It really hurts. Who can afford plastic surgery?
Stay safe everyone.
Two Deucebags and a Microphone.
Operating from the... well, it kind of looks like Antarctica, but I mean, it is Kansas City, Missouri to my knowledge.
And you are from where, Rob, my co-host?
Hamilton, Missouri.
Oh, isn't that where they got a ton, a shit ton of snow?
Well, it's reported 10 inches.
I believe it.
The length average is 10 inches.
Yeah, yeah, I saw some of the footage. I would say it is. Oh, you sent me some footage right out your door, actually. It was coming down.
Yeah, it was coming down, dude. It was coming down hard.
Well, I got something for you here, Rob. I was watching the Weather Channel.
All this snow was within a 24-hour period.
Yeah, it was flat booking. It was coming down.
And so I was watching one of the Weather Channels. I'm not sure. There's like four or five of them now.
And it was going into snow totals, right? Did you know that there is?
And this all came in right next to each other, okay, on this whatever Weather Channel was.
I don't know if it was the Weather Channel, Fox, or whatever, I forgot, Accu, or whatever.
Did you know that there's a cock tug, West Virginia?
No.
Yeah, it's spelt like...
I'm surprised we don't have listeners from there.
You know what? If you are listening from Cock Tug, West Virginia, let us know.
You guys got eight inches of snow yesterday.
And Nob Lick...
We will give you a shout out every show just because you're town's name.
Yes. And there is...
Nob Lick, Missouri got 9.5 inches. Nob Lick, Missouri.
Okay, I've been through that town.
Oh, okay.
It exists. It exists.
Okay, and then the other one that sounds a lot like it, and I couldn't believe it. These are all in concession. One, two, three.
I think someone at Weather Channel was getting ready to quit or got by on...
It's Shell Knob.
Oh, that's another one. No. Nob Rub. Nob Rub, Missouri.
Nob Lick and Nob Rub.
And then now Shell Knob. I forgot about that. Shell Knob's down there at Lake Goa.
Yeah, we got Shell Knob. Well, they're down around...
Oh, they're on Table Rock.
That's Table Rock Lake. Yeah, that's an ornery.
Yeah, that guy hit pretty hard.
Okay. I didn't see Shell Knob, and I forgot about that, but Shell Knob's another one.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, yeah. So they put these in concession. First, Cock Tug West Virginia got 8 inches.
Nob Lick, Missouri got 9.5 inches. And Nob Rub got 10 plus.
And I was like, do they know what they just did? Cock Tug, Nob Lick, and Nob Rub.
And I was just sitting there going...
They had to have noticed. It had to have been someone playing a joke or someone was quitting,
and they're like, oh, I'm going to throw this up here because what are they going to do, fire me?
But it was funnier than hell. I'm just sitting there having a good old time.
And then I realized I was the only person that noticed it, so I kind of shut up.
And I was like, well, that's podcast material right there.
But you had some interesting stuff down there.
Like, wasn't there some sort of a contest you're saying or something?
Yeah. Yeah. There was a contest. And this is in Osage Beach.
Okay.
Well, they've got a new snowplow.
Okay.
And they had a contest and a drawing on the new name of this snowplow.
Okay.
Yeah, they're actually going to name it. We're bored down here, man.
I think it's awesome.
Okay. Coming in at number seven.
Plow Chica Plow Plow.
Now, that's a good name.
I think that one should have won.
I would have went for that one, but I got to hear the other ones too.
Okay. Come in at number six.
Plow around and find out.
That one's good too.
I like that one too. Yeah. Yeah.
Cool.
And this next one, you've got to know Lake Area.
Okay.
Grand D Glazer.
Elaborate.
The Grand Glaze Bridge. Grand Glaze.
Oh, okay. Okay.
That's pretty cool.
And that's the Grand Riverhorn.
The road's also, if you think about it.
That's true. That's true.
I can see why that one took number five.
Okay. Number four.
Ozarkic Blast.
Is it? That's like a Sonic drink or something.
No, it's Ozarkic.
Ozarkic Blast.
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, Ozark Blast.
I got it confused. I got it.
I got it confused with something else anyhow.
Yeah.
Number three.
Scoop Dog.
Now that's a good one. I like that one.
Yeah, I like that one too.
Well, with the new TV show, I would say speech.
Ozark Raw.
Saw Enforcement.
I like that one.
I like the other ones better, but that one's fucking, it's really good.
Scoop Dog, I like that one.
And then the first two were really good.
That was good. That was good.
Okay, well, now the name that took it, Snowder Boat.
Okay. Okay. I like that one.
And the one that closed that name, his name happened to be Mark.
Well, good job, Mark, whoever you are down there in the Camden, Osage Beach, Ozark, Lake of the Ozark area. Good job.
That's pretty fucking awesome. Cool.
Yeah, that tells you what we have to do when it snows. We name our snowplow.
I get it. I get it.
And now we have all the residuals 30 below my car won't start stuff and all that stuff.
Nobody does anything.
But next what?
Three, four, about four days we're going to be at like in the 60s.
Yeah, almost to 70.
You know, I don't know what to say. You know what I mean? It's, it always does that to us.
The pendulum of weather is bizarre.
It doesn't necessarily surprise me, but I hear a lot of people talking going, what the hell is going on?
I'm like, what do you mean? What the hell is going on?
The weather. That's what's going on. It's always been like this. It's always been very bipolar.
Just like, you know, and yeah, and it's going to be if it's 60 some degrees, it's going to feel like 80.
People are going to be walking around in like tank tops and shorts because there's something about, you know, being like 30 below.
The wind chill is like I believe right now 30 some below and then going to 60.
Think of the temperature difference that is.
That's like a 90 degree temperature swing.
And everybody thinks you're sick now.
Yeah, yeah. Just give it a week.
I mean, hey, I've been fighting the cold for a week and a half, but I'm still up moving doing what I gotta do.
That's cool.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, you know, you got to get over it within the next few days.
Yeah, you do.
I'm really going to be here.
Yep. Yeah. And I suddenly found a, I just found a town to take Montrose's place.
Knoblick.
Oh, did you?
Yeah, Knoblick.
Knoblick.
Knoblick. We got to figure out some Knoblick stuff and kind of like that.
I'll do some research into the town.
Okay. That sounds good. I'd like to know where they...
Yeah, we'll go over there.
That sounds good. I'd love to know where they got their name from.
So, okay, you know what, Rob, you know what really sucks now?
What?
You remember the good old days when you'd just piss in a Gatorade bottle, you know, when an emergency occurs and you didn't have to worry about cameras everywhere?
Yeah.
It was complete freedom.
Oh, yeah. Now you got all the cameras.
Yeah, yeah.
I know where you're going.
You really can't do it anymore.
You know, what if a camera caught you, then that's a whole bunch of fucking trouble just for taking a piss.
So you're sitting there holding it with your bladder about ready to break open.
So yesterday morning, I took Val to the doctor's... actually it was the morning before that, not yesterday morning.
I took Val to the doctor's appointment.
This is pretty early, so, you know, I had a couple of rev-up copies, you know, to get me to go in.
You know, and, you know, whenever you have a couple of rev-up copies, you know, you've got to piss three or four times urgently right after, right?
It doesn't make sense.
Yeah.
Let's say you put into your body 10 ounces, 50 ounces comes out.
So I don't know how that works, but it sucks.
So, you know, so in order to pull off a successful piss in a cup or a Gatorade jug, it takes precise deception, right?
I mean, you know, there's probably...
Yeah, yeah. You've got to get it this way.
Yeah, yeah. So, you know, you're probably going to have some miss, amine, and a little spillage.
So, you know, one, you look like you pissed your pants.
Two, you smell like piss.
And three, you're wearing piss.
You know, the trifecta of suck.
So, you know, and there's also the potential if I do this and I miss a little bit and then Val comes out and goes,
Hey, I forgot my card.
Can you come in and pay?
And then you go into copay and then all of a sudden it's, you know, you smell like piss and you look like you just had an accident.
You know, it's like six degrees out.
So naturally, you know, I don't want to go into the doctor's office because it's freezing cold and fear of catching a bug too,
because I don't want it cold at this point.
I held them off so much. I don't want one now.
You know, so, you know.
You work every day too.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
And I was just thinking, man, you know, I'm sorry I'm crying about the good old days, but that does suck.
I mean, the freedom to just take a piss anywhere in a Gatorade bottle is not there anymore because I'm sitting there and I'm like, man, could I?
And I start looking around that parking lot.
There's a camera. There's a camera. There's a camera.
There's someone in the car.
Oh, no, no.
Yeah. I'm like, fuck.
It isn't worth it.
So I'm sitting there with my bladder about ready to to explode.
And anyhow, that's just my good old day story.
But did you see where the video of Howie Roseman, the general manager of the Eagles, he got smacked with a full beer can in the head at the Eagles parade?
No, I did not see that.
Yeah. Well, look it up on YouTube.
I mean, it doesn't it just hits him right in the top of the head.
It was brutal.
I mean, it's just like it was.
It's good.
I guarantee you.
It's a shot we would have made back in the day.
Yes. Someone was proud.
I can tell you that.
But I'll take him out.
Oh, my God.
I was just sitting there.
You know, I was like, only in Philadelphia.
If I remember right, we used to do that just to shut people up.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yes.
And it worked, too.
I'll bet you right now he's still nursing a headache.
Now, this was the Chiefs championship parade if they would want it and they didn't even come close.
You know, no one would have hit Brett Veach because they would be feared.
They would fear that he'd get pissed and leave the team, right?
No one would have.
He'd sue everybody.
Yeah.
You know, they'd be like, oh, shit, he's going to get pissed.
He's going to go, man, can't say he hit me in the head with a fucking beer bottle or whatever.
I'm leaving.
I'm going to go to the Chicago Bears.
They're always looking for somebody.
So, you know, if I was Howie Roachman, I would have made the idiot come forward and turn himself in or I would threaten to leave the organization.
If no one ratted him out, I would then make the fans go punish him with the threat of leaving.
You know, the guy would not have a nutsack left.
If you if you came out there and you said, look at my fucking head, someone knows something.
You guys turn this bitch in right now and I won't go to the Chicago Bears.
Ray talked to them.
They said, sure, come on up any time.
We'll hire you on the spot.
Well, how are you?
Yeah, yeah, that's what I do.
But I don't think he did anything except went home and fucking put ice on his head.
Yeah.
So anyhow, but I have a little thing here that I kind of rehearsed.
OK, Rob.
OK.
Us here, us here at Two Douchebags and Microphone would like to remind everybody that if you see any visual evidence of any of us,
BOOF and any substance, it's obviously fake and should be destroyed immediately.
Yes, yes, yes.
I totally agree.
It don't even have to be out.
Yeah, anything.
If you see video, visual proof.
Yeah, yeah, it's not us and it's been faked and you're to grab it and tear it up immediately.
Whether it's video or a picture or whatever on a phone, you get that phone and you erase it because it's obviously fake.
And, you know, while I'm talking about stuff like BOOF and ibuprofen and stuff, you know, vaping is so confusing, right?
Because you walk by a couple of rugged looking young men and they smell like strawberry banana cream.
I mean, I see this all the time.
They're sitting there, they're unshaven and kind of rugged.
It looks like they work out and you walk by and they literally smell like strawberry banana fucking cream.
And it's like, what the hell is going on in this world?
I wonder if people BOOF vape, you think?
You think they find a way to BOOF vape?
If you don't know...
They might, they might.
I don't know.
They might.
I'm not a vaper, so I don't know.
Okay.
Well, BOOF is...
I smoke actual cigarettes.
He doesn't have to BOOF them.
Yeah, I don't...
Well, yeah.
Just look up BOOF if you don't know what I'm talking about.
B-O-O-F, and I'm sorry.
I'll say that in advance.
You know, and would it be addicting if you BOOF'd a vape?
You know?
Oh my God.
Yeah, wouldn't that be more addicting maybe?
I mean, you know.
Well, hey, if you could BOOF a vape, you could BOOF a cigarette.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, so I'm thinking too.
You gotta suck it up in there.
But if you BOOF vape, your ass would smell floral and fruity, wouldn't it?
Exactly.
You know, that might be what your smell.
There you go.
That's my answer to all the vapors.
Start BOOFing that stuff.
That way your asshole smells good.
Yeah.
Yeah, there we go.
Couldn't be a bad thing, people walking around with, I don't know,
lemony fresh assholes or banana cream assholes or something.
That'd be great.
So anyhow, back to after Val's appointment and everything,
I was able to go to the city market for coffee, right?
I had a large cabano.
I was in order for the morning and it was fantastic.
So I found a nice little table up on the other side of the loft from the restroom.
And as soon as I sit down, I found a red Sharpie on the floor next to my table.
So I grabbed this red Sharpie.
And I'm sitting there thinking, hmm, what can I do?
This thing just came to me.
So it's a sign from something that I need to do something with this.
So, you know, so I'm sitting there thinking, okay, I got it.
I go into the crapper and it wrote on the inside of the toilet paper,
it's behind the plunger.
Take it to the spot for you know who.
So I rolled it all back up and I wait.
And three people go into the shitter and nothing.
And I was a chick, so I guess she must have dripped dry.
She did not use the toilet paper.
So I'm about to leave when this huge older man walks in, right, to use the bathroom.
He was all hunched over looking like he had a possible gas bubble.
And it sounded horrible in there.
I mean, it had to hurt, you know.
You know, it's like one of those ones where you hear some horrible fucking gas sounds
and you hear a ugh and all that stuff, right?
So I'm like, oh man, this guy's in bad shape.
So I didn't think he was going to look at this thing at all, right?
I was like, oh, he's just going to grab the toilet paper and start wiping
because this is like an all-day event, right?
So anyhow, when he finishes, I'm getting ready to leave,
when he finishes and walks out of the crapper, he looks right at me and grins.
So I guess he was, you know, since I was the only one up there, he guessed I wrote it, you know?
I just looked down at my tablet really quickly like I didn't know anything was going on.
But no, he had that look like, ha ha ha, that was pretty good.
And I'm like, fuck, how did he know I did that?
And so I guess he didn't know.
He just figured since I was the only one up there that I would have had to have done it.
But anyhow, I mean, it wasn't anything horrible, just like a little ha ha,
like it's behind the plunger, you know, take it to new, who knows, you know, whatever.
And me, if I would have seen that, you know, I'd be like afraid like it was a setup, you know.
I'd be like, oh, fuck, I ain't touching that shit.
You know, you fucking look behind the plunger and oh, hey, fuck, it's a murder gun or something,
and you touch it and the next thing you know, it's like,
well, that guy's fingerprints is on it, so he must have did whatever.
But I also watch too much TV sometimes, I guess, you know.
So anyhow, Rob, you got something?
Yeah, I do.
I went to look for another one of my stories, and I lost it.
Okay.
It's about e-scooters.
E-scooters?
Yeah, electric scooters.
Oh, me and Davey almost killed ourselves in Nashville on them, but I'll tell you that later.
Go ahead.
Well, I'm thinking this is, the story is out of Pennsylvania, I think.
Sure.
Electric scooters have been blamed for a surge in the number of children caught using a vehicle without insurance.
Okay.
Charity IAM Road Smart, which made the claim, urges the government to introduce new legislation on the devices.
It obtained DVLA figures showing 375 children, ages between 13 and 16, were issued with an IN-10 endorsement.
A fence code for using an uninsured vehicle last year.
Okay.
The figure compares with just 17 in 2021.
So they think it's related to the e-scooters?
Well, no. Well, I think. Okay, the government is urgently bringing forward legislation on private e-scooters, which must include minimum type of approval device standards, speed limiters, and proposals for riders to have a minimum level of competency.
I can agree to that.
Yeah, I do too. But I did not know, I did not realize you had to have insurance.
To drive.
Oh, okay. I misunderstood what you were saying.
They're getting pulled, I'm thinking they're getting pulled over on the street.
Mmm. That makes sense.
Come on, kids. Come on, kids. Ride the scooters on the sidewalks. Like nobody else.
Okay, I got it. Sorry I lost track.
I think that's what it is. The more I read this, I'm thinking, yeah, although it's illegal to ride a privately owned e-scooter on public roads, they're widely available for sale. So yeah, that's what it is. These kids are getting caught riding on the street.
Okay, okay.
Well, I know this in Nashville.
Which, get a better license later, right, kids? Come on.
Yeah, I, okay. I know in Nashville, when Davey and I went, we went there to see the Dead Daisies, this is a few years back, right?
And the scooters there, they just got done outlawing birds. This is before Kansas City got scooters, right before that. And they outlawed the bird scooter because it went too fast. So they had two scooters that weren't nearly as fast that you could rent there on the spot.
And the problem is, is I mean, everybody in Nashville, you know, they're all over, lower Broadway there. Everyone smashed. And me and Davey was no exception. We were smashed, and he just had like, I don't know, five Jack and Cokes and like seven or eight inlings and he was smashed and I had quite a few too.
The only problem is, is he was smashed more than me, and he almost ran into a train. I'm not kidding you. We flew over a hill and on the other side was railroad tracks. I got mine to stop. Davey, I don't know what he was doing. He was smashed.
And he come really close to not getting that thing stopped and getting smashed by a train.
So, if a couple of adults could do that. I'm thinking someone younger on alcohol could do that easily. I mean, hell, you're talking about like, I'm just talking about Nashville right here and the scooters but this is kind of related.
They had a guy here, a college man from, he was going to Columbia University Missouri Columbia right. And he went to Nashville for a weekend. And he got really really loaded. And he kept, he just started walking.
He walked until they fell off the cliff of the, what is the name that the Cumberland River there. It's got a huge cliff there kind of like Kansas City does where you know the Missouri River is the cliff is probably about, I don't know 70 foot tall and rocky.
And they couldn't find him for quite a while. And they finally found him down there on, you know, on the side of the Cumberland River, because he got so smashed he just walked off that cliff and fell down below hit the rocks and then probably drown if he didn't die.
So imagine scooters. Imagine how, how dangerous they got to be. And there's people hitting cars and stuff, you know, and then not all of it ends tragically I mean Davies could have easily.
But I know that one gentleman that you know that accidentally walked off the cliff I know that his ended tragically. But the reason they went out of the boot, the bird scooters was because we got there right after they outlawed him is because some lady was killed.
She was going too fast and ran into one of those big Decker buses for bridesmaids.
I would have sucked one of it. Yeah, you're at your wedding and you fucking hit some chick on a scooter. Yeah.
Yeah, so you know what I get it.
So you know, yeah, no insurance and you cause some damage to a car or something let alone hurt yourself. You know you break your leg or something that you're going to be turning, you know, well you have an insurance.
Okay, well I guess it's on you, you know, and then any damage you do to a car. So you know what, Rob, rarely do I agree with little pain in the ass laws, but I think I agree with this one. What do you think?
No, I did too.
Because the laws are kicking the kids off the sidewalks with these scooters.
Well, they have to ride in the road. Yes. Well, they need to make it more known that to ride them in the road that you have to have insurance.
Well, I'll go a step further in Kansas City, Topher and I went on this kick of taking these scooters all around downtown and just screwing with people like we're they have these little.
Oh, I'm sure we weren't either. They have these little these little bells that go ding ding and it just sounds like a little kids bell right. So we're going by this construction site, and we kept flying by these people out there working on the curb, and we're going ding ding ding ding and they're all like fucking laughing and shit.
Of course you were.
We did that every day and then one day. Well, one, one day, the season it got cold and then the next year. We go back, and they all have blockers out in front of their doors of businesses, and that interferes with the signal and it won't let your scooter run.
It stops your scooter. So we couldn't go on the sidewalk. We couldn't go anywhere except the road in there you know how downtown Kansas City is with all the hills and stuff and buses drive. We're about to do that. I mean, yeah, we get.
So I bet you a lot of the places you know kids want to go on the sidewalk but they can't because they have those blockers. They have something that interferes with the signal, and it just shuts it off kind of like the pedestrian bridge in Nashville.
Maybe not that we're going to write up that thing instead of walking and it was really hot, and we get on those. And then all sudden, both of our scooter stop and we look at each other. What the fuck. And there's a whole pile of them right there.
And that's because they blocked them for the rest of the bridge and let you go up there part of the way. But then they blocked it to where you couldn't go on the main bridge over the Cumberland River there.
And then they blocked the pedestrian bridge. So yeah, so they have things that they can do to block you from going out in front of stuff or in certain areas. So yeah, the only place really that you have any type of freedom at all is the road.
So, yeah, I agree with that.
So, all right, you want to take our first break and we'll come back.
All right, I got some emails. I got some Ask Padlins and I know you have some stuff. So we can do the Ask Padlins tomorrow. I've got quite a few emails here and some really good ones. So we'll do the Ask Padlins tomorrow.
All right, we'll be on. Yeah, we're going to do it tomorrow. By the way, everybody. Yeah, you get a bonus one tomorrow. We're going to add a bonus one tomorrow. Why not? Yeah, we're sorry.
We're sorry you get an extra one. Yeah, so we will be here tomorrow slaving over a hot microphone like always.
You'll have to buy more alcohol for your Bluetooth. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. And we are starting a support group for the Bluetooths that have to that have to endure this. We know. We know. All right. We'll be right back.
Oh, yeah, I got an update on my support group too. Our constant pursuit for a real knee slapper. It's strange insults from an alien. Real hilarity. I've seen salads that dress better than you.

What's inside Mark's head?
Sounds stupid to me.
If you took my first name backwards, it would read as cram.
And now, deep thoughts with Mark.
If you melt dry ice in a pool, can you swim without getting wet?
I may never know.
Two Dish Bags and Microphone is the only podcast available anywhere with Gusto. That's right. I said Gusto. Gusto is a magical ingredient in Schlitz beer that makes it so damn delicious. So enjoy a little Gusto from your podcast today.
Topher, Mark, and Rob would like you to know that just because they have a podcast does not mean their asshole does not stink. I know them pretty well and their asshole does stink. So just so you know, their asshole stinks just like yours.
Two Dish Bags and Microphone, I'm Mark.
And I'm Rob.
Alright Rob, I've got quite a few emails here. So if you've got a story you want to go into first, go ahead and then we'll get into the rest.
No, no, let's go ahead and get rid of the emails.
Okay, alright.
Yeah, this is what draws my attention is our emails.
They are the best, I swear. The people that write in them.
Oh my god, they are.
And keep doing it please. I'm getting this straight now. I know some of you, I got a couple of messages, hey this is my tenth email.
You know, it isn't working half the time. I don't know what to say. I'm going to have to switch emails.
But, DoucheB66 at Yahoo.com until I get it figured out. And I don't know. I'll have to do something else. Go to another service or something. I'm aware.
Which tells me we're getting quite a few.
Yeah, yeah.
If you're listening to our boss, we have more.
Yeah. Yeah, we must be because if someone wrote in ten times and I didn't get it, then there's a lot more people that wrote in that I didn't get either.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
What we're saying here is keep trying please and I will eventually have this whole thing figured out. And I've had a few suggestions because suddenly people started wanting us to put up a little best of segments on a page somewhere.
You know, like our little bits and stuff like that or some segments that were exceptionally good we thought or something like that.
So I think we're going to have to do that because it's just like a lot of people are asking for it. So we're going to do that. We're working on a lot of things. A visual thing, all that.
Anyhow, Mark, I love the direction the podcast is going. I love the strange but true segment. I do too. You like it, Rob?
Yeah, yeah, I love it.
It's really good. I really think you're finding your niche in this podcast world. Vicki and Lawrence. By the way, tear down that statue.
Working on it. Working on it.
We've heard from Vicki before.
Oh, have we? I thought I said it familiar.
I remember that name, Vicki and Lawrence. I remember that.
Okay, well thank you for writing us again.
Well, yeah. Thank you, Vicki.
And you know, she wants that statue tore down because that was a reply to when the Bushwhackers burned down Lawrence. So she's taking revenge. I'm pretty sure. So I don't know.
Oh yeah. Sorry to interrupt. That reminds me that, oh no, we'll get around to it tomorrow night.
Okay. Sounds good.
Our little problem in Kansas we've got to solve.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay.
Yeah, we'll deal with that tomorrow night.
Next one, Mark and Rob, if you were only to have seven bands that you could only listen to forever, what would they be? Ronnie and Tulsa King.
Okay. Give us tomorrow night, Ronnie.
Yep. I didn't have time either. I printed these out and just, I forgot.
Yeah, I'm just now flying out. I can't just go home out here right now.
Well, I forgot all about that question because I downloaded this on three or four days ago. So Ronnie, I'll have mine too tomorrow night, right?
Seven bands you can only listen to forever.
Yep. All right. So thank you, Ronnie Tulsa King. You're the best.
Thank you. Thank you, Tulsa King.
Hey guys, what do you think of all the airplane disasters? Why are there so many? Terrorism? People that are inept? Coincidence? Any other ideas? Walt in Brussels?
Okay. Can I get my response to that first?
Absolutely.
We don't talk political and stuff like that. I'm not going into it.
Okay.
Yeah, we don't talk about stuff like that. We're to make people laugh.
Okay. I'll tell a little.
Entertain people. I'm not talking about things blowing up.
I've got a broad brush of this, okay, and I think it's a combination of things.
I think that people aren't as smart as they used to be because the schools aren't as good as they used to be and people aren't as disciplined as they used to be.
So therefore, air traffic controllers, there's fewer of them and the ones that are there may not be as much of a quality as they once were.
I think there's more planes in the sky. I think it could be terrorism interfering with communications. It could be all the above.
So I would say something like that. If you're a conspiracy guy, terrorism,
interference, interfering with communications to where one of the planes doesn't hear something or they hear something else that they're supposed to, bam, they run into each other.
I think that it could be just the dummy down of America's finally caught up to the airplane industry. I don't know.
So that's all I'm going into that. I don't care who, whatever you.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Yeah, this is our show. I'm not getting into it.
But on the surface, I would look for something like that. So all right.
Let's see. Where was I? OK, Mark, what is your all time favorite cigar?
Oh, Cohiba B-Hike.
Well, there's one for you right after this on the same email.
OK, OK. All right.
It would be a Cohiba B-Hike from Cuba.
It is an extremely good cigar. It is wrapped exceptional.
The only problem is, is it's extremely expensive and extremely hard to get.
But that would be my favorite ever as of right now.
And then on to Rob. Rob, are you still smokeless tobacco free?
Tina and Kobe Kansas, I guess, snuff or skull or whatever.
Oh, yes, I am.
All right. I'm going. I'm like six months free.
There you go. Thank you, Tina and Kobe.
But the unfortunate thing was when I was chewing, I was smoking half a packet cigarette today.
I quit chewing. I'm up to two packs today. So now I got to work on that.
But no, that nasty shit's going in my mouth.
All right. Yeah. Now all you need to do is slow down on smoking and you'll be doing good.
So all right. Yeah, trust me. In this cold weather, I'm feeling it.
A little hard to breathe, but I can't say it.
Two packs a day. Yeah.
Oh, yeah. I've never smoked that much a day. Never.
This next one's really good. I forgot all about it.
Mark and Rob, what is your pick for the sexiest cartoon woman ever?
Wanda in San Francisco.
Paulie Pierbread.
Oh, Paulie Pierbread. I go with that one, too.
I know we're touching on bestiality there.
Look, this is all pretend.
Well, when I looked at sexy, I looked at the personality, you know.
Betty Rubble was pretty hot, too.
Yeah, she was.
Let's see. Who else?
Cuba.
Oh, Roger Rabbit's girl.
Shoot.
Daphne was from Scooby Doo.
Oh, my God. Yeah.
How about all the Josie and the Pussycats?
Actually, I was more in development.
Not me.
I like the...
No, no, no. That's cool.
More than earlier.
All right. That's cool. That's what she was.
See, everybody has their own market. All of Josie and the Pussycats.
And if you watch the movies like I did with my son, you'll find out she was kind of a freak.
Yeah, you know what?
Good point, Rob. Good point.
Daphne probably chewed gum and looked at the ceiling where Thelma went crazy.
You're probably right.
Wanda, there you go.
Oh, and Josie and the Pussycats. Every one of them was pretty stellar.
Yes, definitely. Yeah, definitely.
So, Paulie, if your bread takes it, I agree.
Yeah.
Okay, Mark, they're just asking me, but we're both going to answer this.
You are the ringleader of the podcast. What would you classify your show as?
You want to go first?
Or you want me to go first?
Hey, buddy. It's as we describe it. We try to be a boring radio show.
We try to talk. Yeah, we bring news stories. Well, that's what boring radio does.
You have your news.
You make fun of stuff?
You sit around and BS, you know, and have a good time.
You make fun of stuff? You make dick jokes?
Yeah.
I would, okay.
And anybody that wants to email, we definitely will make fun of them.
Oh, yeah. Those are first. And especially people that hate us.
Call in.
Hate email goes right to the front of the line. Hate email does. So, go for it.
Yeah, exactly. Call in. We'll have some real fun, then.
Yeah. Well, we're going to get those capabilities. We're working towards all this stuff.
I know.
It's a work in progress. Like I said, this is a hobby.
So, you know, I mean, we both have lives and jobs that we have to tend to.
So, you'll get everything, just not on a, you know, on a very fast pace.
So, I would describe this raunchy entertainment with interesting facts and information.
Yeah. Yeah.
Peculiar subjects and odd, awkward humor for only certain people. Does that sound good?
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I like that last part.
All right. That's going to be a problem.
The humor is a little different. And we'll find out. There's more of us.
I've got to write all that down. I kind of like that. Let's see. What was that?
Raunchy entertainment with interesting facts and information.
Peculiar subjects and odd, awkward humor for only certain people.
I'm going to try to remember that. I like that.
Oh, dude. Dude, that is perfect.
Cool. Yep. That's pretty much it.
We can redo the whole of it.
Yeah. Actually, I really like it. At first, I thought it sounded kind of corny.
I was like, wait a minute. No, that's kind of cool. I like that. Okay.
And all of you just heard that out of his mouth for the first time.
There you go. That's what we are.
We just discovered that. Perfect.
Yeah. Just got to nugget out of the fucking, out of the trash can, didn't I?
All right. This is a featured email and I love this one because I forgot to follow up on it.
Mark, were you ever hypnotized for tinnitus?
The last thing I remember is that the doctor was evaluating you and he didn't think you're a good candidate.
I believe you thought he was trying to deny your claim.
Cindy in Brownsburg, Indiana. Brownsburg, Indiana. I have no idea where that's at.
Okay. Cindy, thank you. And thanks for remembering that. I forgot to touch base.
Another woman?
Yeah. I'm telling you, we've got a lot of female listeners.
Wow. We're like 50-50.
I know. Who would have thought they'd like this type of entertainment?
I would have thought when we started, it was going to be 99% male.
Guess not.
We couldn't pick up six pack every day and now all we got to do is talk.
Wow. I wish I knew that back then. I would have saved a lot of money.
Holy shit.
Yeah. To start talking. Hell yeah. Okay.
I know I almost bet over 90% of them were married.
Oh, I'm sure. I'm sure. I mean, you know, they're probably like running their kids around.
They take them to school and they're like, huh, I wonder what the douchebags are doing.
I mean, we're like people's entertainment when they're doing tasks and stuff.
We don't necessarily listen to it at home. We're probably most of the time in a car or a truck.
So I'd like to know our trucker population. If you're a trucker, listen to us, please.
Because I know you guys are dying for anything. You've got to download a bunch of stuff. I know this. I know truckers.
You download like 50 different things so you can listen to it on the road while you're driving.
So if you were one of those people...
I think I know one. I think I know one.
Yeah, I bet you we've got a percentage.
His wife turned him on to me.
Yep. That's cool.
Yeah. Well, she works at National TV, which I work thanks to her.
And we, you know, like, of course I got to tell them I'm a podcaster, you know.
Of course. All right. That's good.
And she was telling me how her husband was a trucker.
She was going to turn him on.
Yeah. Yeah. Truckers do this. And I know a couple that listen. They're personal friends of mine.
I know a couple that listen and has actually, you know, told me, hey, you know, I listen and, you know, they said it's a pretty good podcast.
I like it. So, I mean, if a trucker likes it because they need to be entertained, then I think it's doing something right.
So, OK, back to the hypnosis center.
The guy at the hypnosis center, he was just doing a standard reply to me.
I took it differently. His job is to make you want it so bad that you pay out of the pocket because insurance is still refused to pay for it.
Mostly as of right now, they don't want to pay for the hypnotism or whatever.
The big thing now is to do it yourself at home. Brain training. Not kidding you.
The most common method is white noise app on your phone and you just learn to override it with your ear ringing with this noise.
But they say the most effective one is this. They say this is how you train your brain not to do it.
And they tell you do this at home because no insurance pays for it for the hypnotize, the hypnotism.
Get an upright oscillating fan, then get to an FM band tuner.
You find a station that's static only like one that's out in the market. You can't really pick up, but you hear the static, right?
You turn up the volume to whatever you choose. It can be loud. It can be kind of loud or not.
Then you begin to retrain your brain to slowly phase out the ear ringing.
Because what you do is you have this, you're listening to this for six weeks.
And once a week you slowly decrease the volume every week.
You do this for six weeks and this is supposedly will train your brain to not hear the ringing when you go to sleep.
That's what they say. And I'm getting ready to do that.
But the guy kind of told me that he didn't think I was a good candidate. From what I understand they do that to everybody.
And the reason they do that to everybody is because it's kind of like it makes you want it.
You're like, oh man, shit, you know, I'm pretty sure it'll work on me, but they won't let me have it.
And the reason is because you'll just pay for it out of pocket if you think you need it that bad.
So anyhow, but the last lady that I took that I talked to about it, she said, here is what we advise you to do.
And she gave me the sheet of paper with all the stuff on it. She said this works in most people.
You don't have to go through insurance and pay all this out of pocket or pay nothing or the insurance doesn't pay anything.
So I'm going to try it. She said it works on most people. So there you go.
Anyhow, Rob, that's all I got. Those are all the emails. And I really love that one particularly. So thank you very much.
I did too. Yeah. Someone actually remembered that I was doing that and going through that and they actually gave a shit to actually write in and ask me how I was doing.
I appreciate that a lot. So thank you. Well, hey, how do you think I feel? Somebody just asked me about my chewing.
Yeah. You know what? Wow. I mean, that's somebody paying attention right there.
I'm telling you what, our numbers are picking up and I don't know, you know, who knows what this is.
It's been six months. Yeah. Who knows what this thing can be? I'm kind of like not putting a limit on it like I was.
You know, people remember a lot of stuff we talk about. So that means they listen to this. It's not just like.
Yeah, these are regulars. Yeah. This is not like that. There's a lot of them.
How many shows you listen to this background noise at first? You're kind of like, haha. Yeah. OK.
And then you just lose it. You start thinking of something else and someone comes up and goes, hey, what are they talking about?
I'm not sure. Yeah. Yeah. People aren't doing that to us. They remember this stuff. That's pretty good.
So thank you, everybody that writes in. I've got to check my emails for tomorrow and hopefully there's just as many and as good ones.
Thank you. And we've got to have Ronnie's list. So tomorrow.
I will have mine. Actually, I've got three of the seven already. Yeah, I just. Yeah.
I'm good with it. We're going tonight. What the hell? They're popping in my head, too, as soon as I read that.
Well, these three are my top three. Yeah. And I think I could guess yours and you could probably guess mine.
Oh, anyhow. All right, Rob, you got something? Yeah, I do. All right. Please go forth.
You know how I've talked about Pete, the musician, the singer. Yeah, I like it. Anyway, I do, too.
She's been storming the charts for three decades, but it appears that some of Pete's diehard followers
have only recently tweaked onto the salty backstory of her age name.
I don't think I know this one. You're about to find out. All right.
Alicia Betmore Hart, as her parents named her, lost her singing career age just 15 with the short book girl band Choice.
Her debut solo album, 2000's Can't Take Me Home, became a double platinum selling record.
Since then, this tour de chorus has taken home three Grammy Awards, a daytime Emmy Award, four Billboard Music Awards,
seven MTV Music Video Awards, two MTV Europe Music Awards, and a couple of the Brit Awards.
Wow. She's big. Despite her mammoth fame, a number of bands are still scratching their heads over why she goes by Pete.
The speculation is run right that most people thinking she's just fond of the color pink embrace yourselves. The true inspiration behind her name is somewhat risque.
I can believe it.
Turns out Alicia Beth Moore did not get her isp for a bottle of L'Oreal.
Instead, What About Us songsters came up with the moniker while watching Reservoir Dogs and the meaning is actually raucous.
It explained my best friend had never seen a white girl's vagina before. So he asked if he could see mine.
So I showed it to him. That's all it takes.
He said it's a pink. Then my friend started calling me Mr. Pink. If you've never seen Quentin Tarantino's vinyl film, Steve Buscemi's character is also named Mr. Pink.
She did confess that her choice in stage name hasn't exactly met the universal applause, adding, I've been receiving grumbles for a good while now. I'm okay with it.
Okay, people that have known about her for a while know that she did tend to get raunchy. Yes.
This was big before she got big. Now she's got to kind of watch herself. She's married with kids now. Long time has it.
She's kind of Taylor Swift in herself now. Where she's not necessarily any type of a genre. Everybody likes her. She's safe.
I love where she got her name.
I do too. I do too. Thank you, Rob. Let's go ahead and take our second break and we'll come back soon. All right.
All right. We'll be back in a minute.
Hi there. This is your ears. Why are you listening to this garbage? I thought we were friends.

Rob, you know, I sit there thinking, you know, everyone's heating bills gonna be astronomical because it's like 5000 below, right? And it's been that way.
OK, well, I just saw the way you can offset the high price of heating.
You can lower your electric bill. You can take all the stuff out of your freezer, put it out on your front porch and turn the freezer off.
Then when it starts to fall, yeah, you turn your freezer back on, you throw all the shit back in it and make damn sure that no animals eat it at night because then you, you know, you just kind of erase what you were doing.
There you go. Great tips from two do bags and microphone. Where else do you get energy saving tips from?
Right.

A woman wheeled to the fire department after getting her nose ring stuck in the office chair.
A woman in Big Dung City, Indonesia had to be rescued by a.
What?
Yeah, I gotta hear this one. Nose ring in an office chair.
In an office chair, yes.
Yeah, I gotta hear this one.
A woman in Bang Dung City, Indonesia had to be rescued by a whole squad of firefighters after getting her nose ring impossibly caught in a rolling office chair.
She had a new piercing and was playing around, just playing for fun before she messed up.
That's playing?
As uprisky, an official with the Bang Dung City Fire Department told local media, per the Daily Mail, the unnamed office employee had apparently been sticking her nose through the chair's mesh frame when all of a sudden it got stuck.
Per the official.
I understand that. My chair has mesh on it.
I would not be putting that there.
I get it. As a matter of fact, a long time ago I had my left nipple ripped because my nipple ring was stuck in a phone cord and I didn't realize it until I tried to hang up.
And that is some horrible fucking pain. If the gang wasn't around I probably would have cried.
But everybody was there and I was calling somebody for something and I didn't have my shirt on like a tough guy. And I had my nipple ring in. That's why I didn't have my shirt on.
Because I had to show off that I had a nipple ring. I was one of the cool ones.
And there's a pay phone. Look it up. Google it.
Anyhow, I take the phone and I mash it down because I was fucking with somebody or we were talking to somebody and I'm like, okay fuck off. And I smashed the phone down.
Just joking around. And it took that nipple ring and tore my nipple.
And it hurt like fuck.
And I taped it up and it is back to being a nipple.
But I had it taped for like two weeks and it hurt like hell and I had to keep throwing iodine or something on it or alcohol.
So I kind of see what she went through.
But still I didn't stick my nose through a mesh seat.
Yeah.
You know, a mesh office chair.
So but mine was just stupidity. Not thinking about it. Just sticking around. Horse assing around.
So, okay.
Alright, but that's all of that one. You got something Rob?
Yeah, I do. I'm actually going to jump into the music world.
Excellent.
Well, I'm going to, yeah. I got a few weird ones too, but let's save them for the morning.
Okay.
Sharon Osborne has revealed that one of her biggest mistakes at manager has been Ozzy Osborne.
Was not allowing the male icon to audition for a role in the Pirates of the Caribbean movie franchise.
Okay.
The revolution came during Sharon's appearance on Billy Corgan's new podcast, The Magnus and Others.
Do you want to know the biggest mistake I ever made with Ozzy? She asked the Smashing Pumpkins front man.
Who responded, you're going to admit to a mistake?
That's a good one.
Yeah, that was a good one.
Sharon continued, he got offered to go and read for Pirates of the Caribbean.
And I've never said this to anyone.
For the worldwide and you said no.
To which Sharon answered, I said no.
Wouldn't he have been perfect? You shared.
Johnny Gaffer wanted Billy, wanted Keith Richards to be a pirate, remember?
Another rock legend, Paul McCartney portrayed Sparrow's uncle, Uncle Jack, in Pirates of the Caribbean, Dead Men Tell No Tales.
Also a possible role that Ozzy could have played.
I think that would have been.
Ozzy notes that he liked Johnny Gaffer to play him in a movie, but more recently he said he preferred a relatively unknown actor over the Pirates of the Caribbean star.
Yeah, that's in his biopic that's going to be coming out.
Yeah.
The guy does resemble him quite a bit.
Okay.
Wow.
The other thing is he had a chance to be an actor in Pirates of the Caribbean.
I think he'd been great.
I think he would have been great too.
And also the other thing is Van Halen.
Van Halen wanted him to be a lead singer after David Lee Roth.
Wouldn't that have been fucking awesome?
Yeah, I think she messed up there too.
I mean she didn't have to like stay the lead singer, but they could have done a few albums and did a couple of tours.
And then he went back to do his solo stuff or maybe done both.
You know, but anyhow.
Yeah.
Yeah, no well, you know, what could have been.
But yeah, I think he would have been a very, very good fucking pirate.
Especially the way he talks.
Definitely.
Cool.
Wow.
That's pretty neat.
You know that they found out who broke in and stole a bunch of stuff from Travis Kelce and Mahomes and other people?
Yeah, I've heard that.
Okay.
A gang of Chilean nationals has been charged with a string of robberies that stole millions in valuables from high profile athletes across the U.S.
Including the homes of Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce and Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow.
The seven illegal immigrants were all charged with conspiracy to commit interstate transportation of stolen property.
A criminal complaint unsealed in Tampa, Florida on Tuesday revealed.
The men are suspected members of a South American death group who targeted high profile athletes in the National Football League and National Basketball Association.
All of whom were away or playing on professional games at the time their burglaries, prosecutors said.
Mahomes had his belt in Missouri mansion robbed just after midnight on October 6.
And Kelce's home was also broken into in Kansas City area on October 7.
According to Cass County Sheriff's Office, the gang is suspected of breaking into the homes while the Chiefs were gearing up to face off against the New Orleans Saints in Kansas City.
The Chilean nationals allegedly made off with jewelry, watches, cash and other luxury merchandise during the Missouri burglaries, prosecutors revealed.
Two weeks later, the illegal immigrants allegedly struck again.
But in Tampa on October 21, 2024, the home of Tampa Bay Buccaneers player was burglarized while the team played in Tampa jewelry, designer watches, luxury suitcases and a firearm were stolen.
The criminal complaint said the Buccaneers were playing the Baltimore Ravens in Tampa around the time of the robbery.
The alleged gang bangers were also linked to a burglar at a home in Milwaukee's Buck player during a game on November 2.
And a safe contained to several watches, chains, personal items, jewelry and cash was stolen along with a designer suitcase and designer bags, prosecutors said.
The total value of property stolen was approximately $1.484 million. So one and a half million, Rob, one and a half million was stolen.
Damn!
I know the Chilean immigrants are awaiting. They've been accused and arraigned and we'll see what happens. So isn't that something?
Yeah, I actually read that story.
Yeah. And the thing is, they knew where the players were.
They were on the football field or on the NBA court. Geez.
They're on the TV.
Wow. Yep. Okay, Rob, you got something?
Yeah. First off, I have an update.
Okay.
On my new support group.
Oh, yeah.
The M-P-P-G.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Please, go ahead.
The Musically Bipolar.
Mm-hmm. I am a member of this group. You know that.
Yeah, I know. You are a member.
I've already got my card.
We had our first meeting Thursday night.
I videoed in.
It was great, man. Well, I think it was great. I don't know how it went.
There was me and our lead welder that put this thing together.
Uh-huh.
And we had five people show up.
Nice.
Yeah, yeah.
Nice.
It's just, I don't know if this is the direction I want to take it, though.
All we did was sit around and turn each other on to do music.
What's wrong with that?
Well, yeah, I guess I would be supportive, wouldn't I? I was thinking, you know, I wanted to help, you know.
Get everybody to listen to one style.
No, I guess not. We'll just help each other. Why not?
Yeah, yeah. Hell yeah.
That's what we're a support group.
Yeah, and what you're doing is you're embracing your musical bipolarism.
You're not denying it. You're giving it a big hug. Yeah, you're like, look, we know. We know this.
So we're going to go ahead and take it head on by embracing it.
And I agree with you 100%.
This is something that you, you know, you need to embrace and realize that it's not going away.
And to realize that it's natural to have music bipolarism. There we go.
And like I said, everybody is welcome to show up at the bunker.
Yeah, at the bunker. Rob Rad's bunker in Camdenton, Missouri.
Stock full of dry goods.
Let's see, vibrating toys.
Yeah. Yeah. A few things here and there. A couple. A couple.
Now you got to, you have to email Rob for the secret knock
because he doesn't open the door unless you have the secret knock.
Oh yeah. Yeah. So anyhow, email Rob and say, hey, you want to be a part of this?
And what is the secret knock? And he will get back with you.
Yeah, you might get attacked by a killer eagle.
Yes. Yep. Yep. And you don't want that.
You don't want that. All right. Rob, I saw we're a Southwest Airlines going to lay off
approximately 1700 of its workforce. 1700 people.
Yeah. Do you know what makes this layoff different?
What? They're going to go for the front office and not the grunts.
Oh damn. Yeah. The front office. It's always the grunts that get it.
You know, they don't make that much money, but they still go after it.
Which would always defied logic to me.
So and what they, you know, a typical layoff is, okay, we're going to cut the workforce down,
but give you as much work. So hey, you got a job. You better work harder to keep it.
That type of thing. So they're going for the front office, not the grunts, which is excellent.
The front office accounts for much more of the labor spending than anyone out there on the floor.
I know as well as myself, you know, are used to the labor guys getting the ax.
This is a refreshing because number one, there's more waste in the office.
Number two, less people laid off, but more money saved.
This would take three baggage guys and a couple of attendants to make up one upper management layoff at least.
Right. Yeah. So I think maybe they took a look at the DOGE, the department of government efficiency
and Elon's plan of action. Maybe perhaps this could be a new era in the company.
Trimminus salaries instead of going for the grunt on the floor.
They actually go for people really making money.
And maybe that's going to make more of a difference because I've been around industry my whole life.
And I've always seen the biggest waste coming from the office. What about you?
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Everybody's little brother has a special little pet job in the office.
You got to root them out. So I thought that was refreshing because on the surface I was like, oh, shit, damn, something's going on here.
You know, I didn't know Southwest is doing that bad. They're not.
What they did is I'm pretty sure as they saw what Elon Musk is doing.
And I'm not saying I'm for anybody or nothing like that. And they said, you know what? We could do that.
We could trim our own fat here. He's not, you know, and I think that's what they're doing.
They're going to root out this waste going on in the upper management. And I think that's awesome.
So, Rob, we turn to you unless you want to shut this shit show down.
No, I have a story here that I don't know. I feel compelled to get out there because it's a new online challenge for teens.
OK. It's a bad one there. And this one comes. This story comes out of Brazil.
OK.
A 14 year old Brazilian boy died after rejecting himself with butterfly remains.
With police investigating if it was part of a twist online challenge.
We're into a report. David Nunes started to vomit and then developed a limp after mixing a dead butterfly in water and then injecting the liquid into his leg.
The team told his daddy he heard himself while playing, but didn't invest in what really happened when he continued growing sicker and was admitted to a hospital.
His dad also found the syringe his son had used hidden under the boys pillow, according to the report.
David was rushed to another hospital. The state's bias third largest city on Wednesday would succumb to his injuries.
Oh, OK. The mysterious death rate, the possible toxins in the butterfly mix that caused his body to shut down as he went into septic shock.
He's making headlines across Brazil. Wow. So, yeah. OK. Come on, parents. Watch your kids. Yeah, geez.
Come on, man. We went for the Tide Pods. Now they're physically injecting dead butterflies.
And it caused this boy to die from the diseases.
Wow. Yeah. The problem with challenges.
There's one I had to get out tonight. No, I do. I love that, man. I mean, I don't love that. The fact that the kid died from that and everything.
But it's good to have a. That's why I put it out there. Yeah. Come on, parents. Watch kids. Watch your kids and make sure they're not doing stupid shit like this because it could really end badly like it did for this guy.
So, yeah, thank you. Yeah, they do look delicious, though, don't they?
OK. Yeah, but the Tide Pod thing caught me by off guard. I was like, what? Are they really doing that? Yeah, they are really. They were really doing that.
Yeah, yeah, they did. Well, it's like the meme that's been going around forever and said, you know, when I was a kid, my dad and my dad used to have me help him tune up the points, you know, in the car with the manual with the owner's manual.
And now the owner manual tells you not to drink battery acid. Exactly.
So there you go. And there goes another possible dumbing down of America.
Like I was talking about the. Yeah. Yeah.
I'll stop with that. So that's true. That's true. Yeah, it is.
Real quick here, I want to say that I did this on the music creeps, but not everybody listens to it. So I want to do this here. The backlash of Ozzie Sabbath fans on the astronomical ticket prices for back to the beginning has been huge.
This is Ozzie's final concert is goodbye, his thank you and everything.
And it's in Birmingham, England, one day event. The average fan was priced out this ticket event right off.
You know, and that's not even with the secondary market, you know, and how high they're going to get jacked up there.
Yeah, I know the charity is going to go to it's going to go to charity and everything.
But I mean, you know, what about your lifelong fans? You know, don't you owe it to them to maybe make a little bit more affordable ticket?
But since there's been such backlash, one good thing is they had added more bands and guests.
They now have Black Sabbath, Ozzie Solo, Guns N' Roses, Slayer, Pantera, Alice in Chains, Hillstorm, Anthrax and other lesser known bands.
And then there is going to be a super group added and it will consist of Duff McKagan, Slash, Billy Corgan, Fred Durst, KK Downing, Jake E. Lee, Wolfgang Van Halen, Tom Morello,
Andrew Watt, Chad Smith, Dave Ellison, Rudy Sarzo, Sammy Hagar and Scott. I am the man, Ian. Plus more.
Oh my God. Yeah. Ozzie said he will only do bits. Do what?
Oh, go ahead. Go ahead. Okay. Ozzie said he'll only do bits and pieces in the Sabbath material.
So I think he can probably, you know, go longer on his solo stuff.
And the other thing I want to see is Jake E. Lee and Zach Wild play together because Zach plays in Pantera now.
And that would be insane to me because I love both their style with Ozzie and it'd be their most prolific ones that they've had since Randy Rode's death.
So, you know, it'd be geeks like me, you and Topher would like just go nuts over this.
Anyhow, what were you going to? That's why I'm kind of backing up my paper view. I hope they can.
I think they will have a paper. If they're looking to get that much money from the live, there's nothing more than that.
I guarantee you for everybody that couldn't make it. My good friend Flaman, he's Bulgarian and I met him up on a job in Boston.
I've been friends with him ever since. He worked at the hotel that I stayed at.
And we got to be friends because I was wearing my deep purple shirt and he'd come up just fucking freaking, oh, Richie Blackmore. Yeah.
And we got to be friends. He's going. He's got a friend in Germany and he had his friend buy him a ticket and him and his friend are going to go.
And I'm just like, dude, jealous. So. But yeah, I think the paper view is a good way to reach everybody.
People like me and you would be interested in that, wouldn't we? Oh, definitely. Yeah. Yeah.
And that would be great. People have parties, have people over, you know.
You know, it would be excellent. You know, people that were big fans of Sabbath and Ozzy.
You know, we'd go, hey, everyone go down to Jim's house or whatever.
And, you know, and everybody put in a couple of bucks, watch it, eat some wings, drink some brews and watch one hell of an all day event.
So, yeah, I'm not happy with the ticket prices from what they were saying, but I'm happy that this is going to be such a huge event.
So and I think Ozzy feels he owes it to his fans.
And I think the fans feel like they owe it to Ozzy. I think it's a two way street. So God bless you.
Got anything, Rob? Oh, yeah, I just want to tell Tulsa King I'm already up to five.
I'm up to about three. I got to think some more. I've got three definite.
I've got two maybes. I've got to think this out. There's only seven, only seven of them.
So I know. Yeah. I honestly I believe I know who my other two are. All right.
I'll let you know tomorrow night. Sounds cool to me. All right.
I guess we're done with this, aren't we? Yeah, I'm about white for the day, man.
Yeah, I think I'm doing too. We've been half staff the last two days, so we all got to pick up. You know how it goes.
Oh, yeah, I do. Yeah. Yeah. Yep. The temperature reaches a zero and suddenly everybody's cars a piece of shit.
Oh, no, what happened, man? And photo one start. Okay. Well, we also live here at Tulsa. A lot of gravel roads.
Okay. I'm not being fair to you guys. A lot of county roads. Yeah, that's true.
Okay. You're right about that. I just can't get out. Yeah, I get that.
Some of those hills there are hard enough without anything on the road. So.
All right, everybody. Thank you for listening. Have a good night, assholes.
Good night, assholes.
Oh, no, looks like the show's over, kids. Mark has explosive diarrhea and can't afford a wireless mic.
Fear not, assholes. They'll be back invading your ear holes soon.
