1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,000
And now it's time for...

2
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,000
The Daily Deucebag Pledge.

3
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:29,000
Here at Two Deucebags in a Microphone, we don't stand behind our journalistic integrity.

4
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:34,000
Go ahead and assume we got the story wrong. At least we admit it.

5
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:40,000
Not like all those other guys, we can and will lie if it makes the story better.

6
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,000
Two Deucebags and a Microphone.

7
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:47,000
We Talk.

8
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:51,000
Jesus.

9
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:58,000
And now, Deep Thoughts with Mark.

10
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:10,000
Hmm, let's see. If I identify as a dog and I start wandering around the block without a collar on, could Animal Control come by and pick me up?

11
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:14,000
Hmm. I may never know.

12
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:22,000
Have you ever wondered where something came about? Have you ever looked at something and said,

13
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:30,000
Hey, I wonder what the origin of that is? Well, so have we. That's why we give you The Origin of.

14
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:35,000
The Origin of? The Nose Ring. The Middle East is the birthplace of the nostril ring,

15
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:45,000
piercing, tracking back 4,000 years. Nostrils were held as a status of upper class if they were pierced with a ring.

16
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:52,000

19
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:17,000
Two douchebags and a microphone. I'm Mark.

20
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,000
And I am Rob.

21
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,000
Rob, good evening. How are you?

22
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:27,000
Doing alright, brother. Doing alright.

23
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:28,000
Good. You got to see your...

24
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:38,000
I like what's going on this weekend. Got to see my little man. Got to spend a little bit of time with him. That was nice.

25
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:48,000
That's really good. Cool. Very cool. Glad. When you sent me a message, I was like, Hell yeah. Go see your grandkid.

26
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:54,000
Well, my daughter needs to talk to Dad a little bit too.

27
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:58,000
Yeah, you know what, I'm glad you're able to be there for her.

28
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:03,000
She's going through a rough time and she can't talk to Dad.

29
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:13,000
She texted me and said, What are you doing? I said, Well, I'm getting ready to cook dinner and everything after a while.

30
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:17,000
And then I got a podcast. She goes, Well, I kind of want to come over.

31
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:22,000
I said, Come on over. I got this.

32
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:31,000
Yeah, absolutely. Family is always more important than a podcast. We love podcasts, but that's just the way it is.

33
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:37,000
And also, Topher and I have made up for the ones that have more than enough.

34
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:45,000
We're actually looking at having six podcasts a week now because Topher and I do about three hours, Tuesday or Wednesday of every week.

35
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:54,000
So we are going to rate the games that we called the week before and then make our predictions on the next weekend's games.

36
00:04:54,000 --> 00:05:00,000
So this is going to be a regular feature until the end of the NFL season.

37
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,000
We were going to include the Royals if they did good, but I don't know.

38
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,000
They're in the middle of a six game losing streak and they're losing right now.

39
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:12,000
So maybe we won't do that. Yeah, still two to nothing bottom to six.

40
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:17,000
The Royals are kind of falling apart at the seams. We'll see if they make the playoffs.

41
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:22,000
But I have an article about some stuff on the NFL a little bit later that we'll get to.

42
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:29,000
And this is something that I want a lot of input from you, Rob, because this is it's interesting what they want to do.

43
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:35,000
And we'll go into that probably next segment, you know, after your show, after your story.

44
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,000
OK, all right, we're going to start this off.

45
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:44,000
Luna is a new pet bot. It is described as a companion plus a task helper.

46
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:49,000
Luna looks like a cross between a dog and a cat, only robot.

47
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:54,000
Power Luna on. Yeah, she's really cool. You got to take a look at her.

48
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:58,000
Power Luna on and connect it to your smartphone.

49
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,000
With your phone, you can see first view of Luna's view.

50
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:08,000
Luna is going into the bathroom and all of a sudden you'll see like the crapper, you'll see the shower, but bathtub, you know,

51
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:15,000
if she's going in the bedroom, you'll see the bed, the dresser, you know, you'll see first view of what she's looking at, which is really cool.

52
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:21,000
You can wake Luna by saying hello, Luna. It will automatically recognize your voice.

53
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:28,000
Luna has a ball that is shipped with her. At that point, you can play fetch with the robot.

54
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:34,000
And also bullfight with a small towel. She runs through the towel bullfight style.

55
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:39,000
It's really cool, Rob. They're showing someone playing a bullfighter with her, right?

56
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:46,000
And they have that little, that little bitty towel, her size towel or him or, you know, Luna size, and she'll run through the towel.

57
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:52,000
It's it's pretty cool. So when you get a chance, look up Luna. It's spelled L-O-O.

58
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:59,000
I think I'm going to. Yeah, this is cool. I mean, she's like 500 bucks.

59
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:13,000
I want to compare how much she uses to recharge to compare that to what it would cost to feed a golden lap.

60
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:20,000
I bet you Luna is cheaper.

61
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:25,000
You can have her. It'd be a hell of a lot less hassle, I guarantee it.

62
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:31,000
Oh, hell yeah. I mean, I play with the golden lap. We play fetch, everything.

63
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:37,000
Luna won't mark her territory everywhere. Everything else is annoying.

64
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:44,000
We have dogs, I understand. Our little pug is the most defiant little bastard I've ever met in my life.

65
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:49,000
Good thing he's cute. Yeah, he's the only one I've met, my boss. He's as hard-hitting as I am.

66
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:57,000
Good thing that pug's cute. That's all I got to say. Otis is cute. That's all he's got going for him.

67
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:05,000
But it works. So Luna can also bullfight, like I said. You can have her follow you around the house.

68
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:13,000
Luna will fist bump you. The robot actually farts in the house, if you wish it to.

69
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:21,000
I bet Dunstink is bad. Oh, I hope not.

70
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:26,000
Oh my god. Dog farts are the worst. I'm sure there'd be different settings.

71
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:32,000
Probably. I'm just kind of getting the rough draft of this. I'm just bordering around the edges.

72
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:39,000
I know, I know. No, there's a lot more in this article, but you know what? I didn't want to spend three hours on it, so this is what we're getting.

73
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:47,000
If you want to know more, like we always say, Google it. Luna. L-O-O. I'm going to. I'm going to. I'm definitely interested.

74
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:53,000
Luna is designed to keep kids busy. You need to clean your house and the kids are going nuts.

75
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:57,000
You know, your children can actually do trivia with them.

76
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:03,000
Luna has many different trivia categories, like dinosaurs or animals.

77
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:09,000
Luna will high five a person for getting a trivia question right.

78
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:13,000
What? Isn't this cool? Yeah.

79
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:18,000
Luna can even laser point if you purchase that add-on.

80
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:26,000
One might wonder what one of these splendid little creatures will run you. Roughly around $500 with shipping.

81
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:30,000
I consider that not too bad.

82
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:35,000
I got my yearly bonus coming. Oh, there you go. Get a Luna.

83
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:40,000
And then put Luna in front of your golden lab and go, listen.

84
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:47,000
The least pain in the ass is staying.

85
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:55,000
Okay, so anyhow, going along. Recently it's been revealed in a book what Frank Sinatra's favorite cocktail was.

86
00:09:55,000 --> 00:10:02,000
It wasn't anything like they thought either, dude. You know, they're saying it was like, yeah, this is someone like new Frank really well.

87
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:07,000
And everybody thought it was like a two to one whiskey of some sort.

88
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:13,000
Like, you know, two fingers whiskey, one finger water, you know, neat, I think is what they call it.

89
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:18,000
And I forgot what kind of I think it was Jack. I think it was Jack neat. They thought was his drink.

90
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,000
The drink is not so popular anymore.

91
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:26,000
With most bartenders having to either Google it or ask what the patron what its ingredients is.

92
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:32,000
The two ingredient cocktail is easy to make and probably could get it from most well stocked bars.

93
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:38,000
The drink became famous when Old Blue Eyes would whip them up for friends in his dressing room.

94
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:43,000
To master the drink, what one will need are scotch and drum buoy.

95
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:51,000
Or drum. I think it's drum drum buoy mix a drum buoy with scotch and with ice and stir.

96
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:56,000
Make sure it's nice and cold before straining into the glass. You know how they do that.

97
00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:01,000
You put the they put it in with the ice and then you pour it over the ice.

98
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:07,000
And, you know, yeah. So into a glass over a big fancy ice cube.

99
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:13,000
It's been rumored that the drink got its name because the bartender would mix the drink with a big rusty nail.

100
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:19,000
The truth is probably the color of the drink, which highly resembles the color of a rusty nail.

101
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:24,000
Nobody seems to know for sure how the name came about, but it's probably one of those two things I would think.

102
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:29,000
I encourage you to turn some heads next time you're out, Rob. You know, or I will, too. I'm going to do this.

103
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:36,000
You think bars, you know, could carry ice cold night train, maybe?

104
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:42,000
No, no, probably not. They want their patrons to come back.

105
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:47,000
But still, my down here, you're allowed to bring your own bottle.

106
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:51,000
Oh, really? Oh, it's some places. Yeah.

107
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:57,000
They'll store it in the refrigerator for you. And when you want some, if it's cold, they'll say,

108
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:01,000
if it's cold, they'll tell you to start to store the night train out back.

109
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:06,000
Hey, put it back there. We don't want it to be other alcohol.

110
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:10,000
Yeah, we don't want nothing to do with that.

111
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:16,000
Yes. They're like, you see that way over there, that one tree way over there off of our property?

112
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:21,000
It goes under that. And that'd be about it.

113
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:28,000
Anyhow, Vince Neil and Motley Crue's favorite drink is rumored to be Crisco with tonic.

114
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:32,000
And next. Oh.

115
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:39,000
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, yeah. He is rather cumbersome. He is rather portly.

116
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:46,000
So yeah, yeah. Rob, are you a fan of gravy?

117
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:54,000
Yes. Cool, me too. I tend to enjoy white gravy more than brown. What about you?

118
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:58,000
Yeah, I'm definitely more of a white gravy than brown.

119
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:03,000
I'll take brown if that's all they have. But man, white gravy is just so much better.

120
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:08,000
And it depends. You know, if it's like roast beef, yeah, I can handle white gravy.

121
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:12,000
But if it's like a pork tenderloin or something.

122
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:19,000
No, no, no, you can't have. It would ruin the pork tenderloin if you have brown gravy on a pork tenderloin.

123
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:25,000
That would be number one. That would be sacrilegious. They wouldn't order that. If it's a real cafe, they would they'd tell you to go.

124
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:29,000
They'd be like, no, we're not doing this and you got to leave.

125
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:33,000
So well, brown gravy. It has a new use.

126
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:42,000
The UK has invented world gravy. The UK has invented world gravy wrestling championships.

127
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:54,000
Sounds good to me. The International. What? Awesome. Yeah, I mean, I think that's the best thing you can do with brown gravy besides, you know, pour it down the toilet.

128
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:58,000
I mean, so well, brown gravy. It has a new use.

129
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,000
The UK has invented the world gravy wrestling championships.

130
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:07,000
The international competition named one of the top 10 weirdest sports seas around the world.

131
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:16,000
It was I don't know who does this. Who does this thing of the top 10 sports seas? Well, whoever they are.

132
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:23,000
They they deemed it one of the weirdest sports. So, OK, 16 men and eight women.

133
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:28,000
I'm going to look it up. Please do. Not tonight, but I'm looking. Oh, my God, I got to watch.

134
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:33,000
So you got Luna and you got gravy, gravy wrestling. Yeah. Yeah.

135
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:48,000
OK, see 16 men and eight women battle around in about five hundred twenty eight gallons of gravy is used at the event, which is held annually at the Rosen Bowl Pub in Rosedale,

136
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:54,000
Lancashire, Rosedale, not Rosedale, Rosedale, Lancashire, which is England.

137
00:14:54,000 --> 00:15:04,000
The matches are two minutes long. They have judges. Contestants will keep battling until they lose or go all the way.

138
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:12,000
They have two winners, a male and a female. Each will receive sixty six dollars.

139
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,000
And an engraved trophy.

140
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:21,000
But it sounds to me that's like our version of mud wrestling.

141
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,000
It is good analogy, Rob. Yeah. Yeah.

142
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,000
They just they're they're like, we don't want mud over here.

143
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:31,000
Brown gravy. Yeah. Which is fine. I get it.

144
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:39,000
It would. Honestly, I think brown gravy would taste better than mud. Yeah. Yeah.

145
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:44,000
Yeah. No, no, no. I I'm on board with this. I'm on board with this.

146
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,000
Yeah. They want to replace mud wrestling.

147
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:52,000
I already wrote it down. That's getting looked up. Cool.

148
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:58,000
So anyhow, they received the sixty six dollars and an engraved trophy.

149
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,000
But how about a plate of Salisbury steak as well?

150
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:05,000
I think that would be the decent thing to do, don't you? Instead of wasting all that. Yeah.

151
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:09,000
You got the brown gravy. That's about the only thing brown gravy is good for.

152
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:15,000
Yeah. And like if the chick is hot, you could ask her if you could like wipe some brown gravy off of her and like eat your Salisbury steak.

153
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:19,000
Right. Yeah. Yeah.

154
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:24,000
And if she's not hot, you get the hell out of there and eat your brown gravy and Salisbury steak somewhere else.

155
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,000
Right. All right.

156
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:36,000
Rob, check this out. I would like a crushed Oreo wrestling championship.

157
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,000
That would be the best sport. Yeah. Yeah.

158
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:47,000
Crushed Oreo. Oh my gosh. Yeah. Yeah.

159
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:53,000
I mean, I mean, I might edit this out. Yeah, I may edit this out. That's a hell of an idea.

160
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,000
Yeah, I'd have to. Yeah. Yeah.

161
00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:00,000
I mean, and then you can even get crazy. You know, you can go like lemon meringue.

162
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:07,000
You go key lime. You could go Dutch chocolate. I mean, you go all different kinds of ways with it.

163
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,000
You know, you've got chocolate. There you go. Yeah. Yeah.

164
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:15,000
You can even go fudge during Christmas time, like maybe peppermint fudge.

165
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:21,000
Halloween, you could do pumpkin spice pudding.

166
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,000
I don't know.

167
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:29,000
A long time ago. I'm not joking you on this, Rob. I had a Halloween party.

168
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:34,000
I had a Halloween party. I used to rent the event center out in Cleveland, Missouri.

169
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,000
The little bitty thing is at the bottom of City Hall, the basement of City Hall.

170
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:43,000
And this is where people without basements in Cleveland could run to if there's an aider coming your way or something. Right.

171
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:54,000
So I ran out for like 30 bucks and I would have jello wrestling in those little blue pools they sell at Walmart.

172
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:59,000
Well, one night things got out of hand. I got like a $600 training.

173
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:09,000
Hey, yes. This this girl that I was kind of seeing at the time decided it would be cute to invite a bunch of homeless guys over with it

174
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:21,000
because she just thought they'd be fun to hang around with. And they stole all the food and it ended up in a large fucking fight, a jello fight.

175
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,000
And I spent like $600 having that damn place cleaned.

176
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:29,000
Needless to say, I didn't do any more of those parties and it was hell.

177
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:35,000
It was hell trying to get the homeless guy out. But the one thing I did that was funny is nobody knows this.

178
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:43,000
But you know how you bought the kegs, right? OK. And on the top it says Budweiser, Bush, whatever.

179
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:50,000
Well, I bought Milwaukee's best because it's like 20 bucks cheaper. I took it down there and I tore the top off.

180
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:56,000
I told everybody it was Budweiser or no, I think I told them it was Michelob and everybody was like, wow.

181
00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:00,000
And everyone's going, God, man, I'm glad you got Michelob. This sure tastes great.

182
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:04,000
And I said, they're thinking this works. The power of suggestion.

183
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:09,000
I told them it was Michelob and they all think it's the best beer they've ever had in years.

184
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:13,000
I know. And when they hear this, they're probably going to go, that motherfucker.

185
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:17,000
Well, you could you could have helped me run those homeless guys out. OK.

186
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:21,000
So you deserve that. Whoever you are that's listening to this and cursing me right now.

187
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:26,000
Yeah. So that's what you get. You get Milwaukee's best.

188
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:31,000
Instead of Michelob. But you're told it's Michelob and you believe it to this day.

189
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:37,000
Thirty some years later, now you find out if you listen, if you don't listen, you still think it's Michelob.

190
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:40,000
So anyhow, yeah, that was a big mess. It just it sucked ass.

191
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:44,000
Well, that long ago, they probably don't remember.

192
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,000
No, probably not. Hell, I was thinking I was listening.

193
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,000
I was listening to the other show, the show before last.

194
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:55,000
And I'd forgotten that I taught you to play Rocky like a hurricane.

195
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:59,000
And I forgot that I had a black bass and match my Charbel Jackson.

196
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:05,000
And I was like, wow. Yeah, I'm like, yeah, what else have I missed?

197
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:09,000
Yeah, I remember that left handed guitar. It was the only one that I could get.

198
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,000
And I was like, OK, well, I'm just going to play it Jimi Hendrix style.

199
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:17,000
And actually, I liked it better. I like the bass better upside down.

200
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:21,000
You have the you have the octave strings on the bottom.

201
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:29,000
Like a guitar is or I think that is the only reason the only way I learned how to play it.

202
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:33,000
Yeah, yeah, it was easy. Yeah, yeah.

203
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:37,000
Upside down. Yeah. Or the octave strings on the top, not the bottom.

204
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:42,000
Yeah. And it was pretty. Yeah. And it was easier for me and I guess you to play.

205
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,000
But I couldn't believe that I forgot all about that.

206
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,000
I'm like, wow. After you said that all said, I'm like, oh, yeah, yeah.

207
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:53,000
We used to go jam in in John's bedroom all the time. Remember? Yeah.

208
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,000
Yeah. Yeah. I forgot all about that shit.

209
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,000
So anyhow, I wonder what I was thinking, man.

210
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:02,000
I wonder what else, you know, people come up to me that I haven't seen a long time.

211
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:07,000
I'm going, hey, you remember when we did this and I have to go, oh, yeah, yeah. But I don't.

212
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:11,000
I mean, yeah, it just amazes me sometimes.

213
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:15,000
I'm like, how in the world? But I mean, I guess you can't remember everything.

214
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,000
And if you could, you'd have a photographic memory and be a genius.

215
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:22,000
So anyhow, so that is the end of the first third.

216
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:31,000
So we turn to you, Rob, like always, to tell us what you think we need to hear.

217
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:41,000
Well, one of the most recognizable parts of the Titanic has fallen off after more than a century at the ocean floor.

218
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:55,000
OK. The story of the ship's historic wreck was immortalized by James Cameron's eponymous 1997 movie.

219
00:21:55,000 --> 00:22:02,000
One of the film's best known scenes appears early on when Jack, played by Leonardo DiCaprio,

220
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:08,000
raises Rose, played by Kate Winslet, if you didn't know that.

221
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:11,000
I think everybody knew that.

222
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:18,000
Yeah. Into the air as they stand at the very front of the ocean liner.

223
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:28,000
I'm flying, Rose says, as she spreads her arms. But an uncrewed dive to the wreck this summer

224
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:34,000
reveals that a segment of that very part of the ship has fallen apart.

225
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:39,000
MDR report on Monday.

226
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:48,000
We discovered when we reached the wreck last month that the port side railing has fallen off.

227
00:22:48,000 --> 00:23:01,000
James Inca, a researcher from RMS Titanic, Inc., which has sold salvage rights over the Titanic remains.

228
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:06,000
Hey, Rob, you know what's cool, though? They don't need the railing anymore.

229
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:07,000
No, they don't.

230
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:12,000
Yeah, so it's okay. Anyhow, go ahead.

231
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:18,000
This is a very natural thing. Different parts of the railing are getting weaker.

232
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:28,000
But for such a high profile and highly photographed and iconic railing to now be resting on the ocean floor below,

233
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:36,000
it's a significant change. Titanic will literally never look the same.

234
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:40,000
Okay. All right, now I get that.

235
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:44,000
Yeah.

236
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:53,000
Well, I mean, they haven't really figured out a way to get that up, right, from the bottom of the ocean?

237
00:23:53,000 --> 00:24:00,000
No, no. They're still researching. And come find out, this is the only team that can touch it.

238
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,000
Yeah, that's what I thought. So, I mean...

239
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:06,000
And they're called RMS Titanic, Inc.

240
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:07,000
Yeah.

241
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,000
Sold salvage rights.

242
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:16,000
Yeah, it's going to fall apart. I mean, they're not going to be able to get much of that up there.

243
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:26,000
So, I mean, it is what it is. I mean, I know it's history and everything, but I mean, you know...

244
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,000
And it's been more than 100 years.

245
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:33,000
I know. It holding up that long speaks volumes.

246
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,000
It's time. It's time.

247
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:42,000
Yeah. I mean, the whole reason the whole thing went down was from this show that I watched,

248
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:45,000
I think it's on the History Channel or something like that.

249
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:55,000
They went through what happened. And what happened is the company should have used bigger rivets to keep the steel together.

250
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,000
And they cheaped out and used smaller rivets.

251
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:04,000
If they used the bigger rivets that were gauged for that much pressure, it would never have broke a hole in it.

252
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:09,000
But because they cheaped out on the rivets, it tore a hole in it and the rest is history.

253
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:18,000
So, they cheaped out and it cost everybody their life and the big Titanic down the drain. So, wow.

254
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,000
I bet you that bean counter is really fucking happy.

255
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,000
Well, he's no longer around.

256
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:26,000
I bet that never seemed a court one either, did it?

257
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:30,000
No, no, because I think they found all this stuff out afterwards anyhow.

258
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:35,000
But yeah, I mean, yeah, that guy should have been tried and hung.

259
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,000
That's anyhow, whoever came up with that idea.

260
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:44,000
So, you know, it had to been someone that said, hey, we can save a couple of bucks if we do this.

261
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,000
You know, it happens all the time.

262
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:53,000
It's just like, you know, when companies figure out, well, our pharmaceutical is going to kill this many people,

263
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:58,000
but it's going to make us this much money, this much, this how much we're going to lose in lawsuits.

264
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,000
So, we're going to go ahead and do it because we're going to double our money.

265
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:06,000
So, you know, it's that kind of a world and even was back then.

266
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:14,000
Before we go to break, I've been I've been telling everybody I've been having this little segment, right, and about phrases.

267
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:19,000
OK, you've heard the phrase dead to rights, right?

268
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:20,000
Yeah.

269
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,000
OK, it's used quite a bit still.

270
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:25,000
Have you ever wondered where it came from?

271
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:26,000
Yeah, I have.

272
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:27,000
OK.

273
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,000
Do you know where it came from or not?

274
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,000
No, I do not.

275
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:32,000
OK.

276
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:33,000
OK.

277
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:39,000
The phrase dead to rights is believed to have originated among criminals in New York City.

278
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:49,000
The word dead has been used from the 16th century with a meaning certainly completely utterly to rights has been used

279
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:56,000
since the 14th century to mean in a proper manner with everything required detail.

280
00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:04,000
Correct means that they have them dead to rights according to both phrases and what they meant.

281
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,000
So it was different than what I thought.

282
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,000
I thought it was an aim thing.

283
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:12,000
You know how they say aim dead to right?

284
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,000
It's not a name thing at all.

285
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:21,000
It came from too certain, you know, means they got them right there, they got them in the corner, they got it covered.

286
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,000
So interesting.

287
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:27,000
Let's take our first break and then I've got a segment.

288
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,000
Well, we'll go and have you do a segment first, OK?

289
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:34,000
Then I got a segment that might require a little bit of time that we'll go into.

290
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,000
Does that sound good?

291
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,000
Yeah, mine's going to take a little bit too.

292
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:43,000
You'll actually need me to jump to something else a little quicker.

293
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,000
OK, let's do that.

294
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:49,000
OK, well, and then we'll go to mine and then we can do the Kiss albums.

295
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,000
That's not going to take long.

296
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,000
And then we can go to yours.

297
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,000
And then that might be the end of the show.

298
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,000
While we're on break, I'll find a time to quit.

299
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,000
OK, that'll work.

300
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,000
Hi, all.

301
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,000
This is Chicago.

302
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:08,000
I am the most dangerous city in North America.

303
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:13,000
You can't touch me.

304
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,000
Oh, yeah? This is Kansas City here.

305
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,000
Hold my beard, bitch.

306
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,000
Hey there, fuckstick.

307
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:22,000
You're just in time for brand new feature news nobody gives a shit about.

308
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,000
Punxsutawney fills.

309
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:28,000
Babies are named Shadow and Sonny.

310
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:34,000
Hey, St. Louis, the other side of our glorious state.

311
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:37,000
Thank you for listening to Deuce Bag's microphone.

312
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,000
We salute you.

313
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,000
Love you guys.

314
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:46,000
Our constant pursuit for a real knee-slapper.

315
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:49,000
It's strange insults from an alien.

316
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,000
Real hilarity.

317
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:54,000
What kind of look you're aiming for.

318
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,000
You missed.

319
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,000
You watched the news.

320
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,000
It looks grim.

321
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,000
Is this an apocalypse inevitable?

322
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:06,000
We suggest you download all our podcasts beforehand

323
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,000
and have multiple mobile chargers.

324
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:12,000
We have the most of the most of the most.

325
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:17,000
Make sure and have plenty of rope.

326
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:23,000
Strong, threaded, durable rope with a rating of 400 pounds or greater.

327
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:27,000
You need to know basic knots so you can go to the library

328
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,000
and download the Boy Scouts Handbook

329
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:34,000
and have a reference to slip knots and other essential rope tricks.

330
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:38,000
Rope can be used in traps to catch food or would-be predators.

331
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:43,000
Rope is a key ingredient in post-apocalypse survival.

332
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:48,000
Two Deuce Bags and microphone in an effort to keep everything fresh.

333
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:53,000
We offer you first world problems.

334
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:56,000
That's a hell of a bridge construction.

335
00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:01,000
Shit, I cannot believe I have to repair this bridge after 50 years.

336
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:06,000
Man, what am I going to do now? I can't like that 10 minutes earlier just to get to work.

337
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:10,000
This is complete bullshit. I'm going to write my congressman.

338
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:14,000
Our constant pursuit for a real knee slapper.

339
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,000
It's strange insults from an alien.

340
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,000
Real hilarity.

341
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:32,000
Your IQ isn't even room temperature.

342
00:30:48,000 --> 00:31:03,000
Two Deuce Bags and a microphone on Mark.

343
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,000
And I'm Rob.

344
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,000
Rob, did you find something a little smaller?

345
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:08,000
Yes, I did.

346
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:09,000
Okay.

347
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:12,000
Yes, I did. Yeah, I did.

348
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:25,000
Ted Nugent recently discussed if a damn Yankees reunion was possible decades after their breakup in an interview with Chuck Schuette.

349
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:35,000
We'd love to get back together, but we're very proud of the music we created, the singer said, of the band's music in the early 90s.

350
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:44,000
Killer quality, soulful, energized, tight, authoritative, damn Yankees music. I love those guys.

351
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:58,000
It's not off the table, he continued, about a reunion, but explained, it's highly unlikely, but it's also highly desirable.

352
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:15,000
So it would have to be an alignment of the planets, where the four of us, we have just manic schedules, that somehow we could find a, oh, whatever amount of time, 30 days or whatever.

353
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:18,000
I'd love to do it.

354
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:32,000
Nugent formed Damn Yankees with Tommy Shaw, Jack Blades of Night Ranger, and Michael Cort Leon, who later joined Lettersgiver in 1989.

355
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:37,000
I didn't know that. Okay.

356
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:41,000
That's cool. I thought they were good. I liked them.

357
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:45,000
Oh yeah, I liked them too. Yeah.

358
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:49,000
Cool. I mean, that'd be great if they were reunited.

359
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:53,000
Yeah, they just took all that and mixed it together, you know.

360
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,000
Yeah, and it worked out very well.

361
00:32:55,000 --> 00:33:01,000
Tommy Shaw, Ted Nugent, and then you throw in Night Ranger.

362
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:10,000
Yeah, and I thought that was an interesting combination, Tommy Shaw and Ted Nugent. I mean, that was interesting, but it worked out well.

363
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:15,000
I think it worked beautifully, myself.

364
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:18,000
I did too. I did too.

365
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:25,000
Okay, we're going to go into this here, but first I want to say something.

366
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:37,000
Okay, I've had a lot of people email me over the last couple of years, and here lately there have been a few that emailed me that pretty much said the same thing.

367
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:43,000
They liked the analysis that Topher and I used to do down at the City Market, right?

368
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:47,000
And we'd have people join in, there'd be all kinds of fans and stuff.

369
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:51,000
So anyhow, they liked the way that we'd done our sports shows.

370
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:57,000
So we just did the AFC preview and who we think is going to win what and all that.

371
00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:07,000
So what I'd like to announce here is I've got the first episode that we're doing three hours every Tuesday and Wednesday. I'm breaking them up into two shows, an hour and a half each.

372
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:15,000
And this is to go over our picks and see who did the best on the picks of that week.

373
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:20,000
And then also predict the week coming up who we think is going to win.

374
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:27,000
And this is like we did last year, and Topher feels like doing this, and so do I.

375
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:32,000
This program right here, Two Douchebags and a Microphone, is going to stay just like it is.

376
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:36,000
Rob and I are going to keep up our shenanigans and all that.

377
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:44,000
But we're going to have the sports show once a week that's probably going to be released like Tuesday and Thursday or something like that.

378
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:50,000
The days that we don't have one of these shows coming out, I will try and release it that day.

379
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:55,000
So instead of having four shows a week, we're going to have like six shows a week.

380
00:34:55,000 --> 00:35:02,000
So anyhow, we did the first day of C picks. We loved that. I listened to it. I thought it was excellent.

381
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,000
Have you heard it, Rob?

382
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,000
Yeah, yeah, I've listened to all of them.

383
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:09,000
All right. What did you think? Did you like it?

384
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,000
Yeah, I liked it.

385
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:16,000
And that's like me and you talked about before we went on air.

386
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:26,000
I appreciate Topher doing this with you because I don't get that much time for the NFL.

387
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:30,000
I follow the Chiefs. I follow a couple others. That's about it.

388
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:34,000
You guys will go a lot deeper than I could.

389
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:39,000
And I think that it's only going to make this show grow.

390
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:45,000
Exactly. And I've had enough people interested in a sports show with Topher.

391
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:50,000
Well, now it's going to happen. And listen, I mean, I appreciate people chiming in and telling me that.

392
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:55,000
But the whole reason it's happening is because Topher and I feel like doing it.

393
00:35:55,000 --> 00:36:01,000
I mean, you know, it's just another thing that we want to do to bring to people and we want, you know, so.

394
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:05,000
And we still have our dumbass shit.

395
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:06,000
Yeah.

396
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:10,000
So, yeah, it's a win win.

397
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:22,000
I will try to let everybody know the week before, whether it's going to be Tuesday or Wednesday, we'll be down at the city market about, I don't know, about nine thirty nine forty five.

398
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:27,000
You want to come by and talk. There we are. You want to talk football. There we are. You want to tell us we suck.

399
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:30,000
There we are. You want to crack us in the nuts. We'll probably hit you.

400
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:37,000
So anyhow, here is what I want to go into.

401
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:43,000
The NFL is looking at starting NFL season on Labor Day weekend.

402
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:51,000
They might and probably will take away the third preseason game and making it.

403
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:59,000
Oh, go ahead. And making it a 19 game regular season. So there you go. Go ahead now.

404
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:05,000
That would be stupid as hell.

405
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:08,000
That's what I thought at first.

406
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:13,000
But I'm going to go into some stuff. You got a lot of people party. OK.

407
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:19,000
Yeah, you got a lot of people party. But you come down here to the lake.

408
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:22,000
You're going to be partying on water.

409
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:34,000
You know, football is going to be a laughing stock in your mind. I don't think it would get the credit.

410
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:42,000
Rob, that's no, I love that. And you might very well be right.

411
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:46,000
Yeah, yeah, I hear what you're saying.

412
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,000
I thought that at first, too.

413
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:54,000
But then I got to think about it more as I read this article, but just let me go into it a little bit more.

414
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:57,000
And it changed my mind when I read a little bit more.

415
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:02,000
Training camps could start right after the NBA championship in mid-June.

416
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:10,000
Because if we're going to have a game over Labor Day, the training camps open up the 1st of July.

417
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:17,000
You move that back a week or 10 days and you're right after the NBA championship.

418
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:25,000
So, you see, I think I see what they're doing on several levels.

419
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:29,000
So after the NBA end-to-end, here it comes.

420
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:31,000
Yeah, here it comes.

421
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,000
To catch your attention.

422
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,000
Yes, and you have baseball over there in the background.

423
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:38,000
That way we don't have that waiting period.

424
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:41,000
Uh-huh. Yes. You see?

425
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,000
I kind of see where you're going here.

426
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:49,000
I just said I don't think the viewership would be that great on Labor Day weekend.

427
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:51,000
Well, I thought about that.

428
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:53,000
It might be. It might be.

429
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,000
I thought about that. I thought about that, Rob.

430
00:38:55,000 --> 00:39:01,000
But, okay, will this hurt baseball in smaller markets?

431
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:11,000
Teams that are poor, aka small markets, that are 12 games back like a Cincinnati or a Kansas City or even a Pittsburgh.

432
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:15,000
Now, you bring football right after the NBA championship.

433
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:21,000
You know, I mean, all of a sudden you're taking up more.

434
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:26,000
Yeah, now in New York, L.A., you know, not Chicago.

435
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:37,000
But the larger markets, Atlanta, they are going to still be strong because their teams are traditionally good because they have more revenue.

436
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:43,000
Because baseball, to me, is run like shit.

437
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:48,000
And they cannot come up with a good salary cap like football did.

438
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:53,000
So the smaller teams are basically non-competitive most of the time.

439
00:39:53,000 --> 00:40:02,000
So you take these smaller markets like Cincinnati, like Kansas City, like Pittsburgh.

440
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:08,000
Let me think of another smaller market that has a baseball team.

441
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:16,000
Anyhow, okay, all of these smaller markets that have baseball teams probably aren't doing that well.

442
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:19,000
Then all of a sudden their football team comes in like Kansas City.

443
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:21,000
The Royals are, I don't know, 20 games back.

444
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:27,000
They're like their usual, not that good because of the logistics and the way the cap and all that is.

445
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:29,000
Okay, now what do you think is going to happen?

446
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:39,000
The Royals are still in the battle for, they are in the lead for the final wild card to an half game lead right now, even though they're losing like shit right now.

447
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:40,000
They look like shit.

448
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:43,000
And they may lose their way out of the playoffs.

449
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:44,000
Who knows?

450
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:49,000
But anyhow, right now, they are in the middle of a playoff hunt.

451
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:59,000
And whenever the news comes on and the sports section comes on, the Chiefs haven't even played a regular season game yet.

452
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:02,000
And the Chiefs are number one.

453
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:05,000
And then they'll go to the Royals.

454
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:06,000
And sometimes it depends.

455
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:13,000
If there's female soccer, the current, sometimes they'll take second place.

456
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:20,000
You know, sometimes the men's league soccer, you know, sporting Kansas City will also take the second spot.

457
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:23,000
And baseball will take the third spot.

458
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:29,000
So, and this is Kansas City actually being in a playoff position this year.

459
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:30,000
They've been doing good.

460
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:34,000
They got young guys like Whit that are just Whit Jr., Bobby Whit Jr.

461
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:37,000
That's just knocking the cover off the baseball.

462
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:39,000
They have some younger pitchers that look good.

463
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:45,000
And still, they're second bill and sometimes third bill in the sports scene here.

464
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:54,000
So, I love the idea personally, you know, family camping, get out your phone, grab an old fashioned AM radio.

465
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:55,000
You know, you grilling?

466
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:57,000
Your team's playing Sunday night.

467
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:58,000
There you go.

468
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:01,000
This is perfect for NFL fans.

469
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:09,000
You know, once NFL laps everybody, this is the best run league.

470
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:13,000
I mean, the NFL has lapped everybody again with this idea.

471
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:24,000
The only downfall is when you have these players playing 18 four-wheel games, what do you think is going to happen, Rob?

472
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:26,000
Injuries.

473
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:30,000
Yeah, yeah, the injuries are going to start racking up.

474
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:31,000
You're going to see a lot more of them.

475
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:33,000
They already do end of the season now.

476
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:34,000
Yeah, yeah.

477
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:39,000
I mean, last year, A-Rodge went down, you know, in the second play.

478
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:42,000
I mean, the second set of plays of the new season.

479
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:43,000
Yeah.

480
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:44,000
Okay.

481
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:51,000
They are already key injuries that just screw people, you know, screw teams out of playoff spots and all that.

482
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:54,000
Cincinnati, Joey Burrow, you know.

483
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:56,000
There's other ones too.

484
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:57,000
There's great examples.

485
00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:58,000
Cleveland got over.

486
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:02,000
Joey Flacco came in and did really good when Deshaun Watson went out.

487
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:10,000
But this is going to be more of an unpredictable game because there's going to be more and more injuries.

488
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:13,000
Let's say we're doing our first game and Chris Jones goes down.

489
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:17,000
Our whole season isn't going to be the same.

490
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:25,000
Definitely, if Mahomes goes out, Kelsey goes out, Worthy or Rice goes out, you know what I mean?

491
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:34,000
Some of these Pacheco going out, all of these are going to add to an unpredictability of the season.

492
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:38,000
And I'm wondering if that's not some of what they're thinking about right there.

493
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:44,000
They're like, hey, man, this is going to be more of a toss up instead of the usual suspects.

494
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:45,000
For years, it was the Patriots.

495
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:47,000
Now it's the Chiefs.

496
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:48,000
You see what I'm saying, Rob?

497
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:54,000
What do you think about that?

498
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:58,000
I really don't know what to think about it.

499
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:00,000
Well, at first I had your thought.

500
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:01,000
I didn't like it.

501
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:03,000
I agree.

502
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:07,000
I do not like the same team winning all the time.

503
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:09,000
Unless the Chiefs.

504
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:10,000
Well, yeah, no, no, no.

505
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:11,000
That's what I'm saying.

506
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:12,000
I used to hate the Patriots.

507
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:16,000
Yeah, yeah.

508
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:22,000
You know, yeah, things should be shaken up over now and then.

509
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:24,000
Just say it.

510
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:25,000
Yeah.

511
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:30,000
And then the NFL is run so superior.

512
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:36,000
The season opener is a standalone Thursday night game.

513
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:44,000
The Super Bowl winner at home to one of the team's biggest rivals or threats.

514
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:47,000
It's genius how it works, too.

515
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:56,000
You have one of the top tier teams, they come home with an 0-1-1 and then the other team, top contending team, gets a head start.

516
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:57,000
One to nothing.

517
00:44:57,000 --> 00:45:00,000
So automatically your whole season.

518
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:03,000
Teams that would be playing each other in the playoffs.

519
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:04,000
Exactly.

520
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:09,000
And maybe the pecking order is because of that one game.

521
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:20,000
So if you lost that game and then later on in the season, you're one game behind or tied with that team for the best record, they win because they beat you head on.

522
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:22,000
So already that's an important game.

523
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:26,000
You really got to be fussing your caps the rest of the season.

524
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:38,000
Yeah, it's already that one game at the first of the season could make complications for you that you couldn't overcome later on in the season, which is brilliant.

525
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:41,000
It's genius.

526
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:50,000
You know, I mean, once again, the fall classic has been outshined by rival games being played already with playoff implications.

527
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:56,000
So like, you know, the Super Bowl is going on or not the Super Bowl, the World Series going on.

528
00:45:56,000 --> 00:46:02,000
But more than half the people who would normally be watching it are watching football.

529
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:08,000
Because the new format that they're doing is they're having more games on different days.

530
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:13,000
So yeah, right now, it's going to take out baseball in the long run.

531
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:15,000
I could see that. Yeah, I could, too.

532
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:21,000
So OK, so the Labor Day weekend, here's the here's the format they're suggesting.

533
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:31,000
There's going to be a standalone game Friday night, standalone game Saturday night, standalone game Sunday night, standalone game Monday night.

534
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:38,000
And then you go into Thursday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday.

535
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:45,000
So you see, they're having all these days covered with different premier football games.

536
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:54,000
Yeah. You know, and I almost bet they'll be on different streaming services also.

537
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:58,000
That's the other thing. And I fucking hate. Yeah.

538
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:01,000
Yeah, it's a big money grab. I know this. I know this.

539
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:05,000
But you know what? At least the NFL has the product.

540
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:12,000
Why would I pay for baseball? Watch big markets kick our ass?

541
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:20,000
No. Right. So but the reason I pay for football is because it's an evener, more even playing field.

542
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:24,000
So anyhow, I had more to go into.

543
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:33,000
But you know what? We covered enough on that. I don't want to do this whole program about NFL because we do have a sports show we do twice a week.

544
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:41,000
So anyhow, I just wanted to bring that up and I'm going to bring it up with Topher on not these two that I'm getting ready to give you.

545
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:50,000
But next week, I'm going to bring that same talk topic up to Topher with the same story and see what he thinks.

546
00:47:50,000 --> 00:48:02,000
So now he'll feel like I said, I I'm like you might get to catch the cheese game alone in the other game.

547
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:05,000
You know, oh, yeah. Oh, that's cool.

548
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:10,000
This is read about. Read about him later.

549
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:13,000
This will work out well. This will work out well.

550
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:16,000
Yeah, I think I will. I think I will.

551
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:25,000
So did you want to go into the Kiss solo albums from 1977 or do you want to do your big 78?

552
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:31,000
78. Or did you want to do the thank you?

553
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:34,000
Yeah, no, let's go ahead and get out of the way.

554
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:43,000
OK. All right. Well, Tulsa King, aka Ron from Tulsa, has sent us another.

555
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:44,000
Ronnie.

556
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:50,000
Ronnie. Sorry, Ronnie from Tulsa has sent us another great question.

557
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:57,000
And in 1978, Kiss was still together, but they all decided to do their own solo album.

558
00:48:57,000 --> 00:49:00,000
And they and then they're going to get back.

559
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:06,000
You know, they were together the whole time, but they all released their own solo album at the same time on the same day.

560
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:17,000
Yes. Everybody has their favorite to least favorite and Ronnie from Tulsa King wanted us to, you know,

561
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:24,000
describe what what when we like the best all the way down to the least and maybe a little description of why.

562
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:28,000
So, Rob, we're going to start with you.

563
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:36,000
OK, well, there you know, and I, we we heard them.

564
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:42,000
Yeah, you know, a lot of people heard these when you were young and when you were first coming into kids,

565
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:49,000
they were just, you know, these albums were just coming out or just came out and.

566
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:56,000
Everybody with them wear makeup, everybody was learning the characters and so it was spinning.

567
00:49:56,000 --> 00:50:01,000
And when they came out, there was rumors.

568
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:07,000
Of why they did this.

569
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:19,000
And a lot of people, you know, back in the day, a lot of speculation was is that it was because Jean and Paul ran the show.

570
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:28,000
So they did this to get Peter and Ace to creativity, which comes to find out was correct.

571
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:35,000
That is why they did these.

572
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:41,000
So going into this. My last place.

573
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:49,000
Goes to Peter Chris. OK.

574
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:53,000
He was already looking at it now, the band.

575
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:57,000
That's why they did this.

576
00:50:57,000 --> 00:51:04,000
And I just don't think he I don't think he'd give it his best.

577
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:14,000
I don't. I think he could have done so much better with his creativity and everything.

578
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:24,000
But I think at this point, he was already fed up, so he really didn't even try, you know.

579
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:30,000
He just threw some stuff out there and called it good.

580
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:38,000
My number three is going to Gene Simmons.

581
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:47,000
You know, he is one of the founders, but he is he is one of the vocalists.

582
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:51,000
You know, he's like number two vocalist.

583
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:55,000
But he's a bass player.

584
00:51:55,000 --> 00:52:03,000
And he did his songs, but most of the songs were Paul.

585
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:10,000
So and I think it showed through these albums.

586
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:14,000
OK, which brings us to number two.

587
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:20,000
Paul.

588
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:27,000
You know, Paul pretty much ran the show, you know, he was the face of kiss.

589
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:36,000
For the biggest part, he was a main vocalist for years, almost many other songs.

590
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:43,000
Well, 90 percent will say. Yeah.

591
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:49,000
Which leads us to number one, Ace.

592
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:52,000
He's just an amazing guitarist.

593
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:59,000
And he I think he was at the same point Peter was.

594
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:03,000
They were both looking to get out of the band or ready.

595
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:07,000
You know, they're thinking about their options, whatever.

596
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:11,000
Yeah. And.

597
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:14,000
But I think any.

598
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:28,000
Did what he said up there, he showed his creativity and after shortly after he left the band and he put out some amazing stuff.

599
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:33,000
So it was after that.

600
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:35,000
There's my bitch.

601
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:40,000
I love it. Mine's slightly different, but not much.

602
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:45,000
Number four is Peter Chris.

603
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:50,000
I have a different take on why his album wasn't as good.

604
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:53,000
He's a jazz drummer.

605
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:57,000
Yeah, his heart may not have been in the band as much.

606
00:53:57,000 --> 00:54:02,000
He like different he like swing and big band music.

607
00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:06,000
He didn't really care for rock that much.

608
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:19,000
He produced an album that very much was dabbling into the big band swing type of music, which it didn't jive with the Kiss fans.

609
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:23,000
Kiss fans didn't like that type of music, although I do.

610
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:27,000
And I think you do, too, Rob. Don't you like big band swing music or not?

611
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:31,000
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's great. It's fantastic music.

612
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:36,000
Three cats are pretty cool. Yeah, yeah. And yeah, there's other ones that are fantastic.

613
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:38,000
More just three cats. Yeah, the old.

614
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:40,000
No, no, no. Yeah, I agree. I agree.

615
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:48,000
So most rock fans were teenagers that never really heard of any other music.

616
00:54:48,000 --> 00:55:00,000
And they clung to Kiss because they have four identical faces, recognizable faces and very interesting Kabuki style makeup faces with all these theatrics and fireworks.

617
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:08,000
So when Peter Chris put out that kind of a jazzy type of big band swing album, it didn't go over.

618
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:12,000
The typical Kiss fan thought it was horrible.

619
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:21,000
Now, someone else like jazz or maybe swing music a little bit more than they might have liked Peter Chris's music if they'd heard it.

620
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:25,000
So that's number four. And also, I think you're also right.

621
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:29,000
There's some of him not really wanting to be in the band anymore, too.

622
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:38,000
So my number three is Paul Stanley. Paul Stanley. Paul Stanley is great.

623
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:50,000
I love his music, but his his taste and what he done on the solo album did not really catch me as much as it could have.

624
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:56,000
I think he was still developing his style. He was still figuring out who he was.

625
00:55:56,000 --> 00:56:03,000
It was a good album, but he was still kind of questionable on what type of music he wanted to put out.

626
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:10,000
And to me, it kind of showed it on the album. It was kind of indecisive to me.

627
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:23,000
It was good. Yeah, but it could have been much better if he had a little bit more defined of what he was or what kind of musician he wanted to do, what type of music he wanted to do on his own.

628
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:30,000
I mean, now you hear him and he's like doing Motown stuff. It's kind of a regular band, kind of not.

629
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:40,000
He'll just show up somewhere and play. So obviously he had different influences, a lot different influences besides, like, let's say, Alice Cooper because of the makeup or whatever.

630
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:49,000
Or Mata Hoopla or whatever. So his roots, I think, went into Motown and a lot of harmonic stuff.

631
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:56,000
Nothing wrong with it. Great. But once again, I think it did not parlay with a typical Kiss fan.

632
00:56:56,000 --> 00:57:03,000
My second one was Gene Simmons. Gene Simmons knew what he wanted to produce. He knew what he wanted to put out. And he did it excellent to me.

633
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:12,000
I mean, Ace Freelies just happened to be better. So he came out with like Radioactive, Burning Up with Fever. He had Donna Summer on there. He had Cher on there.

634
00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:24,000
He had a bunch of cast of people that were on that that contributed to it. The writers. I think he had Desmond Child writing some.

635
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:32,000
He had some other writers, I can't think. He went all out and he did the album he wanted to and it was very good. It was scary. It was melodic.

636
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:41,000
It was mellow. It was from the heart. It was good. He did Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star because he always wanted to do it.

637
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:47,000
He put that put it on that album. I don't know how good it is, but he always wanted to do it and he did it.

638
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:55,000
And I liked it because that album was an open book as to how he felt musically and I thought he portrayed it excellent. So he's number two.

639
00:57:55,000 --> 00:58:12,000
Number one, Ace Freelie. Ace Freelie is he's raw, has power, is absurd, is acquisitive. I mean, his music is excellent.

640
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:25,000
He writes great songs. His guitar does such good hooks. I love the way he plays with Paul Stanley, but he could play with Anton Figg on drums.

641
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:31,000
I forgot some of the guitars he used. I can't even think of it, but I think he even used Tony Carey on keyboards.

642
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:43,000
So he used a big array of people, too. And he put out a harder rockier album that most of the Kiss fans identified with. And it was really good music.

643
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:55,000
So to me, Ace Freelie from the cover of New York Groove, which was very interesting to Fractured. Fractured Mirror is one of the best instrumentals I've ever heard in my life.

644
00:58:55,000 --> 00:59:08,000
To speeding back to my baby. I mean, Need a Love. I mean, his album was better than a lot of Kiss albums were to me.

645
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:20,000
He was just, he still is such a great writer. Even his last album that he put out, 10,000 Volts, is excellent.

646
00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:29,000
He's just a great musician and great writer. Yeah, he's sloppy. I know he's sloppy. I don't care. Jimmy Page was sloppy. Jimmy Hendrix was sloppy.

647
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:34,000
There are a lot of sloppy guitarists that sound fucking awesome. And I don't care.

648
00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:38,000
Yeah. That's what makes you sound awesome is the thought.

649
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:42,000
It is, man. I mean, listen to, I tell you about Dizzy Strallon, how much I enjoyed him.

650
00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:44,000
That shows you're human.

651
00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:54,000
Yeah. Sometimes I think the most polis music is the most boring music. You take Dream Theater and put them against Kiss.

652
00:59:54,000 --> 01:00:01,000
And you tell me who was head and tails better. Dream Theater is precise. Everything just laid out perfectly.

653
01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:09,000
Kiss, raw. Rude. Better. Wasp. Yeah, nothing special about them musically. Raw, rude, better.

654
01:00:09,000 --> 01:00:18,000
That's why people don't like voice tracking and backtracking is because they like the raw, rude experience.

655
01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:25,000
So that's my top four ace, Gene, Paul, Peter.

656
01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:32,000
So anyhow, let's take our second break. We're going to come back with your long segment that you want to do. That sound good?

657
01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:34,000
Sounds good.

658
01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:46,000
All right. We'll be right back.

659
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:53,000
And now, Deep Thoughts with Mark.

660
01:00:53,000 --> 01:01:01,000
Hmm. Let's see. If a worm could talk, would it be argumentive?

661
01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:11,000
I may never know.

662
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:19,000
Tomorrow morning while grinding your coffee beans for your double mocha latte, remember to not get your genitals caught in the grinder.

663
01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:23,000
It really hurts. Who can afford plastic surgery?

664
01:01:23,000 --> 01:01:26,000
Stay safe, everyone.

665
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:34,000
Our constant pursuit for a real knee slapper. It's strange insults from an alien. Real hilarity.

666
01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:41,000
May, your five-year-old neighbor have all their violin lessons during all of your hangovers.

667
01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:51,000
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.

668
01:01:51,000 --> 01:01:59,000
On most of these apocalypse series, we tell you what plants you can eat in case of an apocalypse and you have to go out to your yard for food.

669
01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:06,000
Well, this one is going to explain to you the plants you may be aware of to not eat.

670
01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:17,000
Plants that could be toxic usually might have milky white sap, thorns, spines, or fine hairs, or leaves or stems.

671
01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:27,000
Pods with bulbs, beans, or seeds, stems or trunks that have an almond scent, three-leafed foliage growth.

672
01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:38,000
Also be aware of intensely bitter or sappy flavor, foliage reminiscent of dill, parsley, or carrot.

673
01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:41,000
Next up, things overheard in hell.

674
01:02:41,000 --> 01:02:50,000
Joe Buck and Troy Aitman are being all televised in radio games of the NFL this year.

675
01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:55,000
Yo mama's so stupid, she tried to climb Mountain Dew.

676
01:02:55,000 --> 01:03:12,000
As much fun as an electric can opener to the scrotum, two douchebags in a microphone.

677
01:03:20,000 --> 01:03:23,000
Now it's time for pick-up lines from a loser.

678
01:03:23,000 --> 01:03:26,000
If you were a fruit, you would be a fine apple.

679
01:03:45,000 --> 01:03:48,000
Two douchebags in a microphone, huh Mark?

680
01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:50,000
And I am Rob.

681
01:03:50,000 --> 01:03:53,000
Rob, we go to you.

682
01:04:02,000 --> 01:04:04,000
The CIA?

683
01:04:04,000 --> 01:04:12,000
Yeah. That's in the public. I'm not going to get in trouble over this.

684
01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:20,000
No, the CIA.

685
01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:27,000
Okay, you probably said A, I just didn't hear it, and that's why I wanted to make sure. Okay.

686
01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:40,000
In the 1960s, the CIA embarked on a bizarre mission using cats to eavesdrop on important conversations.

687
01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:43,000
Yes, cats.

688
01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:46,000
Okay, can't wait to hear this.

689
01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:56,000
To be fair, it was just one feline before the operation was abandoned, but that doesn't make the idea any less odd.

690
01:04:56,000 --> 01:05:15,000
In a procedure lasting an hour, the CIA surgically implanted a microphone, transmitter, and antenna wire inside the cat, aiming to have it carry out its mission without raising suspicion.

691
01:05:18,000 --> 01:05:19,000
Okay.

692
01:05:19,000 --> 01:05:31,000
However, the project encountered problems, primarily related to the animal's training, or rather than lack of it.

693
01:05:31,000 --> 01:05:39,000
The feline frequently ignored its mission, referring to follow its own instincts instead.

694
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:43,000
Known as Operation Acoustic Kitty,

695
01:05:43,000 --> 01:06:03,000
the project was finally cancelled in 1967, but not before the CIA had sunk $20 million into discovering what everyone else already knew.

696
01:06:03,000 --> 01:06:06,000
Cats will always do as they please.

697
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:10,000
Where did you get this at? Go ahead, I'm sorry, but...

698
01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:17,000
I'll give you a website. War History Online.

699
01:06:17,000 --> 01:06:20,000
Oh wow. Anyhow, go ahead. This is cool.

700
01:06:20,000 --> 01:06:33,000
Many may not know that the CIA has a memorial honoring agents who've been lost in the line of duty, located in the agency headquarters in Langley, Virginia.

701
01:06:33,000 --> 01:06:41,000
Each member is represented by a star with one added for every day.

702
01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:50,000
Presently, there are 140 lining the memorial.

703
01:06:50,000 --> 01:06:51,000
Yeah.

704
01:06:51,000 --> 01:07:02,000
So, yeah, they have their own memorial for officers killed in the line of duty, and that's Cool's Hell.

705
01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:03,000
Yeah.

706
01:07:03,000 --> 01:07:11,000
See what we had going down here.

707
01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:17,000
Which, I have an update on that, I don't know if I'm even going to give it.

708
01:07:17,000 --> 01:07:22,000
Okay, next.

709
01:07:22,000 --> 01:07:36,000
The CIA and its agents are certainly no strangers to weird and controversial activities related to torture.

710
01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:45,000
Out of the methods we know about the strangers is arguably the use of popular music.

711
01:07:45,000 --> 01:07:52,000
What's more, it's not just one type of music that's used.

712
01:07:52,000 --> 01:08:09,000
According to a report done out of the darkness, songs by Irish pop group Westlife was used to torture a man at a black site.

713
01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:11,000
Okay.

714
01:08:11,000 --> 01:08:24,000
Another report this time by Human Rights Watch also detailed the use of songs by rappers Eminem and Dr. Gray,

715
01:08:24,000 --> 01:08:33,000
with it having also been reported that music from Red Hot Chili Peppers has also been played.

716
01:08:33,000 --> 01:08:46,000
The loudest music features heavy guitar riffs, which are said to cause distress among those being held captive.

717
01:08:46,000 --> 01:08:50,000
Okay.

718
01:08:50,000 --> 01:08:53,000
That guy's a waste of money too.

719
01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:55,000
Yes.

720
01:08:55,000 --> 01:08:56,000
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

721
01:08:56,000 --> 01:09:00,000
Yeah, I would say.

722
01:09:00,000 --> 01:09:08,000
Ted Kaczynski, better known as the Unabomber, is one of America's most notorious criminals,

723
01:09:08,000 --> 01:09:13,000
who made homemade explosive devices and mailed them out across the country,

724
01:09:13,000 --> 01:09:24,000
invoking a sense of terror and unease from the 1970s all the way through the 1990s, when he was eventually caught.

725
01:09:24,000 --> 01:09:42,000
Kaczynski was actually involved in a CIA-funded study at Harvard University during his second year at the post-secondary school.

726
01:09:42,000 --> 01:09:54,000
This involved undergraduate students discussing their personal beliefs with other participants and writing an essay.

727
01:09:54,000 --> 01:10:11,000
The writing was then given to an anonymous person, who then belittled them while the participants' physiologically reaction was monitored.

728
01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:23,000
David Kaczynski, the Unabomber's brother, wonders if his involvement as an studymate has influenced some of his crimes.

729
01:10:23,000 --> 01:10:28,000
Mm-hmm. That's interesting.

730
01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:32,000
Good point.

731
01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:45,000
Next, the legendary secret military base known as Area 51 has been a hot topic within the conspiracy theory circles for decades,

732
01:10:45,000 --> 01:10:53,000
but did you know it wasn't officially acknowledged until 2013?

733
01:10:53,000 --> 01:11:07,000
Many believed the base to be America's main site for the analysis and storage of extraterrestrial beings and technology.

734
01:11:07,000 --> 01:11:21,000
To the dismay of many around the world, the official acknowledgement started the site with simply a testing area for secret military aircraft and aerial vehicles.

735
01:11:21,000 --> 01:11:41,000
In 2019, the CIA may have regretted confirming its existence when a group of more than two million people jokingly planned to storm it.

736
01:11:41,000 --> 01:11:42,000
Do you remember that?

737
01:11:42,000 --> 01:11:43,000
Yeah.

738
01:11:43,000 --> 01:11:44,000
That never happened.

739
01:11:44,000 --> 01:11:45,000
Yep.

740
01:11:45,000 --> 01:12:04,000
Next, some believe the CIA hired Saddam Hussein in the 1950s with the goal of appointing him as the president of Iraq.

741
01:12:04,000 --> 01:12:07,000
I think that's true. Yep.

742
01:12:07,000 --> 01:12:28,000
At the time, the United States believed that Iraq's prime minister, never mind, may have been aligned with communist beliefs, and removing him from power would put a stop to that.

743
01:12:28,000 --> 01:12:40,000
The account was collected by United Press International, which interviewed former diplomats, American intelligence officials, and scholars.

744
01:12:40,000 --> 01:12:45,000
Interestingly, the CIA refused to comment.

745
01:12:45,000 --> 01:12:52,000
I'm sure. I remember reading that quite a while ago.

746
01:12:52,000 --> 01:12:56,000
Yeah. Yeah, I did too.

747
01:12:56,000 --> 01:12:59,000
Let me interject one second, then I'll stop.

748
01:12:59,000 --> 01:13:09,000
It's been really interesting how many people the United States were sighted up with that they eventually fight.

749
01:13:09,000 --> 01:13:11,000
You know what I mean?

750
01:13:11,000 --> 01:13:12,000
There's a lot.

751
01:13:12,000 --> 01:13:20,000
Without going into it, there's a lot of other ones that they used to be doing business with and friends, and all of a sudden they find a war to fight against them.

752
01:13:20,000 --> 01:13:21,000
I find it ironic.

753
01:13:21,000 --> 01:13:25,000
So anyhow, go ahead, Rob.

754
01:13:25,000 --> 01:13:29,000
Okay, next.

755
01:13:29,000 --> 01:13:36,000
The CIA has a well-known history with the hallucinogenic substance LSD.

756
01:13:36,000 --> 01:13:38,000
Oh, shit.

757
01:13:38,000 --> 01:13:39,000
That's going to sound horribly.

758
01:13:39,000 --> 01:13:42,000
Same project MKUltra.

759
01:13:42,000 --> 01:13:45,000
Okay.

760
01:13:45,000 --> 01:13:58,000
The agency is also known for its interest in the human mind and for setting out to see if someone could actually be mind controlled.

761
01:13:58,000 --> 01:14:12,000
It merged the two in the 1950s to form a project codenamed Operation Midnight Climax.

762
01:14:12,000 --> 01:14:28,000
To witness its efforts LSD without directly acting illegally, the agency hired female street workers in San Francisco to administer the substance for them.

763
01:14:28,000 --> 01:14:42,000
The women would bring unsuspecting male customers back to safe houses where they'd secretly dispense the substance into the victim before engaging in their activities.

764
01:14:42,000 --> 01:14:52,000
To observe the effects, each location had mirrors that agents could watch through.

765
01:14:52,000 --> 01:14:58,000
Well, what they'd do was like a sting operation.

766
01:14:58,000 --> 01:15:05,000
They took female officers, dressed them up as hookers, to get Johns to take back to the hotel.

767
01:15:05,000 --> 01:15:10,000
Then they'd shoot them up with the LSD and monitor them.

768
01:15:10,000 --> 01:15:17,000
How fucked up.

769
01:15:17,000 --> 01:15:18,000
Real quick, Rob.

770
01:15:18,000 --> 01:15:24,000
You're going to hear in the middle of this I accidentally.

771
01:15:24,000 --> 01:15:30,000
Wow. I accidentally hit the mic while you were talking. It's going to sound like shit when you hear the program.

772
01:15:30,000 --> 01:15:32,000
Just letting you know.

773
01:15:32,000 --> 01:15:37,000
Only for a second though, but I accidentally smacked it really good. I'm sure it's going to go.

774
01:15:37,000 --> 01:15:41,000
But anyhow.

775
01:15:41,000 --> 01:15:43,000
Okay, next.

776
01:15:43,000 --> 01:15:45,000
Okay.

777
01:15:45,000 --> 01:15:58,000
Given the long hours CIA agents work, it's no surprise that the agency headquarters is in Langley, Virginia, contains a Starbucks.

778
01:15:58,000 --> 01:16:03,000
However, it's different than the average franchise.

779
01:16:03,000 --> 01:16:07,000
You'd find anywhere else in the world.

780
01:16:07,000 --> 01:16:16,000
This Starbucks location is streamlined since they're members of the secretive line of work.

781
01:16:16,000 --> 01:16:24,000
The baristas who work there are trained to remember faces instead of needing names.

782
01:16:24,000 --> 01:16:34,000
And they have go through much higher security checks than your average employee.

783
01:16:34,000 --> 01:16:45,000
So that's the big thing about the CIA is keeping the identification secret.

784
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:47,000
Yeah.

785
01:16:47,000 --> 01:16:53,000
So you know you go to Starbucks, you order, you got to get in your name.

786
01:16:53,000 --> 01:17:00,000
They don't do that there. They actually train their employees to learn the employees.

787
01:17:00,000 --> 01:17:02,000
I can totally believe that, yes.

788
01:17:02,000 --> 01:17:07,000
I think that's cool.

789
01:17:07,000 --> 01:17:11,000
Okay, and finally.

790
01:17:11,000 --> 01:17:24,000
In exchange for information, the CIA has a long list of payment methods that can be used as an alternative to money.

791
01:17:24,000 --> 01:17:44,000
An example of this comes from the Vietnam War when Vietnamese farmers hired by the agency were paid in tools rather than money as items were more of use.

792
01:17:44,000 --> 01:17:51,000
Another notable example occurred during the war in Afghanistan.

793
01:17:51,000 --> 01:18:03,000
With agents offering an Afghan chieftain by agro in exchange for information on Taliban activities in the region.

794
01:18:03,000 --> 01:18:17,000
This was a much safer option than money and weapons as the latter could fail and fall into the wrong hands.

795
01:18:17,000 --> 01:18:19,000
Okay.

796
01:18:19,000 --> 01:18:31,000
So during the Afghan War they would offer by agro as a bargaining tool.

797
01:18:31,000 --> 01:18:37,000
That does, none of that surprises me Rob, none of that.

798
01:18:37,000 --> 01:18:42,000
Because it's Taliban, don't they all have 30 kids or some shit?

799
01:18:42,000 --> 01:18:46,000
Yeah, that's where the Viagra comes in.

800
01:18:46,000 --> 01:18:49,000
They wanted 10 more kids.

801
01:18:49,000 --> 01:18:55,000
They wanted 10 more kids Rob, I don't know.

802
01:18:55,000 --> 01:18:57,000
Damn.

803
01:18:57,000 --> 01:19:02,000
That was an interesting list. Thank you Rob.

804
01:19:02,000 --> 01:19:05,000
The sad thing is that some of them I knew about already.

805
01:19:05,000 --> 01:19:12,000
But the ones that I didn't know about that were even more shocking than the ones I did know about did not surprise me in the least.

806
01:19:12,000 --> 01:19:17,000
They were off the wall.

807
01:19:17,000 --> 01:19:21,000
Yeah, I believe that.

808
01:19:21,000 --> 01:19:23,000
It sounds like something they do.

809
01:19:23,000 --> 01:19:25,000
They spent on all this.

810
01:19:25,000 --> 01:19:31,000
That one was 20 million for a cat.

811
01:19:31,000 --> 01:19:44,000
Yeah, and is it any wonder we're about ready to have a dollar crisis that people don't want to use our currency anymore because we're so far in debt we can never get out of it?

812
01:19:44,000 --> 01:19:46,000
It's shit like that.

813
01:19:46,000 --> 01:19:48,000
Shit like that that makes it.

814
01:19:48,000 --> 01:19:51,000
That makes that happen right there.

815
01:19:51,000 --> 01:19:55,000
And do you think that one party does that? No. Both parties does that.

816
01:19:55,000 --> 01:20:00,000
It's just complete bullshit. They're walking all over us.

817
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:06,000
So, anyhow, I had a story I was going to go into but I'm going to save it for tomorrow.

818
01:20:06,000 --> 01:20:11,000
And it's interesting because I know you and I have both done this thing.

819
01:20:11,000 --> 01:20:17,000
But now there's a word for it and it wasn't anything you ever discussed. It just happened.

820
01:20:17,000 --> 01:20:22,000
And I'll just leave it right there for tomorrow. Does that sound good?

821
01:20:22,000 --> 01:20:23,000
Yeah.

822
01:20:23,000 --> 01:20:30,000
All right. Hi Grandma Opal. Hi Jimmy. Hi Ricky. Dodge City, Kansas.

823
01:20:30,000 --> 01:20:38,000
Hi Grandma. Hi Jimmy. Hi Ricky. Hope you guys are doing good. Love to hear from you guys.

824
01:20:38,000 --> 01:20:43,000
Yeah. I don't know. I haven't gotten an email from them in quite a while.

825
01:20:43,000 --> 01:20:48,000
And I know if they're still listening they heard the email a while back where I said send me something.

826
01:20:48,000 --> 01:20:51,000
But then again my email's been screwed up too.

827
01:20:51,000 --> 01:20:55,000
So they may have sent something. I just haven't got it or I'll get it in three months.

828
01:20:55,000 --> 01:20:58,000
We'll get it some more time.

829
01:20:58,000 --> 01:21:01,000
All right. We're going to keep saying hi.

830
01:21:01,000 --> 01:21:02,000
Yeah.

831
01:21:02,000 --> 01:21:06,000
Well, we hope you guys are still out there and we hope you're still listening.

832
01:21:06,000 --> 01:21:09,000
We hope Grandma Opal's okay and we hope everyone else is doing well.

833
01:21:09,000 --> 01:21:10,000
Yes.

834
01:21:10,000 --> 01:21:15,000
But even the new guy Ricky didn't even write. So I'm like, well, what the hell?

835
01:21:15,000 --> 01:21:19,000
Did Dodge City, Kansas ban us? I don't know.

836
01:21:19,000 --> 01:21:20,000
I don't know why.

837
01:21:20,000 --> 01:21:21,000
I don't know either.

838
01:21:21,000 --> 01:21:24,000
We've been saying plenty of recognition.

839
01:21:24,000 --> 01:21:29,000
Yeah. We love them. We always say hi. So yeah. Okay. Well anyhow, we'll see.

840
01:21:29,000 --> 01:21:34,000
At least we don't make fun of them like we did Montrose.

841
01:21:34,000 --> 01:21:42,000
No, no. And it's funny because Montrose sent me, I never did get to it, but they sent me an email.

842
01:21:42,000 --> 01:21:46,000
And they were like, you know, how come you never talk about us anymore?

843
01:21:46,000 --> 01:21:52,000
And I said, you know what? We still, you're still on every promo at the very first.

844
01:21:52,000 --> 01:22:00,000
I said on the, on the pledge, the daily pledge, we still encourage people to go there.

845
01:22:00,000 --> 01:22:07,000
But the problem is you don't have a power plant like we promised. I haven't heard back.

846
01:22:07,000 --> 01:22:15,000
Yeah. Yeah. We said the power plant went down. We don't communicate with them.

847
01:22:15,000 --> 01:22:17,000
Yes. I never told us.

848
01:22:17,000 --> 01:22:20,000
Wait a second. No, no, no, no, no.

849
01:22:20,000 --> 01:22:21,000
What?

850
01:22:21,000 --> 01:22:26,000
They got pissy over the auto parts.

851
01:22:26,000 --> 01:22:29,000
Oh yeah. That's right. I've forgotten.

852
01:22:29,000 --> 01:22:32,000
I was having to go through tightwad.

853
01:22:32,000 --> 01:22:35,000
Yeah. Yeah. Yep. Yep. That's right.

854
01:22:35,000 --> 01:22:45,000
And then they did. You found out from one of your friends that the power plant went down. They didn't even tell us.

855
01:22:45,000 --> 01:22:53,000
My friend, Richie, who listens, she, she sent me a, she sent me a video of it. Yeah.

856
01:22:53,000 --> 01:22:55,000
It was imploded. It's gone.

857
01:22:55,000 --> 01:22:57,000
It would have been cool to go watch, man.

858
01:22:57,000 --> 01:23:03,000
Yeah. Yeah. It would have been. I mean, it happened a few years ago too, as a thing and they never did tell us.

859
01:23:03,000 --> 01:23:09,000
So, I mean, I don't know. Should we be mad at them? Maybe? I don't know. Anyhow. Oh well.

860
01:23:09,000 --> 01:23:17,000
No, no, no. Honestly, I got my trust is back on this one.

861
01:23:17,000 --> 01:23:19,000
Okay.

862
01:23:19,000 --> 01:23:24,000
It's been gone for a while and you and I didn't even realize it. That's on us.

863
01:23:24,000 --> 01:23:26,000
You know what? You're right. That is on us.

864
01:23:26,000 --> 01:23:28,000
They got it. They got it.

865
01:23:28,000 --> 01:23:35,000
We got got because we didn't bother to do our research. So, okay. You're right. All right. Montrose, I'm sorry.

866
01:23:35,000 --> 01:23:37,000
Good job, Montrose.

867
01:23:37,000 --> 01:23:45,000
Good job. You got a couple of douchebags good. So, all righty, everybody. Thank you for listening. Good night, assholes.

868
01:23:45,000 --> 01:23:48,000
Good night, assholes.

869
01:23:48,000 --> 01:23:55,000
Oh no. Looks like the show's over, kids. Mark has explosive diarrhea and can't afford a wireless mic.

870
01:23:55,000 --> 01:23:59,000
Fear not, assholes. They'll be back invading your ear holes soon.
