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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

9
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:55,000
Two Deucebags and a Microphone.

10
00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:03,000
The only podcast with gusto. That's right. Just like Schlitz Beer. Google it.

11
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:08,000
Next time you take a dump, listen to Two Deucebags and a Microphone.

12
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:15,000
It's been proven in laboratory rats to relax your anal canal. Get in cover.

13
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:19,000
You watched the news. It was grim.

14
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:27,000
This is an apocalypse. Inevitable. We suggest you download all our podcasts beforehand and have multiple mobile chargers.

15
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:32,000
We have the post-apocalypse.

16
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:44,000
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.

17
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:54,000
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.

18
00:02:54,000 --> 00:03:03,000
Two Deucebags and a Microphone in an effort to keep everything fresh. We offer you first world problems.

19
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:10,000
Man, my internet is so slow. This is bullshit. How am I supposed to browse or get on TikTok with slow internet?

20
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,000
I'm so pissed off right now. I don't know what to do.

21
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:21,000
Tomorrow morning while grinding your coffee beans for your double mocha latte, remember to not get your genitals caught in the grinder.

22
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:25,000
It really hurts. Who can afford plastic surgery?

23
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,000
Stay safe everyone.

24
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:39,000
Two Deucebags and a Microphone. I'm Mark.

25
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:43,000
And I am Rob. Happy Christmas Eve everybody.

26
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:49,000
Yeah everybody. This is Christmas Eve now. It's early afternoon and Rob and I are doing this podcast right now.

27
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:55,000
But before we get into anything, I want to leave a little note here about the regular podcasts that come on here.

28
00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:00,000
This week, I'm relatively sure that it's going to go like this.

29
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:06,000
I'm going to be doing a solo cast on the Sports Bastards and relaying what we got right and what we got wrong.

30
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:12,000
It's all going to be a solo cast and I don't know if we'll even get to the music creeps unless Rob wants to do one with me.

31
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:18,000
We can, but Topher has some things going on. He'll be back, but he'll he's at least sitting out this week.

32
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:23,000
I'm sure. And maybe next week too. We'll see what happens.

33
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,000
So right now that's where it stands.

34
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,000
You told me all about it last night.

35
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:33,000
Yeah, yeah. And anyhow, everything's going to be fine. Everything is fine.

36
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:37,000
It's just going to take a little bit to get through this deal here.

37
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:42,000
I tell you about it, but it's his business, not mine. So I will not tell you about it.

38
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:51,000
So anyhow, Christmas is tomorrow. Christmas 2024 is already here.

39
00:04:51,000 --> 00:05:01,000
And well, I mean, what do you say, Rob? Gosh, I mean, you can always go home by went by so fast.

40
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,000
Well, it really did. It really did.

41
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:10,000
I mean, I kept hearing when I was younger constantly, oh, time goes faster as you get older.

42
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:14,000
I'm like, ah, fuck you. Yeah, I'm thinking that. Yeah, I didn't say that to him.

43
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:18,000
I'm thinking, oh, bullshit. Old people just have their ways of saying stuff.

44
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:24,000
And, you know, like I walked uphill to school both ways and 30 foot snowdrifts, you know,

45
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,000
you know, that type of stuff. So you don't really believe them.

46
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,000
Well, this one is actually true.

47
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:37,000
And I attribute it to having so much going on that you don't have time to look at the clock.

48
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:41,000
And this is daily. You know, this isn't like once it's daily.

49
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:46,000
And that's why time goes so fast. I'm certain it's because you're so busy.

50
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:54,000
And lately, well, actually for last year and a half, I've been trying to stop and smell the flowers, if you will.

51
00:05:54,000 --> 00:06:00,000
Look around, observe, enjoy and try to be in the moment instead of next week.

52
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,000
I got this coming up. I got this cruise coming up in April.

53
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:07,000
You know, I can't wait to go see this show. I can't wait to do that.

54
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:14,000
Trying to not do that so much and just enjoy right now because there's nothing wrong with right now.

55
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:18,000
Everything's fine. You know, I mean, as far as I know, we're all doing. Yeah.

56
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:22,000
Yeah. And Rob, you sound great, by the way. And I can tell you're doing that.

57
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:26,000
I can tell you're doing well. Yeah. You have a whole different sound.

58
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:30,000
I'm kind of in a good mood right now. You know, tomorrow is Christmas.

59
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:35,000
Yeah. My grandson just turned four on the 17th.

60
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:39,000
So yeah, pop off. I went over the top Christmas.

61
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:47,000
Yeah. Go ahead. I want to get a lawsuit against the company that made it.

62
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:51,000
False advertisement. Yeah. Oh, this is allegedly.

63
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,000
Allegedly, we got to throw that in. Allegedly.

64
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:58,000
I got him a little. Yeah, allegedly. OK, go ahead. Sorry.

65
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:03,000
More than little 12 volt electric four wheelers.

66
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:08,000
You know, you plug it in, charge it. Oh, man, I love them.

67
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,000
I love them. I love them. I love them.

68
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,000
I love them. I love them. I love them.

69
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:22,000
It's for three years and up and on the box, it says easy one, two, three assembly.

70
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,000
I have a lawsuit, dude.

71
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:33,000
13 parts and that don't even include having to connect the front steering mechanism together.

72
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,000
That sounds like hell.

73
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:41,000
No, no, he's going to love it. I love it.

74
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,000
You know what? It's worth it.

75
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:44,000
But still, I know what you mean.

76
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,000
It pisses you off because they make it look like it's nothing.

77
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:54,000
And then when you don't get it done in that amount of time, it has you kind of questioning yourself like, you know, what the hell?

78
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:58,000
Well, yeah, this has been a nightmare. I had wrapped up.

79
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:04,000
That's wrapping job I ever did. OK, all the corners tight.

80
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:08,000
Everything was perfect. You actually did that.

81
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,000
You actually did that. You made it all look good.

82
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:14,000
Like a real wrapping job. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, my gosh, dude.

83
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,000
I first time ever did my stuff.

84
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,000
Normally. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Me too. Me too.

85
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,000
I usually get a bag. There's a pillow in there.

86
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:30,000
You know, I buy a shopping bag, one of those decorated ones with you'll type shopping bag, throw the shit in there and I'm done.

87
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:34,000
Yeah. Well, I was sitting here last night, had it done.

88
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:42,000
I was sitting here in the studio, go, you know, doing some final work on this week's music list.

89
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:50,000
And my daughter calls me because I had sent her a picture of it in the box, you know, and then I wrapped it.

90
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:55,000
And she goes, you know what, Paw Paw, you know, what would be best better?

91
00:08:55,000 --> 00:09:03,000
I said, what's that? She said if it was put together and charged up and ready to go when he sees.

92
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,000
No pressure there. No pressure there, Rob.

93
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:11,000
Stop me. Stop me. You know, how am I going to fight that one?

94
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,000
No, no. And actually, she's right.

95
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,000
Paw Paw's been in the morning putting this thing together.

96
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:23,000
And she's right, too. You can't just sit there and go, well, hang on a minute, Junior, let's get these instructions out.

97
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,000
No, he's going to be like, I want to write it.

98
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:29,000
And you're going to be like, I'm going to need a good five hours.

99
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,000
Can you take him down to the park? Yeah.

100
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:37,000
So we're going to my son's to open presence.

101
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:41,000
And so I'm going to have to haul it over there. OK.

102
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,000
So she's right. You know, she's right.

103
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,000
It'd be better off being put to eat.

104
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,000
We could take it right out right there in the parking lot.

105
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,000
He can jump on it and go, you know. OK.

106
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:55,000
I even got a guy in a cool little helmet. That's cool.

107
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,000
Yeah, that's good.

108
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:02,000
You know what? You got to fill me in whether we're doing another podcast or not.

109
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,000
You at least got to call me and let me know how that goes.

110
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:09,000
I want to hear that because I know that he's just going to be flipping out.

111
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,000
Yeah. So, yeah, that's cool. Good, Rob.

112
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:18,000
You know, you are a fantastic pop off for doing that.

113
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,000
And that dad took the birthday present.

114
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:25,000
Pop all gets Christmas. OK. OK. All right.

115
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:31,000
That's cool. I went to the city market today.

116
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,000
No podcast, like I said, you know. Yeah.

117
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,000
And I was writing out some material and I came across this.

118
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,000
I'm going to go to the article here in a little bit.

119
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:45,000
But how Norad Santa Tracker became it was just an accident, right?

120
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:49,000
So I'm upstairs because a little chilly out there in the breezeway.

121
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,000
We're usually do our podcasts.

122
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:55,000
I went upstairs at the city market where they have coffee

123
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:59,000
and I was in the balcony or whatever you want to call it after whatever.

124
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:03,000
And I'm writing out some stuff for today and maybe another podcast or two.

125
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:07,000
So this gentleman walks up there. Very nice guy.

126
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,000
Ex-Marine. Really, really nice guy. His name is Gabriel.

127
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:16,000
And anyhow, he was he was having a little bit of difficulty with his son.

128
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:22,000
His son was being a little high strung, you know, holidays coming up, you know, a public place.

129
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,000
And so I quickly kind of identified it.

130
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:30,000
And by reading this article right there, I had the number to Norad Santa. OK.

131
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,000
Right there when I was getting ready to write it out.

132
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:38,000
And I go, hey, sir, did you know that I have the number to Santa?

133
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:42,000
And he goes, what? I go, yeah, sure do. Right here. Oh, really?

134
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:46,000
Then he looks at I forgot his kid's name and goes, hey, let's just say it's Jeffy.

135
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:52,000
Jeffy, would you like to call Santa? And all of a sudden his eyes lit up. Yeah. Yeah.

136
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:56,000
So I read him the number. He puts it in. He calls Santa right there.

137
00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:03,000
And they informed little junior that Santa was over Laos and he's a little bit ahead of schedule.

138
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:11,000
He'll only be over Kansas City about nine p.m. So we we looked at him and said, hey, you better be in bed.

139
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,000
You better be asleep by nine p.m. So you can get your toys.

140
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:18,000
And he quickly agreed with that and was like, yes, yes, I will.

141
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:24,000
And it was just really cool the way that panned out, because right when he was having a little bit of difficulty,

142
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,000
I was like, man, this would be a good time to just say the number.

143
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,000
And I got to witness it live. It was really cool.

144
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:37,000
It was meant to happen. And anyhow, when he was leaving, he shook my hand and he goes, hey, thank you, man.

145
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:42,000
You know, everything is great. And I was like, hey, I'm Mark. And I said and he asked me the name of the podcast.

146
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:47,000
I said, well, I go, don't judge it. It's two douchebags and microphone.

147
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:51,000
And he started laughing. I saw. Hell no. He goes, that'd be something I listen to.

148
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:58,000
So I was like, OK, then that's it. I said it'll be the latest one probably up tomorrow or something.

149
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:02,000
He said, all right. So anyhow, Gabriel, if you listen, I hope you do.

150
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:08,000
Hello to you is very nice meeting you and your son. And and thank you.

151
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:17,000
I had a great morning and part of it was because of you and your son. So anyhow, that's great.

152
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:22,000
I'm glad you did that for Gabriel and his son. That was it was nice of you, man.

153
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:28,000
It was a perfect opportunity is all it was. And, you know, I mean, you can call it God if you want.

154
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:34,000
I kind of do. I think it's kind of a godly thing. Yeah. You know, I say the man needed it at that point in time.

155
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:41,000
And boom, there you were. God was nice enough and kind enough to offer it to me to give to this gentleman and his son.

156
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:47,000
And I was honored to do so. And it turned out very well. And I mean, it's a homework movie.

157
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:55,000
Yeah, yes, it is. You know. Yeah. So anyhow, I was feeling all good inside.

158
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:59,000
Then on the way home, someone cut me off and I flipped him off and told him to die. No, I didn't.

159
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:08,000
No, I didn't know. I'm joking around. Anyhow. Oh, yeah. Yeah. On my way out, I'm pretty sure I seen an ex-girlfriend.

160
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:13,000
I'm pretty sure she's seen me and we did the smart thing and turn around and walk the other way.

161
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:22,000
So perfect day. Perfect day. So yeah, it's not that like we didn't get along, you know, or anything.

162
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:27,000
And it ended horribly or nothing. It's just the fact that we didn't feel like saying hi to each other.

163
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:31,000
And we both acknowledged it and turned around and went the other way.

164
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:37,000
Both of you went your separate ways then. And, you know, I get it. Yeah. Yeah. It wasn't anything bad.

165
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:45,000
We weren't like, oh, fuck off or, oh, there's that asshole just kind of like, OK, I'm going to go to the soda shop and she's going to go to the bakery.

166
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:49,000
You know, that type of thing. So, anyhow, it was a perfect morning. It was great.

167
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:57,000
And even if I would have said hi to her at Winderow in my day, but still it was just like it was interesting that we're on the same page with it.

168
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:04,000
So, OK, I got this story about NORAD. OK, you know, the Santa Tracker, right? Right.

169
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:11,000
OK. NORAD Santa Tracker started by accident. The 69 year old tradition happened by mistake.

170
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:17,000
This is a really cool story, Rob. The Cold War tensions between the U.S. and Russia were high.

171
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:29,000
Their Continental Air Defense Command, CONRAD, or yeah, CONAD or something like CONAD, I think, had a special line set up in case of an imminent attack.

172
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:41,000
On Christmas Eve, 1955, that phone rang. U.S. Air Force Colonel Harry Shoup feared the worst because there's only one reason that phone rings, right, Rob?

173
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:45,000
Right. That means missiles are coming at us. Launch yours.

174
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:51,000
You know, the call was coming in on a top secret line, which could only be one thing.

175
00:15:51,000 --> 00:16:00,000
But when he picked up the receiver, the voice on the other side wasn't wearing a Russian missile, wasn't worn another Russian missile attack.

176
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:04,000
It goes, Is this Santa Claus? A tiny voice asked.

177
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:13,000
Lieutenant Shoup, who was the man on call, was very annoyed and demanded to know who would play such a prank on our nation's national security.

178
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:18,000
And that's probably what I would have thought, too. One of you thought that, Rob, someone's playing a prank. Yeah. Yeah.

179
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:25,000
The little voice is now crying. You know, he goes, Is this one of Santa's elves, then?

180
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:32,000
So, you know, how on earth had a child, you know, get a highly classified number?

181
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:39,000
Well, it turns out from a Sears ad that had run that very day. Oh, my God.

182
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:45,000
That very day with a big picture of Santa Claus urging children to call him.

183
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:50,000
I encourage you to check out the Sears ad online. It's a pretty cool piece of history.

184
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:58,000
Yeah. Just look it up when you get a chance. It has the old sketch art, the detail, you know, the 1950s stuff.

185
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:03,000
It's just it's really cool. And if you're like me and Rob, you're going to love it and you're going to go, Wow, that's cool.

186
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:07,000
I might even print it out and put it up here on the talk is cheap studio somewhere.

187
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:13,000
The what that might that's an idea. I am putting together the Dutch blind studio. There we go.

188
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:22,000
There we go. And I'm like, since my fuck off light neon light burnout, I got to find a place for something else

189
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:27,000
because it seems to be that they don't really have them right now when I tried to order one.

190
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:32,000
So I'm going to have to do with the fuck off sign for a little bit at least. So I'm going to have to fill it with something.

191
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:40,000
So the ad reminded reminded children to call the right number, but it was actually Sears that had the wrong number.

192
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:44,000
The phone number advertised was one digit off.

193
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:50,000
So instead of calling the North Pole, children were actually calling NORAD, which is what it is now.

194
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:57,000
It caused a bunch of kids to call NORAD asking where Santa was, where Santa was.

195
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:03,000
Major General Constance Jenkins told told a news outlet about this.

196
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:08,000
It all could have ended there. But instead, as the phone line started ringing off the hook,

197
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:15,000
Schupp decided to play along. He grabbed the nearest airmen to start answering the other lines.

198
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:25,000
So Conrad became NORAD in 1958 and every year since NORAD puts hundreds of volunteers to answer phone lines for Santa every year.

199
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:29,000
You or your children can call this. I will have this up today.

200
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:35,000
So if you're if you're dumb enough to listen to this podcast on Christmas Eve, you can.

201
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:42,000
It is one eight seven seven high NORAD and NORAD just like it sounds.

202
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:46,000
That's how it's spelled one eight hundred high NORAD.

203
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:50,000
So if you get this in time, call it up. Make your kids smile.

204
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,000
It'll make their day and probably the rest of the year.

205
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:58,000
So anyhow, Rob, we we turn to you on this heartwarming episode.

206
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:03,000
Yeah, I'm staying in the Christmas theme on this one. Oh, good, good.

207
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:08,000
I have more Christmas stuff. All right. Yeah.

208
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:13,000
The Grinch is a creature invented by Dr. Seuss for his stories.

209
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:22,000
The author wrote in writing books about the Grinch who wants to run the Christmas celebrations of the people in Newville

210
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,000
and the visual representations.

211
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:34,000
The Grinch is green, his figure resembles a pair and his face has something cat like about

212
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:46,000
the character was also recreated in this way in the live action film in which Jim Carrey took on the role of the Grinch.

213
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:51,000
Yeah, that was good, too. Yeah, that was a good.

214
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:57,000
Since the creation of the Grinch, the character has become known and loved worldwide.

215
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:06,000
The name Grinch is often used as a synonym for people who don't like Christmas or grumpy around that time of year.

216
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:10,000
Yeah, it took over for Scrooge. Did you notice that? Yeah.

217
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:15,000
Nobody says Scrooge anymore. They say Grinch. And it's fantastic, too.

218
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,000
So go ahead. I'm sorry.

219
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:27,000
OK, well, what kind of creature the Grinch is was not always the same, by the way.

220
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:31,000
They changed it. I didn't know that.

221
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:39,000
And in earlier work by Dr. Seuss, scramble scrambled eggs super.

222
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:50,000
The Grinch was an invented bird species, a beagle build bald Grinch, to be precise.

223
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:55,000
OK. Yeah, I didn't know that.

224
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,000
Wow. I've never seen anything.

225
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:03,000
You know, usually stuff like that you'll see like an illustration or something somewhere.

226
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:09,000
You know, someone will go, hey, did you know there's an original Grinch or something and you'll see it online or something, right? Normally.

227
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,000
I have I have never seen anything like that.

228
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:17,000
And now I'm going to have another thing to look at. So that's cool. Maybe I'll print that out.

229
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:21,000
It's in scrambled eggs. Super.

230
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,000
OK, thank you. I will check that out.

231
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:25,000
The name of that one.

232
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:32,000
And like right now, what I'm doing is I'm looking at old concert tickets online and I'm making a printout to them.

233
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:38,000
I'm going to have a wall full of old concert tickets. They're going to look just like the tickets only cut out.

234
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:41,000
You know what? Not everyone will like it.

235
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,000
But you know what? The people at count will like it.

236
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:51,000
So anyhow, let's go ahead and go to our first break and then we'll come back to I'll tell you how M&M's have superpowers.

237
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:54,000
That sound good? Oh, that sounds good.

238
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:59,000
Yeah, yeah, they do. I think you already know this, right? That M&M have superpowers.

239
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:05,000
Yeah. OK, we'll be right back.

240
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,000
Our constant pursuit for a real knee slapper.

241
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:11,000
It's strange insults from an alien.

242
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:22,000
Real hilarity. May raccoons chew up your trash bags every trash day on the curb, just enough to where you have to read by them and enough to where the trash them won't pick them up.

243
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:27,000
And you have to pay for extra bags the next week.

244
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:31,000
Next up, things over heard in hell.

245
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:35,000
Cocks with socks are the only footwear allowed in hell.

246
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:54,000
Your mama's so old, she knew Burger King when he was still a prince.

247
00:22:54,000 --> 00:23:00,000
Harambe used to listen to our original show, Two Dip Shits and a Cheap Radio Shack Realistic Tape Recorder.

248
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:07,000
Harambe does not listen to our original show, Two Dip Shits and a Cheap Radio Shack Realistic Tape Recorder anymore.

249
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:14,000
You might ask why Harambe never listens to our original show, Two Dip Shits and a Cheap Radio Shack Realistic Tape Recorder.

250
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,000
Well, it's because Harambe is dead.

251
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:22,000
Senselessly murdered because some idiot did not watch her child properly while looking on her phone.

252
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:30,000
Sadly, Harambe does not listen to our original show, Two Dip Shits and a Cheap Radio Shack Realistic Tape Recorder or any other show anymore.

253
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,000
Sorry, Harambe.

254
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:39,000
These guys are inviting us in used hypodermic theater.

255
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:43,000
Next up, things over heard in hell.

256
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:55,000
Howard Stern just signed a 10-year contract extension.

257
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:59,000
Fags and a microphone. I'm Mark Portion.

258
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,000
And I'm the Rob Portion.

259
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:06,000
We have some emails too, by the way, but we can get to them a little bit later.

260
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:11,000
Anyhow, I got a little story before this thing I'm going to go to about M&Ms.

261
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,000
The other day was Val's birthday, the 21st.

262
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:15,000
And you know where we went, Rob?

263
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,000
Happy belated birthday.

264
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,000
I will tell her.

265
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:23,000
Anyhow, do you know where we went, Rob, for the celebration?

266
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:24,000
Where?

267
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,000
Jess and Jim's.

268
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:27,000
Oh, awesome.

269
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:32,000
I just got off work and we didn't feel like going back to the city, so we're like, hey, let's...

270
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,000
I was like, you know what, I've been craving one of their twice bakes.

271
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,000
And she's like, you know what, yeah, that sounds good.

272
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,000
And some of those beets that they serve with the steaks.

273
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:41,000
So anyhow...

274
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:42,000
That was always awesome.

275
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:43,000
Yeah, yeah.

276
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:50,000
I munched down on beets, bread, homemade bread, the garlic bread, and the potato, and everything was fantastic.

277
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,000
And it was just, it was a fun night.

278
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,000
You know, I had a couple of yinlings.

279
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:59,000
She smashed down a cranberry something margarita.

280
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:00,000
And it was really good.

281
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:01,000
I just had to mention that.

282
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,000
It was a great time and we enjoyed it.

283
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:07,000
So here's my M&Ms have superpowers and I can prove it section.

284
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:08,000
OK?

285
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:09,000
All right.

286
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,000
Val had bought a large personal size bag of M&Ms.

287
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:20,000
You know, it's not like the like family share size, but it's a larger bag of the personal sizes, right?

288
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,000
They're about twice of the smaller ones.

289
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:30,000
You know, these M&Ms, this was for her to make cookies for the new neighbors.

290
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:31,000
They're really cool.

291
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:36,000
And, you know, and we wanted to do something for them because they watch the house when we're gone.

292
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,000
And in trade, we do the same and they're just easy to work with.

293
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,000
They cleaned out the fence really good.

294
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:42,000
They're just good people.

295
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:49,000
The bag lasted approximately three weeks because we, you know, we're really busy and she didn't have time to make them.

296
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,000
So we're in the middle of a bunch of projects.

297
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:55,000
So when I around 3 a.m., I jumped up to use the bathroom.

298
00:25:55,000 --> 00:26:02,000
And anyhow, I'm not thinking, you know, I had a little too much Gatorade Zero after 9 p.m.

299
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,000
So, you know, I was up a couple of times.

300
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:11,000
I'm headed back to bed when I suddenly remember the peanut M&Ms, the peanut butter M&Ms.

301
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:15,000
Of course, I destroy them quickly and I feel horrible.

302
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:16,000
Right. That's what you do.

303
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:21,000
Right. I just destroyed them and I felt terrible about them.

304
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,000
I'm like, shit, why did I do that, man?

305
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,000
I mean, you know, I know they're for the neighbors.

306
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,000
I know they're for cookies.

307
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,000
So anyhow, I'm like, OK, I know what I'll do.

308
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:36,000
I'll buy another bag just like it and I'll replace it and hopefully she didn't look over there on the counter.

309
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:40,000
So the next day I stop and I buy a bag and I got the wrong ones.

310
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:43,000
Instead of the peanut butter ones, I grabbed the peanut M&Ms.

311
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:46,000
So I was busted. I was busted.

312
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:51,000
But I blamed I blamed it on the M&M superpowers and I'm sticking with it.

313
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:55,000
They have superpowers. Yeah, they do. Yeah, they do.

314
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,000
They make you eat them. There is nothing.

315
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:58,000
There's nothing I can say.

316
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,000
I mean, people that know this know this. Right.

317
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:04,000
M&Ms have superpowers and I could not resist.

318
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,000
So there you go.

319
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:10,000
Anyhow, Rob, go ahead, man.

320
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:14,000
All right. I'm going into a totally different world.

321
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:20,000
I'm getting off the Christmas thing for a minute. All right.

322
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:37,000
A new study has found that Pink Floyd inspired the most rock band tattoos followed by Guns N' Roses and Ramstein and second and third.

323
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:43,000
Wow. I could have guessed the first two would have been up there, but Ramstein.

324
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:48,000
Yeah, I wouldn't guess that is probably overseas or really huge overseas.

325
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:52,000
So yeah, yeah, this is out of Switzerland.

326
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,000
Okay. Yeah.

327
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,000
There you go.

328
00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:08,000
The tattoo shop LL Tattoo in Switzerland conducted the study by examining search volume data from Google Keyboard Planner.

329
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:23,000
In first place with over 13,000 monthly searches worldwide, Pink Floyd, whose album covers were The Dark Side of the Moon, Animals, etc.

330
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:31,000
Guns N' Roses came in second with just over 10,600 searches.

331
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:37,000
And there are more the artwork of Appetite for Destruction.

332
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:45,000
Which was designed by the late tattoo artist Billy White Jr.

333
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,000
Okay.

334
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:56,000
And German industrial metal band Ramstein took third with over 10,500.

335
00:28:56,000 --> 00:29:01,000
Okay, yes, Switzerland. That makes sense. Over here. I'd be like going what? No way.

336
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:05,000
Okay. All right. Ramstein is always huge overseas.

337
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:10,000
Go ahead. And I also have the rest of the top 10.

338
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,000
That sounds great.

339
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:17,000
And number four came in Metallica.

340
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,000
I can believe that.

341
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:25,000
Number five, Nirvana.

342
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:26,000
Okay.

343
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:31,000
Number six, Linkin Park.

344
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,000
Number seven, Slipknot.

345
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,000
Number eight, 21 Pilots.

346
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:40,000
Number nine, Iron Maiden.

347
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:44,000
And number 10, Tool.

348
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:48,000
Okay, I can see most of them. Tool?

349
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,000
Yeah, that's a little in there.

350
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:59,000
You know what though? The people that are into them are really, really into them. So, you know what? It's probably true. Well, I guess it is.

351
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:03,000
Well, this was out of Switzerland.

352
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:09,000
Okay. Okay. Yeah. All right. Wow.

353
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:17,000
All of the American ones, you know, the ones that we know of, not the Ramsteins and all that, were pretty predictable.

354
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:18,000
Yeah.

355
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:25,000
Like I knew Metallica would have to be on there. And here's why. The fans that they have are rabid. Rabid fans.

356
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:34,000
And I'm not talking about like the Metallica that, you know, everyone caught on in the 90s with that alternica stuff or nothing else matters or none of that stuff.

357
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:41,000
What I'm talking about is the rabid Metallica fans that love the first four albums and hate everything else.

358
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:46,000
Those guys are the ones that got the Metallica tattoos. And there's not nearly as many of them.

359
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:53,000
So virtually probably three out of 10 Metallica fans, real Metallica fans, probably went out and got tattoos.

360
00:30:53,000 --> 00:31:01,000
So that's cool. All right. Do you want to go into some emails here?

361
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:02,000
Yeah, let's do it.

362
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:15,000
Okay. Mark and Rob, how about a list of your favorite rock faces? How about seven of them? Ronnie and Tulsa. Tulsa King.

363
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,000
I got mine right here.

364
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:24,000
All right. I will have mine here. Right. Go ahead and I will get mine.

365
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:28,000
Okay, Ronnie and everybody else. There you go.

366
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,000
Okay.

367
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:37,000
Coming in at number seven, I have Pete Agnew of Nazareth.

368
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:45,000
Interesting choice. I love him, but I didn't expect that.

369
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:53,000
Well, on Hair of the Dog and a lot of their other songs, his bass stands out and I love it.

370
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,000
No, I agree. I would agree with it.

371
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:58,000
Yeah.

372
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:05,000
Okay. Coming in at number six, Michael Anthony of Van Halen.

373
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:12,000
Yeah. I mean, some of those noises he made, especially on the first four albums. I mean, yeah, I agree.

374
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:15,000
Running with the Devil, for example.

375
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:25,000
Yes. That's all bass too. None of that's guitar at the first. It's all bass, which is remarkable to me.

376
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:32,000
Okay. Coming in at number five, Francis Buckholz of Scorpions.

377
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:38,000
You know what? Yeah, because he was the one that did the albums with the bass like it was.

378
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:45,000
Later on, they got a different bassist and it wasn't the same. It was more of the heartbeat stuff.

379
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:46,000
The zoo.

380
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:54,000
Yeah. Yep. Yeah. That thing. That beat on there. That is something incredible.

381
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:57,000
That guitar riff too.

382
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,000
Yeah. Yeah. That guitar riff was awesome too.

383
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:04,000
Yeah. That is like one of those perfect metal sounding songs. You know, if someone goes, hey, what's metal?

384
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:10,000
Heaven and hell, you could point to that one and go, hey, this is metal. So very cool.

385
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:15,000
Okay. Coming in at number four, Geddy Lee of Rush.

386
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:22,000
We doubled over on that one.

387
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:27,000
Number three, Steve Lang of April Wine.

388
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:32,000
I almost got him in there and I decided not to. And it's because of body of work.

389
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:36,000
I mean, I know they have 20 albums out, but we only know of a few of them, right?

390
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:42,000
They're the only ones that like really hit down here. So I didn't put him in because of that. But anyhow.

391
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:45,000
Well, he passed away too.

392
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,000
Oh yeah. I forgot.

393
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:52,000
That I forgot. Yeah, that's right. He did.

394
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:53,000
Yeah.

395
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,000
Okay.

396
00:33:55,000 --> 00:34:04,000
Okay. Coming in at number two, Johnny April of Stained.

397
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:09,000
Interesting.

398
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:14,000
So you like the way that...

399
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:20,000
Tell me why you think... I mean, I'm not arguing with you or nothing, but I just want to hear why you think this.

400
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,000
I mean, he's really good.

401
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:23,000
Mud shovel. Mud shovel.

402
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:28,000
Okay. All right. Makes sense.

403
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:31,000
I mean, if you don't know, listen to the song.

404
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:35,000
I'm not basing an octave one song on each of these. I'm just giving examples.

405
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:38,000
No, that's a great example. It makes me describe it.

406
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:39,000
Mud shovel.

407
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:40,000
Yeah.

408
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:41,000
Self-explanatory.

409
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:48,000
Yeah. Yeah. I get it. All right. I wasn't questioning it. I was just asking why.

410
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:49,000
Yeah.

411
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:50,000
Okay.

412
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:57,000
And my number one, Robbie Merrill of God's Map.

413
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:01,000
I find that interesting.

414
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:06,000
I like their music and it just, yeah, it flows with me.

415
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:07,000
Okay.

416
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:08,000
Everything. Yeah.

417
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:13,000
So you just like the back beat that he provides. It's not like it's anything crazy. You just like...

418
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:14,000
Right. Right.

419
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:15,000
Okay.

420
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:19,000
Yeah. It just flows and just goes with everything else.

421
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:24,000
Well, Ronnie asked for our favorite. He didn't ask for the most complicated or who we think was the most talented.

422
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:25,000
Right. Right.

423
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:28,000
He was asking for our favorite. So there you go.

424
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:31,000
And these are my top seven favorites.

425
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:35,000
Who could argue with them? They're fantastic. So all right.

426
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:43,000
Okay. Number seven. I have John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin.

427
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:44,000
All right.

428
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:55,000
Not only does his bass provide a guitar feel in many, many songs, and he didn't even have the Tom Peterson of Cheap Trick,

429
00:35:55,000 --> 00:36:01,000
you know, the bass that you could turn upside down that has what? Let's see. 12 strings, but they're both together.

430
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:09,000
You play it right side up and it's bass sounding. You play it upside down and it's octave sounding. Really unique thing.

431
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:10,000
Yeah.

432
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:16,000
And what's his name from Pearl Jam plays one. Jeremy is a good example of that being used.

433
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:21,000
It's like, is that bass or guitar? Well, kind of both maybe.

434
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:29,000
So anyhow, John Paul Jones provided that kind of sound without any trickery or any type of a different instrument.

435
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:36,000
He did it very well just with the way he plays. And not only that, but after Led Zeppelin IV, I believe, he wrote most of the music.

436
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:44,000
All the rest of them were like busy, I don't know, doing drugs or something. So, allegedly.

437
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:55,000
Number six. I have Geddy Lee of Rush. And I mean, the complicated songs that they provided and the way that they composed them

438
00:36:55,000 --> 00:37:04,000
and the bass and the feel that he did to them to make them have that sound and that feel that they wanted from Tefl's to Syrinx

439
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:17,000
to Permanent Waves to Power Windows. I mean, all of those songs, 2112, they're all different, but they all are the same because of the bass.

440
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:26,000
And that's not a bad thing. What it means is the familiarity between the songs are glued together because of the bass,

441
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:34,000
even though they're completely different songs and they're not a repeat of the other one. They're exactly what he does only in that song.

442
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:41,000
That make any sense? Yeah. Yeah. You can hear him and go, oh, that's Geddy Lee. And that's what I love.

443
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:50,000
And he's very talented and I love the songs that they wrote. So number five, Les Claypool of Primus.

444
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:59,000
Now, I'm not a huge Primus fan. I'm not a huge Primus fan, but I can listen to his bass and just lose myself at it.

445
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:12,000
I mean, Stinkfist to, shit, what was the last one? I know the pieces fit. Shit, I can't think of it. Oh, well, I can't.

446
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:18,000
I can't either. I know what to talk about. And I see where you're going. I understand that.

447
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:27,000
Yeah. I mean, I'm not I'm not a huge Primus fan, but I'm not either. His bass, I see where you're going. His bass, though, I could listen to.

448
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:34,000
I could listen to. And actually, a lot of those songs, I'd rather just hear the bass, actually. So.

449
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:44,000
Right. OK. Number four, I have Flea, of course, Red Hot Chili Peppers. Right. His bass is insane.

450
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:52,000
Really, really insane. It's not the fact that he used to wear whitey tighties on stage only.

451
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:58,000
He's not the fact like he looked like a German military guy or nothing like that.

452
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:04,000
I mean, you know, you had the blonde hair, blue eyes, tall, slender. It's nothing to that.

453
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:12,000
His playing, his playing was just insanely good, very rhythmic. He did invent stuff in there.

454
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:19,000
He didn't always follow the rules, which I love. And every time he didn't follow the rules, I called it Flea because that's what he did to me.

455
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:27,000
He was almost Eddie Van Halen, a bassist. Incredible. Yeah.

456
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:31,000
Number four was Flea. I'm sorry. Number three, Tony Franklin.

457
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:36,000
Most people would know him not from his folk songs, his English folk songs or anything like that.

458
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:45,000
They would know him as the bassist in the firm. Right. That would be Paul Rogers, Jimmy Page's project.

459
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:49,000
After Zeppelin, of course, Tony Franklin was in that band.

460
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:56,000
I'll tell you what, you don't have to listen to his other stuff. Listen to both the albums that they put out, especially the first one.

461
00:39:56,000 --> 00:40:06,000
And you hear that bass in there. The guy is just insanely good and really, really unique.

462
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:13,000
So anyhow, it's signature sound, just like Flea, just like Les Claypool, just like Geddy Lee and John Paul Jones.

463
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:16,000
They all have their own sound and I love it.

464
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:27,000
Number two, he is a really he's almost a guitarist in the way he plays Steve Harris of Iron Maiden.

465
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:31,000
He Steve Harris is insane.

466
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:41,000
I those songs like Rime of the Ancient Mariner to Two Minutes to Midnight to Revelation to Seven Son of the Seventh Son.

467
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:46,000
I mean, all of that stuff. I mean, he just he plays it like a guitar.

468
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:52,000
He's flowing. He puts these pieces together in orchestrational order.

469
00:40:52,000 --> 00:41:00,000
The songs that they've done Iron Maiden back in the day were, I don't know, 12, 15 minutes composers together.

470
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:04,000
Steve Harris, he was the glue that held that whole thing together.

471
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:07,000
He's been there the whole time and he's fantastic.

472
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:11,000
And coincidentally, Nico McBrain just retired.

473
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:14,000
He was not the original drummer, but he was the drummer of Iron Maiden.

474
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:20,000
He is a one of the faces Iron Maiden and his signature sound helped make Iron Maiden what they were.

475
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:27,000
He retired and I didn't get any word on who's going to replace him because I think Iron Maiden is still going to go on, at least for a little while.

476
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:29,000
They're all getting older.

477
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:38,000
Bruce Dickinson's busy on a solo tour overseas with Supporting the Mandrake Project, which is a fantastic album.

478
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:41,000
Number one on my list.

479
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:49,000
And I'll tell you what, I tell you why it's number one is because his playing allowed Black Sabbath to sound the way they did.

480
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:52,000
OK, this is a multiple thing here where I'm going to go into.

481
00:41:52,000 --> 00:42:05,000
OK, I think we all know by now that Tony Ahom, his fingers were cut off or his fingertips, not his fingers, his fingertips were cut off in a saw blade accident and a steel plant that his parents owned, I believe.

482
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:08,000
Right. Yeah. Yeah. OK.

483
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:12,000
Well, he had to change the way he played.

484
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:29,000
So we had to hold the notes longer and make them thicker and heavier and darker. But the only way he could do that is he need a bassist play like a guitarist in the background to hold those notes, to make those notes mean sense with something in the back.

485
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:36,000
You see, without that bass, the songs would not sound the same, not even close.

486
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:43,000
Think about if you took Black Sabbath, just a song Black Sabbath, you took away the bass.

487
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:47,000
The song would not be nearly as dynamic as it is, not as scary.

488
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:49,000
No, it would not. No.

489
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:58,000
To me, Geezer Butler was the best bassist that I liked, my favorite ever, because of what he did to make the music sound the way it did.

490
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:06,000
And without Geezer Butler, I think we all know that there would not have been a Black Sabbath because that guy's bass is insane.

491
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:13,000
And if you haven't listened to a lot of people don't because Tony Iommi's, his heavy riffs are so prolific.

492
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:15,000
That's what people think about.

493
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:30,000
Sometime listen to the bass and you'll see what I'm talking about. I mean, he used to, he used to put all these different, I don't know, these note bending and these different stacks of really kind of jazzy kind of a bass.

494
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:38,000
And he put them up against that heavy, heavy riffs that I only did. And it was perfect. I mean, it fit. It was great.

495
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:42,000
So that is my number one.

496
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:47,000
So I knew, I knew, I knew that would be your number one.

497
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:50,000
Yeah, I mean, I know you. Yeah, I know you.

498
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:55,000
Well, I mean, that is some of the music that I, I mean, it was my stuff, man. I loved it.

499
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:57,000
That's awesome. That's awesome.

500
00:43:57,000 --> 00:44:02,000
Yours was too, dude. You come out of left field three or four times. I love it.

501
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:07,000
So yeah, that's my favorite, you know.

502
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:09,000
Yeah, that stuff is awesome.

503
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:14,000
That's what he asked for. That's what Tulsa King asked for. That's what Tulsa King got.

504
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:19,000
Yep. I think we need to ask Tulsa King some questions.

505
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:21,000
Ha.

506
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:25,000
Next podcast. You have warning, Ronnie. You have warning.

507
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:34,000
We will. We are going to ask you some questions and we want you to answer them. That sound fair?

508
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:36,000
Yeah. Yeah, that's fair.

509
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:37,000
That's fair to me.

510
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:41,000
All right. All right. We were on emails.

511
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:48,000
So, Mark, I seem to have issues downloading your podcast from iTunes. Is it me or are they having issues?

512
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:50,000
Thanks, Terry.

513
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:56,000
iTunes isn't a problem. I went there right after I read this email and it downloaded for me fine.

514
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:58,000
I've never heard any issues with iTunes.

515
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:09,000
So if iTunes is not working out for you, Amazon, RSS, Spotify, I mean all the major outlets for podcasts, all of them were on.

516
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:15,000
Let me throw a couple more in. I listen on TuneIn and iHeart.

517
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:20,000
TuneIn is a great outlet. You just have to put up with some commercials.

518
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:31,000
iHeart is another great outlet. I mean, without them, we would not have nearly as many downloads. They are two of our top providers of ours.

519
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:39,000
So either one works great. All of them work great. It doesn't matter. Stitcher, all the way. I think Rumble might be another one.

520
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:43,000
There are so many of them. I literally don't know the names of all of them that carry us.

521
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:56,000
So, don't have to go iTunes if you don't want to. You can just put in the name, Two Douchebags Microphone Podcast, and Google will simply send you a list of everything that we're on.

522
00:45:56,000 --> 00:46:04,000
Or ask Siri. I hear she doesn't like to talk about us, but she has to if you ask. Isn't that the word on the street, Rob?

523
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:07,000
Oh, she's pissed at me.

524
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:09,000
Yeah, she don't like me either.

525
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:14,000
She found out I'm co-host. Siri don't talk to me no more.

526
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:24,000
Siri does not care for us. I asked Siri a couple of questions about us and she did not want to answer. So, we know where we stand in that world.

527
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:31,000
I thought I had her to the point where I could ask her to marry me and ask her to talk to me.

528
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:38,000
Rob, I'm sorry. I didn't know that this podcast would destroy your love life. I'm very sorry about that.

529
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:41,000
Well, at least I had a woman to talk to, you know.

530
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:45,000
I understand.

531
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:52,000
The next one, well, Topher's off for a little bit. So, I'll just go ahead and read it because it's on here. But okay.

532
00:46:52,000 --> 00:47:01,000
Topher seems like he plays several instruments. I can say yes, he does, but I don't know all of them. So, I'll let him answer it when he comes back if I'm right.

533
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:09,000
What all does he play and if he's in a band, what's the name and do they have released music? Tone in Orlando.

534
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:20,000
Okay, so we'll get to that when we get to that. I sent him a message, but he's very busy right now. So, when he answers that, that's fine. We'll let you know.

535
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:23,000
The next one.

536
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:32,000
Mark, you said you lived near Clarksville, Arkansas. Is that true? I'm just curious if you said that or not. No, I did. I did.

537
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:38,000
Well, close enough. It's a little bit of a drive, yeah.

538
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:47,000
Yeah, I lived outside a little town named Lamar, which was about, I don't know, 20 miles from Clarksville, maybe something like that.

539
00:47:47,000 --> 00:48:01,000
Yeah, so anyhow, it was only, I don't even think it was a year. It was one of the times that my dad wanted to move to the country, you know, out of the city, which was a great idea.

540
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:19,000
But also, it was, he had different ideas of where we should live, including Greece, Canada, Arkansas, Missouri. And so, this was like a very brief time. I can't really claim it that well.

541
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:26,000
I mean, I think it's about a year. It may not have even been a year. But yes, I did live there, or close. So, there.

542
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:40,000
Okay. All right. Mark, who do you think farted more on stage? Pat Sajak or Vanna White? Bernie and Oak Grove? Neither. Ryan Seacrest farts more.

543
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:54,000
Yeah, Ryan. Yeah, he is, to me, he looks like a habitual farter. He's a crop duster. He'll sneak up on you. He'll hug you. He'll tell you he loves you, and he'll fart all over you and leave. That's the way I see it. Okay. Allegedly.

544
00:48:54,000 --> 00:49:14,000
Okay, but I want to answer this one. Okay. I got it. I want to give it to Vanna. You think so? Pat was on microphone the whole time. That's what it was not. Okay. Do you think that Vanna? You don't know what was going on over there.

545
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:31,000
Oh, okay. Okay. Okay. And then actually, Ryan Seacrest is on a mic too. So you're right. It would have to be Vanna farting it up. Yeah. Yeah. I stand corrected. Thank you, Rob. Okay. The answer is simple. Vanna.

546
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:46,000
All right. Thank you, Rob. I'm glad you straighten that out. Now I feel much better about the serial farter on the Wheel of Fortune. I tell you, the fucking our emailers are funnier than us, Rob. I swear.

547
00:49:46,000 --> 00:50:01,000
They always. The funny part is, we keep coming up with these answers for us. I know. Okay. Well, there you go. It's been proven. It has to be Vanna.

548
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:13,000
Next one. Mark and Rob, what is your favorite barbecue in Kansas City and what is your favorite outside of Kansas City? Go ahead, Rob, and I'll tell mine. I know exactly what mine are.

549
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:17,000
Okay.

550
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:25,000
Seeing how I haven't had barbecue in Kansas City for over 20 years. Okay.

551
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:32,000
I'm going to have to go with wobbly boots down here in Osage Beach.

552
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:48,000
Really? Okay. You know what we've done good barbecue. We're going to be down there. I'm certain next year, probably at Val's old lake house and maybe at that at that resort place that we stayed at. We accidentally happened when we're supposed to watch a concert.

553
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:52,000
So that'll be good to know wobbly boots is the name of it.

554
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:54,000
Yeah.

555
00:50:54,000 --> 00:51:01,000
Okay, not not far from Walmart and Osage Beach. I know about where that's at. Okay.

556
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:07,000
It's like heading towards the Grand Glades Bridge.

557
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:12,000
Yeah, I know about where you're at. Okay. Yeah. Okay.

558
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:17,000
All right. It's actually the old showny.

559
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:20,000
Oh, okay. I don't remember the showny.

560
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:23,000
Yeah, well, yeah, if you remember. Yeah.

561
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:34,000
Okay. Is there anyone out of town that you know of that you are fond of?

562
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:42,000
About it. You know, other than the old ones from the city, you know.

563
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:53,000
Okay, you know what? That counts for both because it's out of town here and it's your favorite there. So there you go. He answered both of them with one with one answer.

564
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:57,000
Let's see, my, my favorite in Kansas City.

565
00:51:57,000 --> 00:52:02,000
Right now would be let me think here. Gosh.

566
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:14,000
I love gates if it's done right, but you have to have to have to get to a good one. And they're not always good because a lot of them like to burn the meat. They have the fire too hot, in my opinion.

567
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:18,000
But I mean, to me, it's great if it's done right.

568
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:29,000
But it's not always done right. If you want consistency, jack stack. If you always want to know what you're getting and it's good, it's jack stack. It's not the sexy one.

569
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:38,000
Q39, meet Mitch is another one. I would say right now Q39 is probably my favorite.

570
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:49,000
And they're fantastic. And there's other ones. I mean, there's slabs. There's meet Mitch. There's a hog jaw. There's, oh, shit. What's that?

571
00:52:49,000 --> 00:53:01,000
Anyhow, so I'm gonna go ahead and say Q39, Kansas City and out of town. I'm gonna have to go with Nashville. And this is probably because I spent a lot of time there on vacations and working.

572
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:11,000
And this would be Jack Calhoun's barbecue. If you go on lower Broadway, the entertainment districts, it's just Jack's, but it's the same place.

573
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:19,000
They just call it Jack's there. If you go to one on the south side of town, it's Jack Calhoun's. And they're my favorite barbecue outside of here.

574
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:31,000
There's one in Memphis I can't think of the name of that's really good. So outside of Kansas City, I seem to like Memphis or yeah, I guess they call it Memphis style barbecue, Tennessee style, whatever.

575
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:33,000
Yeah, it's got kind of a.

576
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:34,000
Memphis style is good.

577
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:35,000
Yeah, it's good.

578
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:36,000
I'll give it to them.

579
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:43,000
Yeah. And also they know how to cook the meat right, you know, a Burn End is actually a Burn End. You can put a fork on top of it and it will almost go through it.

580
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:51,000
They do that. They know how to do the beans. They put them back on the pit. They know how to do all that stuff. The cornbread if they have it is great.

581
00:53:51,000 --> 00:54:00,000
So I'm gonna have to go with Jack Calhoun and the place in Memphis that I can't think of. But I'll tell you what I'll do a search for barbecue in Memphis.

582
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:06,000
And when I see the name, I'll know it and I'll tell you guys on the next podcast if I remember.

583
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:11,000
Okay, well to go back. Okay. You went into Gates.

584
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:12,000
Uh huh.

585
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:20,000
As you were starting your you went in Gates and that is when Jack stack popped in my head for Kansas City.

586
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:22,000
Jack stack is amazing. I mean.

587
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:26,000
I've always been a Jack stack fan.

588
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:31,000
I just haven't been up there to try any of the new ones.

589
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:37,000
You know what I mean? And actually just because I have different tastes because I've had barbecue my whole life and full disclosure.

590
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:41,000
I worked at Jack stack doing the pit a couple of times when I was younger.

591
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:44,000
And so I'm really used to their barbecue.

592
00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:49,000
They probably are the best barbecue in Kansas City. They're just not the new sexy gourmet barbecue.

593
00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:56,000
They're the steady eddy old. So actually I love Gates. I love the sauce and everything. If it's made right, it's great.

594
00:54:56,000 --> 00:55:06,000
But Jack stack is probably a little bit above them because they have menu items, all kinds of menu items, and they are consistently great.

595
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:14,000
Where Gates, like I said, man, I'm not always happy with them. I've had stuff I felt was burnt and not done right and I didn't care for.

596
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:19,000
So anyhow, so I'm going to have to do Jack stack. Thank you.

597
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:26,000
So so you would say Jack stack would be Kansas City's then, right? Yeah. OK.

598
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:31,000
All right. Well, we're both in agreement on that. And then the other ones are out of town ones. So OK.

599
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:38,000
Then the final email here is from our old friend Clint from Arkansas, Clarksville.

600
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:42,000
Do you want to hear it, Rob? Yeah. Hey, douchebags.

601
00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:48,000
This is Clint from Clarksville, Arkansas. I want to explain why I'm so angry at a podcast.

602
00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:53,000
All this anger started many years ago when I discovered that all my body grew except my genitals.

603
00:55:53,000 --> 00:56:00,000
I look I look in the mirror and scream. Why me? Well, I better get back to collecting aluminum cans for recycle money.

604
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:07,000
I'm saving up for that penis transplant. My job as a flyer hander outer does not offer health insurance, as you all know.

605
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:12,000
I also have to dumpster dive after the dollar general closes.

606
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:15,000
Every now and then I can find a good dress to wear.

607
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:21,000
I wear one because I know the douchebags could kick my soft ass at will.

608
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:29,000
By the way, just look for the eighty seven pinto with a dented up cord quarter panel,

609
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:35,000
two donut tires and an IE ass sticker on the back of it. That's me, Clint.

610
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:41,000
He said he said that Rob, he said that in the Christmas spirit.

611
00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:46,000
Oh, my God. Now I feel bad for the guy.

612
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:50,000
OK, I think everybody knows. Oh, I don't know.

613
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:53,000
No, no, no, me neither. No, no, no. That's what he said.

614
00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:57,000
I'm sticking to it. No one can prove it. You started it, Clint.

615
00:56:57,000 --> 00:57:01,000
Yeah, I couldn't believe that he was so honest with me about his extremely small penis.

616
00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:07,000
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I do kind of feel sorry for him.

617
00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:10,000
Well, imagine that, you know, your body keeps growing, but your penis doesn't.

618
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:15,000
When you feel cheated. That's where you had me, dude.

619
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:18,000
Yeah, I started feeling bad for him.

620
00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:22,000
Yeah, we're sorry about your micro penis syndrome.

621
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:29,000
We hope you can save up enough aluminum cans to get that very badly needed penis transplant.

622
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:34,000
So, Clint, we wish you the best. We love you. We hope you get a real penis soon.

623
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:38,000
Right. Can we say that, Rob? Right. Yeah, yeah.

624
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:45,000
Yes. Everybody, everybody, let's let's send some love to Clint in Clarksville, Arkansas.

625
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:49,000
He he gets a lot of cans from Rusty's.

626
00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:53,000
Rusty's used cars on the main drag there. You know that?

627
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:57,000
He gets a lot of beer cans from the back of there. So I bet he does.

628
00:57:57,000 --> 00:58:00,000
Yeah, yeah. They like to sit down there and watch cars go by and drink beer.

629
00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:04,000
So, yeah, he very alertly goes over there right after he grabs aluminum cans.

630
00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:09,000
And one of these days he will have him a brand new penis.

631
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:13,000
So let's go ahead and take our second break and come right back.

632
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:20,000
Yeah, I think we need it after that. OK.

633
00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:25,000
Oh, shit. What's that over there? Oh, no.

634
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:30,000
It's the island of horrible jokes.

635
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:38,000
What do you call a bundle of hay in church?

636
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:49,000
Christian Bale.

637
00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:55,000
The day of apocalypse just happened. You don't know what to do. You don't know where to go.

638
00:58:55,000 --> 00:58:59,000
But we can tell you what you can eat.

639
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:04,000
Dirt and apocalypse. Don't forget the nuts. Hickory nuts, that is.

640
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:08,000
Yeah, we know Hickory wood gets all the glory and all the love.

641
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:16,000
Everyone loves the Hickory trees. They cut them down and they make great sandwiches out of barbecue and meats.

642
00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:20,000
They make a lot of good stuff. They make a lot of good stuff.

643
00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:25,000
And it's a fantastic deal. But little does anyone know about the Hickory nuts.

644
00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:31,000
Dirt and apocalypse Hickory nuts could be the best thing you can find.

645
00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:35,000
Hickory nuts can be eaten raw, toasted or added to various recipes.

646
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:42,000
Their rich buttery flavor and crunchy texture make them an ideal ingredient for both sweet and savory dishes.

647
00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:47,000
They're even a unique Hickory nut milk. There are five types of Hickory nuts.

648
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:55,000
Bitter nut Hickory, Shag Bark Hickory, Pig Nut Hickory, Mockernut Hickory and Smooth Bark Hickory.

649
00:59:55,000 --> 01:00:02,000
Hickory trees are considered part of the walnut species and are plentiful at least around Missouri and surrounding areas.

650
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:06,000
So, during an apocalypse, don't forget to grab your nuts.

651
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:12,000
Hey there, fuckstick. You're just in time for brand new feature news nobody gives a shit about.

652
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:21,000
At any given airport, at any given 60 seconds, you're actually breathing in at least three farts.

653
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:30,000
Now it's time for pick up lines from a loser.

654
01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:37,000
Are you an appendix? I don't know who you are or what you do, but I feel like I should take you out.

655
01:00:42,000 --> 01:00:47,000
And now, a brand new feature, strange insults from an alien.

656
01:00:47,000 --> 01:01:00,000
May you always step in a wet spot after putting on fresh socks.

657
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:15,000
Welcome back. This is the Two Douchebags and Microphone podcast operating in the middle of America at the Talk Is Cheap Studio and the Duck Flying Studio where Rob resides, two and a half hours away from I.

658
01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:20,000
I'm Mark. And I am Rob.

659
01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:25,000
Okay, Rob, you got something. Yeah, I do. Okay.

660
01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:29,000
Let me ask you something, Mark. Okay.

661
01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:43,000
What would you do if you were sitting in a tree stand hunting deer and a mountain lion or a cougar crossed your path? What would you do?

662
01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:53,000
Okay. If it was not coming after me or acknowledging me, I wouldn't do anything. I'd let it go.

663
01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:58,000
Now, if it was coming after me, I wouldn't want to do it. But if it got too close, I would have to shoot it.

664
01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:06,000
Because if it's down to me or that beautiful animal, it's me. I'm going to be the one living because I have a weapon. Right?

665
01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:10,000
Good answer. Good answer.

666
01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:15,000
I think that's the only answer with anybody saying, but go ahead.

667
01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:26,000
Well, some people tend to take them as a threat, you know, like a coyote or whatever.

668
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:35,000
They're not. They're more docile. I mean, the shit you see on TV is completely wrong. They run from you. They don't like us. They know we're bad.

669
01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:40,000
So let me go into this. Okay.

670
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:50,000
A Missouri deer hunter who shot and killed a mountain lion as it passed beneath his tree stand last month has been charged with a misdemeanor.

671
01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:52,000
Should be worse than that.

672
01:02:52,000 --> 01:03:12,000
According to KY3 News, we're going to call him Joseph, the Solge Missouri informed the Iron County Sheriff's Department on November 16th that he had shot a mountain lion or cougar while in the tree stand with his partner.

673
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:22,000
Missouri does not have an established cougar population, but a handful of sightings are reported each year.

674
01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:31,000
The protected animals can only be killed in self-defense or to protect pets for livestock.

675
01:03:31,000 --> 01:03:47,000
The cougar that he killed was wearing research tags from the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission and walking away from the elevated stand when it was shot.

676
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:56,000
That's bullshit. But you know, in Kansas City, we have a lot of cougars and you can go down to the Green Lady Lounge, the Jazz Bar.

677
01:03:56,000 --> 01:04:01,000
Yeah, we got quite a few cougars down there too.

678
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:06,000
Yeah, there's a lot of cougars in the lake area too. But anyhow, go ahead.

679
01:04:06,000 --> 01:04:08,000
No, that was it on that.

680
01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:10,000
Oh, that was it. Okay.

681
01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:24,000
Yeah, in the state of Missouri, as long as you're not being attacked or your family or pets are not being attacked, you cannot kill a cougar or a mountain lion.

682
01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:34,000
I would have to agree with them 100%. That's bullshit. You don't have any reason to attack them because they're not going to hurt you, I guarantee it. They don't like us.

683
01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:44,000
Well, I'm just saying that because I'm sure we have quite a few listeners that hunt.

684
01:04:44,000 --> 01:04:46,000
I think any true hunter knows better.

685
01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:47,000
I'm just telling it out there.

686
01:04:47,000 --> 01:04:54,000
Don't you think that any true hunter knows better? Not some poacher fuck?

687
01:04:54,000 --> 01:04:57,000
Well, if you live in the country, you may not, you know.

688
01:04:57,000 --> 01:05:01,000
If you're not going to eat it, you don't kill it is what I say.

689
01:05:01,000 --> 01:05:10,000
Well, I could see where a farmer or somebody would go ahead and kill it just to keep from future problems.

690
01:05:10,000 --> 01:05:15,000
If your chickens are disappearing and you see that thing come around, I get that.

691
01:05:15,000 --> 01:05:21,000
If your dogs are disappearing, your cats disappearing and you see that, yes, I get that.

692
01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:26,000
So there are stipulations. Thank you, Rob, for saying that because I was not thinking that.

693
01:05:26,000 --> 01:05:30,000
I'm just pissed off at this guy for shooting it for nothing.

694
01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:34,000
Right, right, right. He did, he did. I'll give you that.

695
01:05:34,000 --> 01:05:39,000
Okay. I got a little thing here. This was interesting, okay?

696
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:46,000
So I was talking to some younger friends. I would say they're probably 30ish, somewhere like that.

697
01:05:46,000 --> 01:05:50,000
And we're talking about, you know, having drive and a will to excel, right?

698
01:05:50,000 --> 01:05:54,000
About how it escapes a lot of people anymore. You know, a lot of people.

699
01:05:54,000 --> 01:05:58,000
You do your job with vigor, right? You do your job the best you can.

700
01:05:58,000 --> 01:06:02,000
And you take pride in what you do, right, Rob?

701
01:06:02,000 --> 01:06:04,000
Right. Yeah, I do.

702
01:06:04,000 --> 01:06:12,000
You thrive on being the best at what you do, like I do. Like, people, you know, people,

703
01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:16,000
it looks to me like a lot of that drive is kind of gone. I could be wrong.

704
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:22,000
So I use the term gusto and all of them looked at me and they thought I just made up the word.

705
01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:25,000
You remember gusto, right?

706
01:06:25,000 --> 01:06:29,000
Yeah, you go with your gusto, everything you got.

707
01:06:29,000 --> 01:06:34,000
Yeah. You know, I guess that word isn't used by younger generations.

708
01:06:34,000 --> 01:06:39,000
I remember when Schlitz beer was balling hard in the 70s.

709
01:06:39,000 --> 01:06:42,000
Virtually every pub had a Schlitz sign in front of it.

710
01:06:42,000 --> 01:06:47,000
I remember the TV commercials that said Schlitz has gusto.

711
01:06:47,000 --> 01:06:49,000
This meant if... Yeah, it did.

712
01:06:49,000 --> 01:06:55,000
Yeah. Yeah. This meant if you drink Schlitz, you're a go-getter, a stud, the man, right?

713
01:06:55,000 --> 01:07:01,000
Okay, so I mean that was pretty much, you know, they didn't understand it.

714
01:07:01,000 --> 01:07:07,000
And now I understand where, you know, what's going on is gusto is an outdated term now, right?

715
01:07:07,000 --> 01:07:10,000
Yeah, I could see that.

716
01:07:10,000 --> 01:07:12,000
Yeah, it was kind of depressing.

717
01:07:12,000 --> 01:07:16,000
I mean, we were using it in the 70s, 80s, you know.

718
01:07:16,000 --> 01:07:21,000
And Schlitz used to have that famous commercial. They had the Bull Schlitz malt liquor Bull.

719
01:07:21,000 --> 01:07:28,000
And then they had the regular Schlitz that said, gusto, if you drink Schlitz, you do what?

720
01:07:28,000 --> 01:07:32,000
I remember having a Schlitz shirt wearing at the school, you know.

721
01:07:32,000 --> 01:07:37,000
Yeah. Yeah. They didn't like it too well, did they?

722
01:07:37,000 --> 01:07:39,000
They never said anything.

723
01:07:39,000 --> 01:07:45,000
Yeah, I don't think they could actually because that's, I believe that happened in Midway too, Cass Midway.

724
01:07:45,000 --> 01:07:47,000
I think they were... I remember correctly.

725
01:07:47,000 --> 01:07:50,000
Well, they can now. They can now. They couldn't then.

726
01:07:50,000 --> 01:07:53,000
They just didn't like it and kind of frowned upon you.

727
01:07:53,000 --> 01:08:03,000
So anyhow, so I bothered to look up the term gusto in the Cambridge Dictionary and it had this offering.

728
01:08:03,000 --> 01:08:07,000
Gusto was taken from Latin.

729
01:08:07,000 --> 01:08:15,000
It means that great energy, enthusiasm, enjoyment that is experienced by someone taking part in activity, especially a performance.

730
01:08:15,000 --> 01:08:29,000
So if you're looking at it like this, Schlitz was saying that drinking their beer was an activity and you do it with vigorous and joy and entertainment and happiness, right?

731
01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:30,000
Yeah.

732
01:08:30,000 --> 01:08:34,000
Okay. So here's how they described it.

733
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:41,000
Okay. The energy and enthusiasm, enjoyment that experienced by someone taking part in activity, especially a performance with gusto.

734
01:08:41,000 --> 01:08:45,000
Erwin joined in singing with great gusto.

735
01:08:45,000 --> 01:08:52,000
I guess we've been kind of slightly misusing that because Schlitz kind of slightly misused it too.

736
01:08:52,000 --> 01:08:56,000
But I guess they didn't really because it's not...

737
01:08:56,000 --> 01:08:57,000
Not really.

738
01:08:57,000 --> 01:09:07,000
No, because I could see that you translate that to drinking beer and it's done with vigorous, you know, excitement, joy, enthusiasm.

739
01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:10,000
And what do you normally do when you get drunk?

740
01:09:10,000 --> 01:09:12,000
You're enjoying the hell out of yourself.

741
01:09:12,000 --> 01:09:13,000
That's right.

742
01:09:13,000 --> 01:09:15,000
You're singing.

743
01:09:15,000 --> 01:09:16,000
That's true.

744
01:09:16,000 --> 01:09:19,000
Okay, Rob, you know what? You just put it in perspective for me.

745
01:09:19,000 --> 01:09:20,000
Thank you.

746
01:09:20,000 --> 01:09:24,000
So, okay, okay, Rob, I'm going to go with this on it.

747
01:09:24,000 --> 01:09:25,000
Okay.

748
01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:28,000
So let's have a podcast with gusto.

749
01:09:28,000 --> 01:09:35,000
Or how about let's start giving us the slogan, two douchebags and microphone, the only podcast with gusto.

750
01:09:35,000 --> 01:09:36,000
That's right.

751
01:09:36,000 --> 01:09:37,000
Just like Schlitz beer.

752
01:09:37,000 --> 01:09:38,000
Google it.

753
01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:40,000
Hey, we could use it.

754
01:09:40,000 --> 01:09:41,000
Yeah.

755
01:09:41,000 --> 01:09:42,000
Well, good.

756
01:09:42,000 --> 01:09:43,000
I already have it.

757
01:09:43,000 --> 01:09:44,000
We could use it.

758
01:09:44,000 --> 01:09:46,000
That's good because I already have it made up.

759
01:09:46,000 --> 01:09:47,000
Good.

760
01:09:47,000 --> 01:09:49,000
Yeah, it's going to be in this one.

761
01:09:49,000 --> 01:09:51,000
So there you go.

762
01:09:51,000 --> 01:09:53,000
We have gusto.

763
01:09:53,000 --> 01:09:54,000
All right.

764
01:09:54,000 --> 01:09:58,000
We turn to you, Rob.

765
01:09:58,000 --> 01:09:59,000
All right.

766
01:09:59,000 --> 01:10:03,000
Well, I have some unfortunate news.

767
01:10:03,000 --> 01:10:06,000
Uh-oh.

768
01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:08,000
Yes, yes.

769
01:10:08,000 --> 01:10:13,000
I just saw my app to tell everybody.

770
01:10:13,000 --> 01:10:14,000
Okay.

771
01:10:14,000 --> 01:10:19,000
A crocodile dundee legend has passed away.

772
01:10:19,000 --> 01:10:21,000
Okay.

773
01:10:21,000 --> 01:10:37,000
Bert, the 5.1 meter, 700 kilogram crocodile from the 1986 comedic adventure movie died in captivity in Darwin, Australia.

774
01:10:37,000 --> 01:10:38,000
Oh.

775
01:10:38,000 --> 01:10:42,000
You know, the crocodile that's known for the picture.

776
01:10:42,000 --> 01:10:43,000
Yeah.

777
01:10:43,000 --> 01:10:44,000
Yeah.

778
01:10:44,000 --> 01:10:45,000
Yeah.

779
01:10:45,000 --> 01:10:46,000
Um, okay.

780
01:10:46,000 --> 01:10:49,000
Oh, go ahead.

781
01:10:49,000 --> 01:10:56,000
The huge crocodile was estimated to be over 90 years old.

782
01:10:56,000 --> 01:11:09,000
Crocosaurus Cove, who had kept the croc in captivity since 2008, announced the news on Monday in a social media post.

783
01:11:09,000 --> 01:11:17,000
Bert was passed away peacefully over the weekend, estimated to be 90.

784
01:11:17,000 --> 01:11:20,000
He'd become an animal attraction.

785
01:11:20,000 --> 01:11:21,000
Oh, I'm sure.

786
01:11:21,000 --> 01:11:22,000
That's what he did.

787
01:11:22,000 --> 01:11:24,000
If I was down there.

788
01:11:24,000 --> 01:11:27,000
And he was on a crocodile farm.

789
01:11:27,000 --> 01:11:28,000
You know.

790
01:11:28,000 --> 01:11:29,000
So that's good.

791
01:11:29,000 --> 01:11:30,000
He is doing what crocodiles do.

792
01:11:30,000 --> 01:11:36,000
Oh, but it does say here, Bert was a confirmed bachelor.

793
01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:38,000
He's gay?

794
01:11:38,000 --> 01:11:40,000
No, he was a bachelor.

795
01:11:40,000 --> 01:11:47,000
No, that used to be code for a man being gay back in the like the fifties, the golden era of Hollywood.

796
01:11:47,000 --> 01:11:53,000
They used to say he is a confirmed bachelor because they couldn't come out and go, um, well, he's gay.

797
01:11:53,000 --> 01:11:55,000
So anyhow, it doesn't mean anything.

798
01:11:55,000 --> 01:11:57,000
Anyhow, go ahead.

799
01:11:57,000 --> 01:12:03,000
It says an attitude he made clear during his early years at a crocodile farm.

800
01:12:03,000 --> 01:12:04,000
Okay.

801
01:12:04,000 --> 01:12:07,000
All right.

802
01:12:07,000 --> 01:12:11,000
So, you know, when he got pissed, he got taken out of the spotlight.

803
01:12:11,000 --> 01:12:15,000
He's used to them rich crocodile women.

804
01:12:15,000 --> 01:12:21,000
And now, you know, he's down home.

805
01:12:21,000 --> 01:12:22,000
You know what?

806
01:12:22,000 --> 01:12:23,000
You're right.

807
01:12:23,000 --> 01:12:24,000
You're right.

808
01:12:24,000 --> 01:12:25,000
He got tired of their shit and he said, none of you are getting me.

809
01:12:25,000 --> 01:12:26,000
How about that shit?

810
01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:27,000
Right?

811
01:12:27,000 --> 01:12:28,000
Yeah.

812
01:12:28,000 --> 01:12:30,000
I'm too good for you.

813
01:12:30,000 --> 01:12:32,000
That's awesome.

814
01:12:32,000 --> 01:12:37,000
Well, R.I.P., you lovable crocodile.

815
01:12:37,000 --> 01:12:38,000
We hope you're in that.

816
01:12:38,000 --> 01:12:44,000
We're sure you're in that crocodile heaven up in the sky somewhere, aren't we?

817
01:12:44,000 --> 01:12:45,000
Yeah.

818
01:12:45,000 --> 01:12:46,000
Yep.

819
01:12:46,000 --> 01:12:47,000
Thank you.

820
01:12:47,000 --> 01:12:48,000
That's a pretty cool story.

821
01:12:48,000 --> 01:12:50,000
All right.

822
01:12:50,000 --> 01:12:51,000
I've got this.

823
01:12:51,000 --> 01:12:53,000
I got this full disclosure.

824
01:12:53,000 --> 01:12:55,000
I got this from Fox four Kansas City.

825
01:12:55,000 --> 01:13:01,000
They do some pretty neat stuff in the mornings and they have some neat little, you know, some what would you call them?

826
01:13:01,000 --> 01:13:08,000
Funny or interesting articles, not just all, you know, someone shot somebody stuff, right?

827
01:13:08,000 --> 01:13:09,000
So, yeah.

828
01:13:09,000 --> 01:13:10,000
Yeah.

829
01:13:10,000 --> 01:13:11,000
OK.

830
01:13:11,000 --> 01:13:21,000
They have a list here and I looked it up and I got a little bit larger detail list of these are the grinchiest cities in the country.

831
01:13:21,000 --> 01:13:23,000
OK.

832
01:13:23,000 --> 01:13:24,000
OK.

833
01:13:24,000 --> 01:13:25,000
OK.

834
01:13:25,000 --> 01:13:35,000
Number one, they rank seventy one point two out of a hundred for Christmas spirit is Minnesota.

835
01:13:35,000 --> 01:13:38,000
Too much snow, maybe they're mad.

836
01:13:38,000 --> 01:13:41,000
Yeah.

837
01:13:41,000 --> 01:13:42,000
Yeah.

838
01:13:42,000 --> 01:13:43,000
That's how I'm going to go with too much snow.

839
01:13:43,000 --> 01:13:44,000
Too much snow.

840
01:13:44,000 --> 01:13:45,000
Yep.

841
01:13:45,000 --> 01:13:46,000
Yeah.

842
01:13:46,000 --> 01:13:47,000
Too cold.

843
01:13:47,000 --> 01:13:48,000
Yeah.

844
01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:49,000
It's cold.

845
01:13:49,000 --> 01:13:50,000
Yeah.

846
01:13:50,000 --> 01:13:51,000
I see why they'd have an attitude.

847
01:13:51,000 --> 01:13:52,000
Yeah.

848
01:13:52,000 --> 01:13:53,000
Yeah.

849
01:13:53,000 --> 01:13:54,000
I would too.

850
01:13:54,000 --> 01:13:56,000
Well, the next one is a cold weather city too.

851
01:13:56,000 --> 01:14:07,000
It's on the coast, but still it's a cold weather city and that's it's on the Upper East Coast, Northeast Hartford, Connecticut, where I've been a couple of times on jobs.

852
01:14:07,000 --> 01:14:12,000
And it's a beautiful city and the ocean up there, contrary to popular belief, is beautiful.

853
01:14:12,000 --> 01:14:14,000
It's just a different type of a color up there.

854
01:14:14,000 --> 01:14:15,000
You don't have the teals.

855
01:14:15,000 --> 01:14:21,000
It's more of a crystal blue, kind of like what would be up in Alaska and stuff like that.

856
01:14:21,000 --> 01:14:25,000
They rank 67 out of 100 for Christmas spirit.

857
01:14:25,000 --> 01:14:29,000
Or actually it's like this is number seven or something like that.

858
01:14:29,000 --> 01:14:32,000
And actually I have another page here.

859
01:14:32,000 --> 01:14:37,000
Los Angeles was the grinchiest city in the country and it didn't give how bad they were.

860
01:14:37,000 --> 01:14:40,000
So Los Angeles, Minneapolis is second.

861
01:14:40,000 --> 01:14:44,000
Third is Hartford, Connecticut.

862
01:14:44,000 --> 01:14:48,000
Fourth is Riverside, California, which is really close to Los Angeles.

863
01:14:48,000 --> 01:14:53,000
So I think the it bled over into Riverside, right?

864
01:14:53,000 --> 01:14:54,000
Yeah.

865
01:14:54,000 --> 01:14:58,000
So they rank sixty one point seven out of 100.

866
01:14:58,000 --> 01:15:06,000
And if you're wondering what Los Angeles was, it did not give what Los Angeles came in at on the Christmas spirit.

867
01:15:06,000 --> 01:15:08,000
However, they do this thing here.

868
01:15:08,000 --> 01:15:15,000
Atlanta, Georgia, ranked sixty one point five out of 100, whatever that means for Christmas spirit.

869
01:15:15,000 --> 01:15:16,000
Atlanta, I don't know.

870
01:15:16,000 --> 01:15:21,000
I guess just the fact that they're in Atlanta, maybe that's why they're mad.

871
01:15:21,000 --> 01:15:23,000
Maybe.

872
01:15:23,000 --> 01:15:25,000
Yeah, could be. Yeah.

873
01:15:25,000 --> 01:15:26,000
Yeah. OK.

874
01:15:26,000 --> 01:15:31,000
The next one is Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, which the chiefs will be there tomorrow.

875
01:15:31,000 --> 01:15:34,000
Hopefully kick an ass.

876
01:15:34,000 --> 01:15:37,000
Rank sixty one point four out of 100 for Christmas spirit.

877
01:15:37,000 --> 01:15:39,000
Orlando, Florida is next.

878
01:15:39,000 --> 01:15:42,000
I don't know what they have to be bummed about.

879
01:15:42,000 --> 01:15:46,000
So sixty one point four out of 100 for Christmas spirit.

880
01:15:46,000 --> 01:15:52,000
Buffalo, New York, ranked sixty point nine out of 100 for Christmas spirit.

881
01:15:52,000 --> 01:15:57,000
Providence, Rhode Island, ranked sixty point five out of 100 for Christmas spirit.

882
01:15:57,000 --> 01:16:01,000
Salt Lake City, Utah, ranked sixty point three out of 100 for Christmas spirit.

883
01:16:01,000 --> 01:16:04,000
And I know why they're the Mormons, probably, right?

884
01:16:04,000 --> 01:16:08,000
They probably don't believe in celebrating Christmas too much.

885
01:16:08,000 --> 01:16:09,000
Yeah, probably not. Yeah.

886
01:16:09,000 --> 01:16:12,000
They're like, oh, that's a pagan holiday. Get away from me. You guys are the devil.

887
01:16:12,000 --> 01:16:16,000
I don't want to burn in hell. So don't I will not look you in the eyes.

888
01:16:16,000 --> 01:16:20,000
So there we go. And finally, Cincinnati, Ohio.

889
01:16:20,000 --> 01:16:26,000
And that's because the Bengals. The Bengals, would you be in Christmas spirit?

890
01:16:26,000 --> 01:16:30,000
Yeah, you know, yeah, no, that's it right there.

891
01:16:30,000 --> 01:16:35,000
I blame the Cincinnati Bengals and nobody cares about the Reds, so I can't blame them.

892
01:16:35,000 --> 01:16:41,000
So there you go. Cincinnati Bengals, you are the reason there's no Christmas spirit in Cincinnati.

893
01:16:41,000 --> 01:16:47,000
And I hope Ruthann is listening, but I'm sure she's not. Remember, Ruthann?

894
01:16:47,000 --> 01:16:52,000
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember Ruthann. Yep. Oh, hi, Ricky.

895
01:16:52,000 --> 01:16:59,000
I wish she would come back to us. I know if she is, she's not. She's not sending me emails.

896
01:16:59,000 --> 01:17:03,000
She's talking to you and not me. Oh, she was mad at hell at me.

897
01:17:03,000 --> 01:17:07,000
She liked you, but you plead with her. You said, hey, I didn't do it. Listen for me.

898
01:17:07,000 --> 01:17:13,000
But she no, no, no, no. Rob, I'm sorry she betrayed you.

899
01:17:13,000 --> 01:17:19,000
Yeah. Yeah. So Ruthann, if you're listening. Yeah. Yeah. I heard where you were going.

900
01:17:19,000 --> 01:17:25,000
Yes. Hi, Ricky. Yeah. Hi, Ricky. I heard that. Dodge City, Kansas. Love you guys.

901
01:17:25,000 --> 01:17:30,000
Or him. Love you. Thanks for listening, Ricky. All right.

902
01:17:30,000 --> 01:17:35,000
And then here are the cities in the United States are known for their Christmas spirit.

903
01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:40,000
Number one is Austin, Texas. This is according to Thumbtack, which is online magazine.

904
01:17:40,000 --> 01:17:44,000
Austin is the most festive city in the U.S. for 2024.

905
01:17:44,000 --> 01:17:51,000
It's known for its many places of worship, charitable giving and family friendly activities.

906
01:17:51,000 --> 01:17:55,000
OK. All right. I can see that.

907
01:17:55,000 --> 01:18:00,000
Wallet Hub named. Now, this is how much these things vary. OK.

908
01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:08,000
Atlanta was on the Grinch, his city. Well, Wallet Hub is saying that Atlanta, Georgia is the second

909
01:18:08,000 --> 01:18:13,000
most jolly city, if you will.

910
01:18:13,000 --> 01:18:18,000
So I don't know how you can be the Grinch is in the jolly is all in the same breath.

911
01:18:18,000 --> 01:18:24,000
Unless it's a percentage deal, you know, like have to survive.

912
01:18:24,000 --> 01:18:27,000
I think they're bipolar. That's it right there.

913
01:18:27,000 --> 01:18:31,000
Yeah, they got to be. Yeah, they're bipolar. OK.

914
01:18:31,000 --> 01:18:36,000
I got it now. Yeah. And the rest of these are Wallet Hub are saying these.

915
01:18:36,000 --> 01:18:41,000
The next one is Telluride, Colorado. And that's because it is beautiful there.

916
01:18:41,000 --> 01:18:47,000
Oh, my gosh. If you don't know Telluride and I'm not talking about the key SUV.

917
01:18:47,000 --> 01:18:51,000
Telluride, Colorado is one of the most beautiful places on earth.

918
01:18:51,000 --> 01:18:55,000
It is gorgeous. So I would be happy as hell there, too.

919
01:18:55,000 --> 01:19:00,000
So this town is known for its Victoria Victorian style buildings,

920
01:19:00,000 --> 01:19:02,000
which are decorated with Christmas lights and snow.

921
01:19:02,000 --> 01:19:07,000
No night on the first Wednesday of December is a celebration that includes train rides,

922
01:19:07,000 --> 01:19:14,000
holiday movies, ice skating and that that that that that.

923
01:19:14,000 --> 01:19:17,000
And horse driven sleigh rides.

924
01:19:17,000 --> 01:19:21,000
Middleburg, Middleburg, Virginia is the next one.

925
01:19:21,000 --> 01:19:26,000
This town is Virginia's horse and hunt country is known for its old fashioned

926
01:19:26,000 --> 01:19:32,000
Christmas visitors can enjoy a parade of hounds shopper holiday decor and drink hard cider.

927
01:19:32,000 --> 01:19:35,000
That's it right there. The hard cider is it in it.

928
01:19:35,000 --> 01:19:39,000
Another Hallmark movie. There we. Yes.

929
01:19:39,000 --> 01:19:43,000
And finally. No, no, no. There's two of them.

930
01:19:43,000 --> 01:19:47,000
OK, Cape May, New Jersey.

931
01:19:47,000 --> 01:19:52,000
This Jersey Shore town is known for its family friendly activities, architecture and sweet treats.

932
01:19:52,000 --> 01:19:56,000
During the holidays, the town is decorated with garlands and festive lights.

933
01:19:56,000 --> 01:20:00,000
And finally, the Kadesh, Louisiana.

934
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:04,000
If you look if you look it up, you're not going to recognize the spelling.

935
01:20:04,000 --> 01:20:07,000
But anyhow, the Kadesh is how it is pronounced.

936
01:20:07,000 --> 01:20:10,000
Family friendly festivities and boat parade.

937
01:20:10,000 --> 01:20:15,000
Is a star event that features string lights and fireworks reflecting on the Cane River.

938
01:20:15,000 --> 01:20:22,000
So all you have to do if you want to look up the Kadesh, Louisiana is just a Google Voice or series.

939
01:20:22,000 --> 01:20:26,000
The Kadesh, the way it's pronounced and it will give you the real name of it,

940
01:20:26,000 --> 01:20:31,000
which is looks like it should be buggered about Louisiana.

941
01:20:31,000 --> 01:20:34,000
So that is it right there.

942
01:20:34,000 --> 01:20:37,000
Rob, we turn to you.

943
01:20:37,000 --> 01:20:41,000
OK, I have another Christmas one for you.

944
01:20:41,000 --> 01:20:43,000
All right. Sounds good.

945
01:20:43,000 --> 01:20:48,000
And this is according to US. USA Today.

946
01:20:48,000 --> 01:20:55,000
OK, these are 10 of the worst Christmas songs.

947
01:20:55,000 --> 01:21:02,000
This goes hand in hand with the Grinch, the city is in the in the Jolly and this is awesome.

948
01:21:02,000 --> 01:21:06,000
OK, they have number 10 in sync.

949
01:21:06,000 --> 01:21:09,000
They never knew the meaning of Christmas.

950
01:21:09,000 --> 01:21:12,000
Agreed. Agreed, Rob.

951
01:21:12,000 --> 01:21:15,000
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yep.

952
01:21:15,000 --> 01:21:18,000
I thought I said that higher up. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

953
01:21:18,000 --> 01:21:21,000
Yeah. Fringe worthy. Definitely.

954
01:21:21,000 --> 01:21:28,000
OK, number nine, Neil Diamond, Cherry Cherry Christmas.

955
01:21:28,000 --> 01:21:33,000
That should have been higher, too.

956
01:21:33,000 --> 01:21:37,000
OK, OK. Number eight.

957
01:21:37,000 --> 01:21:40,000
Number eight, I think should have been number one.

958
01:21:40,000 --> 01:21:51,000
OK, the killers don't shoot me, Santa.

959
01:21:51,000 --> 01:21:55,000
Perfect. Perfect.

960
01:21:55,000 --> 01:21:57,000
I've never heard it just by the name.

961
01:21:57,000 --> 01:22:03,000
I haven't either, but that's what I'm going by is the name sounds perfect for what they're talking about.

962
01:22:03,000 --> 01:22:09,000
Yeah. OK. Number seven, the Pussycat Dolls Santa Baby.

963
01:22:09,000 --> 01:22:13,000
I've heard that one and I actually love the Pussycat Dolls.

964
01:22:13,000 --> 01:22:18,000
They are shocking, would you say? Interesting.

965
01:22:18,000 --> 01:22:21,000
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

966
01:22:21,000 --> 01:22:26,000
They are different and I love them.

967
01:22:26,000 --> 01:22:34,000
OK, number six, Lou Monte, Dominic the Donkey.

968
01:22:34,000 --> 01:22:39,000
Oh, gosh. Dominic the Donkey.

969
01:22:39,000 --> 01:22:42,000
That's that's a good one. That is a good one.

970
01:22:42,000 --> 01:22:45,000
And it's really hard to find that song even online.

971
01:22:45,000 --> 01:22:49,000
Yeah, it is. Yeah, it is. Yeah, it is.

972
01:22:49,000 --> 01:22:56,000
Number five, New Kids on the Block, Funky Funky Ixmus.

973
01:22:56,000 --> 01:22:58,000
Yeah, I agree with that. I agree with that.

974
01:22:58,000 --> 01:23:01,000
Anything new kids should be totally thrown away.

975
01:23:01,000 --> 01:23:07,000
Yeah, it should be on the top five worst.

976
01:23:07,000 --> 01:23:12,000
Yeah, they all need punch in the face for even trying.

977
01:23:12,000 --> 01:23:16,000
But that's OK. Number four,

978
01:23:16,000 --> 01:23:22,000
Jessica and Ashley Simpson, the little drummer boy.

979
01:23:22,000 --> 01:23:27,000
Oh, I've never heard it, but I can tell you right now, I agree with that 100 percent.

980
01:23:27,000 --> 01:23:32,000
You? They nailed the sisters.

981
01:23:32,000 --> 01:23:35,000
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

982
01:23:35,000 --> 01:23:40,000
Anything that those two do. Yeah. Yeah.

983
01:23:40,000 --> 01:23:45,000
OK, number three, new song, The Christmas Shoes.

984
01:23:45,000 --> 01:23:48,000
I don't know this. I don't either.

985
01:23:48,000 --> 01:23:54,000
I'll have to look it up. Hmm.

986
01:23:54,000 --> 01:23:56,000
Oh, my God. No way.

987
01:23:56,000 --> 01:23:59,000
What's that? What?

988
01:23:59,000 --> 01:24:05,000
Number two, Elmo and Patsy, Grandma Got Ran Over by a Reindeer.

989
01:24:05,000 --> 01:24:08,000
No way. That's one of the best songs.

990
01:24:08,000 --> 01:24:11,000
Yeah, they have it as a number two worst.

991
01:24:11,000 --> 01:24:16,000
Man, this this this list was perfect until then.

992
01:24:16,000 --> 01:24:20,000
I could not disagree more with that.

993
01:24:20,000 --> 01:24:25,000
Yeah. And actually, number one, I don't agree with either.

994
01:24:25,000 --> 01:24:28,000
OK.

995
01:24:28,000 --> 01:24:33,000
Alvin and the Chipmunks Christmas Don't Be Late.

996
01:24:33,000 --> 01:24:38,000
That is not Elvis Alvin and the Chipmunks best Christmas song,

997
01:24:38,000 --> 01:24:41,000
but it should not be on there. It should not be on there.

998
01:24:41,000 --> 01:24:44,000
No, there are a million songs.

999
01:24:44,000 --> 01:24:47,000
We can grab all alone, dude. Yeah.

1000
01:24:47,000 --> 01:24:48,000
Grandma alone. Yeah.

1001
01:24:48,000 --> 01:24:50,000
I mean, what are they going to do next?

1002
01:24:50,000 --> 01:24:52,000
John, John Lennon. So this is Christmas.

1003
01:24:52,000 --> 01:24:54,000
Are they going to throw that on there?

1004
01:24:54,000 --> 01:24:57,000
You know, Billy Squire Christmas is time to say I love you.

1005
01:24:57,000 --> 01:24:59,000
Is that going to be on there, too? What the hell?

1006
01:24:59,000 --> 01:25:03,000
You are messing with classics, whoever you are that came up with this list.

1007
01:25:03,000 --> 01:25:05,000
And we are not happy. Right.

1008
01:25:05,000 --> 01:25:08,000
I agree with most of the last two.

1009
01:25:08,000 --> 01:25:10,000
Yeah. The first ones were perfect.

1010
01:25:10,000 --> 01:25:12,000
The last two were completely wrong.

1011
01:25:12,000 --> 01:25:16,000
So wow.

1012
01:25:16,000 --> 01:25:22,000
You ever hear about Dyer's Burgers in in Memphis?

1013
01:25:22,000 --> 01:25:26,000
I've heard of them. Yeah. OK.

1014
01:25:26,000 --> 01:25:30,000
This, too, I got from Fox four in the morning.

1015
01:25:30,000 --> 01:25:33,000
And like always, they tell a little bit about it.

1016
01:25:33,000 --> 01:25:35,000
They can't go in depth.

1017
01:25:35,000 --> 01:25:43,000
So what I do is I simply look up what they're talking about and report it more in depth because I believe they're interesting stories.

1018
01:25:43,000 --> 01:25:56,000
And I think they are. So anyhow, back in 1912, the late Elmer Doc Dyer opened his own cafe and began to develop a secret cooking process for the uniquely delicious world famous burgers.

1019
01:25:56,000 --> 01:25:59,000
We still serve here today on Beale Street.

1020
01:25:59,000 --> 01:26:01,000
Now, I went right by that place several times.

1021
01:26:01,000 --> 01:26:09,000
I never went in there and I thought about going in there because it does have, you know, since 1912 and I knew there's some sort of gimmick to it.

1022
01:26:09,000 --> 01:26:12,000
I just wasn't sure what the gimmick was. Right.

1023
01:26:12,000 --> 01:26:16,000
I didn't read up on it. So therefore, I didn't know.

1024
01:26:16,000 --> 01:26:23,000
So legend had it that the secret was Doc Dyer's ageless cooking grease.

1025
01:26:23,000 --> 01:26:31,000
This famous grease, Strain Daily, has continued to produce our juicy Dyer's burgers for almost a century now.

1026
01:26:31,000 --> 01:26:42,000
One of Doc's original employees, Mr. Con Aaron, bought the establishment in 1935 and continued the Dyer's name and tradition of famous burgers.

1027
01:26:42,000 --> 01:26:45,000
The Dyer's legacy continued to this day over the years.

1028
01:26:45,000 --> 01:26:54,000
This famous cooking grease has been transported to our various Memphis locations under the watchful protection of armed police escorts.

1029
01:26:54,000 --> 01:26:56,000
And they're not joking.

1030
01:26:56,000 --> 01:27:03,000
Finally, settling here on historic Beale Street, home of the Blues and the world famous Dyer's.

1031
01:27:03,000 --> 01:27:09,000
World famous Dyer's burgers, 205 Beale Street, Memphis, Tennessee.

1032
01:27:09,000 --> 01:27:15,000
I've known this because New Orleans and they use grease over 100 years old.

1033
01:27:15,000 --> 01:27:20,000
They never clean out their pans. They just scrape them out.

1034
01:27:20,000 --> 01:27:28,000
So whenever they cook something in those pans, it's of enough hot temperature to kill any germs that are in it. Right.

1035
01:27:28,000 --> 01:27:33,000
Yeah. So they're able to scrape out the pans, but you do not wash them.

1036
01:27:33,000 --> 01:27:38,000
You don't wash them because all that seasoning is in that pan. You simply scrape it out.

1037
01:27:38,000 --> 01:27:45,000
So what they're doing is they're cooking grease is like the New Orleans pots and pans.

1038
01:27:45,000 --> 01:27:54,000
Katrina ended some of those traditions because it took their pots and pans from over 100 years old that they've been cooking on that whole time.

1039
01:27:54,000 --> 01:28:00,000
The cast iron ones. And they went somewhere bottom of the ocean or something.

1040
01:28:00,000 --> 01:28:02,000
So some places closed down over it.

1041
01:28:02,000 --> 01:28:09,000
I believe that one of my favorite places, Willie May's Scotch House, Great Chicken.

1042
01:28:09,000 --> 01:28:14,000
I believe it's now an old church in the Ninth Ward.

1043
01:28:14,000 --> 01:28:18,000
But the original place, I think, is gone. I think Katrina wiped it out or something.

1044
01:28:18,000 --> 01:28:22,000
I'm not for sure. But something like that. I haven't been there in several years.

1045
01:28:22,000 --> 01:28:29,000
But they lost a majority of their pots and pans during Katrina.

1046
01:28:29,000 --> 01:28:34,000
And if this is true, I read about this. So if it's wrong, I'm sorry.

1047
01:28:34,000 --> 01:28:43,000
But anyhow, they they shut down briefly not because they couldn't open back up, but because they didn't have the pots and pans.

1048
01:28:43,000 --> 01:28:54,000
So a lot of these a lot of people that went there virtually every day for food went out on a mission to find old pots and pans with similar seasoning

1049
01:28:54,000 --> 01:29:03,000
and gathered them up and gave them to the Willie May's Scotch House so they could continue.

1050
01:29:03,000 --> 01:29:12,000
So as far as I know, that's true. And anyhow, their food is amazing. And that is probably one of the reasons.

1051
01:29:12,000 --> 01:29:22,000
Like I said, I think it's true. If it's not, I apologize. But Willie May's Scotch House, you got free advertisement with the douches because you guys rule.

1052
01:29:22,000 --> 01:29:31,000
Yeah. Yeah. Yep. Rob, you got something? Yeah, I do. All righty.

1053
01:29:31,000 --> 01:29:39,000
I didn't eat lunch and. So I got a food story here. OK.

1054
01:29:39,000 --> 01:29:50,000
It's going to make me hungry. Domino's has been dishing out pizzas for nearly 65 years and they're good again.

1055
01:29:50,000 --> 01:29:55,000
My daughter delivers for. Oh, OK.

1056
01:29:55,000 --> 01:30:01,000
Yeah. Yeah. I'll be canton here right at the street from. OK.

1057
01:30:01,000 --> 01:30:05,000
So, yeah, I got to give him a shout out. They're good.

1058
01:30:05,000 --> 01:30:08,000
Any fan? Yeah, they are.

1059
01:30:08,000 --> 01:30:15,000
Yet many fans are just now uncovering the secret behind their iconic logos.

1060
01:30:15,000 --> 01:30:21,000
Three dots. This is good. This is going to be good.

1061
01:30:21,000 --> 01:30:27,000
Yes. It has the domino there with three dots on it.

1062
01:30:27,000 --> 01:30:32,000
Yeah. One on one side, two on the other. Yeah. Everybody that sees it.

1063
01:30:32,000 --> 01:30:37,000
That the first thing you think is dominoes. Yeah.

1064
01:30:37,000 --> 01:30:48,000
The Monahan siblings, Tom and James launched their first pizza shop initially named Dominic.

1065
01:30:48,000 --> 01:30:54,000
Goodbye. In Michigan back in 1960.

1066
01:30:54,000 --> 01:31:11,000
A year later, Tom swapped his pre-owned 1959 BW Beetle to buy his brother's steak in the business, which he subsequently rebranded as Domino's Pizza.

1067
01:31:11,000 --> 01:31:19,000
There are now a staggering six thousand eight hundred eighty seven chains nationwide.

1068
01:31:19,000 --> 01:31:25,000
Wow. Are they the largest chain in America or does it say?

1069
01:31:25,000 --> 01:31:35,000
This does not mention that. I think they took over pizza had a few years back in Papa John's. I think they did. Yeah.

1070
01:31:35,000 --> 01:31:53,000
Despite being the go to pizza spot for many of us, the story behind the brand's three dot logo has remained a mystery to many for all this time.

1071
01:31:53,000 --> 01:32:02,000
Turns out the logo represents Tom's initial goal of opening three stores.

1072
01:32:02,000 --> 01:32:13,000
Oh, wow. But this plan was quickly shelved due to the franchise's explosive growth.

1073
01:32:13,000 --> 01:32:18,000
Domino's is the largest pizza chain in the United States by sales and number of units.

1074
01:32:18,000 --> 01:32:26,000
In twenty twenty three, Domino's had nearly nine point three billion in sales, which is more than any other pizza chain by far.

1075
01:32:26,000 --> 01:32:34,000
Domino's has over six thousand eight hundred fifty four restaurants nationwide, which is quite a few more than Pizza Hut and Little Caesars.

1076
01:32:34,000 --> 01:32:37,000
Sorry about that. I had to tell that. Go ahead, Bob.

1077
01:32:37,000 --> 01:32:42,000
No, no, no. That's that. That's all I had on this one. Oh, OK.

1078
01:32:42,000 --> 01:32:49,000
What the three dots mean is because his main goal was to open three stores.

1079
01:32:49,000 --> 01:32:53,000
That is pretty pretty. Look what they have become today.

1080
01:32:53,000 --> 01:32:56,000
That is pretty freaking cool, Rob. I love that story.

1081
01:32:56,000 --> 01:32:58,000
That is stuff that I'm really interested in.

1082
01:32:58,000 --> 01:33:00,000
You know, it's like, what do those three dots mean?

1083
01:33:00,000 --> 01:33:04,000
Nobody really knows, you know, I got that.

1084
01:33:04,000 --> 01:33:08,000
I just figured the dice, you know, is less ink.

1085
01:33:08,000 --> 01:33:12,000
Yeah. Yeah. Better than putting 20 on there.

1086
01:33:12,000 --> 01:33:16,000
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You put 20 in there. Yeah.

1087
01:33:16,000 --> 01:33:21,000
OK. Do you want to keep going, Rob? I got a couple of stories I'd like to put in if possible.

1088
01:33:21,000 --> 01:33:26,000
Yeah. Go ahead. And then I got to get busy.

1089
01:33:26,000 --> 01:33:33,000
My daughter's waiting on me. So we go shopping for Christmas dinner food.

1090
01:33:33,000 --> 01:33:37,000
OK. Are you sure you're OK to go? I can shut this off at any time.

1091
01:33:37,000 --> 01:33:42,000
No, go ahead. OK. I got a few more, man. OK. Cool. JetBlue is at.

1092
01:33:42,000 --> 01:33:44,000
I don't think I have anything else. That's all right.

1093
01:33:44,000 --> 01:33:48,000
I got a couple of them that I've had for a while now that I want to get rid of.

1094
01:33:48,000 --> 01:33:54,000
I mean, because I want to talk about it. OK. JetBlue to add domestic first class seats called

1095
01:33:54,000 --> 01:33:58,000
Mint, Mint, or Junior Mint in twenty twenty six.

1096
01:33:58,000 --> 01:34:03,000
JetBlue is prepared to add a new class of service to its domestic fleet,

1097
01:34:03,000 --> 01:34:06,000
dubbed Mint, Mint, or Junior Mint.

1098
01:34:06,000 --> 01:34:09,000
Their line announced in a note to employees on Thursday.

1099
01:34:09,000 --> 01:34:14,000
The new class is aimed at planes that do not feature Mint, JetBlue's highest

1100
01:34:14,000 --> 01:34:21,000
premium offering, while the standard Mint option includes fully lie flat seats

1101
01:34:21,000 --> 01:34:25,000
that go all the way down, fully lie, measuring six and a half feet long.

1102
01:34:25,000 --> 01:34:30,000
Many Mint, many is expected to offer more upgraded experience than the airlines

1103
01:34:30,000 --> 01:34:35,000
lower level fares, though without fully lie flat seats.

1104
01:34:35,000 --> 01:34:40,000
So you can get an in-between without having to spend three times as much.

1105
01:34:40,000 --> 01:34:45,000
The move reflects a broader trend in the airline industry as carriers look for

1106
01:34:45,000 --> 01:34:49,000
ways to attract the growing population of premium travelers.

1107
01:34:49,000 --> 01:34:54,000
And I always try to buy the wide seats and the extra foot room and all that

1108
01:34:54,000 --> 01:34:56,000
if it's not too crazy.

1109
01:34:56,000 --> 01:35:01,000
Delta Airlines recently launches third Delta One Lounge, an exclusive space

1110
01:35:01,000 --> 01:35:08,000
for highest paying guests and has also leased plans to segment its main cabin

1111
01:35:08,000 --> 01:35:12,000
at another option above the standard fare.

1112
01:35:12,000 --> 01:35:19,000
British Airways announced it will retrofit its A380 fleet with all new first

1113
01:35:19,000 --> 01:35:20,000
class offering.

1114
01:35:20,000 --> 01:35:25,000
JetBlue, which already offers Mint suites and Mint studios, had previously

1115
01:35:25,000 --> 01:35:29,000
unveiled plans for its first ever airport lounges specifically for these kinds

1116
01:35:29,000 --> 01:35:30,000
of guests.

1117
01:35:30,000 --> 01:35:34,000
JetBlue is also trying to capture the more international market expanded

1118
01:35:34,000 --> 01:35:45,000
its global route map with two round trip flights from Boston Logan International

1119
01:35:45,000 --> 01:35:49,000
Airport to Madrid and Edinburgh.

1120
01:35:49,000 --> 01:35:55,000
So now that I spit all that out there, I love that because you don't have to

1121
01:35:55,000 --> 01:35:59,000
spend like an enormous amount of money.

1122
01:35:59,000 --> 01:36:04,000
You can like level up and be a little bit more comfortable without having to

1123
01:36:04,000 --> 01:36:06,000
spend a ton of money on it.

1124
01:36:06,000 --> 01:36:07,000
You know what I mean?

1125
01:36:07,000 --> 01:36:12,000
You're not there, you know, slumming it, you know, elbow to elbow with somebody.

1126
01:36:12,000 --> 01:36:15,000
You can spend a little bit more and get a little bit more elbow room and leg

1127
01:36:15,000 --> 01:36:16,000
room.

1128
01:36:16,000 --> 01:36:17,000
And I like that.

1129
01:36:17,000 --> 01:36:19,000
So anyhow, you know what?

1130
01:36:19,000 --> 01:36:20,000
The other ones can wait.

1131
01:36:20,000 --> 01:36:23,000
So we can go ahead and say goodbye on this thing.

1132
01:36:23,000 --> 01:36:25,000
You can go about your Christmas plans.

1133
01:36:25,000 --> 01:36:27,000
And anyhow, thank you, Rob.

1134
01:36:27,000 --> 01:36:30,000
Thank you for the great stories and joining me today.

1135
01:36:30,000 --> 01:36:31,000
Yes.

1136
01:36:31,000 --> 01:36:32,000
All right.

1137
01:36:32,000 --> 01:36:33,000
So thank you.

1138
01:36:33,000 --> 01:36:35,000
Thank you for us doing it.

1139
01:36:35,000 --> 01:36:36,000
Yeah.

1140
01:36:36,000 --> 01:36:38,000
You know what?

1141
01:36:38,000 --> 01:36:39,000
I love it.

1142
01:36:39,000 --> 01:36:40,000
It's this.

1143
01:36:40,000 --> 01:36:42,000
This is fantastic.

1144
01:36:42,000 --> 01:36:43,000
We love doing it.

1145
01:36:43,000 --> 01:36:45,000
And I think it shows.

1146
01:36:45,000 --> 01:36:50,000
So anyhow, everybody, thank you for listening.

1147
01:36:50,000 --> 01:36:52,000
Goodbye, assholes.

1148
01:36:52,000 --> 01:36:55,000
Have a Merry Christmas.

1149
01:36:55,000 --> 01:36:57,000
Merry Christmas.

1150
01:36:57,000 --> 01:36:58,000
Yeah, sorry.

1151
01:36:58,000 --> 01:37:00,000
Merry Christmas.

1152
01:37:00,000 --> 01:37:02,000
And we'll talk to you before New Year's.

1153
01:37:02,000 --> 01:37:04,000
Yeah, we will.

1154
01:37:04,000 --> 01:37:05,000
Yeah.

1155
01:37:05,000 --> 01:37:06,000
Yep.

1156
01:37:06,000 --> 01:37:08,000
So anyhow, bye.

1157
01:37:08,000 --> 01:37:10,000
Bye.

1158
01:37:10,000 --> 01:37:11,000
Oh, no.

1159
01:37:11,000 --> 01:37:13,000
Looks like the show's over, kids.

1160
01:37:13,000 --> 01:37:17,000
Mark has explosive diarrhea and can't afford a wireless mic.

1161
01:37:17,000 --> 01:37:19,000
Fear not, assholes.

1162
01:37:19,000 --> 01:37:25,000
They'll be back invading your ear holes soon.
