Hi, y'all. This is Chicago. I am the most dangerous city in North America. You can't touch me.
Oh, yeah? This is Kansas City here. Hold my beer, bitch. Tomorrow morning while grinding
your coffee beans for your double mocha latte, remember to not get your genitals caught in
the grinder. It really hurts. Who can afford plastic surgery? Stay safe, everyone.
Ground IV is a persistent ground cover that often escapes death by lawn mowers due to its
low profile. It spreads by setting out roots from its nodes and can colonize an area quickly.
Ground IV is in the mint family, so it has square stems which help identify it. Although
it's a mint, it's probably not something you would chew on for that refreshing, tingly
taste that other mints impart. Use young shoots and leaves and salads are cooked, but be sure
to taste before adding too much since it has a strong flavor that may not go over well
in a large quantity.
Hello, everybody. This is Two Douchebags and Microphone. I'm Mark. And I am Rob. Thanks
for joining us tonight. We appreciate it. Rob, how are you doing? I'm doing good, man.
Me and my boss Foreman kicked some butt this afternoon. Good. That's good to hear. We had
a triple steel pull-up and at like 215 and by, he wasn't right down low to like 325,
330. And you get off work at 430, right? At four. Well, what we did was we jumped on one
of our four foot, a little 5,000 pound four foot. I got a big 8,000 pound four foot. He
was unloaded for 20 minutes. I was unloaded for 15 minutes. Wow. 24 bundles of steel,
dude. 24 bundles of steel in that amount of time. Yeah. Geez. I ate my 8,000 pound when
I was picking up two at a time. Okay. Wow. Yeah. We flat booked it, dude. It sounds like
it. That's how we work together, man. That's good, man. You got to do that. The fact that
your Foreman will come out there and get his knuckles sturdy like you speaks volumes. Oh,
dude. No, he... Yeah. Foreman at our place. Oh, it's ungodly what they got to do. The
Foremans at my old place or the lead men or whatever were fucking worthless. I worked
for this one stupid motherfucker that could not get anything right on the orders. That
dumb son of a bitch. He's one of the stupidest people I'd ever met in my fucking life. And
they have him shipping out orders. And anyhow, every fucking day I had to listen to that
stupid son of a bitch say something stupid. And I just wanted to smack the stupid off
his face. You know? So anyhow, go ahead. I'm sorry. I kind of went off there, didn't I?
No, no, no. I was just... I'm just still kind of amazed we got it done that quick. Oh, yeah.
Then the lead man before him in the old position that I worked at when I was in the shop, he
was equally as stupid, but he was aggressive stupid, like he's always wanting to fight.
And anyhow, but a lot of them have bullshit. So anyhow, Rob, did you know that there's
a push for Pluto to be a planet again? Remember in like 2016 or something, they made it not
a planet anymore? You remember that big hubbub? Yeah. Yeah, I remember that. Well, there's
a bunch of scientists that want it to be a planet again. I don't know why. Don't have
an answer what caused this. So here we go. Pluto officially lost its planethood in 2006.
Wow. It was longer than I thought. So let's guess. Oh yeah. I was thinking it was in 16.
Wow. Yeah. I was thinking it wasn't that long ago, but I guess it was. Fast forward 2024,
the Pluto push is on. That's what they're calling it. They're calling it the Pluto
push. The requirement that had Pluto downgraded, Pluto misses out on the ability to clear its
orbital path to debris. It would take a lot more mass, the planet capable of pushing the
rocks out of its orbit. So that's the main reason they de planetized it, if you will.
Scientists are discussing a way to drag Pluto into another orbit. And I'm not joking. I
know this shit is ridiculous. Who gives a damn whether Pluto is a planet or not? They're
trying to figure out ways to push it into another orbit so they can be a planet again.
Who cares? I mean, I mean, I hope they're not spending tax money on this because because
if they are, those guys should be, they, I mean, they should be thrown in jail because
it's criminal. That's where my problem is right there, taxpayer money. I'll bet you
it's taxpayer money. Now, if you want to do it on your own and you have some other scientists
come up with some device to go fund me and you get, I don't know, a billion dollars to
do this or whatever, because everybody's like has a soft heart for Pluto. That's one thing.
But using tax money for stupid shit like that when there's people starving in America, people
that can't pay the rent is atrocious. And those people need to be thrown in prison in
my opinion. So what we're talking about that now that a scientist have some idea about
how to build railroads on the moon, because they unleashed a plan how to build railroads
on the moon. The moon focus railroads on the moon. Yes. What they're trying to do is they're
focus in, they're focusing in on turning the parts of the moon into a potential lunar railroad.
The US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency envisions the future in which a network
of rails covers the lunar surface, transporting humans, resources and supplies from one area
to another. This is an attempt to create a thriving economy on the moon. This involves
13 other companies such as Jeff Bezos, Jeff Bezos Blue Origin, and Elon Musk SpaceX. I
mean, how in the world can they take people up there and put them on a railroad when you
have to sign a disclaimer just for fucking bumper cars, right? First off, you got to
get them there. Yeah. And that probably would take a 50 page disclaimer, let alone when
you're on the moon, anything that you do on the moon. I mean, what year are they talking
about starting this up? Is all the constructed? Yeah. They're talking about doing this immediately,
because they got Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk behind this project. You know, so now the
moon can be a playground for the ultra rich, Rob. So let's go let's go pollute and fucking
screw up the moon guys. We did it. We did enough. You know, billionaire club is welcome.
You know, all it is is they want it to be a playground for the ultra rich to go do shit
like this, right? Oh my god. Yeah. It's atrocious. And I don't agree with it one bit. Leave the
fucking moon alone. You already destroyed our planet. Don't go somewhere else and destroy
something else. What you want you work on fixing ours first before you go screwing up
something else. So I've always had a problem with our space program. And that exact reason
we should take care of this place. Why we don't go first? All that tax dollars was under
the this is going to help us. This is going to help us. This is going to help us learn
more about the you know, the planet that's going to help us. No, I think the whole thing
was a ruse to see if they can monetize the moon. And that's what's going on. They're
trying to monetize the moon. And I think it's criminal. I don't like it. Leave it alone.
You already fucked up our planet good enough. Don't be going somewhere else and doing that.
So anyhow,
Oh, okay, hang on. Hang on. This is what we need to start doing is start doing some ass
paddling. Taking note. Hang on. All right. I got a little notebook here for asshole.
And that will be railroad on moon and everyone involved, right? Right. Okay. And we can even
mention some names. Everyone involved. I tell you else is getting ass paddling. Rushy Rice.
Yeah, I was not going to be the one to bring that up. Oh, I was gonna say it last time.
But we got distracted talk. Well, last night, I was gonna say last night, but we got distracted.
But anyhow, we need to quit giving away our people we're gonna ask paddle because it's
not gonna be a secret until we get to it. So anyhow, anyhow, what made me think of him
is he came out with a statement today, or maybe it was yesterday. And he said that he
is cooperating with the authorities, even though he was missing for three, four days.
And so I guess his his lawyer came out and said that. And then he learned up. Yeah. But
so did some people that were hurt in it. A lady from what I read had a huge laceration
from the forehead down to her eyebrow. These people were driving a white Mercedes. So they
have money, and they lawyered up and they want something done about it. They're pissed
off as hell that he left them maybe for dead. And they're not letting it go. And they're
going to try to take it to the biggest court they can try to from the way I read it, prosecute
criminally and liability wise. So Rushy Rice is just the tip of the iceberg on what he's
going to be doing. And you know what, something doing something that fucking stupid. I can't
agree with the people that were injured more. If that was me or someone I love, I would
want the motherfucker in jail. Wouldn't you? Right. So I get it. Look, he's a great football
player. And I don't think we should get rid of him because our enemies going to pick him
up and use him against us. So what do you mean? What do you? Yeah, I mean, he's going
to work somewhere. So we might as well have him work here. But he does have to go through
the system and he has to take responsibility for what he did. And he's going to have to
face whatever punishment that comes his way. So anyhow, I just wanted to speak about that,
because there seemed to be some sort of an issue. The lawyer came out with that statement.
But then the authority said something like they still haven't seen him. He still hasn't
come forward. So he did something like he got a hold of his lawyer and said, you issue
a statement and I'm going to stay hid. So I mean, I don't know what the benefit of staying
hid is right now. You know what I mean? I mean, if he was drinking and driving, they're
not going to find out now. I mean, it's too far down the road. So I don't get what the
benefit is. World champion football player. They're going to find you. Oh, yeah. Yeah,
they are. They're going to find him. And then they had video of him and video of the other
guys. And then the rental company confirmed that Rashi Rice did rent that car. And they
also stated they said that he was the only one that was able to get, you know, that was
under their agreement. He was the only guy that could drive that car. So they're assuming
it was him. Yeah, they're assuming that it was him. But that don't mean nothing. You
know, I know that. Yeah, you know what he could. But still, if it was not him driving
that car, he would have stepped up immediately. Exactly. And he now is just playing little
reindeer games trying to be like staying away. And then I guess he's going to come out a
little bit later. I mean, maybe he hasn't come up with a good enough excuse, or maybe
he's lawyering up with some really good lawyers and he's laying low. And then he's going
to come out with one statement at once and then come out and be visible and get arraigned
and all that. So I don't know. But I know he did a very boneheaded thing. And I don't
think of him quite the same now. You know, no, anyone that would leave someone for dead
like that. I don't know. Not a good person, in my opinion, at the very least. Probably
about a lot of other things. So anyhow, Rob, you got something you want to go into? Yeah,
I do. All right. This car times. Oh, hang on real quick. Hi, Grandma Opal. Hi, Jimmy.
Hi, Grandma. Hi, Jimmy. Hope you guys are doing well. Dodge City. Ra Ra. We love you
guys. All right. Go ahead, Rob. You would do well to take heed to new warnings just
issued by the Missouri Highway Patrol about the upcoming historic total solar eclipse
that will cross the state on April 8, 2024. Some are things you might not have thought
but should. The Missouri Highway Patrol issued a new bulletin just days ago advising residents
to prepare and also avoid big mistakes during the total solar eclipse. They note that the
eclipse path of total T will cover more than 115 miles from popular bluff area all the
way through Cape Girardeau. Yeah, the totality is like right over them. They're getting 100%.
So I imagine it's crazy down there right now. People lining up to get in their hotels ahead
of time. I hope it's cloudy. Here are the 10 things they warn you should and shouldn't
do on eclipse day. Okay. Do not plan on pulling over on any roadways or any states when the
eclipse reaches totality. I can see that. Make sure you know where you plan to view
the eclipse safely and make sure you get there early. I bet. To all those procrastinators.
You know, it's only 100% in that area. I don't think it's 100% anywhere else. Do not try
to take pictures of the eclipse when you are driving. Only in America. Only in America.
Yeah. Move them right along. If you do have to drive when the eclipse reaches totality,
turn your headlights on manually and don't rely on them to turn on automatic. Yeah. Know
that your travel before, during and after the eclipse will be slower than usual and
allow for delays and very extended travel times. Yeah. Pay extra attention to pedestrians,
especially on less traveled roads. Well, you know there's going to be idiots everywhere,
Rob. Yeah. It's like driving under dark, man. Come on. Yeah. There's going to be zombies
all over the fucking place looking at this thing and not watching you on the road. Yeah.
It'd be like driving Halloween night. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly, Rob. That's a great analysis,
actually. Here we go. Number seven. If you can avoid traveling during the eclipse totality,
please do so. Okay. I will. I'm going to be at work. I like this next one too. Okay.
Do not wear your eclipse glasses while driving, whether it's in a vehicle, on the road or
on a boat. That is what I like. I love that one too. Have your vehicle checked and make
sure it's road ready before you travel for the eclipse. Yup. Bring emergency food, snacks,
supplies with you in your vehicle in the event of an emergency. Okay. And that was that.
Wow. There's a couple there I like. There's a couple there I like. Most of them were obvious,
but there's a couple of them that really kind of took a pretty good snap, a picture snap
of what it's going to be like that day in any populous area that it's going to be 100%.
So you can depend, you can bet on everyone being down there in that small area, all the
hotels booked and everybody outside with their glasses not watching people. And I like the
way they stated that like, Hey, you know, like you said, it's going to be like Halloween
night. You have yet look, if you're driving while this thing's going on, don't try to
see it. Make sure your eyes are on the road. And I love the way it's stated. Don't wear
your glasses while you're driving because you know, there's some idiots that they can
they have to wear it no matter what. Otherwise they'll go blind or whatever. So even in a
boat, even in a boat. Yeah. Yeah. I was speaking of boats. I told you, I watched that Harley
race thing, dark side of the ring last night. It was really, really good. They were talking
to like his best friend, this wrestling historian. I didn't know this, but did you know that
Harley race had a first wife when he was younger and her and she was carrying his baby. They
were both killed in a car wreck. It was snowing and I guess it was really slick and a truck
that was coming the other way skidded towards them or something like that. One, one car,
one vehicle skidded towards the other is head on. She died right there and he, they said
there he was never going to walk again and they were going to amputate his leg. And one
of the wrestlers, you'll have to watch the whole thing, but the land that his dad was
harvesting was owned by a couple of wrestling promoters. And anyhow, they came in there
said, don't man, don't, don't do not. This guy's going to walk again. I guarantee you,
he's going to walk again. They didn't amputate because the people said, don't amputate. And
then, and then he did walk again and he became one hell of a wrestler. They had Rick Flair
on there talking about him. It was very good. And they had excerpts of a Hulk Hogan and
it was off of the bubble of love's fun show because you know, they used to be best friends
and they took an excerpt out of that. And they, I mean, it was, it was very well done
and there's a lot of stuff that I did not know about Harley race that was really interesting.
So when you get a chance, it's probably going to be a couple of weeks before it hits YouTube.
Usually they have to, they have to film it a certain amount of time. They have to show
it for a certain amount of time on a, on the network that bought it. And then it'll go
to YouTube and get the Stracklings, you know, that people don't have the vice channel or
whatever. So anyhow, when you get a chance, Rob, look at up, it was very good dark side
of the ring and it's on vice channel and all you got to do is just type it in. And then
when you get there, type in Harley race. So, um, that was pretty cool. Um, like I thought
it would be. So anyhow, uh, let's go ahead and take our first break. And then when we
come back, we have this new feature that we're pretty proud of. It's stars and peep famous
people that pick and eat their earwax. Rob has his lab, his list. I have mine. So we'll
be right back here in a minute. Ready to give these seven lists out.

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
little guy. I'm on fire at night. I sit there and I reflect on all the souls I burned that
day. Enjoy.
Next time you take a dump, listen to two douche bags and a microphone. It's been proven
in laboratory rats to relax your anal canal. Get in cover.
And now, deep thoughts with Mark.
So let me see. Let's say I was offended by people being offended. Then would people being
offended all the time would have to not be offended around me because I was offended
by them being offended? I may never know.
Two douche bags and a microphone invade your ear holes and hey, who took a dump in the
cooler?
And we are back. Two douche bags and microphone. I'm Mark.
And I am Rob.
Alright, well like we said previous, before the break, we have this new segment we're
pretty damn proud of and it's simply called People. Famous people that pick their ear
wax and then they eat it. So Rob, without any further ado, you have your top five?
Yes I do.
Alright Rob, go forth and let us know. And if you want to give us a description why,
that's fine. Or if you just say they look like an earwax eater, that's fine too. Because
I understand.
Okay, first up, John Lemons.
Oh, he does look like an earwax eater, doesn't he?
Yes he does. He acts like one too.
Yes he does. Man dude, that was a great one right off the bat. You can just see him doing
that going, mwah mwah mwah.
Yeah.
Oh my god, that's brilliant Rob, I love it.
Next up, where's your body?
God rest his soul, but yeah, I bet he was an earwax eater and he probably is in the
great beyond, don't you think?
He very well could be.
In the afterlife, he probably didn't scratch that habit, it's probably too ingrained in
him. So let's say he's up in heaven right now, he's probably picking his ear wax and
eating it, don't you think?
Yeah.
Yeah. And look, we're not dogging you, bruiser Brody. When we get up there, we don't want
you to kick him out. No, we think it's awesome.
I don't need you kicking my ass in my sleep, dude. I'm giving you praise, brother.
I am too, because the last thing I want to do when I make it through the pearly gates
is get my face kicked in by a wrestler, a big wrestler with air. Good one. I think he
probably looks like an earwax eater.
This next one, it took a little bit of thought.
Okay.
But I'm going with John Liscow.
Ooh! I could see that.
After he played Prince Farquaad in Shrek, and he watched Shrek pull his earwax out
and use it for candles. I think he tried it, but I think he just thought it was like a
character's get into it.
I love that, dude.
But I think it carried over to real life.
I could very well see that, Rob. I could very well see that. I think that sometimes
life imitates art, and that's what you got right there.
We got John Liscow picking his earwax, allegedly, and eating it. So yeah.
Cool. That was a good one.
Next, Riza Mar.
Oh yeah! Gosh yeah! I'm surprised I missed her, Rob. Man, you're not kidding.
Here's why. She has a macadamia nut and livestock farm in Hawaii. What else is she going to do?
Oh yeah, you know what? There's nothing else to do except watch the nuts grow. So you know
she's picking her ears every damn day and eating that wax. She has nothing else to do.
Yeah.
Yeah, I bet. I think that is solid reasoning, Rob. Solid reasoning.
Okay, and for my final one, Vincent Price.
Oh, I love Vincent Price, too. But just the shape of his face tells me he could. He's
very much a potential earwax eater. So I think I would tend to agree with you as much as
I still love the guy and this is a compliment to him. We think it's great that you eat your
own earwax. We're lovingly talking about it, right?
Yes, yes. I was just thinking of his movies, his characters, you know.
Yeah, he always played a creepy...
I could see him doing it.
Yeah, I could, too. I think Vincent Price, although I'd never thought about it ever before,
I think that's a great choice. Once I think about it, I'm thinking, yeah, he does look
like an earwax eater. We love, we don't hate it. We don't hate it. We think he's awesome.
Yes, yes.
Alright.
Alright. Let's see your list.
I got my little list here and I have some has-beens on there. I think has-beens eat
their earwax out of nervousness because nobody recognizes them like they used to. They're
not making any money off of being in movies and I think they're very nervous people that
pick at their ears and eat their earwax. I think it's a habit for nervousness, right?
So that's why I have so many of these has-beens. I think they're nervous people and I think
that because of that, they pick their earwax and they eat it. So my first one, Lorenzo
Llamas.
Alright.
He is an earwax eater. Think of him.
Yeah.
Yeah. I mean, he just, he screams earwax eating. With his weird acting to his look and everything,
I'm betting anything, whenever he's alone, he attacks that ear canal and grabs that shit
out of there and chews the piss out of it. What do you think?
I can see it. I very well can see that.
Yeah. And this next guy, I just think he looks like an earwax picker and eater. Larry Bird,
the hick from French Lick. Him. I think he picks his ears and eats the wax.
Good one.
Yeah, he just looks like it, doesn't he?
Just because of where he's from.
Oh, from French Lick, Indiana. Yeah, that's true.
Yeah, I mean, there ain't much to do around there.
Oh no, watch the wheat grow? Yeah.
Yeah, that's about it.
Watching the wheat grow gets very boring, so you have to have some sort of a hobby. And,
you know, I mean, what kind of hobby can you have when there's nothing around? Picking
your earwax and eating it. Sounds like a perfect hobby to me, doesn't it? Doesn't it to you?
Yeah.
Cool. My next one, another has been, but I think she demands this, being called out about
her earwax picking and eating. Clarissa Flockhart.
Oh, damn.
She is an earwax eater from hell. Ally McBeal, you tell me she's a...
Yeah, I hadn't even thought about that.
Yeah, she eats the piss out of her earwax. Matter of fact, she might have gained a couple
of pounds eating earwax alone. I mean, you know, she is a skinny little thing, real skinny.
Yeah.
Well, she could use the weight.
Yeah, she could. That's what I'm saying. I'm thinking the earwax might actually beef her
up a little bit and make her look a little bit better, right?
Yeah.
Yeah. My next one, and I think this is going to get you really good when you think about
it, another has been Tony Danza. That guy.
Oh, yes. I can see that 100%.
Yeah, I can see him.
Yeah.
Come in. Hey, yo, man. Yeah, what's up? And picking his fucking ears and fucking chewing
on it.
Yeah.
What you guys doing here? Yeah, just hanging. Yeah, I could just see it. I mean, he just,
he reeks of earwax picking and eating. Every time I look at him, I'm like, uh-huh, I know
what you're doing, buddy. I know exactly what you're doing.
Yeah.
So, the next one.
That's why him and Judith Light never hooked up.
Yeah, that is why. It is because.
Yeah.
He was an earwax pick eater.
Yeah, every time she tried to kiss him, she smelt earwax on his breath and couldn't do
it.
She wanted to. She just couldn't get past it.
She just couldn't get past it, you know. So, I can't blame her. Earwax does not smell that
becoming, so I get it.
The next one and final one is Jimmy Kimmel. He is an earwax eater. To me, he reeks.
Oh, most definitely.
Yeah. In my opinion, he reeks of earwax eating and picking. And I think whenever nobody's
around, he constantly does it. And I think he has to go to the doctors for psychiatric
help to where he doesn't do that as much because I think he picks his ears to where they bleed.
Yeah.
Yeah. Yep. So, alright. Both are lists. I think that went over pretty well. I think
we both put a lot of thought into it.
I know, I did.
I did too. I mean...
I came up with most of my own while I was working.
I do that all the time too. I take a scratch pad with me to work. And whenever I come up
with an idea, if I can't put it in my phone right away, I have my phone put away, I'll
scratch it down on there. And one time I left it on top of there where I work at. Someone
came up and saw all these weird things like, you know, like, I don't know, new fucking
hard on pill and, you know, body rubbers and all this stuff. And they're like, what the
hell are you writing? And I go, it's for my podcast. Settle down. It's ideas I come up
with while I'm working. And they're like, oh, okay. Anyhow. Yeah, I take a scratch pad
with me and I just scratch on it if I don't have my phone. What do you do? You decide
to remember them or do you...
I got a couple there at work. It's just that from the time it comes in my head to the time
I get a chance to walk over and write it down, whether I can remember or not, you know.
Yeah, yeah. And I've forgotten some boozies before. I'll get home and I'll go, damn it.
I love that idea, but I can't think of what it was. And it drives me nuts because it was
a fantastic idea. And then I can't remember it. I want to go into something a little bit
weird. I mean, as if that's not normal around us. My phone the last few weeks has given
me a weekly report on how many hours I was online and how many was when I was driving.
Okay.
I understand them wanting you to make aware of your spending time online while you're
driving. I'm wondering how much of is that streaming stuff like two douchebags and a
microphone.
Exactly.
You know what I mean? But I find it really invasive that my phone can just come back
at the end of the week. It tells me on a Sunday. It's done it for three weeks in a row. So
this is how many hours you spent online and this is how many while you were in the car.
That's too much. The fact that that contraption knows that much and can send it back to me
and tell me about it is insane. And the thing is, is I think it would have to be my carrier
Verizon, right? I don't know who else could have done that because they keep track of
your hours and all that stuff, right? So it has to be Verizon doing it. And anyone out
there that listens to this podcast, if you have Verizon or not, if you don't, and you've
had this happen, let me know about it. And when did it happen? And if it tells you the
same information it tells me. I would love to know that because I'm pretty sure this
happens to other people. I'm not the only one that's done this to, right?
So anyhow, Rob, go ahead. The floor is yours.
All right. I told you about this story last night when we got out of Oklahoma.
Uh huh.
And that's a little winky. Not too bad.
Go ahead.
An appeals court judge in Oklahoma reportedly told state execution schedulers to suck it
up and man up after they requested a 90-day period between executions in an effort to
combat trauma, accommodate staff shortages, and reduce the potential for errors. The state
plans to execute 25 prisoners whose appeals are exhausted in less than three years, about
58% of the inmates on death row in Oklahoma. At a hearing last Tuesday, Judge Gary Lumpkin
responded to a request to slow down Oklahoma's execution style. The state had requested a
gap between executions to be increased from 60 to 90 days to reduce strain on Department
of Confection staff. In a letter to the court filed in January, Steve Hart, executive director
of the department, said the existing schedule was too honest and not sustainable.
Wow.
Oklahoma's attorney general, Richard Drummond, cited concerns of another botched execution
if the state didn't slow down. Last year Drummond appealed for clemency on behalf of Richard
Crossep, who has already come within hours of being put to death three times, but he
was convicted of a 1997 murder.
Three times? He was hours away from execution?
Yeah.
Wow.
Judge Lumpkin, according to the non-profit Oklahoma paper, The Frontier, was unimpressed
with arguments for spacing out the execution schedule, describing them as sympathy stuff.
Quote, man up if you can't do the job. Step aside and let somebody do it that can't.
Lumpkin said at the hearing, he spent a reasonable amount of time to start this out and y'all
keep pushing and pushing and pushing it.
Wow.
I don't know where to go with that.
What's your feelings on this?
Okay. All right. All these people obviously deserve to be put to death, right? I mean,
under the way, some people don't believe in that. They don't believe in corporal punishment.
I'm one that does. I think it's fine if someone did that heinous of a crime, that they should
have their life taken. You know, the person they killed had their life cut short, so I
for an I, it's even in the Bible. So, I think that they need to, like he said, suck it up
and just do it. Because you want to know the definition of cruel? Going on death row hours
away from being put to death three times in a row. That's cruel and excessive, don't you
think?
Well.
But, look, I'm not saying he doesn't deserve it. I'm not saying that. I'm just saying
really, honestly, just do it or don't act like you're going to, right? And all the resources
that was wasted, all the time that was wasted, everything. What do you think?
Well, I
I'm looking on the correction officer's point of view.
Go ahead.
My brother was a corrections officer.
Okay.
Okay, you have to give your employees time to recuperate from this.
You know, you're right. I never even thought about that.
That's a lot of mental stress.
I've never even thought about that, Rob. You're right. It has to be.
And that was their battle in court. And this judge said, no, suck it up. You're going to
kill somebody every 50 days.
You know, I didn't think about it from that.
That gets won in 98. Just give us another 30 days, you know?
You know what? You changed my stance, Rob.
You changed my stance. I think you're right. I think you and your brother are right.
I hadn't even talked to him about this.
Oh, okay. Well, I think you're correct.
You know, as a matter of fact, it psychologically screws people up so bad. Whenever they used
to do a fire squad, they had to have like seven men.
One of them had real bullets. The other ones did not.
So no one directly knew that they killed that man.
You see? So I can believe that.
Right.
If they have to do that when they used to have a firing squad, then you know damn well
old Sparky or whatever. However, gas chamber injection probably I think is what they do now.
I think that as far as the story, they did the lethal injection.
Well, you know what? I'm just thinking about it a little bit further now, Rob.
And you have to look that person in the eye while you're injecting them.
Another person has to witness it. Another person has to be at the door.
You know, all these people have to look this person in the face and know that they're putting them to death.
Only difference is it's legal how they're doing it.
It wasn't legal how the person did it. Right?
And then 60 days later be expected to do it again to somebody else.
Well, you're going to have people say...
And then 60 days after that, dude, that job don't pay enough.
Exactly. You're right, Rob.
And my boat.
Man, you know what? I was completely wrong.
You know what? I'm completely changing my stance. You're right. You're right.
I'm thinking the people of Oklahoma need to... I mean, it's an election year.
I think they need to be looking at their judges.
I think you're right. You know, I'm trying to put myself in their shoes.
Yeah.
I couldn't imagine looking someone in the face and going, well, yeah, you're going to die.
I know you're a heinous person and you did this and this.
You're going to die and I'm the one that's going to make sure that you're dying, you know, that you're dead.
And you have to look them in the face.
Right.
And do that. That would probably really scar you psychologically, even though, you know, the person probably deserved it
and they did something so heinous, you know, and all that, that you're like, well, you know what?
This guy, he obviously doesn't care about anyone else, so why should I care about him?
Still being as a human, right?
Right.
Looking someone in the face.
I have to tell you, I've got to tell you, I found that on The Guardian.
Oh, The Guardian is great. They have a lot of good articles.
Yes.
Yeah.
Okay.
That way, I mean, there's a little more to read about it.
So, yeah.
But...
Direct people there, that way they can get a little bit better clarification.
But I think you described it well enough, Rob. I got exactly what you were saying out of what you were saying.
So, all right, let's take us a break. And I have a list of words that are disappearing as of 2024.
No one's using them anymore. And Webster is going to start taking these in the next couple of years.
They're going to take these words out of the dictionary because they are de-wording the word.
I love stuff like this.
Yeah, I do too. So these are words that are getting de-worded and they're not going to be classified as a word
because people are not using them anymore. So we'll be right back.
Have you ever wondered where something came from?
Have you ever looked at something and said,
Hmm, I wonder what the origin of that is?
Well, so have we. That's why we give you The Origin of...
The Origin of Socks. Believe it or not, the ancient Egyptians are responsible for knit socks.
From around 300 to 500 AD were the first recorded knit socks worn by anybody in the world.
Next up, Things Overheard in Hell.
Howard Stern just signed a 10-year contract extension.
Our constant pursuit for a real knee-slapper.
It's strange insults from an alien. Real hilarity.
If you were a spice, you would be flour.
When taking a shower, remember to scrub your asshole with soapy water because nobody likes a stinky asshole.
You need protection from fucktards. You have people coming and fucking with you constantly.
You need answers. You need solutions.
Smack in the nuts. That's right.
Smack in the nuts is what you need.
Smack in the nuts, get rid of said losers in no time flat.
Smack in the nuts. Available everywhere wherever you buy self-defense items.
Here are just a few testimonials from some satisfied customers.
Stupid fuck sack come to me. He talk stupid. He no let me go.
Smell like sack of shit. He spit talk all over.
I remember smacking balls. I use shit sack.
Shit sack lie on ground. I walk off.
Thank you, smack in the balls. You saved me from smelly smelly spit.
Well, I had this stupid son of a bitch come around me.
He would not shut his fucking yap for nothing.
He gets up on me and he talks all stupid.
And I didn't know what to do. I could not shake this motherfucker like a booger.
Then I remember smack in the nuts.
I pulled out old smack in the nuts and that motherfucker went down like a sack of fucking potatoes.
Thank you, smack in the nuts. You saved me once again from stupid motherfuckers.
Smack in the nuts. Don't leave home without it.
And now, deep thoughts with Mark.
Man, I sure wish I was the garbage man. You know what I could do if I was the garbage man?
I could go to the wrong parts of town on the wrong days periodically in the morning.
And then watch everybody run out of their house in their underwear with two bags of trash screaming, stop, halt.
Yeah, that's what I'd love to do.
Oh shit, what's that over there?
Oh no, this is island of horrible jokes.
Ugh.
I put a wooden shoe in my toilet. I guess it was clogged.
Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho.
And we are back. This is two douche bags and a microphone on Mark.
And now I'm Rob.
I have a couple things before I get to the real quick things.
The disappearing words, the words that are being de-worded according to Marion the Dictionary.
So, okay, first off, Blue Bell has a new flavor, gooey butter cookie.
It is so popular people are on a waiting list to get it from your local store when it shows up.
The waiting time approximately is three months to get this.
And I think it's coming out in a couple of weeks.
People are that excited about gooey butter cookie, Blue Bell, that they're on a waiting list for it.
Number two, I had my code cracked.
Someone recognized my fake story because they work at Coca-Cola.
And they know there's more fizzy, yeah, yeah, they work at the bottling plant in Lenexa.
And they sent me an email and said, dude, I know for a fact that was a lie.
I know that's a fake story.
He goes, I work for Coca-Cola here at the bottling plant and nobody here heard of that at all.
And then I guess he looked it up on the internet and everything and he pretty much figured out that that was my fake story.
So this means I can come up with another fake story.
So and I haven't come up with it yet.
When I'm getting ready to tell you these de-wording is true, it is not a fake story.
And these are words that people don't use enough.
So Merriam Webster.
So sorry to interrupt.
No, no, that's fine.
I'm guessing nobody's caught mine yet?
No, no.
Damn.
I know.
I thought his outline would have been easy.
Well, the only reason mine got caught is because this guy worked at Coca-Cola.
Right, right.
If the guy at Coca-Cola didn't hear that podcast, I don't think it would have been caught.
He just happened to listen to it.
He lives in Lenexa and he's emailed before.
He's not Johnny and everyone else.
Oh, he could deliver his pencil shavings in person.
That's funny.
That's what I told him.
I said, give me your address.
I'll bring you your pencil shavings.
He wrote back, that's OK.
Give them to another lucky listener.
So he has a sense of humor.
I like him already.
I do too.
Anyhow, he goes by L.
And I think his real name is Larry because it's on the email.
So anyhow, but he goes by L. That's it.
Just L.
So anyhow.
This is a list of words that are disappearing in 2024.
They're not out of the dictionary yet.
Merriam-Webster just announced that they're de-wording them and they are not going to be an official word anymore.
So the number one, fictitious or fictitious or however you want to call it.
And the word, we've all heard fictitious, right?
Or fictitious or fictitious.
Right.
I'm going to pronounce it a little bit different.
This word describes someone who doesn't like a situation or doesn't take a situation seriously.
Or to use sarcasm to mock and ridicule.
So if you say someone's being fictitious, then I guess that's pretty much what it means according to the context of it.
So Merriam-Webster said that that word is not being used enough anymore.
They're quite simply going to be de-worded and it's not going to be in the dictionary anymore.
Because every year they add words, right?
They add new words that are like slang or whatever.
I didn't know they de-worded stuff too until I found this article.
So number two, henceforth.
It's pronounced henceforth.
H-E-N-C-E-F-O-R-T-H.
I've heard it before of you.
Yeah, I grew up hearing that.
Um, me too.
And I always thought I knew what it meant and I was pretty much right and I think you're right too because of the way it's always used.
It's a fancy way of saying that their point is on target.
Oh no, wait a minute.
Shit, that's the...I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I went down a little bit.
Henceforth, it's a fancy way of saying from this point on.
Sorry.
I need to find my glasses because I just blended two sentences together.
I fucked it up completely.
And remember when you said, you know, there's something about me keeping my glasses in here because I could always find them?
I was just getting right off.
Well, I took them out to read a book the other day and I never brought them back.
I screwed up a couple of weeks ago.
I need to bring them back.
So, this one I've never heard before.
It's morrow.
M-O-R-R-O-W.
It is a term used to describe an event's day as in tomorrow.
Like, morrow we attack the village.
So, all they did was take out the ta and they just used morrow.
To me...
Okay, I remember that back in English class in school.
Back in the 70s.
Yeah, yeah.
To me, it's a workless word and here's why.
It's not that hard to say ta in the front of morrow.
Right.
I don't understand why on all words that they could shorten, they shorten tomorrow in tomorrow.
What?
It doesn't really make sense to me because it's not that big a pain in the ass to say ta.
You know?
So, anyhow, that word is getting de-worded.
Have you ever heard this, Rob?
I used to, but I haven't heard it in a long, long time and I do believe they're correct on this.
Cra-pulus.
C-R-A-P-U-L-O-U-S.
Cra-pulus.
It's been ages since I've heard that.
Me too.
I remember as a little kid hearing that and I didn't understand the definition of it.
Yeah.
And this is completely different than I thought it was.
Thinking about it.
It's showing the effects of alcohol.
And in the sentences, I called an Uber because my cra-pulus was excessive.
Did you think it meant that?
No, I didn't.
No, no, no.
Yeah, it just simply means that alcohol is affecting your judgment or vision or something.
And you say cra-pulus to describe that alcohol is impeding you in some way.
So I didn't even take a hit of alcohol.
I didn't either.
I thought cra-pulus meant like a heap of shit.
I thought it was such a piece of crap that it was awesome.
Me and you, okay.
You know?
I always thought it was like a huge pile of shit, cra-pulus.
But you thought it was a little bit different.
You see, I mean, we're both wrong.
Yeah.
The next one that's getting de-worded is ker-fuffle.
K-E-R-F-U-F-F-L-E.
Now I've heard that before.
It's been a long time since I heard it, but ker-fuffle.
Do you know what that means?
Very long time, yeah.
Can you get an idea what that means?
Because I pretty much did know it.
I think it was one of my great-aunts.
I didn't have a clue what she was talking about then.
Okay.
Ker-fuffle is a way of saying a disturbance or commotion caused by a dispute or conflict.
And using a sentence, a ker-fuffle ensued after a parking lot exchange between two men.
So it's like saying there was like a altercation or a what else?
You know, just trying to describe like there was some sort of a fight that went on.
And instead of saying, yeah, man, they're kicking the shit out of each other.
They go, boy, it's quite a ker-fuffle.
Yeah.
So that word is getting de-worded.
And then finally, ob-bit-cu-ous.
I've heard that before.
Never heard it.
I never heard it.
I never understood what it meant.
But ob-bit-cu-ous is obedient or attentive to an excessive degree.
So I don't necessarily give a shit that that word's being de-worded to you.
No.
Yeah.
So anyhow, there you go.
This is a list of words that are going to be de-worded here soon because Merriam-Webster
says nobody uses them enough so they're giving up on them.
So anyhow, Rob, you got something you want to go to?
Yeah, I do.
I got one of your favorites.
American songwriter?
Yes, I am.
All right.
Five classic songs by various artists featuring late Toto drummer Jeff Picardo.
Ooh, I like this already.
Go ahead.
Oh, I'm telling you, dude, I did not know how big he was until I read this.
Okay.
The late Toto drummer Jeff Picardo was celebrated his 70th birthday on April 1, 2024.
A co-founding member of the Better Rock Band, Picardo also was considered one of the finest
session drummers in music business.
Scadli Picardo was just 38 years when he died of a heart attack on August 5, 1992.
Wow.
And it goes on, he was 17 when he got his first major music gig playing drums in Sonny
Hicks' touring band.
Wow.
And it just goes on.
Well, here's a list of just five of the many well-known tunes that feature Picardo's drumming
skills.
Cool.
They're by other people, not Toto.
Although, you can find out.
He got his fame in Toto.
The other Toto members join in too.
He got his fame in Toto is what you're saying, but he had so much of a part of everything
else that people didn't realize it, right?
Yeah, his side step.
Yeah.
Okay.
He played on Bob Scad's slowdown in 1976.
That's solid.
Picardo was featured throughout Scad's 1976 breakthrough album, Silk Decrees, and his
future Toto bandmates, Patch and Homegate.
Lowdown was the biggest hit from the record, picking at number three on the Billboard Hot
100.
Hmm.
Okay.
That's a good song, man.
It is a good song.
Yeah, that's solid.
This one totally shocked me.
Okay.
1979, Pete Floyd's Mother.
Wow.
I had no idea.
Pink Floyd's drummer from the band's inception was Nick Mason.
But during the making of the band's classic,
1979 concept album, The Wall,
the call was brought in to play on the track Mother.
Wow.
Mason was having difficulty mastering the track's
difficult time signatures.
And since Pink Floyd was on a tight recording schedule,
the caro was hired to do the job.
Okay.
Didn't I know that?
I knew it.
There's some on here that, yeah.
This next one.
Michael Jackson's Beat It, 1982.
Wow, now that's a credit.
Michael Jackson's 1982 album, Thriller,
is one of the best selling albums of all time.
And the drumming on that is solid.
The drumming on that is solid too.
Anyhow, go ahead.
Yeah.
The caro and its total bandmates,
Posh, Lucifer, and Steve Pacaro,
all play on several of the record tracks.
Wow.
Okay.
Among the songs on which Pacaro's feature is beat it,
one of Jackson's most enduring hits,
the rocking tune, which famously features
a guitar solo by Eddie Van Halen.
Yep.
Uh, next.
Another 1982.
Don Henry, Dirty Laundry.
Oh wow.
Don Henry, Dirty Laundry.
I don't know if people realize this,
but Dirty Laundry was written about the media,
how they exploited or covered him.
I believe he was caught with underage girls
and a bunch of cocaine in a hotel room.
And he was very pissed off because the media
took it everywhere and spread it around, you know.
And I don't blame the media,
because I mean, if that did happen in fact,
that's wrong and it needed to be reported.
And he did a kind of, it was kind of like a hit piece song
on the media making fun of them.
You know, we can go ask the widow, is the head dead yet?
All the boys in the newsroom have a running bet.
You know, all this stuff that he says in the video,
they talk about it interesting when people die
so they can exploit it and all this stuff.
And it was written out of revenge.
So anyhow, but it's a great song.
Who would have known?
I said, who would have known that he had a part in all those?
Yeah, after the Eagles initial break up in 1980,
Don newly launched a successful solo career,
starting with his debut album, I Think Stand Still.
Great album.
The album included the hit Dirty Laundry,
which featured Pacaro providing a rock steady beat
to his Toto bandmates, Lucifer and brother Steve Pacaro,
also contributed to the tune.
Wow.
If anyone's interested in that Dirty Laundry song,
look up the lyrics.
The lyrics are quite funny and quite true in my opinion.
You know, like I was saying, you know,
boys in the newsroom got a running bet
and then he goes, get the widow on the set.
We love Dirty Laundry.
And-
Oh, I stare here on the radio.
It's still on the radio.
You know, we can do the operation, is he dead yet?
You know, all this stuff.
He's like, what he's doing is he's pointing out
the hypocrisy of media.
And he was right on back then in 1980.
I mean, he was dead on.
So, and I know it was a revenge thing
according to what I've known and read.
If I'm wrong, forgive me,
but I read it in a lot of different places.
And he was mad at the media for exploiting something
that he had done and he thought that they were excessive,
I guess.
So, I got another little story here
before we hang up on this.
I got one final- Oh, oh, oh, okay.
Sorry.
Yeah.
Bruce Springsteen, Human Touch.
Oh, wow.
Okay.
In 1992, Bruce Springsteen released two albums
simultaneously, Human Touch and Lucky Town.
The car of Blake drums on all of the songs on Human Touch.
Wow.
Okay.
I'm telling you, I did not know he was into all that.
That's, wow.
Okay.
I had no idea.
And this was just a list of five.
I'm gonna look into it and see what else is in it.
I'm sure there's other stuff too,
maybe not as well known,
but I'll bet you he is involved in projects
that brought young bands up too.
He sounds like a go-to guy.
You know what I mean?
Like if someone's producing a band
and they're not well known yet,
they would go to him to do a signature drum sound, maybe,
on a song.
You see what I'm saying?
And it sounds like he's known for bringing his brother in
too.
That's cool.
And some of the other Toto guys.
Well, they're obviously talented, so I get it.
Yeah, they are.
That's cool.
Wow.
That is a great article, Rob.
Very good.
Right, you enjoyed it.
Yeah.
American songwriter might be my favorite.
I think it is my favorite
because they always come up with stuff
that I had no idea about
and didn't know I was interested in until you tell me.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
So.
Okay.
Yeah, because not everybody was into Toto.
No, I liked them myself.
I know a lot of people thought they were a puss band.
They were too soft.
I thought they were great.
I'd love to go see it.
Me too.
I mean, they had a lot of really good songs.
You know, some of the most famous like Africa
and stuff like that,
but they had a little harder stuff before
they came out with that album.
Hold the line.
Come on.
Yeah, that's a great song.
And it's heavier.
It's much heavier.
So I think what happened is
is they established themselves as a heavy band.
Then they went more poppy
and people were like, oh, fuck him.
But actually their main success was the poppy ones.
Cause I mean, every hit radio station in America
played Africa four or five times
in a five hour period.
I mean, that's how hot that song was.
As you could listen to any hit radio station in America
and hear that song within an hour.
Okay.
When I think of it like this,
at that time Toto was going head to head
with groups like Duran Duran.
Yes.
So yeah, they had to step it up.
Yeah.
I mean, they had some really fierce competition
cause those bands were good.
They were really good.
I mean, you were like battling the police or sting.
You're battling Duran Duran.
I mean, there's, you know, Wham, George Michael.
I mean, you had all these artists out
that were very good and established.
So that's who they were fighting with
to try to get chart space.
So that's cool.
And they were an older band.
Yeah, that's right.
They weren't spring chickens when they went poppy.
But I'm like you.
I liked all their stuff.
I mean, I liked their heavier stuff
and I liked their lighter stuff.
Yeah.
They're a great band in my opinion too.
And very underrated.
Very underrated.
They're kind of like April Wine.
Well, this article right here proves it.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
You're right.
It shows their talent for one.
And number two, it shows the respect they've had
from other bands, big bands.
Like Michael Jackson, Pete Floyd.
That's a lot of respect to have those people,
that elk of bands and performers come to you
to make a song right.
Right.
So wow, that's very cool, man.
Thank you, Rob.
You're welcome.
I wanted to get to this here really quick
before this becomes outdated.
I've been trying to do this,
but we keep talking about other shit and get distracted
because that's what we do, right?
Well, all the time.
Especially last night.
Last night was awesome.
Last night was so cool, I broke it into two podcasts
because it was so good all the way through.
I'm like, man, I'm not wasting all this on one.
I'm gonna break it apart.
I'm gonna make people listen to some best of
after the rest of this brilliance.
We were over an hour and a half last night.
Yeah.
We just could not stop.
It was great.
I don't know what got into us,
but man, we were full of energy.
I had a very good time last night.
I did too.
We were laughing all the way through it.
I mean, it was fantastic.
Yeah, yeah.
I think everybody's gonna enjoy last night.
Yeah, I think so too.
I was like a proud papa listening to it today
going places in the Jeep.
Yeah, that's us.
Oh yeah.
Anyhow, I at least ought to get a free dinner
from Anthony's, don't you think?
Oh yeah.
I definitely believe so.
I think so.
I think when you come up, we just go in there and go,
we're two douchebags at a microphone.
Yeah, we gave you a very good critique.
Where's our lasagna?
That's your word.
We'll wear our shirts.
Oh yeah, yeah.
To prove we are two douchebags at a microphone.
That's right.
Yeah, we gotta prove it.
Yeah.
We'll wear our shirts.
That's right.
What could possibly go wrong with that, Rob?
Okay.
We pay for our own.
Okay.
Real quick here and then we'll get off here
because Rob asked to go to work in the morning
and I gotta go scratch my ass or something.
I don't know.
So as a part of downtown Detroit's makeover
ahead of the NFL draft,
city officials wanna make sure that bird poop
is not an issue for the hundreds of thousands
of visiting the Motor City in late April.
Yes, bird poop, along with everything else
that comes with the pesky birds.
To keep downtown clean,
Bedrock Detroit hired SIE Air Force falconry
and bird abatement to scare away any starlings
and pigeons with birds of prey that come after them.
What they do is they train these falcons
to go after the pain and ass birds, you know,
the ones that.
Yeah.
Like you know, pigeons shit on everything
and it's very unbecoming.
You got pigeon shit everywhere.
You got it all over cars.
You got it all over the I-beams underneath bridges.
They squawk.
They make very loud sounds.
And what these falcons are trained to do is,
and the guy that they had the article with,
he said, these birds always come back
because on their source of food.
He said they don't forget that.
So he has them trained to go after these birds
but not kill them or eat them, right?
After he shooes these birds off
and maybe peck at a couple
to make sure that they leave,
he comes back to the guy and he has trained falcons.
You know, you've seen that leather thing
on people's forearms that they come.
That's what he has.
Yeah, he has that leather deal and the falcon comes back.
And then he does a command and that falcon,
they showed it on TV
and I got this article off the internet,
but they showed it on TV
and these falcons go right for the pigeons
and the starlings and all those
and just goes right at him
and it scares the shit out of the birds.
And if he does that five or six times in a row,
the birds will disappear for a few weeks
and that's what they're trying to do
because the draft's coming up here in a few weeks
and they're keeping these birds busy,
you know, running off the pain in the ass birds.
So, yeah.
Yeah, I thought that was really interesting
that they do that.
That is a cool story.
That really is.
Yeah.
That's good thinking.
It is.
I mean, yeah, I love the thought
and they're not killing the birds either.
So these groups can't say, really say anything about it.
They can't say, well, you're killing these innocent birds.
They can't help it that you, you know,
they, you know, you have a draft there or something.
No, they're not killing them.
They're just running them off.
I could see after three or four times
this big ass, bad ass coming up to me.
My ass is getting the fuck out of there.
I ain't going back around there no more.
Me too.
You see a falcon's wingspan is almost like a bald eagle's.
Oh yeah, yeah, they're huge.
I was going down Lake of the Ozarks.
Some old friends of mine had a place there
and I was going down there and my GPS,
this is back when we had the Garmin's up on the,
you know, on the windshield.
And it took me a weird way.
It took me down this long winding highway as a shortcut.
And there was a bald eagle hatchery,
not very far from there.
You know, they have a bunch of them over in the,
that's over at Shawnee Bend.
Okay. All right.
I guess that's where it works.
There is, there is a,
we actually have a bald eagle day down here.
Oh wow, cool.
To where people, I mean, you could see the big nests
up in the trees.
Yeah.
And people get together, take pictures and celebrate.
Yeah.
Well, we've got them at the Blue River too.
They actually migrated up from Moorsaw
and they live there now too.
There's several nests along the Blue River.
Anyhow, the wingspan was so big, it covered my whole car.
I was like, well, what the hell was that?
Everything just went dark.
And then I look up there
and I see that bald eagle with that huge wingspan flying off.
I'm like, wow, these Falcons are very similar to that size.
Maybe not quite as big, but these are like,
to them it's like these fucking flying
brontosaurus is coming after them, right?
Yeah.
So these birds are like,
after they get a couple of scares like that,
they naturally don't come back for a while.
So anyhow, they're going to be doing this falconry
until people start arriving to Detroit for the draft,
like, I don't know, a week ahead of time.
Yeah, it'd be like Bruiser Road,
you're taking offense what I said about me
because you're a what?
I'm coming after my little ass.
There he is.
Is that that douchebag that said that shit about me?
St. Peter's like, yeah, yeah, come on, come on.
No, he's mine.
Bruiser, come on, man, just let him go.
He lets you go out of pity though.
He picks you up by your neck.
This would be me too, by the way.
Picks you up and goes, I'm going to destroy you.
And then he's like, no, I'm not.
I'm just going to let you go.
I heard he was a lovable guy.
That's what I heard too.
I heard he was.
And he got stabbed to death.
Was it Columbia or Brazil or something?
The guy that did it was from Columbia or Brazil.
Yeah, he was in his dressing room
and it was mistaken identity, I believe.
Yeah.
The drug dealer thought he was somebody else
or somebody said it was him and it wasn't
or something like that.
It was like mistaken identity.
He got stabbed to death in his dressing room.
Isn't that fucked up?
And he was a great guy.
How the hell do you mistake a man that size
to anybody else?
That's what I say.
I mean, I just don't get it.
It's like the guys in a dressing room
in where there's going to be wrestling.
Yeah, I'm thinking there was more
that they just not letting out.
And you're also talking about Columbia or Brazil
where nobody really has to say anything to you.
Right.
Here we have all these laws that ensure
that someone will have to say something.
Otherwise they'll go to jail for contempt, right?
There they don't have that.
So no one has to say anything.
They just be like, I don't know what happened, man.
I didn't even see the guy
and there's nothing going to be done.
Yeah.
And to my knowledge, they never did catch the guy who did it.
They think they know who did it, but they can't prove it.
So yeah, that was too bad.
Everybody said that they love working with the guy.
He was a great guy.
As a matter of fact, they have a picture
of Harley Race with Bruiser Brody
and a couple other wrestlers.
I think it might have been Ric Flair
and maybe even Hulk Hogan.
And they were all there.
Oh, and another thing, one of the guys
that narrates the Harley Race Dark Side of the Ring
is your man, Cactus Jack, Mankind.
Mick Foley.
Mick Foley, yes.
Yeah.
And he looks completely different.
Oh my God, he looks completely different.
Oh, he's old, man.
He's old, he's crippled.
Not almost crippled.
Shit, that guy is crippled, I bet, because-
I don't know how the hell he still walks.
I don't either.
I remember seeing him-
Well, he walks like a penguin, you know.
Yeah, he got thrown off the-
My opposite side, you know.
Remember the cage match where the cage is like 30 foot tall
and he got thrown on a table on a bunch of tacks.
That was him and the Undertaker.
The Undertaker, yeah, that's right.
And I was just so floored by that, I'm going,
what the fuck?
I know, I know this is scripted,
but how in the hell can that guy land on a table
on a bunch of tacks, 30 foot up in the air,
get back up and start fighting, bleeding everywhere,
these tacks stuck in him everywhere, and not even flinch?
That was the introduction to the attitude era.
Yes, I agree with that.
People like John Fina, the Rob,
Stone Cold Steve Austin, other things.
Yeah, you know, Stone Cold was a crack open to Steve Weiser.
Stone Cold was like, smell what the Rock is cooking.
I mean, they all had their own catchphrase
and they had their own persona.
Oh, and hey, New Splash,
Rock is going to be at WrestleMania defeating.
Yeah, I saw him the other day.
I'm starting to watch a little bit more wrestling
since you and I have been talking about it.
Yeah, he was in the back somewhere talking to someone
about something, I didn't really catch it all
because I was busy doing something else,
but I definitely saw him and he was there.
I have a busy weekend next weekend.
Oh, is there some specials coming?
WrestleMania is a two day thing next weekend.
Oh, good.
Well, I got a question for you, Rob.
Is it going to be so much to where we can do a one-off?
Well, I can have Saturday on Sunday
and Sunday the next day we broadcast.
It's well, they run in the evening.
Okay.
Well, we're broadcasting at that time
so I can't be watching it, you know what I mean?
Okay, well, the thing I'm getting at
is I want you to do it all in its entirety each day.
So if the podcast runs a little late,
it runs a little late, that's okay.
Oh, do what?
Okay, we try not to go over an hour, hour and 10 minutes,
right?
If there's so much that goes on, which I think there is,
if the podcast runs over, it just runs over, right?
Oh, okay, okay, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, that's why I say you can do a one-off,
but you know what, who cares, man?
Let's say it's an hour and a half.
We'll do it just like that if we have to, it's fine.
So anyhow, cool, I can't wait for that.
I want to see all the stuff that goes on.
But yeah, it's probably gonna be a two-day deal.
That's cool.
I'll do the one day and the next day another day.
Sounds great, dude.
That's up, yeah, because I just said
I can't be podcasting and watching that and reporting on
at the same time.
No, no, no, I understand that.
I'm good, I ain't that good.
Yeah, wow, I was listening to some old shows
and now, dude, you come a long way.
I'm trying, I'm trying, brother.
You're doing really good, brother.
All right, man, we're getting on an hour and 20 minutes,
so I think it's time for us to say later, bitches.
Again.
I know, but this has been a lot of fun, too, man.
It's getting to where you and I can,
we get some really good banner going on
and we just can't stop, I love it.
So anyhow, goodnight, assholes.
Goodnight, assholes.
Oh no, looks like the show's over, kids.
Mark has explosive diarrhea and can't afford a wireless mic.
Fear not, assholes, they'll be back
invading your ear holes soon.
