Hey everybody, this is Mark. I would like to apologize for the quality of this podcast.
You're going to hear it making some noises here and there where I topped out on the sound volume.
But unfortunately, I was trying some new ways to record and I guess it didn't turn out too well,
but it's too late because I pieced everything together and what you get is what you get.
So I hope you enjoy it and if it hurts your ears, I guess just turn it off and catch the next one.
But don't, there's good stuff in it.
And now it's time for the Daily Deucebag Pledge.
Here at Two Deucebags in a Microphone,
we don't stand behind our journalistic integrity.
Go ahead and assume we got the story wrong.
At least we admit it.
Not like all those other guys, we can and will lie if it makes the story better.
Two Deucebags and a Microphone.
And now, Deep Thoughts with Mark.
Hmm, seems to me that the whole object of playing golf is to play the least amount of golf.
Oh shit, what's that over there?
Oh no, it's the island of horrible jokes.
I asked my date to meet me at the gym.
She didn't show up.
I guess we're not going to work out.
You watched the news.
It looks grim.
Is it an apocalypse?
Inevitable?
We suggest you download all our podcasts beforehand and have multiple mobile chargers.
We have the most apocalyptic needs.
We're going to have to get all of the kids.
King Show.
I mean, the guy's just incredible, man.
He looks better now than he had.
He just doesn't age.
He looks fantastic, man.
He's still in great shape.
He's a handsome guy.
He's got great hair.
I mean, he's just a fantastic...
I mean, I really admire what he's done.
Anyhow, he is to open coffee chains of anti-woke shops to counter Starbucks.
Now, if you're woke, that's fine.
I don't care.
Do whatever you want to do with anything, but I love this other option because I haven't
liked Starbucks in quite a while.
One of the reasons is a while back, their new CEO, I don't know if he...
I think he may not be the CEO anymore, but he said this.
He said that he didn't necessarily really want white straight men to come buy his coffee.
Now, I don't care about anyone's sexuality at all.
It doesn't bother me at all.
It has nothing to do with me.
As long as you're not breaking laws or touching children or something, I don't care.
So, him to say that to me is just completely ridiculous and an asshole.
In my opinion, the guy is a big fucking asshole, and I have never done business with him since.
It's fine if you support gay people.
That's great, man.
It's fine with me, but when you go and you start signaling out people and putting them
in generalizing them all as whatever he was trying to do, he was trying to say they're
all racist or whatever he was trying to insinuate was bullshit.
I don't like that, and I never have done business with him since.
So, I go to other coffee shops.
I like Dutch Brothers.
It's really, really good coffee.
I like my local coffee shops.
Like I said, I always go to City Market Coffee.
It's one of my favorite.
I mean, the atmosphere there at the City Market, the coffee's great.
The lady that owns it's great.
I mean, everything about it, I just love it.
It's a neat place.
They're getting ready to open up like a bistro cocktail lounge adjoined to it.
I can't wait for that, and that's going to be excellent.
So, anyhow, for that guy to say that, I forgot his name, but you know what?
I'm not even going to look it up.
Fuck him.
Who cares about him?
In my opinion, he's a fucking, he's a, he's a idiot and a bigot.
So, anyhow, Sly Stallone has announced his plans to open up a chain of coffee shops.
Envisioned as direct counter to Starbucks, focusing on a no-nonsense, traditional coffee experience.
This new venture, dubbed Knockout Brews, aims to offer an alternative, what Stallone describes as overly politicized atmosphere.
And I agree with that 100%.
Anyone's political affiliation would have, should have nothing to do with whether they buy your coffee or not.
You should not be worried about that at all.
You should be worried about how your coffee is and how you can keep your prices a little bit lower, instead of gouging and ripping off people, in my opinion.
I think Starbucks is just a bag of shit to me, and I can't stand them.
And I wish there another company would wipe them off the face of the earth, and I'd be fine with that.
And all this is my opinion and all that, but you know what?
I have a right to say my opinion, and you're fucking damn well I will.
So, the idea came to Stallone after a visit to a local Starbucks, where he felt the environment had become too infused with corporate advocacy and cultural statements.
And I would agree.
Starbucks, to me, is just a gimmick anymore.
They have been for a long time.
They may have started out being decent coffee at a decent price.
But now all they are is just a gimmick, a social thing.
Oh, I went down to Starbucks with my friends.
You know, it's just, to me, it's bullshit.
So, anyhow, Stallone remarked during the announcement of his new business venture, Knockout Brews, is about bringing back the focus of quality and service and leaving politics out the door.
Amen, Sylvester. Amen.
I love that. I think that's fantastic.
And I don't think I have to wish you luck.
I think that this speaks for itself.
I think there's enough people like me that would love to have coffee and not have something shoved up your ass.
And that's just, that's the way it is, man.
I don't need to be told how I need to think.
I don't need to be told that I'm a certain way, I'm a bigot or whatever, as soon as I walk through the door.
I don't need to be categorized because of their perception of what I look like.
So I can go, hopefully I can go to this Knockout Brews and not deal with that.
So, anyhow, the next story, Chipotle smoked brisket is back.
That's right.
The off and on offering is back.
The brisket is made with responsibly raised beef brisket and only available for a limited time.
So responsibly, I wonder, you know, they all have a bedtime.
They have to get up early, do their chores. Is that it?
That's responsibility in brisket in the cows?
I don't know.
The meat is crafted in small batches, seasoned with Mexican spices and finished with our unique brisket sauce made with smoky chili peppers.
I already like the Chipotle form of brisket, but I don't remember the chili pepper sauce.
To me, that sounds incredible and I can't wait to go dig into some of them and I will hear soon.
And I'll give you a report back too when I get a chance.
So like I was telling everybody, and I'm not sure if that segment is going to be on this podcast or not,
but I'm talking about the Glenn Hughes concert coming up at the Mozart Festival.
I've talked about it many times with Rob and I'm really anxious and excited to go see him.
And now it looks like it might rain. So I'm going to invest in some plastic ponchos and hopefully the show will go on.
But the Ultimate Guitar had a recent interview with former Deep Purple bassist and vocalist Glenn Hughes, i.e. the guy I'm going to go see.
Hughes recently spoke about his difficult relationship with guitarist Richie Blackmore.
In an interview with Guitar Interactive magazine, Hughes was asked his opinion of the legendary guitarist Jimi Hendrix, Tony Iommi, and specifically Richie Blackmore.
As about Richie Blackmore, who served with him in Deep Purple, Hughes stated that being friends with him and Purple was very demanding.
He stated, difficult when I joined the band. He flew me to Hamburg for a boys night weekend. We didn't sleep much.
Drinking coffee and fueled on alcohol, we had a grand time with him alone. But as soon as other men came around, he wasn't personal.
It was difficult. Difficult, but very intelligent. Smart, but a difficult person to know and to play with.
Blackmore's shifting moods and heavy personality might have affected Deep Purple's future.
I knew this. There's been so many articles and stuff and what's been said and different interviews and different excerpts of him and everything.
So I think it's pretty easy to see that he may not be the easiest guy to get along with or whatever.
So anyhow, Hughes also commented that him, Glenn Hughes, David Coverdell, the lead singer, and the keyboardist John Lord discussed the lineup getting back together.
But it was scrapped due to Blackmore's inability to respond to messages. And this is a repeated thing.
I mean, Joe Lynn Turner was trying to get back and maybe do something with him and he wouldn't respond to him.
I know a lot of other people have tried to get a hold of him and he doesn't respond. And I don't even think he likes that type of music anymore.
He's into Celtic music and I think that that's where his heart is now. And I don't think he cares for anything he's ever did before.
I don't think he cares for anyone doing that music now. I think that he is out of it completely.
The article did not go into Hughes' relationship with Iommi. They are good friends and they have released three albums together.
Two, Fused was a solo project and the 1996 Depth Sessions was a solo project. And one was Sabbath and that was Seventh Star.
The Sabbath Seventh Star, Tony Iommi, wanted to be a solo effort. But the record company at the time told him that they would not back a solo record.
It had to have the name Black Sabbath on. So it is a Black Sabbath record even though it only had one original member at the time.
And that would be Tony Iommi because Gieser Butler left, Bill Ward left, Ozzy left. The only one left was Tony Iommi.
And so he wanted it to be a solo project mainly because of that. And also he wanted to go into some different ranges.
But the record company, I think was EMI maybe, said no. If you're going to be back by us, your name is going to be Black Sabbath on this album.
So he came up with the Black Sabbath feature in Tony Iommi, which Glenn Hughes was featured on.
And also as for Hendrix, I know through other interviews that he has great respect and admiration for Jimi Hendrix.
And so, I mean, it didn't say this in an article. Like I said, he talked about three guitarists but only featured one.
And that was about his relationship with Richie Blackmore. So anyhow, that was it. And I thought that was interesting to read and probably very believable.
And now I go to Rob Rads hometown. Well, home county and hometown Camden is in Camden County, Missouri.
That's the county Rob's home is located in and it's in Camden. A school bus driver was arrested for a DWI on September 13th at 427 p.m.
Missouri State Highway Patrol was dispatched to a report of a possible intoxicated driver at Route EE and Boot Circle in Camden.
When troopers arrived on the scene, witnesses told them that a man almost hit other cars and was repeatedly running off the roadway.
Troopers say that Brett Allen Emenhiser failed several sobriety tests, could not recite the alphabet and almost falling off the bus face first and slurring his speech.
The driver was arrested on 20 counts of endangering the welfare of a child. He drove a bus for older children. Emenhiser had a blood alcohol content of 0.180, well over the legal limit in Missouri.
The judge very properly denied bond for him and he awaits in jail for the legal process. And man, that right there, I don't know what the max sentence is, but they need to double that.
What a stupid ass. Putting all those kids in danger and he was smashed, allegedly.
I'm sure if Rob was on this show, he'd been reporting that right off the bat. And if he hears this, he's going to go, oh good, Mark got a hold of it.
Interesting. Hi all, this is Mark and this is the beginning of the next solo cast. I would like to remind everybody that the first picks of week three of the NFL were as posted earlier. When I get this out, it might be a day or so late after it.
But go ahead and take a look at them. We have a really long show. We have one for an hour and 45 minutes and the second part of it, which is an hour and a half.
And this is all football picks and other topics and stories and bullet points of what's going on in the NFL. I think you'll like it. Topher and I are pretty proud of it. And go there and take a listen to it.
So, anyhow, I'll start off like this. Like I mentioned before to Rob and whoever was listening, I'm going to the Mozart Festival in Sedalia, Missouri this coming Sunday.
This part of Missouri and areas east, including Sedalia, have been in a substantial drought for all of September, even earlier, probably about half of August.
So I think, OK, this outdoor event held at the Missouri Fairgrounds will be perfect weather. I've been periodically looking at the long range forecast.
Everything looks phenomenal until last night. The whole area I've been talking about suddenly is going to be in a wet pattern.
And this Sunday might be periods of heavy rain off and on with thunderstorms.
Well, guess I'm investing in some plastic pullovers. I hope it rains beforehand because I have no desire to see Petra and the cover band that's opening.
I forgot their name and I even forgot who they are emulating. So, anyhow, so so much for that, right?
I'm hoping it clears out, especially for Glenn Hughes. I would also love to see Starship, but, you know, I'd like to see them. But, you know, if I can only have one act being dry, I wish it was Glenn Hughes.
Because I like I want to hear him do more purple. And he does it very well. He was a singer for them and a hell of a bassist for them.
And I would love to hear him do all of them. I've seen him on the Internet. I've seen him with the Dead Daisies, a phenomenal performer.
So I think that this will be great. And I will have a full report after assuming that everything goes as you know, I don't know what they do if it starts lightning or whatever.
So assuming everything is off and going, I will have a full report.
Then a bewildered seal was photographed in a giant humpback whale's mouth by a photographer taking pictures of the giant mammals.
Seals are not part of the humpback's diet. It appears what happened to the whale often uses a technique called the shovel process.
An easy way to catch food where the whale opens its mouth all the way and takes in large amounts of water with many smaller fish.
The seal must have been caught up in the shoveling. The seal did escape from the whale's mouth when it realized the animal was in its jaws and quickly released it.
This was from the Seattle Bay area. And if you get a chance to look up the photos, it's pretty interesting.
It's cool. I mean, see the look on the seal's face like, what the hell? And the whale's face like, what the hell?
Interesting to see in nature like that.
Meanwhile, in Bedford, Ohio, the Associated Press says an eight-year-old girl took an SUV from her Ohio home and drove four miles to a store where she was later found unharmed, authorities said.
The girl, whose name was not released in the vehicle, a 2020 Nissan Rogue, were reported missing around 9 a.m. Sunday, Bedford police said.
Family members said they had last seen the girl at the residence about two hours earlier.
As police launched an investigation, they learned a small child had been spotted driving a vehicle on a nearby road.
But the vehicle could not be located. The SUV eventually was found a short time later in the parking lot of a Target store in Bainbridge, which is nearly 13 miles from her home.
Police soon found the child herself inside the store. She told officers she had struck a mailbox while driving, but nothing else.
Authorities did not say why she decided to travel to the store or provide further details about her trip.
The girl's too young to be charged criminally, police said. It wasn't clear Monday if any charges would be filed in the matter, which remains under investigation.
So there you go.
Now this is something Topher and I had not had a chance to delve into earlier on the sports podcast.
I believe we are called the sports bastards. We're no longer douches, we're bastards.
So there is a huge ruckus, I guess, people up in arms, whatever, about the ending of the Philadelphia Eagles-Atlanta Falcons game, which the Atlanta Falcons won in the last seconds.
Very dramatic. So it goes like this. Calls Mount for a major rule change after referee's decision in Eagles-Falcons.
The Philadelphia Eagles and Atlanta Falcons played a back and forth battle on Monday night football.
Atlanta's 22-21 victory featured intense controversy at the end of the game.
During the Falcons' game win and drive, quarterback Kurt Coveyns found Drake London in the end zone to tie the game at 21 and give Atlanta's kicker a chance to attain the lead.
The Falcons veteran kicker Young-Ho Koo was setting up for a chip shot to put Atlanta on top, but London received an unsportsmanlike penalty that pushed the extra point attempt to 48 yards.
While Koo was still able to find the uprights, NFL fans were furious that London was called for a flag.
After he caught the ball in the end zone, London used his arms to mimic a gun and shot up in the air, which by rule is a flag.
NFL fans believed the referees could have cost Atlanta the game and demand unsportsmanlike penalties like this to be changed.
This is an interesting subject because of this right here.
I think that we live in a society so prone to violence that we are knee-jerking on possibly some wrong stuff.
I don't think that some football player acting like he shoots a gun in the air is going to affect a child's psyche.
I think playing Grand Theft Auto could affect a child's psyche a hell of a lot easier than some guy pretending to shoot a gun in the air because he just scored a touchdown and possibly won the game.
That right there is NFL overthinking and NFL trying to look like they are not a part of this.
Everybody believes this too, let me tell you.
The NFL is overthinking this and knee-jerk reaction this and to me it just makes them look like a bunch of boobs.
They are worried about something as minute as this when there is a whole lot of other things they could be worried about like painkillers, betting, cheating, all of this stuff.
It is ridiculous in my opinion.
Despite a brutal hit by the officiating crew late in the game, Atlanta was still able to pull away with their first win of the season.
During the final drive, Cousins was shown why he is a nine-figure NFL contract.
He led the Falcons down filled with ease.
Cousins and the Falcons had just under two minutes and 70 yards to gain and the first year Falcon got the job done.
Well good, you know man, I like her Cousins. He is a solid guy.
I just never thought he was the guy to take you to the promised land and I still don't think he is the guy to take you to the promised land.
But I do think he is a hell of a quarterback and he is really good and he could easily be a pro bowler if he had a really good year without a problem.
He might be the backup one. They might go for easily like a Josh Allen, definitely a Mahomes, could be a Herbert, could be even a Burrow.
But, you know, Cousins is up there. I mean he is in the top seven I bet, pretty easily.
So, anyhow, I think that this is ridiculous like a lot of other people do.
And I hope they look into this and maybe change the rules but I don't think you are going to get him to admit fault at this point.
I think that NFL is going to ride with it, ride or die with it.
So, ending other NFL news, to a Tagovaiola, Dolphins quarterback, after getting another concussion, an NFL network insider went on to say that the Dolphins 50 year starter plans to play when cleared by the doctors.
The goal is to get on the field when he is ready.
That is one reason Mike McDaniel would not put in a timeline on it and wouldn't even address it. Timelines lead to anxiety, Rappaport said.
As far as the football goes, Ian Rappaport reported this.
He wouldn't be surprised if he misses multiple games over this concussion.
He has a lot of concussions and a lot of people speculate that maybe he should retire while he still has his health.
Tua kind of brought this one on himself.
He had the option of laying down. Mahomes would lay down. Mahomes would just hit the turf and that was it.
If anyone touched him after that, they were getting a penalty. They were getting 15 yards. So most likely, no one is going to touch him.
If you are a Baltimore Raven, you will, but they are that stupid.
Anyhow, Tua has no plans on retiring, so that makes Tom Brady probably not going to the Dolphins like Ben Rumored.
Ben Rumored, I never heard it for sure, but enough people have said that Tom Brady was asked and he said that he would consider going to the Dolphins if they had an opening.
Tyreek Hill has openly said that he always wanted to play with Tom Brady.
They put Tua and Tua together and thought that this was what was going to happen, but at least not yet it's not.
If Tua gets another concussion after this one, I would say there is a good chance of him not being there anymore.
But as far as Tom Brady coming in, I don't know. I'm sure his contract with NFL has clauses and stipulations to where if something like this arose, Tom Brady could consider it and maybe do it.
It's not like he's burning it up in the booth. Let's be honest. So I found that pretty interesting.
When taking a shower, remember to scrub your asshole with soapy water because nobody likes a stinky asshole.
Yo mama's so fat, she went out in high heels and struck a coil.
Tua dish bags a microphone in an effort to keep everything fresh. We offer you first world problems.
Damn it. The city services website is down again.
I can't believe this. I'm going to have to actually call and talk to someone to pay my damn trash bill.
This is ridiculous.
Hey there, fuckstick. You're just in time for brand new feature news nobody gives a shit about.
A pet turtle named Sashi is thought to be the oldest one in captivity at 120 years old.
Next up, things overheard in hell.
Diet Coke is the only soft drink available in hell.
Hey, we have some emails.
The emails I'm going to answer are the ones I got post Rob. The ones before pertained to that particular part of the show.
That timeline or whatever, that type of a show.
Now the show once again is different and we have two different kinds.
We have the NFL show with me and Topher and we have two douche bags and microphone.
That is still the name and it is still here. It just has me.
So here are the emails that really are pertaining to this only.
The other ones, I'm sorry I'm not going to answer them because it's just not relevant.
That show isn't here anymore.
So, anyhow.
Mark, are you still going to do a non-sports podcast?
If so, will it be called Two Douchebags and a Microphone?
Thanks. Johnny and OP. Overland Park.
Number one, Johnny, thank you for sticking with me. I appreciate that.
I've spoke with you before, you know, actually on the phone and over the internet.
And I really appreciate your input of what you think the show needs to do.
What you like about it. What you're not necessarily crazy about.
I really appreciate all your input.
Keep it coming to me because now we're Facebook friends and all you got to do is shoot me a message.
It's fine. Or a text. Whatever, that's fine.
Johnny, number one, okay, yes. I'm still going to be doing a show.
And this is one of them. You sent this to me right after the Rob thing went down.
I understand that.
And now, I know that you know because I've posted some shows since then that I'm still going on with this facet of the show.
But it is going to be called Two Douchebags and a Microphone.
And I plan on still doing it.
I would go into more but there are some questions here that I would answer with this.
But I want to go ahead and answer them specifically.
So yes, I plan on doing this type of a show still.
So thank you, Johnny. And I will be speaking with you.
I've had numerous emails. Is Rob okay?
I'm saying them in different variations but everyone seemed to ask if Rob is okay.
I texted him last night. He does seem to be okay.
He's still waiting on his truck to be fixed from the shop.
He sounds rather irritated with that but he said he was doing fine.
So I'm hoping that Rob left the show.
I mean, I know that that thing happened and all that and everything.
And we talked about it and we're cool with each other.
But he left the show because he needs more time with his family.
And I support him 100%. He needs that time.
He really needs that time and I think it's excellent.
And I think it's a thing of beauty that he chose to be with his family over this podcast.
Family is so much more important than this thing.
So I commend him and he's doing the right thing.
And so Rob is okay. He's spending more time with his family,
his grandson that he wanted to spend time with.
And I think that's beautiful. I think that's excellent.
There's not a better thing in the whole world than that.
So Rob is doing all right.
So thank you for giving a crap. He's doing fine.
And I think everyone like me, you can't help but like Rob.
He's just a nice guy. What you see is what you get.
He's an honest guy.
So, I mean, he's a very likeable guy and I'm glad that everybody is wondering about him.
And there's a couple of people motherfucking him.
Fuck you guys. You know what? I already blocked you. So anyhow.
All right. Mark, do you plan on Rob ever coming back to co-host that same spot?
Willie in Harrisonville. P.S. I'm the same Willie in Montrose.
I didn't know. I should have asked you.
Okay. Willie in Montrose and Willie in Harrisonville.
Number one, thank you. Thank you for the entertaining emails you sent us before
when we were doing the whole Montrose thing.
And thank you for the ones from Harrisonville.
I assume you live in Harrisonville, I guess, and not Montrose from what I can gather.
So anyhow, I'm going to say Willie in Harrisonville. Thank you very much.
And you know, Rob and I haven't ruled out anything.
Rob is always welcome to give me a call.
And if he wishes to do it half of the time or whatever, that would be fine with me.
I'd be okay with it.
But it's got to be okay with Rob because Rob needs to spend some time with his family.
And I don't need this show robbing from that.
So if he's good with it, he can give me a call and we can talk about it any time.
And I think he knows the door is open. Yes, of course.
Next one and the final one is, hey, I really enjoy the NFL show with you and Topher.
Just to let you know, Zappa in North Kansas City.
Zappa like Frank Zappa. Are you?
Well, I guess you can't answer me. But I mean, I guess you send another email.
Is that after Frank Zappa? Is that really your name or is that your last name Zappa?
Anyhow, either one's cool.
So, yeah, Topher and I plan on doing an NFL show when the NFL season is over.
And hopefully after the Chiefs are a three-peat, we plan on doing something.
We don't know, maybe movie critics. We don't know.
We're going to do something fun, lighthearted, like the NFL stuff.
That's what Topher and I want to do. And we're going to do it.
And we're in discussions about it. And we're going to just slowly evolve into whatever it is.
And I suspect we'll probably start evolving into it in the end of each NFL show like we have been.
Him and I have been talking about various other subjects afterwards, and it's been working really well.
So I think we're going to evolve into what type of a show we're going to be in when it's not NFL season,
and when it's NFL season, of course we're going to be the NFL show.
So I think Topher and I are still a work in progress, but we are starting to get much better at it
and sound more uniform and have our shit together.
The first one, we couldn't even think of anybody's names.
We couldn't think of the coach's names. We couldn't think of the players' names.
We couldn't even name the safeties on – you know, we were really having a hard time getting our shit together,
but we're finally starting to get antiquated to it. We're starting to get a better grasp and feeling of the NFL this year.
And we're going to – I mean, we're already been doing good, but in my point of view, we're going to be doing much better.
So anyhow, we love the NFL show. Topher and I love doing it Tuesday or Wednesday from the city market.
And anyhow, I'm going to try to send out like a message ahead of time.
And then if any of our friends want to come down there and join us, they can.
Or 816-217-7717 is still the douchebag's hotline, but only the NFL hotline too,
because, well, we're poor here and we can't afford two phone lines.
So anyhow, I hope everybody pretty much had their question answered.
Like I said, the ones before about the old show with Rob, no, I said everything I had to say.
And also I said everything I had to say on this one, and everything is done.
So anyhow, that is the end of these emails and the end of this segment.
So this next thing is something I really would like to do.
This is a luxury bullet train going from Los Angeles to Las Vegas.
At 186 plus miles per hour, trains will take passengers from Las Vegas, Nevada to Southern California in two hours and ten minutes.
Twice as fast as the average drive time.
Brightline West broke ground in early 2024 and is expected to take approximately four years to build.
Now this is not only a faster way to get there and you can hammer some drinks down or whatever.
I mean, it sounds like a pretty cool deal.
It's a luxury train. It has recliners, soft recliners that go all the way back.
It has big screens. It has large windows to where you can look out and see the desert or whatever is there.
It has food, drink. It's just like a big party.
And it's going to be a really neat thing.
And it will probably help a lot of people go to Vegas for a weekend from California.
All you got to do is get to LA and then you can get to Vegas without having that long drive or anything else.
I like that idea a lot and I plan on doing that at some point after it's built.
So we'll see. I'm pretty sure the first couple of years it's going to be sold out because this is such a novelty thing.
And I'm pretty sure they'll have different tiers.
They haven't said this but I'm thinking probably like you get first class, which is probably all pampered.
They clip your toenails, massage your scalp, rub your ass, whatever.
And give you food and drink the whole time and you sit there and have a big old party.
And then there's probably the other end where, okay, I'm on here.
I got to walk up there and order a drink from the counter.
Geez, there's a long line. Oh my gosh. You know, that kind of thing.
So anyhow, I like this idea a lot and I will partake in it at some point.
And another thing about this is it goes through the mountains.
It goes through the Sierra Nevada Mountains, which are beautiful.
Which is going to be a great scenery to go by in a bullet train.
You don't have to drive it so you don't have to worry about driving in the steep hills or nothing.
Sit in there, you hammer some drinks and you look at the mountains.
That sounds fantastic to me.
And like I said, as soon as it's open and as soon as I can get in, I plan on doing this.
To me that sounds like a really good time.
And then you end up in Vegas. So, I mean, what's wrong with that?
Anyhow, I shall be there and I bet you a lot of you people there are raising your eyebrow going, oh yeah, me too.
So the next thing I want to speak about is, you know, always make fun of me.
So this next thing is something I really would like to do.
This is a luxury bullet train going from Los Angeles to Las Vegas.
At 186 plus miles per hour, trains will take passengers from Las Vegas, Nevada to Southern California in two hours and 10 minutes.
Twice as fast as the average drive time.
Brightline West broke ground in early 2024 and is expected to take approximately four years to build.
Now, this is not only a faster way to get there and, you know, you can hammer some drinks down or whatever.
I mean, it sounds like a pretty cool deal. It's a luxury train.
It has recliners, soft recliners that go all the way back.
It has big screens. It has large windows to where you can look out and see the desert or whatever is there.
It has food, drink. It's just like a big party.
And it's going to be a really neat thing and probably help a lot of people go to Vegas for a weekend from California.
All you got to do is get to L.A. and then you can get to Vegas without having having that long drive or anything else.
So, I mean, that's I like that idea a lot.
And I plan on doing that at some point after it's built.
So we'll see. I'm pretty sure the first couple of years is going to be sold out because this is such a novelty thing.
So and I'm pretty sure they'll have different tiers.
They haven't said this, but I'm thinking probably like you get first class, which is probably all pampered.
They clip your toenails, massage your scalp, rub your ass, whatever, and give you food and drink the whole time.
And you sit there and have a big old party.
And then there's probably the other end where, OK, I'm on here.
I got to walk up there in order to drink from the counter. Geez, there's a long line.
Oh, my gosh. You know, that kind of thing.
So anyhow, I like this idea a lot.
And I will partake in it at some point.
And another thing about this is it goes through the mountains, goes through the Sierra Nevada mountains, which are beautiful,
which is going to be a great scenery to go by in a bullet train.
You don't have to drive it. So you don't have to worry about driving the steep hills or nothing.
Sit in there, you hammer some drinks and you look at the mountains.
That sounds fantastic to me. And like I said, as soon as it's open and as soon as I can get in, I plan on doing this.
To me, that sounds like a really good time.
So and then you end up in Vegas. So, I mean, what's wrong with that?
Anyhow, I shall be there.
And I bet you a lot of you people there are raising your eyebrow going, oh, yeah, me too.
So the next thing I want to speak about is, you know, always make fun of Howard Stern
because he's just become such a like I said, I never really cared for him.
I thought a lot of his show was funny, but it wasn't necessarily him.
Don't get me wrong. He did have some funny stuff.
You know, he was funny on his own, but a majority of it was the people he hired around him were funny.
And I recently heard this another radio show talking about this.
And I guess Howard Stern went on there and said, if you're if you are going to vote for Donald Trump, he does not want you to listen to him.
Well, here's the deal.
I don't think anyone that's going to vote for Donald Trump is going to listen to you anyhow.
So you don't have to worry about it. So that's not a bold statement at all.
Actually, it's kind of a cowardly statement.
It's it's really, you know, and I'm not and I'm not defending Trump and I'm not saying anything like that at all.
What I'm saying is, is what gives this idiot a right to say anything at all?
Why should I believe him on anything? That guy?
I mean, I'm just I just think that he is just a filthy piece of crap.
In my opinion, I don't like him at all.
And I find it amusing that he thinks that he can preach to people after all the shit that he'd done and all the things that he did in the name of getting popular and in the name of making money.
And now he's trying to preach on a pulpit is absurd.
Give it up, asshole. Go away.
I'm just I'm fucking done with it.
So anyhow, now that I'm done with that.
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.
