind of heard about stories about that big lake.

775
01:12:16,000 --> 01:12:21,000
Well, I do too. I'm very interested in the paranormal. Very.

776
01:12:21,000 --> 01:12:25,000
But I've never heard that one. That's cool.

777
01:12:25,000 --> 01:12:32,000
And it's Charleston, the upper lake in Charleston, Missouri? Is that the upper arm?

778
01:12:32,000 --> 01:12:34,000
Upper big lake.

779
01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:43,000
Upper big lake in Charleston, Missouri. I'm going to look that up and try to find out a little bit more information about how to get there and when you can see whatever.

780
01:12:43,000 --> 01:12:46,000
Like, is it apparitions?

781
01:12:46,000 --> 01:12:51,000
Well, no. It's people that drown. You can just drown, dude.

782
01:12:51,000 --> 01:12:55,000
So it's nothing more than just drowning, I guess. Okay. Alright.

783
01:12:55,000 --> 01:12:57,000
Yeah, just drowning.

784
01:12:57,000 --> 01:13:03,000
Okay, for some reason I correlated that into apparitions. That's just my own mind.

785
01:13:03,000 --> 01:13:06,000
I don't know. I don't know.

786
01:13:06,000 --> 01:13:11,000
I want there to be apparitions there, evidently.

787
01:13:11,000 --> 01:13:17,000
That's all this one. I did not back it up.

788
01:13:17,000 --> 01:13:25,000
Well, thinking about it, I guess you did not. I'm trying to go deeper into it. You did not mention apparitions at all. I made that up in my own mind.

789
01:13:25,000 --> 01:13:27,000
So, anyhow. Oh well.

790
01:13:27,000 --> 01:13:31,000
Anyhow, that's why my mind works. Seeing is believing.

791
01:13:31,000 --> 01:13:41,000
So, anyhow. Everybody, thank you for joining us, man. We'll have another fine podcast tomorrow night if the good Lord lets us, right?

792
01:13:41,000 --> 01:13:42,000
Amen.

793
01:13:42,000 --> 01:13:52,000
Yep. If we're not under some tornado warning or something because the weather might get a little shaky around here tomorrow, proving that it might be springtime.

794
01:13:52,000 --> 01:13:54,000
I'm in a bunker.

795
01:13:54,000 --> 01:14:03,000
He's not worried about it. He's underground. I mean, I don't even know how you get phone reception in there. You must have some pickup antennas in there, right?

796
01:14:03,000 --> 01:14:05,000
Maybe one or two.

797
01:14:05,000 --> 01:14:15,000
Well, you can find Rob's bunker online at robrad251 at yahoo.com, right?

798
01:14:15,000 --> 01:14:18,000
Yeah.

799
01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:20,000
Yeah. Yeah. Or it was...

800
01:14:20,000 --> 01:14:21,000
Yeah.

801
01:14:21,000 --> 01:14:36,000
Or it could have been... Okay, for Netscape browsers, you can only get it on the Netscape browser. It's rob251, rah rah, on the Netscape browser.

802
01:14:36,000 --> 01:14:42,000
If you don't know what Netscape is, look it up.

803
01:14:42,000 --> 01:14:46,000
There you go. Thank you, guys. Have a great night. We love you. The assholes.

804
01:14:46,000 --> 01:14:55,000
Bye, assholes.

805
01:14:55,000 --> 01:15:00,000
Ahhhhhhh!

806
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:03,000
Hey, where'd everybody go? Where're the douchebags?

807
01:15:03,000 --> 01:15:04,000
Hm.

808
01:15:04,000 --> 01:15:05,000
Hey.

809
01:15:05,000 --> 01:15:09,000
Oh my God. Someone took a dump in the corner. Oh, geez.

810
01:15:09,000 --> 01:15:13,000
Ugh. Glad they're gone. Let's just hope they don't come back.

811
01:15:13,000 --> 01:15:17,000
Oh, man, that smells.
