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.
We Talk.
Jesus.
Our constant pursuit for a real knee-slapper. It's strange insults from an alien. Real hilarity.
Your face would make an onion cry.
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 post-apocalypse.
Homemade dye from plants are essential. The dyes can be used to mark locations on trees, even to color clothing or to be laid out to where footprints or paw prints could be left.
The dye can be placed on the ground around the perimeter of your dwelling, so if you have to leave, evidence will be present to assess the situation.
As much fun as an electric can opener to the scrotum. Two Deucebags and a Microphone.
And now, deep thoughts with Mark.
Does a straw have one hole? Or does it have two? I may never know.
Two Deucebags and a Microphone. The original podcast. Here we are. How are you, Rob?
I'm doing good. How are you, Mark?
I'm doing great. Thank you for joining us this lovely semi-chilly evening. It may not be where you're listening.
Semi-chilly?
We're going to have snow showers a half hour south of me tonight.
Down on I-44 corridor.
So you'll get probably 15 inches of snow, right?
Nah, we'll probably just get maybe a little bit of snow.
Nah, I'm joking. I'm making fun of the forecasters.
I know.
Hey, I had a pretty good day today. Topher and I went and did the Sports Bastards.
We could not do the Music Creeps, but you'll at least have a Sports Bastards on your desk in the morning.
So, if you choose.
Our potential sponsor, it is going to happen. He's getting his licensing and everything.
So that's...
I don't know.
Yeah, so that'll be cool. That's a good thing.
I'm also looking into a friend of mine at work. She was telling me about how TikTok and how her and some other people make money on TikTok.
So I'm going to start exploring that in the video options because TikTok is video.
A lot of people keep asking me if we're on TikTok.
I know. That's like the rage. So we're going to have to figure that out and we will.
And the thing is, it's not necessarily making money. We're never going to get rich off of this thing. We know this.
Yeah.
Okay. But we want to reach more people. We're doing great as we are. But the more people we reach, the better off we are.
I mean, you know, so and we believe in all of our products and we believe that they can reach higher quantity of people and we believe in ourselves.
So we're going to keep doing this little fucking this little thing that we're doing here and we're going to keep going and keep marching on.
So all these things are in the works and I'm very proud of how Rob, I and Topher have all progressed and all worked very hard to get where we are.
And I think every one of us has this passion and I think it's a beautiful thing. It is.
Yes, it is.
It is. It's such a great creative outlet. But not just that.
But if I hear so many people that go, man, you know, I was having a bad day and I listen to you guys and, you know, I enjoyed it.
You know, you made me think I laughed a little bit.
That is the best reward in the whole world. Having someone you know, or even someone you don't know, tell you, you know, I love this segment, man.
You connected with me on it. I agree with you.
Even when, you know, like I said, hate email goes to the front, even the hate emails we love. Hate emails are great because it means someone gave enough shit to call you a dumbass.
So, I mean, you know, that's a pretty good power if you think about it.
There's a lot of people I think are dumbasses, but I won't take the time to tell them that, you know.
That happened to mention something that was 40 minutes in. Yeah, I know.
I got to looking at that and I'm like, wait a minute. That was like our fourth segment.
And I get to look at it and I'm like, 42 minutes in. You have a habit of listening to that. I forgot his name.
But anyhow, I'm pretty sure he probably listened to the rebuttal. And if he listens to this, think about it.
OK, you hate us. He's probably sent back laughing his ass off.
Yeah, it might even be someone we know. Who knows?
I mean, I think it's some of them because some of the way that they're written, some of them know me just because of how they're, you know what I mean?
There are certain things that they put in there. It's like, wait a minute.
Wait a minute. So some people are just having fun.
Some people are jealous. Who knows?
You know, I had this email about, hey, you're making fun of us where I grew up at.
I'm like, yeah. Yeah, I am.
So, you know, I make fun of myself. I'm always called.
Listen to one of my one of my promos here that we put in our promos, not my our promos.
Mark is a dumbass. You know, everyone knows he's an idiot.
But you're listening to this idiot. I called myself an idiot.
OK, I'm making fun of myself.
So, you know, people need to really kind of calm down and just take things a little bit more lighter.
And even if someone does call you a dumbass directly.
So does that ruin your world? Is that what you're focusing in on?
This guy called me a dumbass, so I can't get past it.
I've been called dumbass so many times.
I find it funny. You know, I anyhow.
You know what? We could go down this whole spider hole.
I sit back and laugh about it because I'm the dumb country hick out of the three.
You know what? And you you wear you wear like a badge and it's awesome.
You're like, yes, I am. And you got anything else?
Yeah, I love it.
I love it like the Ozarks, man. Hey, much cuter than that.
Yeah. You know what? If anyone has a legitimate gripe, it's Rob.
So there you go. He don't care.
Oh, so, yeah. All right.
Well, I'm going to go ahead and start this shit show off with a little bit of stuff.
And we have some emails coming up. And again, I got corrected.
My memory is shit, dude.
And this is about to pass me on the beach drink.
I forgot. I forgot.
I swear.
I love it because they remember.
But then again, they're like they're like waiting in the bushes like a cobra.
As soon as I say something wrong, it didn't quite happen.
And I forgot it and made it up in my mind of what really happened or whatever.
Bam. I get an email right after going, hey, dumbass.
So anyhow, I love it.
It is very amusing how much people remember that I don't.
And it's always been like that. So anyhow.
It is. And I love it. And I love every second someone corrects me.
I love it when someone goes, dude, that's not how it happened.
You stupid ass. This is how it happened.
And then, you know, and then I think about it, I go, you know what? I think they're right.
So anyhow, Duncan, as in the doughnuts, people have launched a limited edition body wash
where their partners partners native home grooming products.
The whole idea is Duncan's favorite flavors are now scented body washes.
How you like that, Rob? Huh?
That fresh. I don't know about that.
The fresh doughnut smell all over you.
OK, anyhow, keep going. The flat. I would feel sorry for her.
You're right. You're right.
The flavors, at least for now, are strawberry frosted vanilla sprinkle and blueberry cobbler.
And finally, Boston cream.
You know, so now you can. Yeah, I know the Boston cream really sounds good, doesn't it?
Oh, yeah, that's one of my favorites. Me too.
Boston cream. Oh, man. Anything custardy.
OK, so now so now one can wash up and smell like a doughnut all day long without all those annoying calories.
So let's let's say you're not a doughnut fan, right?
But you still would like to enjoy a different type of body wash.
OK, you know, Haritos, the Mexican soda drink, right? Yeah.
They've teamed up with native skincare products to offer the soda flavors and body wash.
The flavors offered as of now are passion fruit, watermelon, mandarin and pineapple.
I love their mandarin. I've had their mandarin several times, and I think it is really, really good.
But this is Haritos. And, you know, they're they're the big stores and in the Mexican aisle and the and the Mexican specialty stores.
And they're really good soda. You know, so anyhow.
So, you know, all all the people that enjoy Haritos can but don't enjoy that annoying, annoying corn syrups or syrup can now do so in a body wash.
So you treat your skin without having to invest in triple extra large shirts. That's good.
So I'm still waiting on the McGrid body wash.
You know, the heavenly smell of ground pork assholes and lips with that delicious.
Yes, that delicious tangy sauce one can dream, Rob.
You know, could you imagine McGrid bringing for years?
I felt. Oh, my gosh. Yeah.
You go take a shower in the morning and all you smell is McRib.
But I mean, while we're speaking about McDonald's, they're actually bringing back their chicken snack wrap.
You know, I could do whatever I read that.
Yeah, I could do without the body wash for that particular item, honestly.
What I'd be what I would like is how about a frozen Coke body wash?
Or even better, how about a cookies and cream McFlurry body wash?
There you go. Yeah.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Hang on. Hang on. Hang on.
I got it. How about a Casey Burn and Senate body wash?
Oh, my God. I hear angels and harps, dude.
Yeah, you could do regular extra spicy.
All right. I got another one. How about a Nikki six body wash?
It smells fake. Or an Aussie body wash smells like old man.
Or finally, how about a deal Senate body wash?
It smells like dirt. Too soon? I could go for either the latter two, but Nikki, no.
Yeah, it smells fake. Anyhow.
You ain't gonna pick up any women smelling like that.
No. Me and Davey were talking. We went to the wash show.
And you know what? I might as well get into a little bit of that and then we'll get into a couple of your stories.
But we went to the Wasp show in Wichita.
And for people that don't know, Wasp is an old shock metal band.
And they used to do stuff like throw raw meat at the audience and have a torture rack with women on it naked, usually.
And they also lit up their Wasp sign and fire with clubs of fire.
They had six, seven inch stilettos and they jumped around on stage like crazed animals and leather and all leather everything.
They were like one of the most violently crazy bands ever.
The PMRC solely targeted them and went after them adamantly and they lost.
But we went to go see them and I got front row and I got a lot of really good footage and it was a good show.
Because the one I saw in Tulsa, I didn't know it, but Blackie was hurting. He had back surgery after that tour.
And he's fully healed now. And he did an excellent show, him and his band. His band is really good.
Armored Saint did good too, but you can tell the difference in between bands.
One is a good band and one is way up there. And Wasp of course is the way up there band.
And it was a great show. It lasts for over an hour and a half, probably closer to two hours.
But what they did was they did the first album, which is The Torture Never Stops, but everybody calls it just Wasp.
But at the bottom of that album, and I think you remember this Rob, it said in small letters, The Torture Never Stops.
That is the actual name of that album, but everybody calls it album one. So that's what he did on this tour, Wasp album one.
And he did it all in its entirety. The first one was I Want To Be Somebody, which was very odd. That's usually the closer.
He did that first and he did them all in coordination with If You're Listening to the Album.
And he said when he got this, he had a really good cool thing when he came out there, Blacky, he just comes out there, hey, yeah, you know.
They did I Want To Be Somebody and then he came and he started talking.
He did this several times where he just talked to the audience like person to person kind of.
And he goes, yeah, he goes, when I had the idea to come up with this live first album live, he said, I wasn't sure about it.
So I called promoters that I knew and he said he talked about 50 of them. He said 49 of them. Great, great.
Do it. The 50th one, he said, he goes, yeah, he goes, Blacky, I love that idea.
But are you going to tell me that you're going to do your finishing song first? I Want To Be Somebody.
You're going to do that. And it's not going to be an encore. And he said, yeah, you know, I went there and I said, you know what?
And he goes, yeah, I want to do that. And he goes, well, OK, OK, let me ask you this then.
And I think he used the Beatles. And, you know, he said, you know, so the Beatles, their final song is going to be like Sergeant Peppers or something like, you know.
And he goes, yeah, he goes, you're right. And then, you know, Blacky's a born again Christian.
So I didn't know he was going to cuss, but he did. And I forgot the example. It was a Beatles song, but I forgot what song he goes.
You mean to tell me that the Beatles are going to do this song at the first and they're not going to do that as the encore.
And Blacky goes, yeah, he goes, you're right. You're making sense.
Then he looked up and he goes, we never fucking do what we're supposed to anyhow.
So he went on with the album and anyhow. And then at the end, he had like a five song medley that ended that ended in Wild Child,
which is a very popular song, one of the most popular songs ever. Big radio hit even for back then. And it went over very well.
They redacted Animal. I Fuck Like a Beast. OK. And I figured it out. He doesn't mind saying the word fuck because he said that. OK.
He's a born again Christian, kind of like me. I think you can cuss a little bit and hopefully it's OK. I guess I'll find out one day. Right.
So OK. So he cusses. I know why he quit doing that song and why is redacted because the playlist that they have online that people have taken pictures of.
It has Animal Fuck Like a Beast. Markered out. The reason it's marked out is because misogynistic.
It is. Mel Pig. You know what I mean? Yeah, that's why. That's why he quit doing it. I'm certain.
And it's not that it says I fuck like a beast. It's because people took it as misogynistic.
And at today's times you have to kind of do stuff like that, you know, even though the song is it's it's it's a fucking metal song, man.
You know, you know, it's fun. It's a song called Animal I Fuck Like a Beast.
You'd think that's going to be poetry, you know. So anyhow, they redacted it.
But it was still a very good concert. And Blackie was he was so thankful.
I really enjoyed this because under his breath, he kept going. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Davey and I both noticed and we and we talked about it afterwards. I had this dirt next to me get pissed off because I jumped up on the front.
And then he starts trying to shove me. And normally I would punch somebody in the fucking face. Right.
But I'm getting older and I wanted to watch this concert. So I turn around. I go, is there an issue here?
He goes, yeah. He goes, you just jumped up and pushed me away. I go, this is general admission. OK.
This means wherever you land is wherever you land.
So then he started fucking making comments to his wife and shit. And I turn around and I go, hey, look at me.
I go, do you maybe want to call a truce and maybe enjoy this concert instead of being pissed off?
Don't you think that would be a better idea than us pushing each other all night?
It looks down. He looks up and I thought he was going to get dickish. He goes, you know what? You're right. You're right.
And I go, hey, I'm sorry if I offended you and you think I cut in or whatever. I apologize.
Can we enjoy the concert together now? And he shook my hand. He said yes.
And then some guy next to us started to fight with another guy.
And we looked at each other and said, we're not those stupid asses. They both got kicked out.
So yeah, I mean, we're not as young as we used to be either.
No, before I would have been like, fuck you, pussy. This time I was like, no, you know what?
If the guy wants to fight, he's going to find someone else to fight. But he turned out to be really cool.
And like I thought, he was a guy like me just trying to enjoy a show of a band he used to look up, you know, watch.
And that's all it was. And he was pissed off because he thought I crowded him and we got the record straight and he was fine.
And him and I got along great after that. And I was very proud of it. Even Davey said something.
He goes, oh, man, he goes, I remember the old Mark. I thought you're going to fucking punch him.
And I go, no, man. He goes, wow. He goes, I'm, you know, I'm I'm like really happy with that, man.
You know, you kind of like changed. And then someone cut me off in traffic and I flip him off and threatened to kill them.
So anyhow, that's because you're in your car. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I could do that. I can get away.
So anyhow, and I and I didn't you know, I didn't flip him off.
He just honked at him and kind of did the what the fuck and then they kind of did the what the fuck back and we went on.
It wasn't a big deal. You know how it is. So anyhow, it was a great concert. I don't know what else to say.
It was fantastic. The stage show was good. They they have a bunch of different backgrounds.
They had this big screen, both footage that was so good. They show like Chris Holmes.
Remember what a madman he was? Yeah. And he used to just destroy guitars and amps on stage.
They had like a collage of him doing that in different arenas of throwing the guitar through a fucking amp where he's taking the amp.
He's a huge man. He take the amp over his head, a big Marshall and just fucking smash it on the stage.
And I was just like, I cannot believe I used to do stuff like that.
And, you know, and like, you know, this is how come I have tinnitus in my ears.
Well, that my old job. But, you know, you know, it's because I used to be there.
No earplugs, front row going, yeah, fucking kill the amp, kill the amp.
So it was it was just fantastic. Davey and I stayed up till three thirty four in the morning talking about old times.
Everything, man, we just had the time of our lives. Davey is going to come on a podcast.
He's going to come on a podcast. He said that he will get us kicked off if he says stuff he really feels.
So I said, how about if we do some music or something? He said, OK, so he may not be quite the Davey that you're used to.
But it's going to be it's going to be very entertaining because Davey is a guy that should have been in radio.
Here's a go. Davey is the guy he could do every voice you could ever imagine.
He could do it on the fly. He's funnier than hell. I mean, he is a natural for that type of of that type of talent, that type of wit, that type of everything.
So it's going to be interesting to hear him on a podcast. And no, I'm not comparing this to radio.
And if people say that, we know it's not a radio station. We are not getting paid for this. We know.
Trust me. Every time I look at my bank account, I know.
So anyhow, Rob, we turn to you.
All righty. Ringo Starr and his All-Star band will perform in Alabama next summer.
OK. Ringo Starr is 84.
Yeah, I knew he had to been up there. I mean, I think Paul McCartney is 84 too, isn't he?
Yeah, yeah, they're about. Yeah, they're right there together.
The Beatles legendary drummer announced on Monday new tour dates beginning June 12th, 2025.
Well, Starr band lineup will once again feature Steve Lucas, Colin Hay, Warren Ham, Hammett Stewart, Greg Bissonnette and Buck Johnson.
That's fine. Yeah, go ahead. I'm sorry.
Tour's final show will hit Mercedes Benz Ampli-Thator in Tuscaloosa on Tuesday, June 24th, 2025.
Get this shit though. This is what I'm impressed with.
OK. Tickets will go on sale Friday, December 13th at 10 a.m. You can purchase at the venue box office or via Ticketmaster.
Prices will range from thirty five dollars to one hundred and twenty five dollars.
That's amazing. Yes, that's yeah, that's why I want to read this.
And those fucking Eagles that don't even do their stuff live allegedly, but I'm pretty sure.
Thirty five to one hundred and twenty five. Wow, that is excellent.
You know, I used to I don't know, everyone kind of bagged on Ringo Starr.
Oh, he's lucky the drummer quit and all that stuff. He's talentless.
You know what? He's a good drummer and he was what the Beatles needed.
But above all, he is fucking cool. He's just cool.
That's awesome. Like recreating that picture of the teenagers that were like, you know, Hammin it for him and all that stuff.
I mean, he's a real guy. Anyhow, go ahead. I'm sorry.
Oh, and he makes a bad ass caveman in movies.
I'm glad you brought that up. Yes, he does. Look it up. Look it up. Yeah. Google it. OK.
If you know, you know all that good shit. OK. But if you don't know, Google it. You'll see what I mean.
Man, dude, that's awesome. Is it anywhere around us?
Anywhere close, anywhere reasonable?
It does say the tour will also stop in New York, Pennsylvania, Florida and North Carolina.
OK, Tuscaloosa. It's not going to be a very long tour. Well, he is 84.
Oh, yeah. It's only 12 days, June 12th to June 24th.
His band like Steve Lukather and all those guys. That's solid. That is solid. Yeah. Cool.
I would like to see that because from what I understand, he doesn't just do Beatles stuff.
They have like sing alongs. They do all kinds of stuff. I mean, it's just like a free for all.
You know, they have a set list and everything, but it's not all the stuff you think it is from what I understand.
And I also understand that he has a lot of stories.
So that sounds awesome. Wow. Thank you, Rob.
We everybody appreciates that, I'm sure, because I'm pretty sure there's a lot of Beatles fans out there like us.
So, OK, you want to take our first break? I'm going to come back with some emails. Yeah, sounds good.
Because I love getting corrected all the time. So yeah, OK, I love listening to it.
People nail me to the fucking wall, dude. I'll be back. We'll be back.
The about what's 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. OK, it's post-apocalypse.
And you're walking down the barren wasteland that used to be a city.
You find an old can of beans lying in the middle of the road, but you do not have a can opener.
What you do then is you find a patch of concrete. You rub the top of the can for five minutes.
Then you go to the middle of the can and squeeze it and it should pop right open.
Now it's time for pick up lines from a loser. Can you take me to the hospital? I just broke my leg falling for you.
Harambe used to call into our original show, Two Dipches and a cheap Radio Shack candy recorder.
Harambe stopped calling into our original show, Two Dipches and a cheap Radio Shack candy recorder.
Why did Harambe stop calling into our original show, Two Dipches and a cheap Radio Shack candy recorder?
Harambe was senselessly murdered because some idiot could not watch her children properly while looking at her phone.
Sadly, Harambe does not listen to any show anymore. Sorry, Harambe.
And now, deep thoughts with Mark.
If a fly was de-winged in a horrible accident, would that make the fly then a walk?
Hmph. I may never know.
Next up, Things Overheard in Hell.
Dishwater has the top ten spots on Billboard Hot 100.
Hey, look. I think we found land. Oh my god, I think we're safe.
Oh no! It's the island of horrible jokes.
What did the zero say to the eight? That belt looks good on you.
Two douchebags and a microphone on Mark.
And I am Rob.
Well, like promised, you want to get into some emails here?
Let's do it. I always love it.
Well, this is one that's nailing my ass again.
Okay, Mark, you left out the anal probe on drinks that you would serve to chicks at Buzzer Beach.
He is exactly right. I forgot about the anal probe. I remembered the Papsmer on the beach. I forgot about the anal probe.
So, hell, I remember that mixture that you and Mark the bartender came up with. Yes, yes, yes.
He was something else. I think he's still there, actually.
It was made of Jaeger Meister, McCormick vodka, Old Crow with a dash of Bloody Mary mix.
It was horrible, dude.
Oh, damn.
Well, what happened is that... That turns my stomach just thinking about it.
At that particular time, it was like trendy for chicks to come up and go, hey, buy us a drink.
Okay? So guys would be like, oh, hell, this means I'm getting lucky.
No, no, not necessarily. It just means you're buying them a drink.
Usually they get a couple, then they move on to another sucker.
So we're like, you know what? We'll buy you a drink, but you got to drink what we give you.
So naturally they go, yes. So that drink was worse than Papsmer on the beach, and it was.
That was also the drink that the chick hit Mac in the head with, a shot glass, not the Papsmer drink.
Kenny in Westport. Yes, it was the anal probe, and you're right.
Papsmer on the beach was a secondary one that we used because we got so much heat about the anal probe.
The anal probe really, really... I mean, one chick threatened to hit me in the face.
Like I said, one of them threw the shot glass and hit Mac in the forehead, left a big bump.
We had people complaining to the bouncers about it and stuff like that.
They served me something nasty and all that stuff.
Then it got to where Mark didn't want to do it very much because it probably was interfering with his tips.
So yeah, it was the anal probe, and yes, I did forget that, and yes, I'm sorry, Kenny, and I know who you are, Kenny, and thank you.
So, all right. Mark and Rob, you guys are letting us down.
Us douchebag fans are getting ripped off. You all went from four shows to one a week.
Come on, do at least one more per week. I'm not into sports or music.
The douches are the podcast for me, Terry Rollins, Chicago area.
We're getting in it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just give us some time. We said that from the start.
We'll add some more. It's just Rob has some stuff he has to do.
Man, on Tuesdays, I podcast for like five, six hours, and then I do stuff in between.
And I mean, you know, it's not that easy, believe it or not.
I do preparation for this stuff, and I write a lot of this stuff out and come up with some ideas.
There's a lot of homework involved. There is.
Yeah, I spend all week getting to this one day to do this.
And I mean, well, we're doing the we're doing the music creeps Thursday night,
but it's because Topher had an appointment.
So we only got to do like three and a half hours and then we're going to do this.
We're doing this right now. So we're getting there.
I also got to get to where integrate more other things, too.
It's kind of hard to explain, but it's going to make it easier on me coming up with stuff and everyone else.
So anyhow, we're getting there. Is that about what we say? Right.
Yeah, we are. Yeah, we do.
My my life's starting to clear out a little bit.
I got bunched up, life hit me and I had to deal with it, you know.
And now, yeah, I'm ready to I'm ready to rock and roll.
All right. So they're here here when the time is right.
You're going to have one more added.
So, I mean, you're going to have more shows than ever.
I mean, if you don't like sports and music, that's fine.
But Topher and I do a lot of non-sports stuff and we also do a lot of non-music stuff.
We mix it in there. I mean, you may like it. Just give it a chance.
Just listen to it. So anyhow.
So Terry Rollins, thank you. Appreciate you.
Yeah, I mean, you obviously are a fan. We love you. Thank you.
Mark, you need more parody bits and segments on both the sports bastards and the music creeps.
I know this. I cross shows. Yeah.
Yeah, I cross some of them over, but I'm not going to do that.
I'm not going to put a majority of like things overheard in hell, strange insults from an alien, post-apocalypse tips.
I'm not going to put them on these other shows.
One of them is going to be sports themed stuff and one of them is going to be music themed parody bits.
It's just I just think it works better like that.
Do you agree, Rob? Yeah, yeah, it does. Yeah, we got our stuff here.
We're going to have our stuff there. I'm getting there.
I mean, we just had these two shows not that long ago.
I mean, we added the sports bastards at the beginning of the season.
Yeah, I know. But we added the sports, the music creeps.
We're getting there. I have a few. Yeah, like three or four weeks in.
Yeah, yeah. So we're getting there. And thank you again.
I don't take this as people flipping us off and telling us to fuck off.
I take it as they like what we're doing and they give a shit. So thank you.
And what was your name? Oh, they didn't leave a name. OK.
Well, whoever whoever you are, we are also getting to that too.
All right. Next one. Hey, guys, it's great to hear Topher on the podcast again.
I love his perspective and his points of view.
I hope you can do just a regular podcast sometime with him like before.
Jake and Casey, we do do. You've heard our stuff, right?
You've heard our music creeps and sports bastards, right?
Yeah. OK, we get into other stuff, don't we?
Yeah, you do. Yeah.
Well, I mean, when the NFL season is over with,
we're going to be forced to come up with something else.
You might get a regular podcast then where we do subjects like here.
So just wait. Everything changes.
The NFL season will be over here in a couple of months.
And after we're celebrating another three, Pete, we will go to something else.
So and it may just be a regular podcast. So, you know,
just hang out. We'll figure out something.
So, OK. Next, avocado is a Mexican kale, overrated and pretty much horrible.
I would rant about that if you get time.
Jen and Montrose. OK. OK.
Jen and Montrose, number one, I don't believe anyone from Montrose anymore.
Jen is from somewhere else. And he who even knows if their name's Jen.
OK. Yeah. Avocado is a Mexican kale.
I think so. I don't like it. I think it's tasteless.
OK. Once it's made into guacamole, it's all right.
I'm not. So, yeah, it'd be like kale. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. It's kind of a bland blah that everyone freaks out on.
I agree. You add the other ingredients and it gives it flavor.
Yeah. It's pretty decent. I agree. I agree with Jen. Yeah.
All right. Yeah, I do, too. Avocado is a Mexican kale.
So here, let's find a gavel here. OK. I don't have one. Hang on. Hang on.
Let me find something here. Oh, a flashlight. OK. The gavel is OK.
There it is. Proclamation. Avocado is a Mexican kale.
Stat. Finish. Done. All right.
And finally, Mark, haven't heard anything on the Alex Van Halen book yet.
Just mentioning Trevor in South Central Cass County,
rural area W Highway South, the Freeman Division.
Let me say that again.
Trevor in South Central Cass County, rural area W Highway South, the Freeman Division.
What the fuck?
No, no, I like this guy. I like this guy.
Um, Trevor, I'm getting to I'm writing stuff out about it.
It's going to take a minute. OK, it's a book that I'm doing a report on. OK.
I've got all this other stuff. Come on. Believe me, I will do it.
And I'm going to do it on this podcast and the music creeps to what?
Is this part of a militia? I think so.
Or is this part of our fan base?
Um, oh, both. I'm saying both.
Damn it, I crumpled up. I crumpled up the paper. I had to say this again.
Damn it. I don't know where I threw it. Fuck. OK.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, fine. I would save it and frame it.
I'm going to find it in that pile there and I'm going to frame that son of a bitch.
It's going to go next to the chief's mind or something. So
Trevor in South Central Cass County, W Highway.
Yeah, fuck it. Anyhow. OK. All right.
That is the end of the email. So, Rob, we turn to you once again.
I love the emails. They are my favorite segment now.
People come up with I know we get bastard stuff and all that.
Shit. These people. I love our fans. I love our asshole.
I do, too. The people listen are funnier than us. I swear.
Anyhow, go ahead, Rob. OK.
Well, I'm going to bring you one of my stories. It's out there. OK.
Dogs living near the Chernobyl nuclear disaster have reportedly mutated a new superpower
in which they have become immune to radiation, heavy metals and pollution, according to the Daily Mail.
OK. Scientists took blood samples from one hundred and sixteen stray dogs
living near the Chernobyl exclusion zone, which found that two different populations
living in the surrounding area were both genetically distinct from others,
having adapted to exposure to the toxic environment long term.
Chernobyl, a nuclear power plant located in Ukraine with the site of the worst nuclear disaster in history
on April 26th, 1986, and has since been used to contain nuclear waste.
Humans were evacuated from Chernobyl and its surrounding areas to avoid extreme levels of radiation
while estimated 900 stray dogs, many of whom were descendants of pets, left behind during the mass evacuation,
managed to live in the Chernobyl exclusion zone.
Wow. So these dogs lived in this nuclear disaster. And they mutated.
Yeah. Yeah. Now. Yeah. Now they're immune.
OK. In 2022, International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Rafael Grafi told reporters
that former nuclear power station has reached abnormal radiation levels amid Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
The radiation level, I would say, is abnormal, Grafi said,
and the United Nations commemorated the 36th anniversary of the disaster,
which stemmed from a flawed reactor designed, operated by improperly trained personnel via the mirror.
There have been some movements when the levels have gone up because of the movement of the heavy equipment
that Russian forces were bringing here and when they left.
Huh. So I guess bringing the tanks and all that heavy equipment was shaking the ground and it was raising the reactors.
Wow. Yeah.
But these dogs keep going living through it. Yeah. Because they're immune to it. That's weird.
That's weird how something can get immune to something like that. It really is.
Wow. Would that be cause for tests for humans?
Could be. Could be. They really don't know what radiation does completely to people, honestly, especially a meltdown like Chernobyl.
You know, Chernobyl, you still have the Geiger counter over there going off the hook.
It's a place that radiation is such a weird thing. It's really hard to describe, and I don't know it all either.
I don't think anyone really completely understands it.
When you walk into that area, if you do, they have to play music over loudspeakers because there's so much despair there.
Radiation is not just what it does to you physically. It does what it does to you mentally. It is a very crazy thing.
So Chernobyl was a meltdown, and you had all this radiation go into the atmosphere. And they don't know what it all does.
They know some of it, and they know it can be very bad. But a lot of this stuff, they have no idea.
Future effects, cancer rates are so much higher in an area like that.
You know, there's places over in Japan where they had the tsunami, the same thing.
You know, birth rates, non-existence, sterilization of people, cancer rates, all this stuff.
So it is undetermined exactly what all radiation does to people, and it's not good, too.
Wow. Thank you for that story, Rob. That was pretty interesting. I can say that.
Yeah. Yeah. So, all right. We'll take our second break, and we're going to come back with different words of the year,
according to different dictionaries. Sound good?
Sounds good.
All right. All right. We'll be right back.
Your mama's so fat, she went out in high heels and struck oil.
Tomorrow morning, while grinding your coffee beans for your double mocha latte, remember to not get your genitals caught in the grinder.
It really hurts. Who can afford plastic surgery? Stay safe, everyone.
Jam X. What the hell happened? You were the generation of change.
You never wanted to be one of them. At the feet. Spoke for you.
Muck the man. Muck the system. What the hell happened?
The generation of angst, the generation of noncompliance, is now buying a boat.
You're really fed up until someone dangled a dollar near you.
Great job, Exers. Everything's ruined.
Two douchebags and microphone in an effort to keep everything fresh. We offer you first world problems.
Oh, shit. Look at that drive-thru line. Surely wouldn't expect me to actually have to go in.
This sucks. Please remember to go to Cole's dressing room, wait five minutes, and scream,
Hey, there's no toilet paper in here!
Ho ho ho. This is Crotch the Old Saint Prick. I'm the guy that comes in after Christmas and douses all your dreams and hopes.
Ho ho ho. Oh, well lookie here. My first letter is from Little Timmy from Akron, Ohio.
It says, Dear Crotch the Old Saint Prick, I would love to have a new bicycle.
Well, Little Timmy, I have a poem for you. It goes,
Roses are red, violets are blue. You're not getting dick, so fuck you. Ho ho ho.
Two douchebags and microphone on the Mark portion.
I'm up. Um, real quick. Hi Grandma Opal. Hi Jimmy. Hi Ricky.
Hi Grandma. Hi Jimmy. Hi Ricky. How many weeks do we have? One or two left?
Next week is it. I hope we hear from them.
So, alright, we will or we won't. But, as agreed, we will say hi to Ricky.
Yes, yeah, because Ricky did protest. So, Ricky, thank you for listening.
We hope Grandma Opal's okay, and we hope Jimmy is okay, and we hope they answer us,
because we would still love to say hello to them on every podcast.
So, okay, here are some of the words of the years and what dictionary they came from,
and some of the reasons.
Polarization was the most recognized dictionary, Merriam-Webster's Word of the Year for 2024.
And this is because how polarizing our election cycle is.
The whole world literally is glued, not just the United States.
Everybody is glued to see what the power of the world is going to do for the next four years.
And polarization, you heard Polaroid, right? The word Polaroid was coming from polarization.
And what that means is, it's like a focus, like a camp put down,
like people cannot stop viewing, looking, thinking about, watching. It's polarizing.
And our election cycle and our politicians are polarizing not only to us, but the rest of the world.
Some of it is shock, some of it is what's going to happen now, and some of it is fear.
So, yeah, yeah, I get how polarizing Merriam-Webster's dictionary came out with polarization
as the Word of the Year, because I think that they hit it straight on.
That is the one that should be the Word of the Year.
And Merriam-Webster is the most recognized dictionary in the world. So, yes.
The next one, Oxford, which is the next step down, but Oxford's dictionary holds a lot of clout, too.
So, their one is Brain Rod. Brain Rod I agree with because Brain Rod is all this mindless garbage and drivel
that comes from the Internet that just fills your brain full of garbage. Just crap. And it's everywhere.
You know, you fill this in...
Yeah, like most of the stories I read for this show.
Yeah, and most of the emails and all that. No, I love the emailers.
The stuff that I don't share with you guys.
Yeah, it's Brain Rod stuff. It just takes up space and it doesn't mean anything and it will never mean anything.
And I get it. Oxford, yeah, I do agree with Brain Rod. It is one of the Words of the Year for 2024
because more and more we have our attention span divided by garbage.
I mean, whether it's watching dumb videos on TikTok of someone in a mouse costume eating cheese or something,
you know, it's true. People are constantly looking for that entertainment where they're at.
It doesn't matter if you're by the side of a creek or if you're in a high-rise or if you're in a swimming pool.
Wherever you're at, you're constantly looking for instant entertainment on the go right then in a car, everything.
At work, everything. So Brain Rod, I think, is a very aptly word for 2024
because I think we see more Brain Rod material than ever. Do you think so?
If it wasn't for Brain Rod, we wouldn't exist.
Exactly. We're one of your entertainment choices. Yeah.
And thank you, KCLive.com, for putting us in your entertainment section. We appreciate that a lot.
Thank you. Thank you.
Oxford's Word of the Year for 2024, they have a couple, is slop.
So it is recurring. It is referring to low quality, inauthentic, or inaccurate online content,
which is another great one, too. You know, fake news, all the stuff that people know and the catchphrases that go on right now,
all leads to slop. Slop is the drivel in garbage that I was referring to that's filling your brain and making it Brain Rod.
Slop is the stuff that consists of what turns into your Brain Rod.
And I agree. Slop is everywhere and it's just like it's inaccurate, low quality, inauthentic garbage.
All online content. It's like those, oh, what do you call those, those hooks or whatever, click baits.
Yeah, click baits. Yeah. Andy Reid sends clear message to the NFL and it's nothing.
Or Patrick Mahomes warns Travis Kelsey. It's always stuff like that.
It's polarizing people that always turn on people's names like Travis Kelsey or whoever, Tom Brady or something.
And they take advantage of this and act like they said something really crazy or there's some sort of a feud going on.
Then you click on it and it's nothing. So, yeah, I agree with that.
Cambridge, which is another fairly prestigious dictionary, is manifest.
And manifest is pretty much what you know manifest to be.
And I think the reason they did was because one thing leads to another anymore and it manifests another thing.
So do you see what I mean there on the word manifest? Yeah, yeah, I do.
Yeah. So I get that. I'm not so high and keen on manifest, but I do get it.
I'm not going to waste a lot of time with it. I think people know what manifest means.
And yeah, I get it. I don't necessarily agree with it being the word of the year, but I guess they had to come up with one too, right?
Right, right. All right. Dictionary.com's where the year is demure.
Demure. Yeah, I agree with it. Demure is like actions of how you handle something.
Yeah, demure is it's true. They do a lot of TikTok videos and stuff like that on demure.
They have someone called like the demure woman or so and she makes fun of people on a plane, how they all get up.
And it looks it's it's like all like circus, circus, a lay or something like that. Everyone jumps up at once and starts scrambling and going to the baggage bin and trying to get that extra second in before anyone else.
And she's right. And it's demure kind of explaining how you should act, but how people really act.
So and also making fun of everybody. So demure kind of came from there.
And I could see how dictionary.com because it is an online only outlet. Yes, demure would probably be it right there.
The next one is brat. It's Collins dictionary word of the year. They're not nearly as popular, but I get it.
And brat is because of how people handle stuff.
It's how it's this watered down version of parenting that ends in bratty behavior. It means people are doing stupid shit and they're brats.
And I agree with it. And I think Collins came up with a really good one.
So brat is basically what you think it is. A brat. Only they're referring to teenage or young adults being brats.
I agree with it. I think it's true. I think it's accurate. And I think it happens a lot.
And finally, future is a 2024 Hawaii word of the year selected by University of Hawaii, Manoa.
So future is because they think that they're from what I understand from what I read, from what I've seen is they have a clear cut plan of Hawaii
that they think that they're that they're going to do to improve stuff, to improve tourism, to improve capital, to improve prices.
And that's how come Hawaii University of Hawaii's Hawaii's word is future is because they are looking to the future to improve things.
So why that was included in on this, I have no idea because it's not a well-known dictionary. It's not even a dictionary.
So anyhow, there you go. Words of the year by all the major dictionaries and University of Hawaii for who knows why.
Anyhow, Rob, we turn to you.
All right. A veteran law enforcement officer from Colorado has resigned after her secret side career in the adult film industry was revealed,
posing a deeply personal story of financial survival and difficult choices.
Oh, wow. Yeah.
Shannon, 44, a 21 year veteran of the sheriff's office, opened up about the devastating financial pressures that drove her to make an unconventional decision.
I was drowning financially, she told CBS News, explaining her brief foray into adult film production.
Her financial nightmare began with a catastrophic hailstorm in June, 2023 that caused five hundred thousand dollars in damage to her home.
Adding to her troubles, her insurance refused to cover the expenses.
And skyrocketing interest rates tripled, her adjustable rate mortgage pushing her forward toward foreclosure.
Facing mounting bills, debt collectors and seemingly insurmersible financial challenges, she made a controversial choice.
I found a legal, lucrative way to support my family and save our home, she stated, revealing she participated in approximately six adult film scenes to generate income.
The county sheriff's office launched an internal investigation after discovering her secondary employment.
She acknowledged that she violated department policies by not seeking prior approval for her work in the adult film industry.
I knew it was against policy and could be considered leading a double life.
Despite her difficult decision, she emphasized the professional nature of her brief stint in the adult film industry.
She had faced no coercion or pressure, she said, noting that her husband supported her choice during the financial crisis.
I get it.
She had to get, you know, I mean, she was going upside down and everything.
I don't have, I don't have what I don't get is why didn't the husband step up?
Say, no, babe, I can't let you do that.
If anybody's going to do porn, it's going to be me.
I will take one for the team.
Damn it.
Well, you know what?
I agree with that, but there probably wasn't a market.
I had to take it.
I didn't imagine I didn't think you're going to take it there.
I think you're going to take it somewhere else.
But that was great.
Yeah.
You know what?
Sometimes you got to step up and be a man.
Right.
Yeah.
You got to take care of that.
I commend that.
I commend that gentleman for considering it.
I can.
Yeah.
Honestly.
Yeah.
I mean, especially being a police officer, knowing they could get her in trouble.
Yes.
I mean, I get it, man.
You got to live.
You got to eat.
You got to have a house.
It does not bother me in the least.
People are willing to pay for it.
I mean, I'm also a guy that says, you know what?
Prostitution needs to be a little bit more legal and a little bit not just...
There's got to be stipulations like everything.
But at least you could monitor it and people may not be getting someone who's just been
jacking needles.
You know what I mean?
And there won't be hopefully so many drug addicts on the street fucking blowing guys
for money and stuff like that.
Right?
If you had a little bit more monitor, maybe you could control some of that and maybe help
some people.
But yeah, I don't have a problem with her doing that because like I said, man, you know
what?
It doesn't matter.
You got to live, you got to eat, you got to find a way to do it.
Right?
So yeah, there's people like me something to do.
Yes, absolutely.
And let's face it.
If most men didn't have...
Yeah, I'm looking at the picture of her.
Okay.
Just say it.
Oh, okay.
We'll all have to take a look too.
But I got it like this.
Okay.
Most men would have done porn a long time ago if you didn't have to cut your teeth with
gay porn.
Agreed?
Yes.
So there you go.
Yeah, it's kind of like paying the pied piper.
It's like, yeah, yeah, you can do porn.
Well, you got to start out doing this.
What?
Yeah, yeah.
You start out doing this.
Okay, I'm out.
So all right.
Allegiant Airlines is a smaller airline, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, they're not nearly...
They're not even as big as Spirit, which blows.
And I think they're going to bankruptcy.
I think they're going to bankruptcy and my dealings with them is I absolutely 100% agree
that they should go bankrupt.
They suck, in my opinion.
And if that's true, I think it is.
Allegiant is a smaller airline.
And to give you an example, it has big planes, okay?
And it has, you know, Boeing's 747 Max's and stuff like that, kind of like Southwest, okay?
But they're much smaller.
They actually operate here in Kansas City out of the old downtown airport, which is
a national airport, not an international.
You remember the old downtown airport right across the river?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They operate out of there.
I used to pass it every day.
Oh, yeah, that's right.
You told me, yeah, when you worked up north.
Yes, okay.
They're a smaller airline, but they're doing something pretty cool here that I like.
Allegiant will launch 44 new routes in the U.S. between February and June of 2025, the
largest expansion in its history, according to its press release.
The major growth includes the addition of three cities to its route network, which will
be Gulf Shores, Alabama, Colorado Springs, Colorado, and Columbia, South Carolina.
I really like this because Gulf Shores, it's really hard to get in there.
They have a very small airport in the panhandle of Florida.
I think it might be the Destin area.
They don't have that many flights.
It's really hard to get in there.
If you're going from Kansas City, probably the most efficient way is to drive.
People with back problems like me don't like to drive that far.
It would be great to have an option like this to Gulf Shores if you wanted to go to that
part of the country, the Emerald Coast.
So I like that.
Gulf Shores International Airport, Colorado Springs Airport, which is a national-like
downtown, and Columbia Metropolitan Airport will be the newest airports to join Allegiance
Network in accordance with our database.
American Delta United operated at Columbia, like Colorado Springs, adding Southwest as
well.
White Gulf Shores has no scheduled flights.
Anyhow, but not from Kansas City.
So I think we might get a few from here to those.
So anyhow, Allegiance has also added the Boeing 737 MAX 8200 last September 9th, as announced
by the October U.S. report, an October 20 flight G42833 from Orlando, Sanford to Greenville,
Spartanburg.
The airline had planned to incorporate 12 Boeing 737 MAX 8200s this year.
So they're starting to pick up a little bit of steam, and I wish them luck because we
do need some other options.
As far as Southwest and those other places going to Gulf Shores, they say they do, but
I don't count one every six months being an actual route.
So anyhow, Rob, we turn to you.
All right.
I don't do much traveling, but I'm going to give you some travel tips.
How's that?
Sounds good.
And I was speaking about airplane trips, so there we go.
All hand in hand because that's what we do.
We compliment each other, right?
Yeah, without even thinking about it.
Without even thinking about it, that's what we do.
It's actually kind of scary if you think about it.
Yeah, yeah, but we like scary.
Okay.
How do you pack for a vacation?
Like most of us, you pack with what you think you need as well as those must haves.
We also pack for dress codes we must contend with, like restaurants requiring a jacket
or not allowing bathing suit cover-ups.
Even some tourist locations like churches require covered shoulders.
Research is our friend, especially when it comes to traveling outside of the United States.
So here's a tip for you.
According to the LifeWell Cruised website, if any of your go-to items or must-have favorites
are camouflage or military-style looking in any way,
you will most likely receive a stiff fine or worse.
Local law enforcement in these countries has no problem even arresting you if you're donning that,
especially if you show disrespect along the way.
And here is a list of 15 countries.
Antigua,
Bahamas,
Barbados,
Dominica,
Grenada,
Jamaica,
Nigeria,
Oman,
St. Lucia,
St. Vincent and the Grenadines,
South Africa,
Trinidad and Tobago,
Uganda,
Zambia,
and Zimbabwe.
They missed Honduras, but anyhow, point well taken.
Yeah, do not wear camo or military-looking clothing.
The reason I know Honduras is because I was going to go on this cigar trip,
but I had to go out of town for work on that particular time.
I had it all paid for and everything.
And the lady that sponsored the trip that owned the cigar stores around the area,
she said, do not wear camo.
And I was like, wow, okay.
So Honduras is the same way too.
Well, actually, if you look into this list, a lot of them are like cruise destinations.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Antigua, Bahamas, Barbados, Jamaica, St. Lucia.
And also, if anyone is curious, it includes camo shorts too.
Anything camo.
Yeah, anything.
It could be a headband.
You cannot do it. It's illegal.
I don't even think I would have a camo key chain.
Well, the lady, she's since got out of the cigar business.
Really nice lady.
I'm not going to mention her name, but anyhow, she said that like in some places in like Honduras
where there's a lot of civil unrest, you might get shot at wearing camo.
So yeah.
I believe it.
So that's a whole other realm besides going to jail, possibly.
You might get shot.
So, OK, I've got one for you here, Rob, and everyone else.
They're dead serious about charging mourners money to visit their loved ones.
However, cemetery owner Jason Taft hit back telling a local newspaper that he has spent 8,000
approximately on security and tech upgrades to keep the cemetery safe.
This is a cemetery.
It's not in America, but I'll get to that.
The VIP passes are believed to work as key cards that will open gates and provide access to the site.
There are 1,000 graves there and we could not we could not send that many keys out.
So many people came and get a card if they want one is what Taft, the owner said, or the keeper.
We're not locking people out.
And when we would normally be closed, that's when other people can visit.
OK, you see, so they have a regular time that everyone can visit.
But if you want a VIP pass, you can go there after hours and there'll be security.
Do you see how this is working? Yeah.
OK, owners of a cemetery in the UK have been blasted for offering paid VIP passes to relatives of those buried on the grounds.
The Garden of Remembrance, located in the town of Stoke-on-Trent, that is the town's name,
says those who don't purchase a pass will only be able to enter the cemetery during office hours.
From January 20, 2025, the site will be protected by electronic gates.
The gates at the front of the site will open and close automatically at set times.
A notice stated outside the cemetery and entrance to the cemetery will be via VIP pass, making the site secure for our staff, families and visitors.
Please ensure that you have your pass and good time for New Year.
OK, let me add a little bit to this. OK, I'm going to bring it back to America. OK.
OK, cemeteries are unsafe.
When you go to New Orleans, we're going to go there to see, you know, they all have tombs above ground because they're below sea level.
OK, they have old, old tombs there.
People go celebrate on the tombs and stuff at night.
You know, they burn candles and do all the stuff that they do down there. Right. OK.
Well, we were going to, as me and Val and a couple of friends of ours, we're going to go and go to the cemetery and look around and then call an Uber back.
The taxi said we don't leave you here.
We have to stay for safety reasons, because people hide out behind tombs and stuff.
And when they leave you alone, they come by and rob you.
Sometimes hurt you.
And it's become so bad to where taxi drivers, I don't know about Uber and Lyft, but taxi drivers are instructed because of liability issues to never leave anybody there by themselves.
So they're probably speaking of the same thing.
New Orleans is probably not the only place that has this issue.
There's probably other places that do, too.
So this is what the cemetery is talking about.
And I agree.
You know, there's grieving families that blasted the decision of this cemetery.
And they're saying stuff like now I need to pay a membership to visit my dad's grave.
Joe Bourne said, whose father, Mack, born is buried in the grounds.
He wrote on Facebook. But that's not necessarily true.
He can visit it during office hours for free.
This is just simply saying if you want to visit it on your time, we have to make sure that you're not going to be harmed or robbed.
So this is how we're going to do it.
I don't think they're making any money off of this from what I read.
I think what it's strictly doing is ensuring people's safety.
That's it.
Rob, you have any feelings on this?
Not really.
I really don't.
I think I agree with it after thinking about it first.
I was like, oh, that's bullshit.
Yeah, I mean, it's something I would have to get more thought to.
You know, I just can't answer right off the bat.
Well, personally, I think by the outrage that this caused that they're probably not even going to do it.
I don't know that for sure.
But my gut feeling is they're probably going to go, OK, our office hours are this to this.
Come here. You don't get in.
Right.
But at first I was like, that is cruel.
But then I got to thinking is, wait a minute. No, no, no.
It's just an added service. And if you want it, you can do it.
And if you don't, you don't have to go.
And if nobody subscribes that service, it will go away anyhow naturally.
Right.
So and I have a feeling if not enough people sign up at first, they're not going to do it anyhow.
How could they? They lose money right off the get go.
Right.
So I think it's that's why they're waiting until January to do it, middle or late January to do it.
And is to see the interest that it garners.
And if it and if it garners enough interest to where enough people are willing to send in money for it, then they probably will.
But my feeling is, is this going to go away naturally anyhow and people are all up in arms over nothing.
So anyhow, Rob, you got something?
Yeah, I do.
All right.
This is another deep one.
OK. Deep one.
Yeah.
Is this six foot?
That deep?
Actually, actually, yeah.
OK. Go forth.
Do do we reincarnate after death and go on to live a whole other life as someone else?
Many people think so.
And there have even been cases of very young children who seem to possess inexplicable knowledge about their past selves that has later been independently verified as true.
According to one declassified Pentagon file, even U.S. Army intelligence officials believe at least at one point that reincarnation could actually be a very real phenomenon.
OK.
Written in 1983, the 29 page report entitled Analysis and Assessment of the Gateway Process was pinned by U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel Wayne M.
McDonnell and was commissioned in relation to a highly secretive project known as Gateway, which was described as a training system designed to bring enhanced strength, focus, and coherence to alter consciousness.
This process reportedly involved shifting the consciousness of participants outside the physical sphere so as to ultimately escape even the restrictions of time and space.
It turned out that the project may have inadvertently discovered evidence of reincarnation when participants began to remember all the memories accumulated through the experience in reality.
In other words, they claim to have been able to recall details of their own past lives.
That said, it is important to note that the entire project was highly controversial to say the least, meaning that any reincarnation related discoveries to come out of it were anything but definite.
Even so, the report itself is definitively worth a read for those with an interest in the subject.
OK.
Wow.
Yeah.
Very interesting.
So they dabbled in reincarnation.
Wow.
Accidentally.
Yeah.
There's so many things I think out there that will blow our mind if we really knew the truth.
You know, so, OK.
Yeah.
Well, I'm going to go into a completely different subject if that's OK with you, Rob.
Yeah, no worries.
OK.
You know how there are some words or concepts that just don't sound right together or shouldn't be thought of in the same sentence, like alcohol and driving?
Oh, yeah.
Alcohol, driving, religion and government, you know, stuff like that, right?
Well, Japan has launched a new drink and it's called Nomu Mayo.
And you're probably guessed what the main ingredient is.
Yes, mayo.
Yep.
It's a drinkable form of mayonnaise, one that has already been branded online as awful.
No one no one is here to taste shame and it's not worth noting that mayonnaise is used heavily in Japan, whether in sandwiches, pizzas or even more traditional food like sushi and other products that you know what?
I don't even have to go into it.
It names a lot of them and anyhow, some of it is specific to Japan and nobody gives a shit.
So, OK, the product launched by Lawson, a well-known Japanese convenience store chain, is a lot to take in, according to Lawson.
It's a chilled drink.
Mayo fanatics have long been waiting for priced at one ninety eight yen or blocks, approximately one point twenty five euros.
The mayonnaise or about one fifty American.
The mayonnaise style drink is a two hundred milliliter cup in a white colored thick style drink.
It's a thick beverage that has a label noting ingredients like milk based foods, mayonnaise flavored seasoning and processed whole eggs.
Certainly in a test cell period is what they say.
If you like mayonnaise, you'll like it.
One X user is in a pickle.
I can't decide if this is genius or a crime against food or maybe both.
I would go crime against food.
What would you say?
Yeah, yeah, that's when it's crime against food.
Another said, I need clarity.
My taste buds are confused, but my curiosity is peaked with a Q.
I need answers.
My curiosity is not peaked.
I think it sounds horrible.
And I will stick to that until further notice, but there will be there will not be any more notice.
It's horrible.
So one tried calming things down and said, relax.
It's just a savory eggnog.
Don't think so.
Most people hated the idea.
And I am for once with most people.
You.
Yeah.
I don't think I don't think there's anything much you could eat.
I think even spicy vomit might be on the same plane as a mayonnaise flavored drink because it would make me vomit.
So anyhow.
All right, Rob, you got something?
Yeah, I do.
You know how I keep mentioning concerts in Ridgedale, Missouri?
Yes.
The first one in Springfield, yeah, how it's grown owned by Johnny the Bass Pro guy.
Yeah, that's for guy.
Yeah.
Well, here's another one.
Now.
Oh, yeah.
OK.
Ridgedale, Missouri, Sticks and Kevin Cronin will visit the Ozarks next June on their Brotherhood of Rock Tour. Kevin Cronin is REO Speedwagon's lead singer for many, many years.
He's a famous voice.
Right.
The tour will feature Sticks and Kevin Cronin, the former lead singer of REO Speedwagon and support from Don Felder, a former lead guitarist of the Eagles.
The tour will be at the Thunder Ridge Nature Arena near Ridgedale on Saturday, June 7th, 2025.
Tickets go on sale Friday, December 13th at 10 a.m. Central Time.
This tour starts May 28th and runs through August 24th.
Sticks and REO Speedwagon first went on tour together in 2000.
In 2001, after the 9-11 attacks, they formed the non-profit Rock of the Rescue, which collects donations on Sticks tours for local charities.
Oh, yeah.
Cronin recently announced that REO Speedwagon will stop touring at the end of 2024.
Yep.
And he's doing solo stuff.
REO is going to start, stop touring and he's going to go do this.
He might as well.
He's cool as hell.
He's still got a great voice.
He's still got a great voice and I'm glad he's carrying on.
That's very cool.
From what I understand, I think the guy, the owner of the Bass Pro is friends with a lot of bands, if I understand correctly.
Yeah.
And that's like he doesn't, I don't know if this is true or not, but I heard that he doesn't necessarily have to use promoters that they come to him because they know him or know of him.
I don't know if that's true or not.
That's what I've been told.
So, however, that works without a promoter.
If that's true, then I guess that's how it does.
So, if you remember right, that's how the Rolling Stones ended up there.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's right.
What about that?
He took one of them fishing or somebody fishing and they said, hey, you ever need a favor?
Call me.
So he called him.
He got the Rolling Stones last year.
Interesting because, okay, all right.
In Springfield.
Yeah.
And also Don Felder is going to be the guitarist.
Don Felder is responsible not only for Eagles music, but also one of my favorite songs ever, Heavy Metal.
Take a ride, ride, ride on Heavy Metal.
It's the only way to travel down that road.
That one, not the Sammy Hagar bullshit version.
Right.
So, cool.
Very cool.
So maybe that's true about him being friends with all of them.
I don't know.
Well, I actually, I've seen Foreigner and Sticks here.
Okay.
I think he was with them, but I think he was with Foreigner.
Don Felder has been a musician for hire for quite a while now.
He's been in multiple bands.
He was with them.
I can't remember which band he was with.
He hasn't done a solo gig in a long, long time.
And I think he's pretty much a really good guitarist for hire, that type of thing.
He doesn't really have a home band.
This was back a few years ago.
He's not going back to the Eagles.
You know, so he's, you know, I think pretty much bands call him up and go,
hey, Don, you want to come play for us on this tour?
And I think that's the way that works.
But I mean, he's still very good from what I've heard.
So, God bless him.
Yeah, he's always been a hell of a musician.
Yeah.
And like I said, I liked a lot of his solo stuff, most notably his song on Heavy Metal.
But he did have some other music that I liked too.
And I mean, I don't know if his solo career, he just didn't decide to do it
or if it just the rest of it didn't do that well.
I'm not really that well versed in all of his music.
I just know some of it and the stuff with the Eagles, of course.
I mean, you know, Joe Walsh is kind of the same too.
Joe Walsh did a little bit more solo stuff than Don Felder did, as far as I know.
But they both did well.
And Joe Walsh also plays in other bands too, from my understanding.
So, yeah, there you go.
Life after the Eagles.
So there you go.
All right.
You want to keep going or you want to call this bitch a day?
Yeah.
Tomorrow's an early day for me.
All right.
Yeah, we got to go in a little early.
Oh, OK.
All right.
Well, let's go ahead and tell all the assholes out there we love them.
Thank you for listening.
Good night, assholes.
Oh, no.
Looks like the show's over, kids.
Mark has explosive diarrhea and can't afford a wireless mic.
Fear not, assholes.
They'll be back invading your ear holes soon.
