just to have a selfie with the Knobloch sign.

00:01:13.950 --> 00:01:16.810
Here at Two Douchebags and a Microphone, we don't

00:01:16.810 --> 00:01:20.049
stand behind our journalistic integrity. Go ahead

00:01:20.049 --> 00:01:23.209
and assume we got the story wrong. At least we

00:01:23.209 --> 00:01:26.530
admit it. Not like all those other guys. We can

00:01:26.530 --> 00:01:30.909
and will lie if it makes the story better. Two

00:01:30.909 --> 00:01:54.109
douchebags and a microphone. To radiation. Watch

00:01:54.109 --> 00:01:58.870
him glow. Watch Rob Red jump up 25 feet and grab

00:01:58.870 --> 00:02:02.390
birds out of thin air with his mouth. With his

00:02:02.390 --> 00:02:06.870
mouth. Rob can now be rented for children's parties

00:02:06.870 --> 00:02:10.689
and bar men's fests. That's right. Come on and

00:02:10.689 --> 00:02:13.930
rent you a Rob today. That's right. Come by and

00:02:13.930 --> 00:02:19.710
rent Rob for a day. A day. A day. Watch Rob consume

00:02:19.710 --> 00:02:22.610
seven bottles of night cream and still break

00:02:22.610 --> 00:02:27.449
dance and moonwalk. Watch Rob Red fart down a

00:02:27.449 --> 00:02:32.009
building. Fart down a building! Rob Red assumes

00:02:32.009 --> 00:02:34.750
no responsibility whatsoever. He is not a babysitter

00:02:34.750 --> 00:02:36.169
and he doesn't give one hell of a shit about

00:02:36.169 --> 00:02:38.129
your children. Please remember to corral every

00:02:38.129 --> 00:02:40.460
little bastard you have. before Rob gets there

00:02:40.460 --> 00:02:42.659
and Waldo will not put up with any back talk.

00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:45.180
He will promptly get them into place. Rob Rehag

00:02:45.180 --> 00:02:47.319
assumes no responsibility for anything that could

00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:50.039
be stolen from his visit. Rob Rehag has no responsibility

00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:52.280
whatsoever in any help him of any situation.

00:02:53.060 --> 00:02:56.219
Read a Rob today. Our constant pursuit for a

00:02:56.219 --> 00:02:59.479
real knee slapper. It's strange insults from

00:02:59.479 --> 00:03:07.439
an alien. Real hilarity. I wish you good. My

00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:17.520
mom told me to not burn trash. Please. Why Whataburger,

00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:22.719
you say? Well, because what a deep -fried crispy

00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:25.520
chicken nugget just didn't have the right ring.

00:03:29.979 --> 00:03:32.900
Two dish bags, a microphone, and an effort to

00:03:32.900 --> 00:03:37.750
keep everything fresh. We offer you... First

00:03:37.750 --> 00:03:40.990
world problems. Man, my internet is so slow.

00:03:41.229 --> 00:03:43.689
This is bullshit. How am I supposed to browse

00:03:43.689 --> 00:03:47.409
or get on TikTok with slow internet? I'm so pissed

00:03:47.409 --> 00:03:51.270
off right now. I don't know what to do. Hey,

00:03:51.289 --> 00:03:54.069
look. I think we found land. Oh, my God. I think

00:03:54.069 --> 00:03:58.210
we're safe. Oh, no. It's an island of horrible

00:03:58.210 --> 00:04:07.750
jokes. What did the zero say to the eight? That

00:04:07.750 --> 00:04:21.810
belt looks good on you. Mmm. Two douchebags and

00:04:21.810 --> 00:04:23.930
a microphone. My name is Mark, and I'm in Kansas

00:04:23.930 --> 00:04:28.629
City. And I am Rob, and I am in beautiful Lake

00:04:28.629 --> 00:04:32.350
of the Ozarks. Yes, it is. And go make a trek

00:04:32.350 --> 00:04:35.769
down there here before too much longer. you know

00:04:35.769 --> 00:04:37.750
getting antsy i mean i know the cruise is coming

00:04:37.750 --> 00:04:39.569
up in a month but i'm talking about like maybe

00:04:39.569 --> 00:04:42.490
right after the cruise a couple weeks after um

00:04:42.490 --> 00:04:45.170
going down there and uh and then maybe heading

00:04:45.170 --> 00:04:47.350
to eureka springs or something but you know last

00:04:47.350 --> 00:04:49.889
last year when we went down there accidentally

00:04:49.889 --> 00:04:52.029
because uh you know we're going to go to that

00:04:52.029 --> 00:04:54.589
show to glenn hughes and starship and all that

00:04:54.589 --> 00:04:58.509
it was uh um those aren't music festival in sedalia

00:04:58.509 --> 00:05:01.029
and it rained like hell the night before so it

00:05:01.029 --> 00:05:05.350
was canceled so we kind of inadvertently uh we

00:05:05.350 --> 00:05:07.629
were looking for Val's old lake house, and then

00:05:07.629 --> 00:05:10.129
we ended up, it got too dark to go back on those

00:05:10.129 --> 00:05:12.949
roads back to Sedalia, so we found that place

00:05:12.949 --> 00:05:14.790
there, the resort at Lake of the Ozarks that

00:05:14.790 --> 00:05:16.930
was just fucking excellent. Well, ever since

00:05:16.930 --> 00:05:18.610
then, I've been thinking about the lake, and

00:05:18.610 --> 00:05:20.629
man, I haven't been to Lake of the Ozarks except

00:05:20.629 --> 00:05:24.410
for that night in a long, long time. So, I think

00:05:24.410 --> 00:05:27.209
we're about due to spend a few days there. So,

00:05:27.250 --> 00:05:31.360
anyhow. So anyhow, I've got this little thing

00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:35.379
here. Back in 2018, and this is an annoyance

00:05:35.379 --> 00:05:37.259
thing, and I want to get your input on this,

00:05:37.300 --> 00:05:39.139
Rob, on several parts of it, and I'll let you

00:05:39.139 --> 00:05:42.600
know, okay? Back in 2018, I was trying to go

00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:45.519
see Gene Simmons' band. He was touring while

00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:48.259
the End of the Road tour was taking a break.

00:05:48.779 --> 00:05:51.800
I really wanted to see the show. Gene had promised...

00:05:52.810 --> 00:05:55.149
you know, that he's going to play some songs

00:05:55.149 --> 00:05:57.050
that you've never heard live before from Kiss

00:05:57.050 --> 00:06:00.370
Tunes and some solo tunes with some cover songs

00:06:00.370 --> 00:06:04.649
mixed in. So I go to, it sounded great. Doesn't

00:06:04.649 --> 00:06:05.970
it sound great? You know, and it's going to be

00:06:05.970 --> 00:06:08.329
a small venue and it's Gene Simmons and his band

00:06:08.329 --> 00:06:10.990
is really good. He's got a really good band that

00:06:10.990 --> 00:06:13.089
backs him up. So I'm like, man, that sounds like

00:06:13.089 --> 00:06:14.910
a lot of fun, you know, and it won't be nearly

00:06:14.910 --> 00:06:17.550
as expensive as a Kiss concert because you don't

00:06:17.550 --> 00:06:19.970
have $2 billion worth of pyro and all that stuff.

00:06:20.149 --> 00:06:23.860
So I'm like, all right, I'm in. So, anyhow, I

00:06:23.860 --> 00:06:26.319
go to jeansimmons .com. I think it's still that,

00:06:26.420 --> 00:06:28.879
but I don't know. And I purchased a ticket for

00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:33.779
Tulsa. So, anyhow, I take the day off work. It's

00:06:33.779 --> 00:06:36.240
a four -and -a -half -hour drive from here. I

00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:38.579
get a hotel room. I buy it. A week before the

00:06:38.579 --> 00:06:40.680
concert, I look up the address at a venue, and

00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:42.980
I noticed it's not on the website anymore. So,

00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:45.620
anyhow, I called down, and sure enough, the show

00:06:45.620 --> 00:06:48.680
was canceled. So, I took a day off work and wasted

00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:51.560
money on a hotel room I never got to use. Number

00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:54.519
one, that pisses you off. So, Rob, don't you

00:06:54.519 --> 00:06:58.879
think that's bullshit? Anyhow, so you'd been

00:06:58.879 --> 00:07:03.839
upset too, right? Yeah, I would have. Yeah, okay.

00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:07.459
And also, because they didn't give a defining

00:07:07.459 --> 00:07:10.759
reason. You see what I'm saying? Like maybe the

00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:13.540
sales weren't good enough. So, I'll go into a

00:07:13.540 --> 00:07:14.939
little bit more of that a little bit later. But

00:07:14.939 --> 00:07:18.660
you know what? I've been a huge fan of Kiss and

00:07:18.660 --> 00:07:21.740
Gene Simmons for a long time, but I haven't been

00:07:21.740 --> 00:07:24.240
in the last 10 years, just like Nikki Sixx. I

00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:26.220
can't stand him now. I think he's a fake piece

00:07:26.220 --> 00:07:29.139
of crap. So, you know, my opinion, and I think

00:07:29.139 --> 00:07:30.899
Gene Simmons is no better. I think they're both

00:07:30.899 --> 00:07:34.720
fake pieces of shit to me. It's my opinion. So,

00:07:34.779 --> 00:07:37.439
anyhow, so then I have an advertisement on my

00:07:37.439 --> 00:07:39.620
phone about Gene Simmons Band doing a charity

00:07:39.620 --> 00:07:43.040
benefit in Omaha for Warren Buffett. Warren Buffett

00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:45.399
has all these charities, right? And so I'm like,

00:07:45.439 --> 00:07:47.439
hey, okay, so you know how your phone listens

00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:52.980
to you, right? So I'm like, cool. Omaha's just

00:07:52.980 --> 00:07:55.300
three and a half hours, three hours really from

00:07:55.300 --> 00:07:57.420
here. So, all right, because I would be leaving

00:07:57.420 --> 00:07:59.459
from the city from my old job. It'd be about

00:07:59.459 --> 00:08:01.939
three hours away. So I'm like, hell yeah. So

00:08:01.939 --> 00:08:03.879
once I get off work, I could head up there and

00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:07.319
be there in plenty of time for the show. So anyhow,

00:08:08.019 --> 00:08:10.620
I see it's at the Ballet Hall in downtown Omaha,

00:08:10.740 --> 00:08:13.480
which is beautiful. I saw the pictures of it

00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:16.879
and was excited to go see a show there. So it

00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:18.879
took me a while to find the tickets on a secondary

00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:20.980
market, but I found them, okay? Because there

00:08:20.980 --> 00:08:24.540
is a very small venue and it was a charity. There's

00:08:24.540 --> 00:08:26.279
only going to be a couple hundred tickets, right?

00:08:26.379 --> 00:08:28.040
There's not that many tickets and the ballet

00:08:28.040 --> 00:08:30.959
hall is not that large in Omaha. So I'm like,

00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:33.779
man, how fucking cool, you know? You get to see

00:08:33.779 --> 00:08:37.100
this legend that you grew up with that close.

00:08:37.940 --> 00:08:40.080
Okay, and it's like, cool, cooler than shit,

00:08:40.139 --> 00:08:43.360
man. That sounds great, and I love Omaha. You've

00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:46.000
lived in Omaha for a while, too, right? I thought,

00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:50.759
you stayed up there? I worked one night, stayed

00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:53.039
one night up there. Oh, yeah, yeah, there was

00:08:53.039 --> 00:08:56.019
a bunch of tornadoes or something? Yeah, a bunch

00:08:56.019 --> 00:08:58.679
of tornadoes. I had a toolbox stolen off the

00:08:58.679 --> 00:08:59.940
back of my truck. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's

00:08:59.940 --> 00:09:04.200
it. Okay, you know what, I'll shut up about Omaha.

00:09:07.220 --> 00:09:11.460
Okay. All right. Well, anyhow, you know, so I

00:09:11.460 --> 00:09:13.799
was excited. It's a great haul because my old

00:09:13.799 --> 00:09:15.519
company, we did a lot of work that we put in

00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:18.230
there, the glass and this. in the Stainless Post,

00:09:18.389 --> 00:09:21.350
and it's beautiful work, okay, and I saw pictures

00:09:21.350 --> 00:09:23.269
of it, and I was excited to go take a look at

00:09:23.269 --> 00:09:25.750
it up close, and you know, 200 people, and there's

00:09:25.750 --> 00:09:28.490
Gene Simmons, so like I said, it took me forever,

00:09:28.610 --> 00:09:30.830
I find the tickets on a secondary market, I paid

00:09:30.830 --> 00:09:32.649
a little bit more for them than I really, but

00:09:32.649 --> 00:09:34.629
I really wanted to see it, and I want to see

00:09:34.629 --> 00:09:36.470
the venue, so I'm like, you know what, this is

00:09:36.470 --> 00:09:38.250
probably a once in a lifetime deal, you know,

00:09:38.269 --> 00:09:42.210
to see him in that small of a venue. And it's

00:09:42.210 --> 00:09:45.710
for a charity, and it's a special one -off for

00:09:45.710 --> 00:09:49.409
Warren Buffett, his good friend. So this time

00:09:49.409 --> 00:09:51.330
I wait a week before to make sure the show is

00:09:51.330 --> 00:09:54.070
going on as planned. Then I book a nice room

00:09:54.070 --> 00:10:00.470
at the Hyatt Place, an old orchard area of downtown

00:10:00.470 --> 00:10:03.570
Omaha, which I love that area. I get there the

00:10:03.570 --> 00:10:06.779
day of the show. And this is right after work.

00:10:06.899 --> 00:10:09.200
I check into my room, and I go get some food,

00:10:09.259 --> 00:10:11.779
and then I keep my car at the hotel, and I Uber

00:10:11.779 --> 00:10:13.740
to the venue. It's only five minutes away, right?

00:10:14.259 --> 00:10:16.860
So I make sure the venue's where I thought it

00:10:16.860 --> 00:10:19.419
was because I didn't see any lines in front of

00:10:19.419 --> 00:10:22.940
the hall or on the sides, right? You know how

00:10:22.940 --> 00:10:25.200
there's a concert? Even a couple hundred people,

00:10:25.399 --> 00:10:30.559
you'd see signs of life, right? You'd see a couple

00:10:30.559 --> 00:10:33.059
people straggling somewhere, and I'm like, hmm.

00:10:33.929 --> 00:10:39.110
this does not look good so anyhow um and i get

00:10:39.110 --> 00:10:40.950
to the ticket booth and the lady was unaware

00:10:40.950 --> 00:10:44.690
of the show so the show wasn't there so uh she

00:10:44.690 --> 00:10:46.950
called the manager to check on it the show was

00:10:46.950 --> 00:10:48.970
canceled a couple weeks after it was confirmed

00:10:48.970 --> 00:10:52.169
so she didn't get any info of the show at all

00:10:52.169 --> 00:10:56.730
so uh so anyhow so like uh this is really really

00:10:56.730 --> 00:10:59.029
fucking irritating now because you know this

00:10:59.029 --> 00:11:01.769
is too Two of them that just got canceled for

00:11:01.769 --> 00:11:04.450
no, you know, probably lack of sales, I'd imagine.

00:11:04.909 --> 00:11:07.409
So the manager knew about it. They both apologized

00:11:07.409 --> 00:11:09.870
several times, and the ticket lady felt so bad

00:11:09.870 --> 00:11:11.950
for me, I told her I'd go for three and a half

00:11:11.950 --> 00:11:14.490
hours right after work to see that show that

00:11:14.490 --> 00:11:17.730
didn't exist. She let me attend the yearly private

00:11:17.730 --> 00:11:21.230
party. The hall had further venues up on the

00:11:21.230 --> 00:11:24.990
rooftop lounge, okay? So that was cooler than

00:11:24.990 --> 00:11:26.669
shit. It was really cooler for her to do that

00:11:26.669 --> 00:11:28.350
because she could understand how disappointed

00:11:28.350 --> 00:11:30.809
and upset I was, right? Three and a half hours,

00:11:30.909 --> 00:11:34.909
the ticket that I bought, the gas, the money

00:11:34.909 --> 00:11:36.870
for the hotel room, everything. But it turned

00:11:36.870 --> 00:11:39.009
out to be a nice little getaway because I got

00:11:39.009 --> 00:11:41.590
to go get a free buffet and a couple free beers

00:11:41.590 --> 00:11:44.539
and mixed drinks on the rooftop. And the vendors,

00:11:44.639 --> 00:11:46.139
they didn't know who I was. They didn't know

00:11:46.139 --> 00:11:48.440
that I wasn't a vendor, right? They did this

00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:50.919
for their vendors every year. So they just thought

00:11:50.919 --> 00:11:52.639
I was another vendor. So there wasn't anyone

00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:55.080
there going, hey, who's this guy? You know, and

00:11:55.080 --> 00:11:57.840
nor did anyone come up to me and go, hey, who

00:11:57.840 --> 00:12:01.080
are you from? You know, like, I'm from the Cisco

00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:04.009
brothers or something like, you know. I didn't

00:12:04.009 --> 00:12:06.149
have to make up any bullshit either, right? I

00:12:06.149 --> 00:12:08.929
wasn't really talking to anybody or nothing,

00:12:09.009 --> 00:12:10.549
but I was having a good time. I'm sitting there

00:12:10.549 --> 00:12:14.409
looking off the rooftop, looking at the skyscrapers,

00:12:14.409 --> 00:12:16.669
looking down in the park next to it, and I'm

00:12:16.669 --> 00:12:18.710
slamming some drinks and eating some good food.

00:12:18.850 --> 00:12:21.470
So it turned out to be pretty cool. And the buffet

00:12:21.470 --> 00:12:25.690
was really good. So, you know, it was very cool

00:12:25.690 --> 00:12:27.649
that they did that. And they really saved the

00:12:27.649 --> 00:12:30.730
night doing that because, man, I was pretty bummed

00:12:30.730 --> 00:12:34.230
out and pissed. So anyhow, I drove all the way

00:12:34.230 --> 00:12:36.070
there, bought a hotel, you know, and all that.

00:12:36.169 --> 00:12:38.870
So they really, you know, they took care of me.

00:12:39.870 --> 00:12:45.529
So anyhow, I had fun, you know. But the thing

00:12:45.529 --> 00:12:47.309
is, on the other hand, I'm out all this money

00:12:47.309 --> 00:12:49.710
that I didn't have to be out in time, too, because

00:12:49.710 --> 00:12:55.059
Tulsa, I took a day off. And yeah, I got my money

00:12:55.059 --> 00:12:57.360
back and the tickets and everything. But still,

00:12:57.440 --> 00:13:00.200
I bought a hotel room and I took the day off

00:13:00.200 --> 00:13:03.919
work for nothing because it didn't exist. And

00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:06.419
I'm glad I had to look up the address of the

00:13:06.419 --> 00:13:09.080
venue because in Tulsa, I would have done that

00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:10.899
too. I drove all the way down there, four and

00:13:10.899 --> 00:13:15.600
a half hours for nothing. So anyhow, so I actually,

00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:17.399
you know, had fun when I got back to the hotel.

00:13:17.519 --> 00:13:19.740
Yeah, I go down to buy a beer from the bar, right?

00:13:20.679 --> 00:13:23.879
And I'm a little lit, right? So, I run to my

00:13:23.879 --> 00:13:26.320
room real quickly to put my phone on the charger.

00:13:26.440 --> 00:13:29.899
Because after the rooftop bar, I went to a restaurant

00:13:29.899 --> 00:13:32.440
right next door. And I had a couple more drinks.

00:13:32.500 --> 00:13:34.759
Because, you know, I'm trying to settle down,

00:13:34.980 --> 00:13:37.000
right? You know what I mean? You're like, fuck.

00:13:37.279 --> 00:13:39.039
I'm going to make fun of this evening no matter

00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:42.759
what. So, I'm slamming some drinks. So, I order

00:13:42.759 --> 00:13:44.759
one from the bar. And I'm a little lit. Okay,

00:13:44.879 --> 00:13:47.659
she's going to go get my beer. So, anyhow, I

00:13:47.659 --> 00:13:50.720
run to my room real quickly. And I got my beer

00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:54.519
first, okay? And anyhow, I put my phone on the

00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:56.360
charger. I run back downstairs to the bar, and

00:13:56.360 --> 00:13:58.799
they closed it up. And this wasn't that long,

00:13:58.919 --> 00:14:01.039
man. I mean, I had to get it out of my suitcase

00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:03.299
or my bag and everything and put it. So it was

00:14:03.299 --> 00:14:07.340
probably 10 minutes at the most. So anyhow, I

00:14:07.340 --> 00:14:09.860
get down there, and they close the bar up. And,

00:14:09.879 --> 00:14:11.720
yeah, I was a little lit. So I go to the front

00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:14.200
desk. I tell them to open the bar back up. But

00:14:14.200 --> 00:14:15.879
he asked if I was going to pay for the beer with

00:14:15.879 --> 00:14:19.600
a card on file. I said yes. He told me to look

00:14:19.600 --> 00:14:22.919
in my wallet. I'm like, okay, all right, smartass.

00:14:23.080 --> 00:14:24.840
I look in my wallet. He goes, is there a card

00:14:24.840 --> 00:14:29.440
there? Well, it was, Rob. And then he informed

00:14:29.440 --> 00:14:32.679
me. He said that they always use the room number

00:14:32.679 --> 00:14:34.980
card on file to purchase drinks. That way they

00:14:34.980 --> 00:14:38.139
could throw a little gratuity in to help the

00:14:38.139 --> 00:14:40.320
staff out, okay? So they take it out of your

00:14:40.320 --> 00:14:42.799
card. And I didn't mind this. And they take 18

00:14:42.799 --> 00:14:45.690
% out or whatever, you know, for the staff. Because

00:14:45.690 --> 00:14:48.009
I guess a lot of people stiff them in that type

00:14:48.009 --> 00:14:49.909
of industry, the hotel industry. People don't

00:14:49.909 --> 00:14:53.129
think about it. So, you know, I was drunk and

00:14:53.129 --> 00:14:55.450
I thought I gave her my card, but I didn't, you

00:14:55.450 --> 00:14:57.889
know. So anyhow, so he's like, oh, yeah, yeah,

00:14:57.889 --> 00:15:00.289
we already took it off there. It's fine. Everything's

00:15:00.289 --> 00:15:02.090
good. You're good. You got your card. All right.

00:15:02.149 --> 00:15:04.669
So, you know, next morning I go back up in my

00:15:04.669 --> 00:15:06.970
room. I'm like, OK, well, that was a little embarrassing.

00:15:06.990 --> 00:15:08.690
But, you know, it's still I don't care that much.

00:15:08.950 --> 00:15:12.340
So next morning. I go to a couple of retro places

00:15:12.340 --> 00:15:15.080
in the Old Market area. Not Old Orchard. Old

00:15:15.080 --> 00:15:18.039
Market. How come I always call it Old Orchard

00:15:18.039 --> 00:15:21.259
area? The Old Market area. I don't know either.

00:15:21.820 --> 00:15:23.740
They had a couple of cool -ass vinyl stores,

00:15:23.899 --> 00:15:26.460
too, that I lost a couple hours in. So then,

00:15:26.539 --> 00:15:28.200
you know, I realize it's getting kind of late.

00:15:28.299 --> 00:15:29.919
It's probably getting about 1 o 'clock. I'm like,

00:15:29.980 --> 00:15:31.759
you know, I need to get back to KC. I got some

00:15:31.759 --> 00:15:37.200
shit I got to do. So, anyhow, I go home and I...

00:15:37.789 --> 00:15:40.389
And I start calling around to get a refund. And

00:15:40.389 --> 00:15:42.690
it took me about half a day. But I finally got

00:15:42.690 --> 00:15:45.009
someone that could do that. But I'm just pissed

00:15:45.009 --> 00:15:48.149
to hell at Gene Simmons. My opinion, he is the

00:15:48.149 --> 00:15:50.090
dickhead that cancels his shows because they

00:15:50.090 --> 00:15:53.090
don't sell enough tickets. My opinion also is,

00:15:53.230 --> 00:15:56.009
he is such a greedy asshole that he refuses to

00:15:56.009 --> 00:15:58.149
do anything unless he gets a certain premium

00:15:58.149 --> 00:16:03.129
for the effort. You know... And this is all my

00:16:03.129 --> 00:16:05.850
opinion. I thought by reading his interviews,

00:16:05.970 --> 00:16:08.230
he was doing the solo stuff for the love of it.

00:16:08.429 --> 00:16:10.889
I guess not. You know, he was talking about,

00:16:10.970 --> 00:16:13.429
I was looking at his Instagram, you know, and

00:16:13.429 --> 00:16:15.950
I see that he posted a bunch of new shows, right?

00:16:16.529 --> 00:16:19.990
So, anyhow, I get right on his Instagram right

00:16:19.990 --> 00:16:22.570
after he posts them. It's just dumb luck. And

00:16:22.570 --> 00:16:25.129
anyhow, I tell him about my, you know, I say,

00:16:25.190 --> 00:16:27.590
hey, thanks for dicking me over, you know. And

00:16:27.590 --> 00:16:29.710
this is what happened to me. I gave him my whole

00:16:29.710 --> 00:16:33.279
story, right? And he fucking blocks me. So anyhow,

00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:36.519
my buddy Brian Mark, he's a musician too. And

00:16:36.519 --> 00:16:40.360
anyhow, he's doing really well also. But anyhow,

00:16:40.620 --> 00:16:43.019
my buddy Brian Mark, who's a musician, he sends

00:16:43.019 --> 00:16:45.159
me a message right after laughing because he

00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:49.580
saw it happen in real time. Brian was going on,

00:16:49.799 --> 00:16:52.399
you know, he was going to go with me, but he

00:16:52.399 --> 00:16:53.860
couldn't because he couldn't get the evening

00:16:53.860 --> 00:16:55.840
off to the Gene Simmons show. And he's just going

00:16:55.840 --> 00:17:00.820
to buy a ticket there, hopefully. And anyhow,

00:17:01.000 --> 00:17:03.559
so he's laughing his ass off because he sees

00:17:03.559 --> 00:17:05.599
me fucking mouth off to him right off the bat

00:17:05.599 --> 00:17:08.400
as soon as Gene Simmons puts it down. And the

00:17:08.400 --> 00:17:10.299
next thing I know, I don't see anything from

00:17:10.299 --> 00:17:11.980
him. So he blocked me. So I'm like, all right,

00:17:11.980 --> 00:17:16.140
you little bitch. So anyhow, so Brian gave me

00:17:16.140 --> 00:17:17.859
the message right after that. And it's pretty

00:17:17.859 --> 00:17:20.940
cool. So this all came about because I just saw

00:17:20.940 --> 00:17:24.259
that Gene Simmons about two weeks ago announced

00:17:24.259 --> 00:17:28.380
a summer tour, right? A summer American tour.

00:17:29.369 --> 00:17:33.230
So, anyhow, he canceled most of the dates on

00:17:33.230 --> 00:17:36.769
it already. And only like maybe four or five

00:17:36.769 --> 00:17:41.170
dates remain. So, anyhow. Yeah, I know. That's

00:17:41.170 --> 00:17:43.529
what I'm saying, too. Fuck him. You know, go

00:17:43.529 --> 00:17:45.690
get another fucking donut, you fucking fat ass.

00:17:45.890 --> 00:17:49.190
I mean, I swear, man, he's a fucking idiot. To

00:17:49.190 --> 00:17:52.130
me, all this, you know, my opinion. Gene is a

00:17:52.130 --> 00:17:54.430
bitch. I also encourage everyone who isn't blocked

00:17:54.430 --> 00:17:57.130
on his Instagram X or whatever to please keep

00:17:57.130 --> 00:18:00.289
asking what he does to keep in great shape. That

00:18:00.289 --> 00:18:03.430
ought to do him pretty good. You know, him and

00:18:03.430 --> 00:18:07.490
his fucking ego. So, anyhow, yeah, you know,

00:18:07.490 --> 00:18:09.650
what it is is he acts like, you know, he was

00:18:09.650 --> 00:18:12.089
talking about this tour and going, oh, hey, you

00:18:12.089 --> 00:18:14.230
ought to come to this tour, man. You never know,

00:18:14.269 --> 00:18:17.009
you might. end up on stage with us. We've been

00:18:17.009 --> 00:18:19.150
known to take people up and have a little fun

00:18:19.150 --> 00:18:21.250
with them. You know, when he won't fucking talk

00:18:21.250 --> 00:18:24.710
to people, anyhow, he's always got something

00:18:24.710 --> 00:18:27.289
snide to say, the way it sounds. He's arrogant.

00:18:27.430 --> 00:18:29.690
He talks down to people. He's going to invite

00:18:29.690 --> 00:18:32.309
people on stage and let them have a little fun.

00:18:32.690 --> 00:18:35.890
No. He's trying to sell tickets, and in my opinion,

00:18:36.009 --> 00:18:38.710
he didn't sell enough tickets, and just like

00:18:38.710 --> 00:18:41.509
the shows I tried to go to, he just cancels them,

00:18:41.569 --> 00:18:44.190
and he doesn't give one ounce of shit about you.

00:18:44.559 --> 00:18:47.319
in my opinion. And anyhow, this came about, all

00:18:47.319 --> 00:18:49.720
this stuff came about because I just saw where

00:18:49.720 --> 00:18:53.400
he had like 25 shows on the bill, right? And

00:18:53.400 --> 00:18:55.920
you, anybody can look this up, see the show and

00:18:55.920 --> 00:18:58.059
then look up the summer tour that he canceled.

00:18:58.299 --> 00:19:00.640
And I mean, he only has like maybe five or six

00:19:00.640 --> 00:19:03.660
shows left on there that he didn't cancel. So

00:19:03.660 --> 00:19:06.740
anyhow, and he didn't give a reason again, which

00:19:06.740 --> 00:19:08.380
would tell me like, you know, if he was having

00:19:08.380 --> 00:19:11.039
fucking toenail surgery. he'd put it down, right?

00:19:11.119 --> 00:19:13.480
He'd go, I'm having surgery, guys. I can't do

00:19:13.480 --> 00:19:16.119
it. It's a medical thing. But instead, he gives

00:19:16.119 --> 00:19:19.059
no reason, right? So what do you think no reason

00:19:19.059 --> 00:19:22.240
is, Rob? What would you think? All that money.

00:19:22.660 --> 00:19:26.259
Yeah. Didn't sell enough. Yeah. So I think that

00:19:26.259 --> 00:19:30.640
he's... I haven't looked, but I almost bet the

00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:34.319
venues that he's still playing are bigger venues.

00:19:34.859 --> 00:19:38.759
Bingo, Rob. They are. Yeah. I'm just guessing.

00:19:39.160 --> 00:19:41.099
No, no, no. No, you're right. I looked it up.

00:19:41.640 --> 00:19:44.119
So the smaller venues, he found out that he didn't

00:19:44.119 --> 00:19:45.759
sell all the tickets. That's my opinion again.

00:19:45.799 --> 00:19:47.559
I have no proof of this. This is what I think.

00:19:47.700 --> 00:19:50.500
And he was like, oh, okay, well, fuck that. I'm

00:19:50.500 --> 00:19:52.779
not going to go play for those guys unless I

00:19:52.779 --> 00:19:55.460
get a little bit more money than that. And then

00:19:55.460 --> 00:19:58.500
they're going to play again. Did you know that?

00:20:00.519 --> 00:20:04.400
Kiss. Kiss is going to play again. At their 50th

00:20:04.400 --> 00:20:06.920
anniversary, they're going to play again. So,

00:20:06.920 --> 00:20:09.980
once again, What was that end of the road tour

00:20:09.980 --> 00:20:13.799
stuff? This is how Motley began. This is how

00:20:13.799 --> 00:20:15.799
Motley did it, too, remember? Motley Crue's like,

00:20:15.839 --> 00:20:17.900
that's it. No more. We're signing this contract.

00:20:18.079 --> 00:20:20.759
It's over. It's done. And Nicky's going on this

00:20:20.759 --> 00:20:23.180
big spiel. Well, we don't want to be one of those

00:20:23.180 --> 00:20:25.819
bands that rots on the vine. You know, you get

00:20:25.819 --> 00:20:28.000
old. You know, you're fucking ball stag. You

00:20:28.000 --> 00:20:30.220
got a belly. You know, you got a bald spot. Just

00:20:30.220 --> 00:20:32.460
don't look right rocking up there being fucking

00:20:32.460 --> 00:20:37.519
80. Okay, so. Well, we're going to do this. The

00:20:37.519 --> 00:20:41.200
next time you see us, we'll be avatars. Yes.

00:20:42.200 --> 00:20:44.579
Yeah. I guess not. I guess they're coming before

00:20:44.579 --> 00:20:48.900
the avatar, aren't they? Yeah. But Nicky's going

00:20:48.900 --> 00:20:50.920
on this big tangent about people sticking around

00:20:50.920 --> 00:20:53.680
the game too long and all that shit, right? Well,

00:20:53.859 --> 00:20:56.960
it started like this. Kiss doing a one -off show.

00:20:57.339 --> 00:20:59.519
Motley Crue started off doing a one -off show.

00:20:59.579 --> 00:21:01.579
I forgot what it was for, but they're like, yeah,

00:21:01.619 --> 00:21:04.619
yeah, we're going to do a one -off show. No tour,

00:21:04.759 --> 00:21:06.859
like we said. And next thing you know, that went

00:21:06.859 --> 00:21:09.559
over so well. Oh, we're going to do a couple

00:21:09.559 --> 00:21:13.019
of festivals. Next thing you know. Well, we're

00:21:13.019 --> 00:21:15.039
going to go ahead and have another tour. And

00:21:15.039 --> 00:21:17.920
then now, they got their hand out looking for

00:21:17.920 --> 00:21:20.099
any gig they can that's big enough to go make

00:21:20.099 --> 00:21:22.660
a pile of fucking cash. And this means that all

00:21:22.660 --> 00:21:24.279
the people that ran out there to see them the

00:21:24.279 --> 00:21:27.119
one last time, once again, when they get a big

00:21:27.119 --> 00:21:29.160
fucking middle finger right in your face saying,

00:21:29.200 --> 00:21:31.640
you guys are so fucking stupid, you're going

00:21:31.640 --> 00:21:35.480
to do it every time. And you know what? They're

00:21:35.480 --> 00:21:40.420
right. Joe fucking fan out there, he will follow

00:21:40.420 --> 00:21:42.980
these people and fucking believe them, and they

00:21:42.980 --> 00:21:46.099
know it. And anyhow, it pisses me off to no end.

00:21:46.220 --> 00:21:48.619
And this is why, remember how I was talking about

00:21:48.619 --> 00:21:50.440
how I was going to swear off all these concerts

00:21:50.440 --> 00:21:52.559
because I'm getting tired of getting fucked over

00:21:52.559 --> 00:21:55.160
and dicked around by them? Because it's an alleged

00:21:55.160 --> 00:21:58.400
concert that only happens if the circumstances

00:21:58.400 --> 00:22:01.990
are right for them, not you. So you can buy this

00:22:01.990 --> 00:22:03.509
ticket ahead of time. They can keep your money

00:22:03.509 --> 00:22:06.809
for a year. You can go and you can go rent a

00:22:06.809 --> 00:22:09.109
hotel room somewhere else because those concerts

00:22:09.109 --> 00:22:11.230
don't come by Kansas City. They go to smaller

00:22:11.230 --> 00:22:14.630
venues like in Wichita, Tulsa, Springfield, Missouri,

00:22:14.789 --> 00:22:16.990
stuff like that, right? Up here, there's too

00:22:16.990 --> 00:22:19.549
much competition. You've got T -Mobile, Uptown,

00:22:19.569 --> 00:22:22.009
all that stuff. So all those concerts go there.

00:22:22.230 --> 00:22:24.769
And then if the things aren't exactly right,

00:22:25.279 --> 00:22:27.279
They just canceled the fucking show. And then

00:22:27.279 --> 00:22:29.319
people like me that was going to travel four

00:22:29.319 --> 00:22:32.059
and a half hours to see them, and in one case,

00:22:32.079 --> 00:22:36.160
me and Davey flew to Nashville, but that show

00:22:36.160 --> 00:22:38.339
did go off, The Dead Daisies with Glenn Hughes

00:22:38.339 --> 00:22:41.339
and everybody. But that show did go off, and

00:22:41.339 --> 00:22:43.859
it was a success, except for Davey almost running

00:22:43.859 --> 00:22:46.460
to a train on his fucking scooter drunk. Other

00:22:46.460 --> 00:22:48.940
than that, it went well. Other than that, it

00:22:48.940 --> 00:22:52.700
went pretty well. But I wish I had video. But

00:22:52.700 --> 00:22:56.299
I was too afraid. I'm like, oh, fuck, man. I

00:22:56.299 --> 00:22:58.099
took my buddy down here. I took my best buddy

00:22:58.099 --> 00:23:00.119
down here. And now he's going to fucking die

00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:03.619
because he's too drunk. Somehow he stopped that

00:23:03.619 --> 00:23:07.180
scooter right before the train. But I'm getting

00:23:07.180 --> 00:23:10.799
off on something else now. I was too fucking

00:23:10.799 --> 00:23:12.599
freaked out thinking he was going to die. I was

00:23:12.599 --> 00:23:14.359
going to watch my friend get fucking ripped in

00:23:14.359 --> 00:23:17.720
half by a freight train. But I wished I would

00:23:17.720 --> 00:23:22.339
have thought enough to put some video, man. Fucking

00:23:22.339 --> 00:23:24.640
idiot. I love him. He's awesome. I'm an idiot,

00:23:24.720 --> 00:23:28.920
too. Sorry, Davey. Sorry, Davey. Davey, I'm an

00:23:28.920 --> 00:23:31.900
idiot, too. We all are. We know this. It's common

00:23:31.900 --> 00:23:38.220
knowledge. So, anyhow, that's my opening rant,

00:23:38.420 --> 00:23:42.539
I guess. So, Rob, we turn it to you after all

00:23:42.539 --> 00:23:46.539
that negativity. Please turn it around. Okay,

00:23:46.559 --> 00:23:49.259
do you remember who Minnesota Governor Tim Walz

00:23:49.259 --> 00:23:52.960
is? Yeah, yeah, he ran under Harris as the vice

00:23:52.960 --> 00:23:55.859
president. Yeah, Kamala Harris, yeah, in the

00:23:55.859 --> 00:24:03.099
last election. Yep. Well, after Minnesota Governor

00:24:03.099 --> 00:24:06.420
Tim Walz said he believes he could kick most

00:24:06.420 --> 00:24:12.619
of Trump supporters' ass, one of them has stepped

00:24:12.619 --> 00:24:15.599
up to the plate, and he is automatically the

00:24:15.599 --> 00:24:23.710
heavy favorite. WWE legend Kane stands seven

00:24:23.710 --> 00:24:27.750
feet tall and wrestled at over 300 pounds during

00:24:27.750 --> 00:24:30.869
his illustrious career and challenged Walls to

00:24:30.869 --> 00:24:34.829
a charity wrestling match. Kane, whose real name

00:24:34.829 --> 00:24:38.589
is Glenn Jacobs, now the mayor of Knox County

00:24:38.589 --> 00:24:42.230
in Tennessee, issued a challenge to Walls on

00:24:42.230 --> 00:24:46.509
Thursday. All looking aside, Governor Tim Walls,

00:24:46.799 --> 00:24:49.920
Let's put our money where our mouth is, in a

00:24:49.920 --> 00:24:52.799
charity wrestling match. We'll split the gate

00:24:52.799 --> 00:24:56.779
50 -50 between our chosen organizations. I'll

00:24:56.779 --> 00:24:59.920
kick things off myself with a $10 ,000 donation.

00:25:00.059 --> 00:25:07.160
What do you say? Oh, so how did Tim answer that?

00:25:07.880 --> 00:25:11.819
Okay, well, he hasn't answered, but this is what

00:25:11.819 --> 00:25:17.579
fired it off. Wallace, who was former Vice President

00:25:17.579 --> 00:25:20.220
Kamala Harris' running mate this past election

00:25:20.220 --> 00:25:24.680
cycle, made his bold claim on a recent episode

00:25:24.680 --> 00:25:28.740
of California Governor Gavin Newsom's podcast.

00:25:29.299 --> 00:25:33.400
I think I could kick most of their asses. I know

00:25:33.400 --> 00:25:36.200
I can outrun them. I don't know if we're going

00:25:36.200 --> 00:25:40.480
to fall into that place where we okay. We challenge

00:25:40.480 --> 00:25:51.680
you to, you know, AWWH by here. I love that.

00:25:51.940 --> 00:25:55.660
I got a question, Rob, okay? I'm not for or against

00:25:55.660 --> 00:25:57.960
or saying anything like that, but I want to know

00:25:57.960 --> 00:26:01.500
this. Okay. These people are liberals, right?

00:26:02.720 --> 00:26:04.619
Right. What are they doing going around talking

00:26:04.619 --> 00:26:11.460
violence? Exactly. Yeah. Hypocrite, maybe? I'm

00:26:11.460 --> 00:26:13.680
not saying all liberals are hypocrites or nothing

00:26:13.680 --> 00:26:16.339
like that. What I'm saying is, if you're going

00:26:16.339 --> 00:26:18.980
to go by the peaceful route and swear by it and

00:26:18.980 --> 00:26:22.299
say this, fucking stick to it. If not, shut up.

00:26:22.440 --> 00:26:24.579
You know, Tim, get to what you know in there.

00:26:24.819 --> 00:26:28.140
Don't fucking put tampons in. Anyhow, fuck him.

00:26:28.259 --> 00:26:31.039
You know what? I know you like him. Do what?

00:26:31.200 --> 00:26:37.400
It was in the news that Kane and The Undertaker

00:26:37.400 --> 00:26:40.180
both backed... Trump during the election. So

00:26:40.180 --> 00:26:42.619
why would you run your mouth like that? I'll

00:26:42.619 --> 00:26:44.740
tell you why. It's because he's trying to make

00:26:44.740 --> 00:26:46.619
a stance because he's going to try to run for

00:26:46.619 --> 00:26:48.839
president next time around. And he's puffing

00:26:48.839 --> 00:26:51.720
his little bitty fat bird chest out thinking

00:26:51.720 --> 00:26:53.960
he's fucking making some waves and all he's doing

00:26:53.960 --> 00:26:57.019
is getting ridiculed. If I heard that and I was

00:26:57.019 --> 00:27:00.059
there, I'd go and look, I'm not saying I'm a

00:27:00.059 --> 00:27:02.140
Trump fan. I'm not. I would be the first one

00:27:02.140 --> 00:27:04.480
to go, hey, come over here and take me. Come

00:27:04.480 --> 00:27:07.140
on, bitch. Come on. You can fucking preach. Let's

00:27:07.140 --> 00:27:09.920
see you do it. Exactly. And the second thing

00:27:09.920 --> 00:27:13.779
is this hypocrisy is bullshit. If you really

00:27:13.779 --> 00:27:19.960
believe what you say, you will not want to fight

00:27:19.960 --> 00:27:22.339
anybody. You're going to try to talk to them.

00:27:22.400 --> 00:27:24.480
You're going to try to hug them. You're going

00:27:24.480 --> 00:27:27.140
to try to see eye to eye with some things. You're

00:27:27.140 --> 00:27:29.019
going to try to make some common ground. You're

00:27:29.019 --> 00:27:31.880
not going to go off the fucking everything. Oh,

00:27:31.940 --> 00:27:34.019
I can beat any of their asses because everybody

00:27:34.019 --> 00:27:36.480
knows, number one, that's not true. Number two,

00:27:36.500 --> 00:27:38.400
you're just making this big grand thing that

00:27:38.400 --> 00:27:42.099
isn't there. So, you know, Tim, shut up. Anyhow.

00:27:42.440 --> 00:27:44.359
Thank you, Rob. That was a pretty good story.

00:27:44.500 --> 00:27:48.200
I like it a lot. Yeah, I like how Kane just stepped

00:27:48.200 --> 00:27:51.900
right up. Yeah, I love that. I fucking love that.

00:27:51.920 --> 00:27:54.269
Go ahead. Go ahead, let's see if you kick my

00:27:54.269 --> 00:27:57.809
ass. Hey, hey, Tim, Mr. Waltz, go get him. Kane

00:27:57.809 --> 00:28:01.269
is right there. I want to see you. I want to

00:28:01.269 --> 00:28:03.369
see you do this. If not, I don't ever want to

00:28:03.369 --> 00:28:07.130
hear from you again. You fucking do it, and you

00:28:07.130 --> 00:28:10.109
do what you said. Otherwise, you are a liar.

00:28:11.130 --> 00:28:16.190
Liar! So, all right, I'm amped up tonight. All

00:28:16.190 --> 00:28:19.589
right. I can tell. Yeah, well, you know, I was

00:28:19.589 --> 00:28:22.359
reading some stuff. And look, I'm not patting

00:28:22.359 --> 00:28:25.440
myself on the back, but I'm saying this. All

00:28:25.440 --> 00:28:28.559
right, you and I both decided, right, that this

00:28:28.559 --> 00:28:31.900
type of stuff is what we want to do because there's

00:28:31.900 --> 00:28:35.859
a need for it, right? Right. Okay. Well, I was

00:28:35.859 --> 00:28:37.859
reading Mancow's Instagram, and he's talking

00:28:37.859 --> 00:28:40.180
about bringing back The Madhouse, the show that

00:28:40.180 --> 00:28:42.680
would be more like this, not the political stuff.

00:28:43.799 --> 00:28:46.099
He's getting with some of his old crew, and he's

00:28:46.099 --> 00:28:49.859
going to discuss it in August. I think we were

00:28:49.859 --> 00:28:52.039
ahead of the grid. I think we were ahead of everything

00:28:52.039 --> 00:28:55.180
again because I seen it coming. And I thought

00:28:55.180 --> 00:28:58.660
this always would be what would be in style because

00:28:58.660 --> 00:29:02.099
both sides are fucking fighting each other and

00:29:02.099 --> 00:29:04.259
everyone's getting tired of hearing it. At some

00:29:04.259 --> 00:29:07.819
point you want a dick joke. You want stupidity.

00:29:07.819 --> 00:29:11.940
That was it. That was a political comical joke.

00:29:12.400 --> 00:29:15.940
Yeah. Yeah, and here's the deal. I hope he brings

00:29:15.940 --> 00:29:18.579
Madhouse back, man. I think the more, the better

00:29:18.579 --> 00:29:21.660
off we are. And, yeah, he's going to make us

00:29:21.660 --> 00:29:24.920
look like amateurs. Well, I guess we are, aren't

00:29:24.920 --> 00:29:29.960
we? Yeah. He's been in the business of it all.

00:29:30.079 --> 00:29:31.700
And he's been doing it a long time, and he's

00:29:31.700 --> 00:29:35.779
fucking brilliant. So, all right, let's take

00:29:35.779 --> 00:29:39.880
a break. And I've got some emails again. All

00:29:39.880 --> 00:29:43.559
right. And some good ones again. Oh, shit. I

00:29:43.559 --> 00:29:46.059
did not get my top seven guitarists. Did you?

00:29:47.900 --> 00:29:51.500
I did. We can hold off till Tuesday. Let's hold

00:29:51.500 --> 00:29:54.019
off till Tuesday. Fuck. Okay. All right. I'll

00:29:54.019 --> 00:29:56.160
be right back. We'll be right back. Yeah, sorry,

00:29:56.299 --> 00:29:59.960
Ronnie. I did it. I dropped the ball. Be right

00:29:59.960 --> 00:30:07.799
back. Jam X. What the hell happened? You were

00:30:07.799 --> 00:30:13.569
the generation of change. You never wanted to

00:30:13.569 --> 00:30:19.130
be one of them. Apathy spoke for you. Muck the

00:30:19.130 --> 00:30:23.549
man. Muck the system. What the hell happened?

00:30:24.230 --> 00:30:28.390
The generation of angst? The generation of noncompliance?

00:30:29.450 --> 00:30:33.509
Is now buying a boat? You're really fed up to

00:30:33.509 --> 00:30:36.990
kill someone who dangled a dollar near you? Great

00:30:36.990 --> 00:30:43.089
job, Xers. Everything's ruined. Hey, you pilgrims.

00:30:43.109 --> 00:30:45.569
This is Mark from Two Douchebags and Microphone.

00:30:46.009 --> 00:30:48.329
And this is the Two Douchebags and Microphone

00:30:48.329 --> 00:30:51.349
thought of the day. Hey, good kid. No one gives

00:30:51.349 --> 00:30:53.230
an ounce of shit what you had for breakfast.

00:30:53.430 --> 00:30:56.089
Not even the person on the other end. You look

00:30:56.089 --> 00:30:58.690
like a mentally slow driv yelling into thin air

00:30:58.690 --> 00:31:00.750
all through the store. I pray that Bluetooth

00:31:00.750 --> 00:31:03.609
shorts you out and blows up your eardrums. What

00:31:03.609 --> 00:31:06.690
men consider self -centered dunce. Monty constantly

00:31:06.690 --> 00:31:09.349
coddled this dummy and it fucking shows. Go look

00:31:09.349 --> 00:31:11.740
back home and bore your dog. Wait, you probably

00:31:11.740 --> 00:31:13.799
forgot the theming because you're too busy looking

00:31:13.799 --> 00:31:17.500
in the mirror all day. Fuck off. Hey, everybody,

00:31:17.740 --> 00:31:20.579
this is Uncle Rob. I'm going to give you some

00:31:20.579 --> 00:31:25.980
tips for life. This is Uncle Rob's rules to dick

00:31:25.980 --> 00:31:31.000
pics. Rule number one, title of a pic in someone

00:31:31.000 --> 00:31:34.839
else's name. So if you get busted, it's not yours.

00:31:36.059 --> 00:31:40.480
Rule number two, shoot angles complimentary to

00:31:40.480 --> 00:31:44.309
your... Your length and girth. Rule number four.

00:31:45.410 --> 00:31:53.470
No propping of the leg. Absolutely no undercarriage.

00:31:53.549 --> 00:31:58.809
Very important. Everybody knows Mark is a fucking

00:31:58.809 --> 00:32:01.250
idiot. But Mark would like to take this moment

00:32:01.250 --> 00:32:03.950
to remind you. You're listening to this fucking

00:32:03.950 --> 00:32:12.960
idiot. And now, Deep Thoughts with Mark. If I

00:32:12.960 --> 00:32:16.539
were floating in outer space, if I was to paddle

00:32:16.539 --> 00:32:22.700
my arms and legs, would I float faster? I may

00:32:22.700 --> 00:32:30.000
never know. Your mom is so old, she walked out

00:32:30.000 --> 00:32:33.980
of the museum and the alarm went off. You watched

00:32:33.980 --> 00:32:38.210
the news. It looks grim. Is an apocalypse inevitable?

00:32:38.710 --> 00:32:41.769
We suggest you download all our podcasts beforehand

00:32:41.769 --> 00:32:46.309
and have multiple mobile chargers. We have the

00:32:46.309 --> 00:32:52.890
Post Apocalypse. Okay, so you have your bunker

00:32:52.890 --> 00:32:56.529
set. And what do you do inside this bunker to

00:32:56.529 --> 00:32:59.730
give you the readiness if an apocalypse occurs?

00:33:00.390 --> 00:33:03.029
Here are some products you will probably use.

00:33:04.329 --> 00:33:08.420
Zip ties. duct tape, fishing line, a needle and

00:33:08.420 --> 00:33:11.599
thread, matches or a lighter, scissors, safety

00:33:11.599 --> 00:33:14.819
pins, super glue, bungee cords, parachute cord,

00:33:15.019 --> 00:33:17.900
sugar, salt, pepper, garlic, and chicken and

00:33:17.900 --> 00:33:21.000
beef bouillon cubes, Krusty's instant pancake

00:33:21.000 --> 00:33:24.259
mix, Jiffy muffin mix, or Bisquick, or all the

00:33:24.259 --> 00:33:27.039
above, powdered milk, cocoa, instant coffee,

00:33:27.180 --> 00:33:30.700
or other dry beverage mixes, canned meats like

00:33:30.700 --> 00:33:33.579
tuna, chicken, salmon, and sardines, canned and

00:33:33.579 --> 00:33:36.339
dry soup, like Lipton and Knorr noodle packages,

00:33:36.680 --> 00:33:39.640
nuts, peanut butter, jelly or honey, breakfast

00:33:39.640 --> 00:33:43.920
bars, cereals, packaged oatmeal, low -salt crackers,

00:33:44.400 --> 00:33:47.359
Ritz crackers, graham crackers, or animal cookies.

00:33:47.519 --> 00:33:50.059
Canned and dry vegetable and fruit, and this

00:33:50.059 --> 00:33:57.460
should get you started. Strange, but true. In

00:33:57.460 --> 00:34:02.240
April 2024, 87 -year -old Joan Behan with Brooklyn.

00:34:02.650 --> 00:34:05.029
was tragically run over by her own car after

00:34:05.029 --> 00:34:07.329
playing in it for 20 minutes in her driveway.

00:34:07.869 --> 00:34:10.150
Having just returned from a two -hour workout,

00:34:10.389 --> 00:34:13.610
she stepped over with a 2013 Toyota Corolla,

00:34:13.730 --> 00:34:16.929
but as she walked behind the car, it rolled backwards

00:34:16.929 --> 00:34:20.010
because she hadn't put it in part. Hey there,

00:34:20.070 --> 00:34:22.750
fuckstick. You're just in time for brand new

00:34:22.750 --> 00:34:26.429
feature news nobody gives a shit about. New research

00:34:26.429 --> 00:34:30.650
indicates that you can swim right after eating.

00:34:33.160 --> 00:34:37.639
Next up, things overheard in hell. It moves everybody.

00:34:37.960 --> 00:34:41.280
Candy corn has had a bumper crop. Everybody can

00:34:41.280 --> 00:34:55.719
have as much as they want. Yay! I'm Mark on the

00:34:55.719 --> 00:34:59.699
Kansas City end. And I'm Rob at beautiful Lake

00:34:59.699 --> 00:35:01.690
of the Ozarks. That's right. It is beautiful.

00:35:01.929 --> 00:35:07.289
The Niagara River Arm, correct? Yes. Yep. All

00:35:07.289 --> 00:35:11.110
right. We have emails, Rob, and guess what? They're

00:35:11.110 --> 00:35:16.610
great. Like always. I know. I wish we was half

00:35:16.610 --> 00:35:21.389
as good as our emailers. So, all right. First

00:35:21.389 --> 00:35:24.409
one. Mark, you cannot be a fan of Opie and Anthony.

00:35:24.829 --> 00:35:27.750
You can't be a fan of Bob and Tom or Man Cow

00:35:27.750 --> 00:35:29.989
or Johnny Dare. You have to pick one of them

00:35:29.989 --> 00:35:32.469
and scream how the others suck and how they all

00:35:32.469 --> 00:35:34.989
copied your guy. Get with it, dude. You know

00:35:34.989 --> 00:35:38.329
the rules. P .S. Also got a chance to listen

00:35:38.329 --> 00:35:40.710
to Bubba Clem, Bubba the Love Sponge. I had no

00:35:40.710 --> 00:35:43.150
idea he was still doing a show. I agree with

00:35:43.150 --> 00:35:45.289
you. It's not close to the same show, but it's

00:35:45.289 --> 00:35:49.110
still pretty good. John in South Carolina. John,

00:35:49.590 --> 00:35:52.070
I love that. I love that you bothered to put

00:35:52.070 --> 00:35:56.219
this down. because all the shows were younger

00:35:56.219 --> 00:35:59.860
guy humor, right? And that wasn't invented in

00:35:59.860 --> 00:36:02.739
the 90s. But if you listen to every show individually,

00:36:03.039 --> 00:36:04.780
well, Johnny Deere didn't really do it that much.

00:36:04.800 --> 00:36:09.400
He stayed away from the war thing. But every

00:36:09.400 --> 00:36:11.280
one of them were pointing the finger going, that

00:36:11.280 --> 00:36:13.280
guy ripped me off, that guy ripped me off, that

00:36:13.280 --> 00:36:15.300
guy ripped me off. Well, all those shows were

00:36:15.300 --> 00:36:17.760
different. You know, they had their own envision

00:36:17.760 --> 00:36:21.099
of what that was, and they did it. And they were

00:36:21.099 --> 00:36:23.280
all good. I mean, I like some of them better

00:36:23.280 --> 00:36:26.400
than others. But the thing is, is it was a spiel.

00:36:26.500 --> 00:36:30.059
And this is what John in South Carolina is pointing

00:36:30.059 --> 00:36:32.639
out. And I remember that very well because every

00:36:32.639 --> 00:36:34.400
one of them said the other guy sucked, right?

00:36:34.500 --> 00:36:37.139
And how bad they were. And they were a hack.

00:36:37.340 --> 00:36:39.559
And they were on their coattails. You know, that

00:36:39.559 --> 00:36:41.199
was the going thing. That's what you did. And

00:36:41.199 --> 00:36:43.760
that came from Stern. Stern started that first.

00:36:44.000 --> 00:36:47.099
He started ridiculing his opponents and making

00:36:47.099 --> 00:36:52.380
fun of them and all that stuff. And so all that

00:36:52.380 --> 00:36:56.199
stemmed from that. And so, John in South Carolina,

00:36:56.360 --> 00:36:59.420
thank you. That was a great email. All right.

00:37:00.480 --> 00:37:03.980
Mark and Rob, I also picked the walrus. It might

00:37:03.980 --> 00:37:06.739
be weird, but it probably will let me live. That's

00:37:06.739 --> 00:37:09.360
pretty much what we thought, wasn't it? Yeah.

00:37:09.760 --> 00:37:12.099
Yeah, you might be weirded out because there's

00:37:12.099 --> 00:37:14.500
an awkward walrus right next to you in a 5x5

00:37:14.500 --> 00:37:18.059
meter cubicle, but he probably won't kill you.

00:37:18.629 --> 00:37:23.389
Like the cobras. Yeah. And not a bunch of cockroaches

00:37:23.389 --> 00:37:27.050
calling up and down you. So, all right. If he's

00:37:27.050 --> 00:37:28.949
grumpy, you just leave him alone. He'll leave

00:37:28.949 --> 00:37:30.630
you alone. Yeah, yeah. You just look the other

00:37:30.630 --> 00:37:33.929
way, man. And I would think it couldn't last

00:37:33.929 --> 00:37:35.849
too long. I mean, how long could they keep you

00:37:35.849 --> 00:37:39.369
in that cubicle? You know, so. All right. All

00:37:39.369 --> 00:37:44.530
right. He said, I would both. He said, I would

00:37:44.530 --> 00:37:46.829
like to know both of your favorite guitarists.

00:37:46.849 --> 00:37:49.429
Not the most talented, just your personal favorites

00:37:49.429 --> 00:37:52.590
of all time. Top seven, please. Ronnie and Tulsa.

00:37:53.030 --> 00:37:56.489
Tulsa King. Back at you, but we'll answer Tuesday

00:37:56.489 --> 00:37:58.929
because I dropped the ball, like I said. Sorry.

00:38:01.289 --> 00:38:04.429
Actually, we had a lot of emails going on, and

00:38:04.429 --> 00:38:07.530
it was a lot of them that I had to answer because

00:38:07.530 --> 00:38:10.699
of different questions. And anyhow, I've been

00:38:10.699 --> 00:38:13.119
pretty busy with this. And also I have a couple

00:38:13.119 --> 00:38:16.860
of new parody bits that we're going to demo on

00:38:16.860 --> 00:38:20.559
the show and rate. Does that sound good? Sounds

00:38:20.559 --> 00:38:26.019
good. We'll see how well this sounds on the podcast

00:38:26.019 --> 00:38:28.320
is going to determine whether we do this regularly

00:38:28.320 --> 00:38:32.300
or not. This is an experiment. But I've been

00:38:32.300 --> 00:38:34.320
busy with these new parody bits that I've been

00:38:34.320 --> 00:38:37.710
anxious to do. Val had to go watch one of the

00:38:37.710 --> 00:38:40.769
grandkids a couple of nights. Oh, no, the goats

00:38:40.769 --> 00:38:43.909
were the first night. We own a goat now. The

00:38:43.909 --> 00:38:46.670
goats were the first night. You know, I'll get

00:38:46.670 --> 00:38:49.349
in that next podcast. So, yeah, we're the proud

00:38:49.349 --> 00:38:51.409
owners. I can't wait to hear that one. We're

00:38:51.409 --> 00:38:55.369
the proud owners of a blue -eyed goat. So, his

00:38:55.369 --> 00:39:00.429
name is Nugget, and he's a pretty neat little

00:39:00.429 --> 00:39:04.739
guy. Okay, so, and then the next one she had

00:39:04.739 --> 00:39:06.820
to watch Grandkids, so I had some time to do

00:39:06.820 --> 00:39:10.119
this. So, anyhow, but doing these parody bits

00:39:10.119 --> 00:39:12.320
take a lot of time because it's a lot of editing

00:39:12.320 --> 00:39:14.699
and I have primitive equipment, so it took a

00:39:14.699 --> 00:39:17.179
lot of time. So I didn't get to Ronnie's stuff,

00:39:17.260 --> 00:39:21.739
but I will Tuesday. All right. Hey, did y 'all

00:39:21.739 --> 00:39:24.500
know I just saw you on the front page in the

00:39:24.500 --> 00:39:27.780
featured section on the iHeart podcast? Congratulations.

00:39:28.679 --> 00:39:31.400
Joni and St. Cloud. We were on it. I saw it.

00:39:31.460 --> 00:39:33.360
I don't know if we still are. I hope so. Yes.

00:39:34.000 --> 00:39:37.579
First page. I didn't see it. Yeah. First page.

00:39:37.639 --> 00:39:40.619
We're right there. And I caught this email not

00:39:40.619 --> 00:39:43.400
too far after when it came through. And I went

00:39:43.400 --> 00:39:45.300
there, and we're still on there. And then we

00:39:45.300 --> 00:39:48.039
got another person saying it, too. So it had

00:39:48.039 --> 00:39:50.699
to have done some good. A couple people emailing.

00:39:50.739 --> 00:39:56.539
A lot of people seeing it then. Okay. Will you

00:39:56.539 --> 00:39:59.039
ask Tightwad if they have a skid loader? I could

00:39:59.039 --> 00:40:01.400
use for a couple of days. Thanks in advance.

00:40:01.500 --> 00:40:09.280
Mitch in Knoblick. Well, Rob, this is Mitch.

00:40:09.860 --> 00:40:13.280
Mitch just jumped a ways there. Yeah, let's see.

00:40:13.380 --> 00:40:16.320
He is Cass County. Then he was Henry County.

00:40:17.179 --> 00:40:20.099
Now he's wherever the hell Knoblick is. County.

00:40:22.440 --> 00:40:25.300
Mitch, you are a traveler of the world, man.

00:40:26.139 --> 00:40:29.679
Yeah, you are. Well, do you think that Tightwad

00:40:29.679 --> 00:40:31.539
would have a skid loader? They'd loan him for,

00:40:31.659 --> 00:40:33.780
you know, they get along with Knob Lick. They

00:40:33.780 --> 00:40:35.659
didn't get along with Montrose, but they get

00:40:35.659 --> 00:40:37.880
along with Knob Lick. Right. I'll have to ask.

00:40:38.059 --> 00:40:41.039
I'll have to ask. Okay. Mitch, Rob will get back

00:40:41.039 --> 00:40:45.800
with you. So, fucking asshole. I love him. The

00:40:45.800 --> 00:40:49.239
more he writes in, the more I like him. Yeah.

00:40:50.219 --> 00:40:52.400
All right. The next one. The podcast is going

00:40:52.400 --> 00:40:55.960
off in different directions, but I do enjoy it.

00:40:56.230 --> 00:40:58.610
Please keep doing different ideas. It keeps the

00:40:58.610 --> 00:41:02.590
podcast entertaining. Lewis in Sarasota, Florida,

00:41:02.690 --> 00:41:06.730
I'm pretty sure. I agree. I like some of the

00:41:06.730 --> 00:41:08.849
new stuff that we're doing. I think we're getting

00:41:08.849 --> 00:41:11.010
more fluid, and we have a better idea of where

00:41:11.010 --> 00:41:12.829
we want to go with this, and I think it's starting

00:41:12.829 --> 00:41:15.480
to come more natural. We're not like... you know,

00:41:15.480 --> 00:41:17.539
scratching for traction. We're kind of like just

00:41:17.539 --> 00:41:20.260
doing it. I mean, your, your stuff is getting

00:41:20.260 --> 00:41:22.599
more entertaining and fluid and so is mine. And

00:41:22.599 --> 00:41:24.159
I mean, it's actually, it's coming together.

00:41:24.420 --> 00:41:27.360
The last few podcasts I listened to, they hold

00:41:27.360 --> 00:41:30.820
up to about anything. I think it's good. So,

00:41:30.860 --> 00:41:33.659
and then another one I heard had you in the spotlight

00:41:33.659 --> 00:41:36.059
front page. Good job, Vicki Hartford. And I don't

00:41:36.059 --> 00:41:37.679
know if that's Vicki and Hartford, Connecticut

00:41:37.679 --> 00:41:43.639
or Vicki Hartford is her name. So anyhow. It

00:41:43.639 --> 00:41:47.179
could be a different Hartford. Yeah, that's true.

00:41:47.340 --> 00:41:49.179
The only Hartford I knew of was Connecticut.

00:41:50.159 --> 00:41:52.000
Yeah, that's the first one that comes to mind.

00:41:53.159 --> 00:41:56.559
Okay. Rob, I have a featured email, but why don't

00:41:56.559 --> 00:41:58.760
you do, because I'm getting a little bit long

00:41:58.760 --> 00:42:02.380
here, why don't you do a story, and then I'm

00:42:02.380 --> 00:42:04.559
going to go back to the featured email. Does

00:42:04.559 --> 00:42:07.820
that sound all right? All right. Sounds good.

00:42:07.960 --> 00:42:13.400
All right. A Walgreens employee is behind bars

00:42:13.400 --> 00:42:17.059
on assault with a deadly weapon charges in San

00:42:17.059 --> 00:42:20.199
Francisco after he was accused of stabbing a

00:42:20.199 --> 00:42:25.599
would -be shoplifter in the eye. In the early

00:42:25.599 --> 00:42:29.099
hours on Wednesday, police in San Francisco say

00:42:29.099 --> 00:42:34.199
that Larry Whitlock, 30, left the drugstore along

00:42:34.199 --> 00:42:38.900
Castro Way without paying for his goods. Surveillance

00:42:38.900 --> 00:42:43.860
video... Shows the worker named, I'm just going

00:42:43.860 --> 00:42:49.500
to say Hong. It's an Oriental name. 45 chasing

00:42:49.500 --> 00:42:54.039
him onto the street to exchange words during

00:42:54.039 --> 00:42:59.579
a standoff. Hong goes back into the store while

00:42:59.579 --> 00:43:03.280
Whitlock remains outside. Minutes later, Hong

00:43:03.280 --> 00:43:08.980
returns to pair exchange words again. Whitlock.

00:43:09.280 --> 00:43:13.239
lunges at Hong, and the staffer throws his arms

00:43:13.239 --> 00:43:17.059
at the wretched thief, causing him to fall to

00:43:17.059 --> 00:43:20.219
the ground holding his face. Hong appears to

00:43:20.219 --> 00:43:23.400
kick Whitlock before going back inside the store.

00:43:24.139 --> 00:43:28.059
In the video, Hong can be seen wearing a blue

00:43:28.059 --> 00:43:35.000
Walgreens smock. Whitlock remains in the area,

00:43:35.019 --> 00:43:38.659
and Hong once again comes outside. The two walked

00:43:38.659 --> 00:43:41.539
out of the frame. It was around 20 minutes after

00:43:41.539 --> 00:43:45.119
the original altercation when police were called

00:43:45.119 --> 00:43:47.719
to the scene after receiving a report about a

00:43:47.719 --> 00:43:51.719
stabbing. That particular story is over 24 hours

00:43:51.719 --> 00:43:56.519
and the only one of its kind in the city. A home

00:43:56.519 --> 00:43:59.260
was taken into custody and Whitlock was brought

00:43:59.260 --> 00:44:02.860
to a nearby hospital before being charged with

00:44:02.860 --> 00:44:06.139
battery and petty theft. His injuries have been

00:44:06.139 --> 00:44:12.139
described as non -life threatening. Let's see

00:44:12.139 --> 00:44:16.820
here. Hong, if found guilty on charges of assault

00:44:16.820 --> 00:44:20.019
with a deadly weapon, can face up to four years

00:44:20.019 --> 00:44:25.079
in prison and a fine of $10 ,000, whereas Whitlock

00:44:25.079 --> 00:44:28.599
can face up to six months in prison and a fine

00:44:28.599 --> 00:44:38.550
of $3 ,000. Wow. Oh, hey, Rob, real quick. I

00:44:38.550 --> 00:44:41.090
like that story. Thank you. I've got an idea.

00:44:41.650 --> 00:44:44.230
Whenever you or I can't pronounce a word, let's

00:44:44.230 --> 00:44:48.750
just simply call it babblesnatch. Okay, babblesnatch.

00:44:48.929 --> 00:44:51.789
Babblesnatch. So it'll be like a code word that

00:44:51.789 --> 00:44:53.570
certain people know that listen to this show.

00:44:53.949 --> 00:44:57.730
So if you can't pronounce it. Actually, home

00:44:57.730 --> 00:45:01.989
is his last name. Oh, it is? Okay. Yeah, and

00:45:01.989 --> 00:45:05.280
it only instead is. first name at one time and

00:45:05.280 --> 00:45:08.179
then the rest of the story is called okay that's

00:45:08.179 --> 00:45:10.239
not what i'm talking about uh you know there's

00:45:10.239 --> 00:45:13.739
words that you and i uh next time we can't say

00:45:13.739 --> 00:45:18.000
them just say babble yeah and you know people

00:45:18.000 --> 00:45:20.739
that know know if you know you know and if you

00:45:20.739 --> 00:45:23.079
know you're like what and that's good enough

00:45:23.079 --> 00:45:29.739
so um all right um well i've got this featured

00:45:29.739 --> 00:45:31.719
email and thank you rob that was a good story

00:45:33.900 --> 00:45:36.920
Mark, you are the admitted producer and the one

00:45:36.920 --> 00:45:39.780
constant on this podcast. I know you claim to

00:45:39.780 --> 00:45:42.059
be a primitive, barely produced tribute to the

00:45:42.059 --> 00:45:45.219
old style of shock radio. I would love to know.

00:45:45.739 --> 00:45:48.840
If you did have those capabilities, let's say

00:45:48.840 --> 00:45:51.260
a huge FM station called you up and said, Hey,

00:45:51.300 --> 00:45:53.320
we would love to speak to you about doing the

00:45:53.320 --> 00:45:55.500
morning drive. And it'd have to be with Rob.

00:45:56.400 --> 00:46:00.260
What would you do differently than now? I'm talking

00:46:00.260 --> 00:46:03.929
idea -wise and content. I have more at the bottom

00:46:03.929 --> 00:46:06.289
of the page, but please answer this before you

00:46:06.289 --> 00:46:09.170
read it. I love this. This is a brilliant email.

00:46:10.269 --> 00:46:13.389
I don't think we'd do very much different to

00:46:13.389 --> 00:46:17.570
you. We couldn't cuss as much. Like right now,

00:46:17.570 --> 00:46:21.130
we can say fuck and all that stuff, but we couldn't

00:46:21.130 --> 00:46:25.190
like if it was regular terrestrial radio. It

00:46:25.190 --> 00:46:27.269
would sound better because it'd be better produced,

00:46:27.530 --> 00:46:32.010
right? I don't think we do that much differently,

00:46:32.150 --> 00:46:36.329
do you? Because I would not want, I've never

00:46:36.329 --> 00:46:42.389
thought, I don't like guests. I never have. I

00:46:42.389 --> 00:46:45.449
always wanted to just hear the funny, and I didn't

00:46:45.449 --> 00:46:47.789
like guests. So I couldn't see, even if we were

00:46:47.789 --> 00:46:49.989
on that type of format, us getting a bunch of

00:46:49.989 --> 00:46:55.250
guests, do you? Not really. Yeah. Maybe once

00:46:55.250 --> 00:47:00.030
in a while. Yeah, yeah. So, yeah, the answer

00:47:00.030 --> 00:47:02.170
is, and I did not read the bottom of this on

00:47:02.170 --> 00:47:05.309
purpose, because I don't know what he or she

00:47:05.309 --> 00:47:09.010
said. Okay. No, I don't think there's that much

00:47:09.010 --> 00:47:11.929
we would do different. I think what we got here

00:47:11.929 --> 00:47:13.809
is what we got, and I think we're pretty happy

00:47:13.809 --> 00:47:17.989
with it. Am I speaking right, Rob? Yeah, yeah.

00:47:18.090 --> 00:47:19.829
Like you said, the only thing that would change

00:47:19.829 --> 00:47:22.869
is we wouldn't be able to cuss. Yeah, and it'd

00:47:22.869 --> 00:47:25.510
be a little bit better quality, of course. Yeah,

00:47:25.510 --> 00:47:29.920
yeah. Yeah, okay. There's not that much... Actually,

00:47:30.139 --> 00:47:37.739
I'd be wider awake. Yes. So, yeah, okay. So,

00:47:37.880 --> 00:47:40.380
hang on. Let me get a... I put them on two different

00:47:40.380 --> 00:47:45.360
pieces of paper on purpose. Okay. Okay. Here's

00:47:45.360 --> 00:47:49.239
what he or she wrote after that. I'm betting

00:47:49.239 --> 00:47:51.099
you would do something pretty close to what you

00:47:51.099 --> 00:47:56.340
are doing currently. Was I right? Yeah. They

00:47:56.340 --> 00:48:00.119
were right, weren't they? Yeah, they were. If

00:48:00.119 --> 00:48:05.820
I was you, or no, no, no. If I was, if I was

00:48:05.820 --> 00:48:10.119
right, then you'd prove my point. You do a very

00:48:10.119 --> 00:48:12.820
entertaining show currently. I really don't know

00:48:12.820 --> 00:48:14.780
what else you could change to make it that much

00:48:14.780 --> 00:48:17.519
better. I think you hit the nail on the head.

00:48:18.500 --> 00:48:22.059
Ross and Roosevelt Heights. I think Ross is a

00:48:22.059 --> 00:48:23.940
guy's name, right? It can be a chick's name too,

00:48:24.000 --> 00:48:27.630
can't it? Yeah, I bet my guess would be a guy.

00:48:27.730 --> 00:48:31.550
Probably a guy. I don't know where Roosevelt

00:48:31.550 --> 00:48:36.250
Heights is, do you? Give me just a second. Okay.

00:48:37.210 --> 00:48:41.969
Ross. I was getting more tea. Ross, thank you.

00:48:42.429 --> 00:48:46.090
That was great. You know, all the times that

00:48:46.090 --> 00:48:48.010
we think we do this and do that, we probably

00:48:48.010 --> 00:48:49.469
wouldn't. We'd probably stick to what we're doing,

00:48:49.550 --> 00:48:53.909
wouldn't we? Oh, yeah, definitely. Yeah. All

00:48:53.909 --> 00:48:55.949
right, you know, we like to make fun of ourselves

00:48:55.949 --> 00:48:57.909
and stuff like that. That's part of the gig,

00:48:58.030 --> 00:49:01.369
you know. Make fun of yourself. That way, when

00:49:01.369 --> 00:49:03.050
someone else does, you look at them and go, no

00:49:03.050 --> 00:49:07.909
shit. But, yeah, thank you, Ross. I liked that

00:49:07.909 --> 00:49:11.710
email considerably. It was great. Did you see

00:49:11.710 --> 00:49:24.440
where Roosevelt Heights is? San Antonio and Chicago.

00:49:26.519 --> 00:49:29.559
My guess is it's going to be up around Chicago.

00:49:32.039 --> 00:49:34.420
Actually, you know what? I think it might be,

00:49:34.500 --> 00:49:37.760
actually. Yeah, you know what? I used to do quite

00:49:37.760 --> 00:49:42.179
a bit of work. I think it's on the northwestern

00:49:42.179 --> 00:49:46.559
side, possibly. You know what? Anyhow, wherever

00:49:46.559 --> 00:49:48.760
you are, Ross, thank you very much. Appreciate

00:49:48.760 --> 00:49:52.980
that. San Antonio's never represented it very

00:49:52.980 --> 00:49:57.679
well on RSS. Chicago's, they've represented pretty

00:49:57.679 --> 00:50:00.639
well. So my guess is it's probably Roosevelt

00:50:00.639 --> 00:50:02.380
Heights, but if you want to write back, Ross,

00:50:02.420 --> 00:50:04.579
and let us know where that's at, we'd appreciate

00:50:04.579 --> 00:50:08.280
it. Yeah. All right, thank you. Let's take our

00:50:08.280 --> 00:50:12.599
second break, and then we'll go into one of your

00:50:12.599 --> 00:50:14.239
stories. Then we're going to rate a couple of

00:50:14.239 --> 00:50:16.239
parodies that I did, a couple of parody bits.

00:50:16.360 --> 00:50:20.900
Does that sound good? Sounds good. Two douchebags

00:50:20.900 --> 00:50:24.039
and a microphone as entertaining as a botulism

00:50:24.039 --> 00:50:28.300
burp. Now it's time for pickup lines from a loser.

00:50:28.480 --> 00:50:32.059
You're pretty and I'm cute. Together we could

00:50:32.059 --> 00:50:39.300
be pretty cute. Tomorrow morning while grinding

00:50:39.300 --> 00:50:41.500
your coffee beans for your double mocha latte,

00:50:41.780 --> 00:50:44.460
remember to not get your genitals caught in the

00:50:44.460 --> 00:50:48.139
grinder. It really hurts. Who can afford plastic

00:50:48.139 --> 00:50:53.199
surgery? Stay safe, everyone. Have you ever wondered

00:50:53.199 --> 00:50:55.420
what something came about? Have you ever looked

00:50:55.420 --> 00:50:57.300
at something and said, hmm, I wonder what the

00:50:57.300 --> 00:51:00.980
origin of that is? Well, so have we. That's why

00:51:00.980 --> 00:51:07.059
we give you The Origin of. The Origin of the

00:51:07.059 --> 00:51:09.659
Goatee. The Goatee is a beard style that dates

00:51:09.659 --> 00:51:12.380
back to ancient Greece and Rome and is named

00:51:12.380 --> 00:51:16.300
for its resemblance to a goat's beard. The goatee

00:51:16.300 --> 00:51:18.460
has been worn by many famous men throughout history,

00:51:18.579 --> 00:51:22.179
including Uncle Sam, Henry M. Hoyt, and Mr. Spock.

00:51:22.460 --> 00:51:25.039
The gobham was often depicted with a goatee,

00:51:25.039 --> 00:51:27.679
and in medieval and renaissance art, Satan was

00:51:27.679 --> 00:51:30.539
depicted with a goatee as well. The goatee became

00:51:30.539 --> 00:51:34.119
popular again in the 1940s as a defining trait

00:51:34.119 --> 00:51:37.369
of the beatniks and jazz musicians. It fell out

00:51:37.369 --> 00:51:40.210
of favor again in the 1960s, but became fashionable

00:51:40.210 --> 00:51:43.809
again in the 1990s and 2000s. The term goatee

00:51:43.809 --> 00:51:47.010
originated in the late 20th century. It was originally

00:51:47.010 --> 00:51:52.190
called a goatee. The apocalypse just happened.

00:51:52.750 --> 00:51:55.449
You don't know what to do. You don't know where

00:51:55.449 --> 00:51:58.309
to go. But we can tell you what you can eat.

00:52:00.829 --> 00:52:03.349
Dandelion can be stewed with wild mustard and

00:52:03.349 --> 00:52:07.039
wild garlic for a very tasty stew. You could

00:52:07.039 --> 00:52:09.260
even introduce our old friend the hickory nut

00:52:09.260 --> 00:52:13.940
for a bit of smoky flavor. Hey there, fuckstick.

00:52:14.440 --> 00:52:16.719
You're just in time for brand new feature news

00:52:16.719 --> 00:52:20.300
nobody gives a shit about. Every Model T that

00:52:20.300 --> 00:52:23.159
was ever manufactured was in the color black.

00:52:25.420 --> 00:52:31.000
Hi all, this is Chicago. I am the most dangerous

00:52:31.000 --> 00:52:38.230
city in North America. You can't touch me. Oh,

00:52:38.269 --> 00:52:40.369
yeah, this is Kansas City here. Hold my beer,

00:52:40.389 --> 00:52:43.449
bitch. Now, from this underground bunker in Camden,

00:52:43.489 --> 00:52:46.409
Missouri, stocked full of dried goods, canned

00:52:46.409 --> 00:52:50.349
food, and a couple of vibrating toys, is Ramblings

00:52:50.349 --> 00:52:55.329
of a Madman, featuring Rob Rad. My mechanic told

00:52:55.329 --> 00:52:59.590
me I couldn't repair your brakes. So I made you

00:52:59.590 --> 00:53:05.179
a horn ladder. Good job. All aware of the Amber

00:53:05.179 --> 00:53:08.099
Alert, right? Well, get rid of your disinfectants

00:53:08.099 --> 00:53:10.260
and rubber bedspreads, kids. It's the all -new

00:53:10.260 --> 00:53:13.659
Amber Herd Alert System. This fantastic early

00:53:13.659 --> 00:53:16.039
warning device helps one stay dry and rid of

00:53:16.039 --> 00:53:19.000
all those annoying mattress invoices. Simply

00:53:24.260 --> 00:53:26.539
machine has three distinct settings, babbling

00:53:26.539 --> 00:53:28.980
brook, ocean waves, and roaring river for those

00:53:28.980 --> 00:53:32.389
close calls. Order today and get a free Cinnabon

00:53:44.170 --> 00:53:48.329
in tell. Joe Buck and Corey Aikman are doing

00:53:48.329 --> 00:53:53.090
all televised and radio games of the NFL this

00:53:53.090 --> 00:54:05.659
year. Two douchebags and microphone. I'm Mark

00:54:05.659 --> 00:54:10.159
of the Kansas City chapter. And I am Rob of the

00:54:10.159 --> 00:54:13.820
beautiful Lake of the Ozarks chapter. The Nianguo

00:54:13.820 --> 00:54:23.559
Arm. Yes. All right. Rob. Okay. A woman who says

00:54:23.559 --> 00:54:27.000
she lives just 12 miles from the SpaceX testing

00:54:27.000 --> 00:55:00.489
facility. Okay. space travel, and satellite technology.

00:55:01.309 --> 00:55:03.989
However, despite the billionaire's impressive

00:55:03.989 --> 00:55:08.030
work in the field, one woman claims to be less

00:55:08.030 --> 00:55:10.809
than impressed at the effect the test has allegedly

00:55:10.809 --> 00:55:14.690
had on her home. Foundation repair ain't cheap,

00:55:14.849 --> 00:55:21.070
TikTok user TheFeralGuru said as her video began,

00:55:21.269 --> 00:55:24.829
showing her window blinds trembling. It's rattling.

00:55:25.530 --> 00:55:27.909
The ad as she made her way to the living room

00:55:27.909 --> 00:55:30.769
where her ornaments were shaking on the wall.

00:55:31.530 --> 00:55:35.130
As everything came to a standstill, the TikToker

00:55:35.130 --> 00:55:38.610
continued, and now just a few seconds of silence.

00:55:38.650 --> 00:55:41.869
See the difference? This is what it should sound

00:55:41.869 --> 00:55:46.170
like. Pointing her camera at large cracks on

00:55:46.170 --> 00:55:49.789
five of her walls. Meanwhile, she added, nearly

00:55:49.789 --> 00:55:53.489
every doorway is cracked. In a separate video,

00:55:53.690 --> 00:56:25.440
she alleged, same thing. Wow, as far away as

00:56:25.440 --> 00:56:32.219
Waco? Yeah. Waco, Texas? Yeah. That's quite a

00:56:32.219 --> 00:56:37.079
ways away. Waco filed a lawsuit last year. I

00:56:37.079 --> 00:56:40.699
think it's entirely possible. Seeking damages

00:56:40.699 --> 00:56:46.579
to his foundation. There's another resident...

00:56:46.579 --> 00:56:48.639
We might all get a Dodge check from Elon then,

00:56:48.659 --> 00:56:54.590
right? Yeah, my foundation. In response to the

00:56:54.590 --> 00:56:59.250
stories, SpaceX insisted the public is not at

00:56:59.250 --> 00:57:02.329
risk during the testing and that they adhere

00:57:02.329 --> 00:57:08.449
to all parameters relating to air pressure, noise

00:57:08.449 --> 00:57:12.630
levels, and ground vibration. Anyone with concerns

00:57:12.630 --> 00:57:17.849
can contact the company directly or do so via

00:57:17.849 --> 00:57:21.730
a licensed attorney. The company also asked for

00:57:21.730 --> 00:57:25.050
documented evidence, including photos and videos

00:57:25.050 --> 00:57:34.170
of alleged damage. Wow. I'd like to see how this

00:57:34.170 --> 00:57:38.309
turns out, because I guarantee you, you know,

00:57:38.309 --> 00:57:41.119
there's a lot of homes. Yes. I think these are

00:57:41.119 --> 00:57:43.860
only the first ones to speak up. That's why I

00:57:43.860 --> 00:57:46.239
was joking about a Dodge check coming from Elon.

00:57:46.539 --> 00:57:50.880
I mean, gosh, if they could prove that, imagine

00:57:50.880 --> 00:57:52.780
all the people that could come forward. They

00:57:52.780 --> 00:57:54.659
could have already had foundation issues, and

00:57:54.659 --> 00:57:56.639
they said, you know what? I may have had foundation

00:57:56.639 --> 00:57:59.079
issues, but this hurried it up 10 years. Now

00:57:59.079 --> 00:58:01.820
I have to do something about it. Yeah, yeah.

00:58:01.840 --> 00:58:02.920
You see, there are a lot of people that could

00:58:02.920 --> 00:58:06.119
have a legitimate claim about that if it goes

00:58:06.119 --> 00:58:09.510
through. Or what could happen is a good old bullshit

00:58:09.510 --> 00:58:12.190
class action where nobody gets anything. You

00:58:12.190 --> 00:58:14.289
get a $2 check in the mail and all the lawyers

00:58:14.289 --> 00:58:16.610
get it. We'll see which way this goes. 20 years

00:58:16.610 --> 00:58:20.110
from now. Yeah, 20 years from now. Yeah. Did

00:58:20.110 --> 00:58:23.170
you eat asbestos as a child? Here's your $2.

00:58:23.809 --> 00:58:29.949
Yeah, it's fucking ridiculous. Okay. Rob, like

00:58:29.949 --> 00:58:32.650
I threatened to do, I got a couple of these new...

00:58:34.360 --> 00:58:36.659
Parody bits. And I decided to do something a

00:58:36.659 --> 00:58:39.360
little bit different. And how well this does

00:58:39.360 --> 00:58:42.760
is contingent on how well it sounds. But I love

00:58:42.760 --> 00:58:46.099
the idea of rating this live right now. And see

00:58:46.099 --> 00:58:50.139
what you think. What I think of it. And I want

00:58:50.139 --> 00:58:54.659
people to write in. And say, this is your first

00:58:54.659 --> 00:58:56.599
one right here. You're going to get this on this

00:58:56.599 --> 00:58:59.780
show. You're going to get them on this one when

00:58:59.780 --> 00:59:05.050
I edit it. But I want your first reaction. All

00:59:05.050 --> 00:59:07.670
right, the first one is called Rob Radiation.

00:59:09.550 --> 00:59:14.449
So this is, Rob is a superman because, and this

00:59:14.449 --> 00:59:17.289
is all a parody, guys, okay? Don't anybody try

00:59:17.289 --> 00:59:21.030
to eat radiation. Rob, he ate radiation in small

00:59:21.030 --> 00:59:23.590
amounts for 30 years. Now he's immune to it.

00:59:23.710 --> 00:59:26.809
So here's what you get. This is Radiation Rob,

00:59:26.909 --> 00:59:29.230
and you can rent him for parties and bar mitzvahs.

00:59:29.429 --> 00:59:33.929
So here we go, and I got to put the... Speak

00:59:33.929 --> 00:59:38.030
a little bit closer. Or the microphone. Here.

00:59:43.869 --> 00:59:50.030
Will I not play both? You know what? It's not

00:59:50.030 --> 00:59:55.570
going to fucking work. Damn it. Of course. I

00:59:55.570 --> 01:00:01.829
was so excited about this shit, too. And the

01:00:01.829 --> 01:00:04.869
next one after that is Thought of the Day. And

01:00:04.869 --> 01:00:07.730
it's about Bluetooth Guy. Bluetooth Guy is the

01:00:07.730 --> 01:00:11.989
asshole that always fucking screams in the, wherever,

01:00:12.309 --> 01:00:15.170
in the store. And you can't help but hear him.

01:00:15.489 --> 01:00:18.190
But it doesn't matter because I can't play either

01:00:18.190 --> 01:00:21.369
one of them. I wonder if I can switch the mic

01:00:21.369 --> 01:00:23.909
on these to something else. Let's see if it affects.

01:00:25.150 --> 01:00:36.019
No, it won't fucking. Let me try this. What was

01:00:36.019 --> 01:00:44.539
the other sound we came up with? Oh, well. Oh,

01:00:44.539 --> 01:00:47.800
it was that one that you had recorded. Yeah,

01:00:47.880 --> 01:00:51.099
yeah. Oh, the longest word ever. Okay. Well,

01:00:51.239 --> 01:00:53.599
the only way I think I'll be able to do this,

01:00:53.639 --> 01:00:55.559
but I'm not sure, because here's what the problem

01:00:55.559 --> 01:00:58.880
is I just found out. It all uses the same sound

01:00:58.880 --> 01:01:02.869
drive. And it's incapable of switching from one

01:01:02.869 --> 01:01:05.750
audio track to the other at the same time because

01:01:05.750 --> 01:01:08.369
it would be recording us and playing us, and

01:01:08.369 --> 01:01:10.550
it doesn't understand that. It's like, I don't

01:01:10.550 --> 01:01:16.650
know what to do. So, okay. All right. Well, I

01:01:16.650 --> 01:01:19.210
thought it was a great idea, and maybe I can

01:01:19.210 --> 01:01:21.929
get it to work in the future. But for right now,

01:01:22.010 --> 01:01:25.809
it's not going to work. All right. Well, let

01:01:25.809 --> 01:01:31.050
me go to... Millennials and Gen Z's are having

01:01:31.050 --> 01:01:34.610
a lot of hearing loss. A lot earlier than we

01:01:34.610 --> 01:01:37.349
did. And we listen to a lot of loud shows, right?

01:01:38.469 --> 01:01:41.969
Right. Okay, my hearing loss didn't happen until

01:01:41.969 --> 01:01:44.710
I was like, I don't know, 40. And it started

01:01:44.710 --> 01:01:48.570
deteriorating from there. And it's due to loud

01:01:48.570 --> 01:01:50.949
noises. I can't hear high frequency that well

01:01:50.949 --> 01:01:55.550
and I also have tinnitus from it. So, okay. Anyhow,

01:01:55.550 --> 01:01:57.050
I'll go into this article now. It says, Sound

01:01:57.050 --> 01:01:59.130
the alarm. Millennials and Gen Z are at risk

01:01:59.130 --> 01:02:01.789
for early hearing loss. Because of high -powered

01:02:01.789 --> 01:02:05.150
headphones and high -decimal sound systems, hearing

01:02:05.150 --> 01:02:09.349
loss is no longer a simple sign of aging. Millennials

01:02:09.349 --> 01:02:12.469
and Gen Z readers may be shook to learn that

01:02:12.469 --> 01:02:14.650
throwing shade at boomers with funky hearing

01:02:14.650 --> 01:02:17.550
aids is no longer cool. Hearing tests are not

01:02:17.550 --> 01:02:20.690
adulting concerns for the future. According to

01:02:20.690 --> 01:02:25.360
American Hearing and Audiology, who are people

01:02:25.360 --> 01:02:28.900
now in their 40s and 30s, and 17 % of Gen Z,

01:02:29.039 --> 01:02:32.440
people in their 20s and late teens, suffer from

01:02:32.440 --> 01:02:36.679
some form of hearing loss. Dr. Anna Strange,

01:02:37.039 --> 01:02:40.780
audiologist, says she smiles when she sees little

01:02:40.780 --> 01:02:43.219
kids with big noise -blocking headphones at outdoor

01:02:43.219 --> 01:02:46.119
concerts or street festivals, and not just because

01:02:46.119 --> 01:02:49.239
they're so cute. I love that their ears are protected,

01:02:49.420 --> 01:02:51.380
but it's ironic because their parents should

01:02:51.380 --> 01:02:53.420
have the same level of protection for their hair,

01:02:53.539 --> 01:02:56.940
and she explained. And, you know, this is true

01:02:56.940 --> 01:02:59.699
because how many of the younger ones do you see?

01:02:59.739 --> 01:03:02.840
Actually, I see a lot of boomers and Xers with

01:03:02.840 --> 01:03:06.059
big fucking ugly headphones on their head walking

01:03:06.059 --> 01:03:10.219
around. Do you see that, too? Or is that a city

01:03:10.219 --> 01:03:12.840
boomer? Yeah, I do. Yeah, yeah. Well, I think

01:03:12.840 --> 01:03:16.449
it's more of a city. Yeah, but... Most people

01:03:16.449 --> 01:03:20.269
use earpods. Yeah, I'd rather use an earpod too,

01:03:20.329 --> 01:03:21.710
but there's a lot of people walk around with

01:03:21.710 --> 01:03:24.829
big headphones, old style. Now, they're wireless,

01:03:24.929 --> 01:03:27.309
they're Bluetooth, but they kind of remind you

01:03:27.309 --> 01:03:29.130
of the old style headphones that we used to plug

01:03:29.130 --> 01:03:32.929
in straight to our Walkman or whatever. Walkman,

01:03:32.989 --> 01:03:36.849
look it up. It's spelt like Walkman. Walkman,

01:03:36.949 --> 01:03:42.780
only one word, look it up. Okay, let's see. Why

01:03:42.780 --> 01:03:45.619
the increase in young adult hearing loss is what

01:03:45.619 --> 01:03:48.340
you might ask. For people over 50, hearing loss

01:03:48.340 --> 01:03:53.059
is often caused by proboscis, age -related changes

01:03:53.059 --> 01:03:57.059
in the air or auditory nerve. This natural process

01:03:57.059 --> 01:04:00.739
can be exasperated by hereditary factors like

01:04:00.739 --> 01:04:04.139
head injuries, illnesses, or infections, some

01:04:04.139 --> 01:04:06.659
prescriptions, circulatory problems, and, of

01:04:06.659 --> 01:04:10.219
course, excessive loud noise. Now, I know circulatory

01:04:10.219 --> 01:04:14.199
problems can be a factor because circulatory,

01:04:14.420 --> 01:04:17.539
you see, you know, it's like the heck. I can

01:04:17.539 --> 01:04:22.179
say that now. Circulatory problems can also be,

01:04:22.260 --> 01:04:25.940
can definitely be your circulation, too, because

01:04:25.940 --> 01:04:27.559
that's one of the things they went into about

01:04:27.559 --> 01:04:30.400
tinnitus. It can be related to your cardiovascular

01:04:30.400 --> 01:04:35.309
system as well as hearing loss. For people under

01:04:35.309 --> 01:04:37.869
50, being around excessive noise is the main

01:04:37.869 --> 01:04:40.590
culprit of early onset hearing loss. The National

01:04:40.590 --> 01:04:43.690
Council of Aging defines excessive noise as 85

01:04:43.690 --> 01:04:52.469
decimals. And so, where is the second page? Okay.

01:04:52.969 --> 01:04:56.610
85 decimals are allowed for an extended amount

01:04:56.610 --> 01:04:59.130
of time, like using a leaf blower for two hours

01:04:59.130 --> 01:05:01.780
without ear protection. They do rattle your ears.

01:05:01.880 --> 01:05:04.280
You've used one, haven't you, in a leaf blower?

01:05:05.900 --> 01:05:09.639
Yeah. Yeah, they can get pretty loud. But millennials

01:05:09.639 --> 01:05:12.780
and Gen Zs don't use leaf blowers. They know

01:05:12.780 --> 01:05:14.980
to leave the leaves until spring for insects.

01:05:15.300 --> 01:05:18.940
It's true. So what about blasting a true crime

01:05:18.940 --> 01:05:22.719
podcast at full volume out of your AirPods or

01:05:22.719 --> 01:05:26.420
spending an earplug -free weekend at Coachella?

01:05:26.579 --> 01:05:29.809
Those situations can be just as bad. The shift

01:05:29.809 --> 01:05:32.170
to digital music, games, and streaming TV or

01:05:32.170 --> 01:05:34.230
movies have increased the amount of time people

01:05:34.230 --> 01:05:36.369
are using headphones or earbuds for entertainment.

01:05:36.789 --> 01:05:40.409
They deliver unregulated sound right from the

01:05:40.409 --> 01:05:43.329
sensitive parts of your ear, right to them. Then,

01:05:43.429 --> 01:05:45.989
it's not just concerts that will leave your ears

01:05:45.989 --> 01:05:49.210
ringing. Sporting events, bars, and hot new restaurants

01:05:49.210 --> 01:05:51.510
are often designed to be loud and can hammer

01:05:51.510 --> 01:05:54.889
us with advanced sound amplification technology.

01:05:55.769 --> 01:05:58.739
And that's true. Because one of the places that

01:05:58.739 --> 01:06:00.739
I like to go in Kansas City is a blue line hockey

01:06:00.739 --> 01:06:05.179
bar up in the city market area. That place is

01:06:05.179 --> 01:06:08.840
as loud as a concert whenever you got a football

01:06:08.840 --> 01:06:12.780
game going on in there. And people scream so

01:06:12.780 --> 01:06:15.300
loud and it's a smaller place and people scream

01:06:15.300 --> 01:06:19.400
so loud in there that it is probably the same

01:06:19.400 --> 01:06:22.039
decimal as a concert. I'm not kidding you. I

01:06:22.039 --> 01:06:23.760
never thought that like just like, I don't know,

01:06:23.840 --> 01:06:27.179
50 people. It could get that loud, but in that

01:06:27.179 --> 01:06:29.019
type of a building, it can definitely hurt your

01:06:29.019 --> 01:06:31.639
ears. All right, here are some tips to get you

01:06:31.639 --> 01:06:33.320
started. Wear hearing protection if you have

01:06:33.320 --> 01:06:36.460
a noisy job or like noisy activities. You must

01:06:36.460 --> 01:06:39.420
get earmuffs or earplugs. Inserted earplugs keep

01:06:39.420 --> 01:06:41.519
the sound out better than earmuffs, said Dr.

01:06:41.519 --> 01:06:44.179
Brockfield, but any hearing protection is better

01:06:44.179 --> 01:06:47.920
than none. So as a musician, Dr. Brockfield understands

01:06:47.920 --> 01:06:50.679
not wanting to listen to muffled sound at a concert,

01:06:50.820 --> 01:06:54.000
so he recommends off -the -shelf musician's earplugs

01:06:54.000 --> 01:07:03.170
that have a flat, Annunciation. Okay. The musician's

01:07:03.170 --> 01:07:05.130
earplugs work good because they're designed to

01:07:05.130 --> 01:07:07.409
keep other noise out and to keep the noise that

01:07:07.409 --> 01:07:11.210
you want to hear in. It doesn't muffle them as

01:07:11.210 --> 01:07:14.050
bad. And a lot of musicians have to use that

01:07:14.050 --> 01:07:15.989
because they have hearing loss and they have

01:07:15.989 --> 01:07:17.809
to. You know, they're right next to their Marshall

01:07:17.809 --> 01:07:22.570
stack or whatever. As an audiologist, Dr. Brothfield

01:07:22.570 --> 01:07:25.429
has designed earplug sets for musicians, one

01:07:25.429 --> 01:07:27.869
to fully dampen sound during rehearsal and another

01:07:27.869 --> 01:07:31.469
with low enunciation to hear subtle cues during

01:07:31.469 --> 01:07:34.789
a performance. And then he said, it's important

01:07:34.789 --> 01:07:37.170
to know the 60 -60 rule. Device levels should

01:07:37.170 --> 01:07:40.070
be at 60 % volume and listening on headphones

01:07:40.070 --> 01:07:42.730
should be 60 minutes maximum before taking a

01:07:42.730 --> 01:07:45.409
break. Most devices now have a headphone safety

01:07:45.409 --> 01:07:48.130
feature so you can set a limit. Now I know what

01:07:48.130 --> 01:07:52.360
that's about. I've seen that. Okay. Feature so

01:07:52.360 --> 01:07:55.559
you can set a limiter below 80 decibels. Adjust

01:07:55.559 --> 01:07:58.260
your TV sound system. How many times have you

01:07:58.260 --> 01:08:00.539
turned up the sound for a movie or a baseball

01:08:00.539 --> 01:08:03.340
game? Only be blasted out of your seat by a much

01:08:03.340 --> 01:08:05.440
louder commercial. That's about every day, isn't

01:08:05.440 --> 01:08:08.559
it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Commercials always come

01:08:08.559 --> 01:08:12.320
out loud. So, Dr. C., the internal speakers instead

01:08:12.320 --> 01:08:15.039
of separate sound systems are better for your

01:08:15.039 --> 01:08:19.260
ears. Turn on the... Captions with real millennials

01:08:19.260 --> 01:08:22.020
have already done that. A lot of them turn on

01:08:22.020 --> 01:08:25.119
the closed caption. That way they can talk to

01:08:25.119 --> 01:08:31.159
somebody and watch TV. He also recommends not

01:08:31.159 --> 01:08:33.760
giving to the stigma of hearing aids being ugly

01:08:33.760 --> 01:08:36.439
and hard to use. No, that's not true, man. Hearing

01:08:36.439 --> 01:08:39.680
aids are easy and you can't even see them. I've

01:08:39.680 --> 01:08:43.760
got one right here. This thing right here. Goes

01:08:43.760 --> 01:08:47.050
in your ears. and you can't see it unless you

01:08:47.050 --> 01:08:49.609
come up there and you bend their ear back, you

01:08:49.609 --> 01:08:51.369
can see the device. But other than that, you

01:08:51.369 --> 01:08:56.470
do not know it's there. So, yeah. And it wasn't

01:08:56.470 --> 01:08:58.369
crazy expensive either, like one would think.

01:08:58.670 --> 01:09:02.770
So, anyhow, yeah, I suggest if you have hearing

01:09:02.770 --> 01:09:05.430
problems and you want to solve it, you know,

01:09:05.449 --> 01:09:08.029
hearing people better, get a hearing aid, and

01:09:08.029 --> 01:09:10.189
you get one of these new chic ones that no one

01:09:10.189 --> 01:09:14.750
sees. So, anyhow, Rob, you got something? Yeah,

01:09:14.750 --> 01:09:20.250
I do. The ancestral home of the founder of Harley

01:09:20.250 --> 01:09:24.210
Davidson Motorcycles has been saved from demolition

01:09:24.210 --> 01:09:28.850
by a devoted group. The Davidson Legacy Preservation

01:09:28.850 --> 01:09:32.310
Group has achieved their goal of raising more

01:09:32.310 --> 01:09:37.869
than 300 ,000 pounds to obtain keys to the cottage

01:09:37.869 --> 01:09:41.189
with the plan to develop it into a visitor attraction.

01:09:42.350 --> 01:09:45.770
Davidson Cottage, located in the Angus village

01:09:45.770 --> 01:09:50.710
of Aberlimbo, was home to William C. Davidson,

01:09:50.989 --> 01:09:56.350
who immigrated to America in 1857 with his three

01:09:56.350 --> 01:09:59.689
children, creating the iconic Harley Davidson.

01:10:00.449 --> 01:10:03.850
After a three -year campaign at the last minute,

01:10:03.930 --> 01:10:07.789
the Harley Davidson Company stepped in to provide

01:10:07.789 --> 01:10:11.069
the final funding to get the team over the line.

01:10:12.039 --> 01:10:16.939
In a statement on their GoFundMe page, Mary Abton

01:10:16.939 --> 01:10:20.680
of the Davidson Legacy Preservation Group said,

01:10:20.899 --> 01:10:24.399
This incredible milestone would not have been

01:10:24.399 --> 01:10:27.859
possible without the dedication and generosity

01:10:27.859 --> 01:10:32.340
of so many. We extend our heartfelt thanks to

01:10:32.340 --> 01:10:35.500
everyone who contributed to the fundraising efforts,

01:10:35.819 --> 01:10:38.899
especially the Harley Davidson writing community.

01:10:39.789 --> 01:10:43.270
and our supporters worldwide. Your enthusiasm

01:10:43.270 --> 01:10:49.890
and commitment has been truly inspiring. That's

01:10:49.890 --> 01:10:52.369
pretty cool. That is very cool. Talk about devoted

01:10:52.369 --> 01:10:59.750
fans. Right. The way it was sounded, they saved

01:10:59.750 --> 01:11:05.550
this place at the last minute. What was that

01:11:05.550 --> 01:11:09.789
music hall that they did that to? Was it Atlanta,

01:11:09.989 --> 01:11:13.729
maybe? And people went and stood in front of

01:11:13.729 --> 01:11:17.130
it? I did a story just a couple weeks ago about

01:11:17.130 --> 01:11:24.890
the Angus Young Home. The one where Angus and

01:11:24.890 --> 01:11:27.630
Malcolm... Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's another

01:11:27.630 --> 01:11:31.189
one, too, but there was... Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:11:31.350 --> 01:11:33.390
That was another one, but there was one a couple

01:11:33.390 --> 01:11:35.880
of years ago. Very famous one where people stood

01:11:35.880 --> 01:11:37.380
in front of it and wouldn't let the wrecking

01:11:37.380 --> 01:11:42.939
ball hit it. And then they finally got some affluent

01:11:42.939 --> 01:11:45.180
people to invest in it. And now it's a music

01:11:45.180 --> 01:11:49.720
venue again. Oh, yeah. I remember. I think you

01:11:49.720 --> 01:11:52.659
might have reported on it, actually. I might

01:11:52.659 --> 01:11:55.720
have. Well, whoever reported on it, I'm glad

01:11:55.720 --> 01:11:57.859
you remember it because I do too. And I just

01:11:57.859 --> 01:11:59.960
thought that was a cool story. People going to

01:11:59.960 --> 01:12:06.010
bat for what they believe in. I have a quiz here

01:12:06.010 --> 01:12:09.409
if you want to get into it here. These are old

01:12:09.409 --> 01:12:13.090
words that are basically gone anymore that we

01:12:13.090 --> 01:12:16.630
used to use and we used to hear semi -often.

01:12:17.649 --> 01:12:19.909
And I would like to know if you know what they

01:12:19.909 --> 01:12:25.649
actually mean. I didn't. Are you ready? Yeah.

01:12:25.810 --> 01:12:27.609
And these are words that they took out of the

01:12:27.609 --> 01:12:31.409
dictionary recently, too. So, okay. Bumfuzzle.

01:12:33.420 --> 01:12:35.319
You remember hearing that at all? I heard it

01:12:35.319 --> 01:12:40.460
very rarely, but I did hear it. I'm going to

01:12:40.460 --> 01:12:43.979
have to say it goes along with bumfuck. Yeah,

01:12:43.979 --> 01:12:48.399
yeah, yeah, it could, it could, yeah. Means to

01:12:48.399 --> 01:12:51.640
confuse, fluster, or bewilder someone. Often

01:12:51.640 --> 01:12:54.560
used in a playful or informal way and is similar

01:12:54.560 --> 01:12:58.779
to the meaning bamboozle. So yeah, yeah, that'd

01:12:58.779 --> 01:13:01.369
be a bumfuck. Here's a more detailed explanation.

01:13:01.729 --> 01:13:03.750
Meaning, to bumfuzzle is to cause someone to

01:13:03.750 --> 01:13:06.930
become confused, perplexed, or flustered. Usage

01:13:06.930 --> 01:13:09.609
is a collatical term, meaning it's typically

01:13:09.609 --> 01:13:12.569
used in informal conversation, especially in

01:13:12.569 --> 01:13:15.909
southern United States. Similar words are bamboozle.

01:13:16.909 --> 01:13:19.989
Let's see. Anyhow, that's pretty much it. How

01:13:19.989 --> 01:13:25.750
about collywobbles? I've heard that. Rarely.

01:13:25.750 --> 01:13:31.020
I have not. Okay. It's humorous. It's a plural

01:13:31.020 --> 01:13:35.479
noun. Anyhow, Kali Wobbles means stomach pain

01:13:35.479 --> 01:13:38.560
or queasiness. And someone would use it as an

01:13:38.560 --> 01:13:42.979
attack of the Kali Wobbles. Intense anxiety or

01:13:42.979 --> 01:13:45.220
nervousness, especially with stomach queasiness.

01:13:46.399 --> 01:13:49.659
So, like such organizations get on the Kali Wobbles.

01:13:49.800 --> 01:13:52.720
Yeah. I've heard that, but like I said, it's

01:13:52.720 --> 01:13:59.390
not that common. But, I mean, And I didn't know

01:13:59.390 --> 01:14:03.050
what any of these meant, honestly. So, all right.

01:14:03.090 --> 01:14:07.890
The next one is, I've never heard this one. Flibbertigibbet.

01:14:09.170 --> 01:14:13.550
Have you ever heard that? No, I have not. Okay.

01:14:15.510 --> 01:14:19.770
Flibbertigibbets. A frivolous, flighty, or excessively

01:14:19.770 --> 01:14:22.550
talkative person. Origin, late middle English.

01:14:24.270 --> 01:14:29.390
It is used in idle chatter. So, all right. That

01:14:29.390 --> 01:14:31.949
one I'm kind of disappointed in because I don't

01:14:31.949 --> 01:14:33.590
think I've ever heard that. I think I would have

01:14:33.590 --> 01:14:36.050
remembered that stupid word. It's like that word

01:14:36.050 --> 01:14:40.109
that I kept playing last week. You'd remember

01:14:40.109 --> 01:14:44.930
it if you heard it. Yeah. So, anyhow. How about

01:14:44.930 --> 01:14:48.470
gubbins? G -U -B -B -I -N -S. And to me, I think

01:14:48.470 --> 01:14:50.590
this is British, just by the way it sounds. I

01:14:50.590 --> 01:14:52.890
don't know for sure. Have you ever heard that?

01:14:54.109 --> 01:14:57.430
No. Okay. No wonder they're taken out of the

01:14:57.430 --> 01:14:59.069
dictionary. Nobody knew what the hell it was.

01:14:59.829 --> 01:15:03.529
All right. It's a noun. Plural but singular or

01:15:03.529 --> 01:15:06.949
plural in construction. Gibbons. Various or less

01:15:06.949 --> 01:15:11.109
commonly, gubbins. It's a dialectical British.

01:15:11.350 --> 01:15:15.170
Oh, it is British. Fish pairings or refuge, broadly.

01:15:15.449 --> 01:15:20.869
Any bits and pieces, scraps. Gadget, gadgetry.

01:15:21.029 --> 01:15:24.649
The gubbins for a change in attire. All the navigational

01:15:24.649 --> 01:15:28.659
gubbins. Eh, okay. Or it can also mean a foolish

01:15:28.659 --> 01:15:32.359
or futile person, simpleton, you silly Govans.

01:15:34.159 --> 01:15:37.100
Eh, okay. Sorry about that one. Sorry about the

01:15:37.100 --> 01:15:43.020
last two. How about kerfuffle? I've heard that.

01:15:45.680 --> 01:15:50.329
I've heard it a couple times. Yeah, that's what

01:15:50.329 --> 01:15:52.390
I'm saying, too. It has not been very common

01:15:52.390 --> 01:15:54.810
to me, but I do remember it here and there because

01:15:54.810 --> 01:15:58.229
it's a particular word. People mean to say it

01:15:58.229 --> 01:16:02.649
for a reason. So, yeah, it's pretty poignant,

01:16:02.729 --> 01:16:07.189
I guess, maybe. Anyhow, all right. Kerfuffle

01:16:07.189 --> 01:16:10.770
is British again. Kerfuffle is a plural noun.

01:16:10.949 --> 01:16:15.140
Kerfuffle is a common... commotion or fuss, especially

01:16:15.140 --> 01:16:18.100
one caused by conflicting views. There was a

01:16:18.100 --> 01:16:21.739
kerfuffle over the chairmanship origin is how

01:16:21.739 --> 01:16:25.279
it's used. Early 19th century, perhaps from Scott's

01:16:25.279 --> 01:16:31.840
kerfuffle. It was a Gaelic term. Twist or bend

01:16:31.840 --> 01:16:35.739
is what it originally meant. So it's related

01:16:35.739 --> 01:16:43.260
to twist or bend something. whether it be an

01:16:43.260 --> 01:16:48.159
object or the truth. And then in Irish, it means

01:16:48.159 --> 01:16:53.279
confusion or disorder. So, all right. And then

01:16:53.279 --> 01:16:55.939
finally, I don't know, that's it. You know what?

01:16:56.399 --> 01:16:59.779
I'm just saying, that sounds like something Rose

01:16:59.779 --> 01:17:03.960
from the Golden Girls said. That's a pretty good

01:17:03.960 --> 01:17:06.680
description, Rob. Yes. She would come up with,

01:17:06.760 --> 01:17:09.760
she... You used to come up with words like that.

01:17:10.079 --> 01:17:12.600
Yes, the ones that make people turn around and

01:17:12.600 --> 01:17:16.779
go, what? What did you say? All right, well,

01:17:16.899 --> 01:17:19.399
I'm done with that because I purposely did not

01:17:19.399 --> 01:17:22.840
do too many of them because they get, actually

01:17:22.840 --> 01:17:24.939
they get on your nerves, don't they? Kind of.

01:17:26.380 --> 01:17:32.000
So, yeah, Rob, we turn to you. Okay, a man is

01:17:32.000 --> 01:17:35.079
facing time behind bars after being convicted.

01:17:38.720 --> 01:18:35.489
Okay. Oh. Hmm. That left no questions, she said.

01:18:35.689 --> 01:18:39.670
She shared only a still image from the video,

01:18:39.909 --> 01:18:43.890
but allowed ABC 13 to watch it in its entirety.

01:18:44.430 --> 01:18:48.029
Further testing brought devastating news to the

01:18:48.029 --> 01:18:51.869
54 -year -old victim, who learned she had acquired

01:18:51.869 --> 01:18:55.829
a non -curable sexually transmitted disease.

01:18:56.310 --> 01:19:00.689
The lawsuit was initially filed on behalf...

01:19:00.939 --> 01:19:03.739
of four women who worked in the East Houston

01:19:03.739 --> 01:19:07.760
office building where Diaz was a janitor. The

01:19:07.760 --> 01:19:11.600
women reportedly tested positive for incurable

01:19:11.600 --> 01:19:15.140
sexually transmitted diseases after coming in

01:19:15.140 --> 01:19:18.460
contact with water bottles infected by Diaz.

01:19:18.699 --> 01:19:22.020
The law firm said that after the lawsuit was

01:19:22.020 --> 01:19:25.640
filed, nine other women who worked in the same

01:19:25.640 --> 01:19:28.539
building came forward with the same allegations

01:19:28.539 --> 01:19:34.260
and diagnosis. The lawsuit named the building's

01:19:34.260 --> 01:19:37.579
owner, the building's management company, the

01:19:37.579 --> 01:19:40.180
maintenance company, and the cleaning company

01:19:40.180 --> 01:19:49.359
that employed Diaz. Wow. Damn, dude. There are

01:19:49.359 --> 01:19:51.859
some sick people out there, I'm telling you.

01:19:51.859 --> 01:19:54.000
Yeah, like the guy at the Hereford house that

01:19:54.000 --> 01:19:57.000
was like... Putting feces and urine in people's

01:19:57.000 --> 01:20:01.060
food and drink. This reminds me of a case from

01:20:01.060 --> 01:20:04.680
St. Joe probably 25, maybe 30 some years ago.

01:20:04.960 --> 01:20:06.939
Maybe a little bit further than that, but I think

01:20:06.939 --> 01:20:08.619
you remember. You're probably around town during

01:20:08.619 --> 01:20:11.680
this time. The guy that was pissing in the coffee.

01:20:12.000 --> 01:20:14.479
He was making coffee with his piss every morning

01:20:14.479 --> 01:20:19.560
in his office. Do you remember that? Nope. I

01:20:19.560 --> 01:20:21.720
think I remember something about that. Yeah,

01:20:21.739 --> 01:20:24.119
yeah. It was one of the very first cases of something

01:20:24.119 --> 01:20:27.720
like this. I guess he's a big, big heavy guy,

01:20:27.859 --> 01:20:30.140
and I guess, like, maybe this is from what I

01:20:30.140 --> 01:20:32.560
gather from the way it was worded a couple of

01:20:32.560 --> 01:20:36.920
times. They jibbed him about his weight. Do what?

01:20:37.539 --> 01:20:42.060
I was living up around St. Joe 25 years ago.

01:20:42.420 --> 01:20:44.500
Yeah, they... Right at 25 years ago. This is

01:20:44.500 --> 01:20:47.359
back before cameras were... That would have been

01:20:47.359 --> 01:20:51.529
around 2000. Yeah, that sounds about right. That's

01:20:51.529 --> 01:20:56.630
probably about when that happened. No, it was

01:20:56.630 --> 01:21:01.689
not me. No, this guy was a big, heavy guy. And

01:21:01.689 --> 01:21:04.289
from what I could gather from what the articles

01:21:04.289 --> 01:21:10.390
read or said in him was like, he got jabbed a

01:21:10.390 --> 01:21:12.409
little bit from people about his weight, giving

01:21:12.409 --> 01:21:15.699
him shit, and it pissed him off. So every morning

01:21:15.699 --> 01:21:18.520
he would go into the office and make coffee for

01:21:18.520 --> 01:21:20.239
everybody. But he didn't do it with water. He

01:21:20.239 --> 01:21:23.079
did it with his urine. And he did this for months.

01:21:23.520 --> 01:21:25.439
Until one lady started going, man, you know,

01:21:25.520 --> 01:21:28.819
this stuff does not taste right. So she installed

01:21:28.819 --> 01:21:31.020
a camera. And they caught him. And he went to

01:21:31.020 --> 01:21:33.199
prison. I don't know how long. He might be out.

01:21:33.279 --> 01:21:36.340
But I'll have to. You know what? Tuesday night.

01:21:37.140 --> 01:21:39.000
I'm going to download the article about that.

01:21:39.039 --> 01:21:40.960
I can find it, I'm sure. It's somewhere in the

01:21:40.960 --> 01:21:43.239
archives somewhere. I'm going to find it. I'm

01:21:43.239 --> 01:21:45.300
going to download it and we'll talk about it.

01:21:45.800 --> 01:21:49.920
Isn't that cool? Yeah. Yeah, I'll bet you it's

01:21:49.920 --> 01:21:52.260
probably 2000s, maybe even late 90s that that

01:21:52.260 --> 01:21:56.060
happened. Rob, I mean, you know what? I don't

01:21:56.060 --> 01:21:58.500
think I'd call the police at first. I think I'd

01:21:58.500 --> 01:22:01.260
beat the shit out of the guy. And then I'd call

01:22:01.260 --> 01:22:05.600
the police. And then go, he swung at me first.

01:22:05.819 --> 01:22:09.500
I mean, the guy is pissing in our drink. So you're

01:22:09.500 --> 01:22:11.779
going to believe him or me? I wasn't pissing

01:22:11.779 --> 01:22:15.680
everybody's drink. So, yeah, and also, I think

01:22:15.680 --> 01:22:17.680
that probably most cops will give you that one.

01:22:17.739 --> 01:22:19.119
They'll be like, I believe you, sir. There's

01:22:19.119 --> 01:22:21.479
absolutely no evidence that you started it, so

01:22:21.479 --> 01:22:24.699
you're free to go. This guy, however, no, not

01:22:24.699 --> 01:22:31.039
so much. Oh, so, wow. Thank you, Rob. You're

01:22:31.039 --> 01:22:33.500
welcome. It's 9 -17. Do you want to keep going

01:22:33.500 --> 01:22:37.260
or do you want to end it? Yeah, actually, I do

01:22:37.260 --> 01:22:39.899
have one here. Okay, I've got one too, but you

01:22:39.899 --> 01:22:41.340
can go ahead with yours, and I'll go with this

01:22:41.340 --> 01:22:46.979
one after. Okay, I'm going to go into Crew 9,

01:22:47.239 --> 01:22:52.140
the astronauts that just got back from the space

01:22:52.140 --> 01:22:54.180
station. The ones that were out there forever?

01:22:55.560 --> 01:23:01.960
Yeah, yeah. Okay. Crew 9's homecoming had been

01:23:01.960 --> 01:23:06.460
ushered in by NASA and SpaceX sending aid. new

01:23:06.460 --> 01:23:09.560
four -person crew to replace them to the International

01:23:09.560 --> 01:23:14.159
Space Station over the weekend. Wilmore and Williams

01:23:14.159 --> 01:23:19.060
both notched 286 days in space, significantly

01:23:19.060 --> 01:23:23.439
longer than the roughly one week they were originally

01:23:23.439 --> 01:23:27.159
supposed to spend on the ISS when they arrived

01:23:27.159 --> 01:23:32.079
via Boeing Starliner in June of last year. Meanwhile,

01:23:32.340 --> 01:23:36.140
Haig and Gourbinov... time in space amounted

01:23:36.140 --> 01:23:40.279
to 171 days. That was the other two that came

01:23:40.279 --> 01:23:46.159
back with them. With Crew 9 back on Earth, the

01:23:46.159 --> 01:23:51.199
new astronauts manning the ISS questioned about

01:23:51.199 --> 01:23:55.180
how much money NASA astronauts earn on board

01:23:55.180 --> 01:23:59.649
the orbiting research station had arisen. and

01:23:59.649 --> 01:24:02.810
whether Wilmar and Williams could have any extra

01:24:02.810 --> 01:24:06.630
pay coming their way, given their extensive space.

01:24:08.649 --> 01:24:13.789
That's a good question. Yeah. Yeah, sure is.

01:24:14.569 --> 01:24:20.470
And the answer is shocking. Okay. When NASA astronauts

01:24:20.470 --> 01:24:24.909
are aboard the International Space Station, they

01:24:24.909 --> 01:24:30.880
receive regular 40 -hour week. They do not receive

01:24:30.880 --> 01:24:35.960
overtime or holiday -slash -weekend pay, a NASA

01:24:35.960 --> 01:24:40.399
spokesperson told Fox Business. NASA astronauts'

01:24:40.800 --> 01:24:48.500
salaries were over $152 ,000 last year. The NASA

01:24:48.500 --> 01:24:51.539
spokesperson said transportation, lodging, and

01:24:51.539 --> 01:24:54.800
meals are provided for NASA astronauts. as they

01:24:54.800 --> 01:24:57.859
are on official travel orders as federal employees

01:24:57.859 --> 01:25:03.760
while in space. Well, duh. They are also on long

01:25:03.760 --> 01:25:09.020
-term temporary duty and receive the incidentals

01:25:09.020 --> 01:25:13.899
amount for each day they are in space. The spokesperson

01:25:13.899 --> 01:25:21.119
also spoke about business. Incidental expenses

01:25:21.119 --> 01:25:27.350
for travel. to any location is currently $5 a

01:25:27.350 --> 01:25:33.289
day. The incidentals rate would presumably equate

01:25:33.289 --> 01:25:43.050
to $1 ,430 for Wilmore and Williams. Wow. Okay.

01:25:43.689 --> 01:25:49.369
Yeah, she put, they put in over $900 of research.

01:25:50.069 --> 01:25:56.819
250 miles. paid for murders. Uh -huh. But, yeah,

01:25:56.859 --> 01:26:00.020
and they were up there roughly nine months. So

01:26:00.020 --> 01:26:03.899
they get their nine -month pay. Uh -huh. Plus

01:26:03.899 --> 01:26:11.359
$1 ,430. Doesn't seem like enough to me. That's

01:26:11.359 --> 01:26:15.520
it. Yeah. Although I did read another report

01:26:15.520 --> 01:26:18.399
where... Where Trump is giving them overtime.

01:26:18.600 --> 01:26:23.439
Yeah, Trump heard about it and... He said he'd

01:26:23.439 --> 01:26:25.720
pay him out of his own pocket. Yeah, and he's

01:26:25.720 --> 01:26:27.800
going to pay him, like, overtime, too, or something

01:26:27.800 --> 01:26:30.579
like that for the whole initial time, which is

01:26:30.579 --> 01:26:32.739
fucking fantastic if he does that, because these

01:26:32.739 --> 01:26:36.140
people deserve it. Yeah, it wasn't their fault.

01:26:37.119 --> 01:26:39.659
If it's true that the Biden administration, like

01:26:39.659 --> 01:26:41.880
it had been reported by several outlets, held

01:26:41.880 --> 01:26:47.100
that up to hurt Elon and Trump, he should be

01:26:47.100 --> 01:26:50.159
sued personally, in my opinion. They should sue

01:26:50.159 --> 01:26:53.810
him personally. for making them stay out in space

01:26:53.810 --> 01:26:58.210
that long. All of this is unproven, and I'm not,

01:26:58.229 --> 01:27:01.090
I think the article, you know, if it's true,

01:27:01.310 --> 01:27:03.670
then he should be held accountable for that.

01:27:04.369 --> 01:27:07.210
Because that's bullshit. Those poor people had

01:27:07.210 --> 01:27:09.109
to stay out there that long. It's not right.

01:27:10.609 --> 01:27:13.170
It's like everything else. It takes too long

01:27:13.170 --> 01:27:15.409
to prove it, and it's probably never going to

01:27:15.409 --> 01:27:16.689
prove it. It's probably never going to happen,

01:27:16.750 --> 01:27:20.319
yeah. So, anyhow. But, I mean, wouldn't you think

01:27:20.319 --> 01:27:22.600
he should be held responsible, if that's true,

01:27:22.659 --> 01:27:26.520
accountable for it? Yeah, I personally, in my

01:27:26.520 --> 01:27:29.899
opinion, yes. Yeah, yeah, I would be the first

01:27:29.899 --> 01:27:33.119
on board to say, sue that motherfucker. I don't

01:27:33.119 --> 01:27:34.420
think they could do anything to him. He could

01:27:34.420 --> 01:27:37.460
have easily gotten somebody up there to get them,

01:27:37.600 --> 01:27:41.880
easily. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Even if it was another

01:27:41.880 --> 01:27:46.939
country. Yes. So, anyhow, yeah, that's fucking

01:27:46.939 --> 01:27:50.649
stupid. So, all right. You know the average color

01:27:50.649 --> 01:27:54.689
of the universe is cosmic latte? This was determined

01:27:54.689 --> 01:27:57.590
by astronomers who analyzed the light from many

01:27:57.590 --> 01:28:02.409
galaxies. It is speculated that it rains diamonds

01:28:02.409 --> 01:28:05.689
on Uranus and Neptune. Oh, that's funny. It rains

01:28:05.689 --> 01:28:07.909
diamonds on Uranus? I've heard that. I've heard

01:28:07.909 --> 01:28:15.369
that. Oh, I was going by Uranus. Oh. That's pretty

01:28:15.369 --> 01:28:18.199
cool. I know where I want to go. I want to go

01:28:18.199 --> 01:28:20.239
to Uranus, Rob. What about you? Do you want to

01:28:20.239 --> 01:28:24.460
go to Uranus? Oh, we got one about an hour from

01:28:24.460 --> 01:28:28.920
me down here. Oh, okay. Uranus, Missouri. Oh,

01:28:28.939 --> 01:28:32.279
is there? Yeah, it's one of those, like, gift

01:28:32.279 --> 01:28:35.659
shop areas, tourist attractions. Oh, man. We've

01:28:35.659 --> 01:28:37.520
got to find something to do in Uranus, Missouri.

01:28:37.760 --> 01:28:40.960
It's down by St. Robert. Yeah, I know where that's

01:28:40.960 --> 01:28:44.020
at. Yeah, man, that poor town. Gosh, did you

01:28:44.020 --> 01:28:46.739
see all the damage that tornado did? About a

01:28:46.739 --> 01:28:49.720
week ago? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Oh, those poor guys.

01:28:50.979 --> 01:28:53.920
The human body. Your brain uses about 20 % of

01:28:53.920 --> 01:28:56.180
your body's total energy, even though it only

01:28:56.180 --> 01:28:59.500
makes up about 2 % of your body weight. The human

01:28:59.500 --> 01:29:04.439
brain is made up of roughly 60 % fat. Did you

01:29:04.439 --> 01:29:06.319
know that everybody's tongue print is unique,

01:29:06.399 --> 01:29:11.359
just like fingerprints? I didn't know that. I

01:29:11.359 --> 01:29:12.899
didn't. But who the hell is going to put ink

01:29:12.899 --> 01:29:14.979
on their tongue to prove it? I wouldn't, would

01:29:14.979 --> 01:29:19.029
you? Right. Here, go ahead. Okay, thanks. We've

01:29:19.029 --> 01:29:23.670
got a good print. All right. Animals. A shrimp's

01:29:23.670 --> 01:29:26.970
heart is located in its head. Yeah, where else

01:29:26.970 --> 01:29:28.569
are you going to put it? A shrimp's pretty small.

01:29:29.909 --> 01:29:33.090
Right. Giraffes are more likely to be struck

01:29:33.090 --> 01:29:37.189
by lightning than humans. I believe that. Hell

01:29:37.189 --> 01:29:40.250
yeah, they're way up there. Right, they're tall.

01:29:40.649 --> 01:29:43.949
Yeah. An ostrich eye is bigger than its brain.

01:29:44.539 --> 01:29:46.500
You ever been around an ostrich? I believe it.

01:29:49.199 --> 01:29:52.399
Yeah, I have. Alright, and here's some general

01:29:52.399 --> 01:29:55.239
facts. Water itself is not wet. Wetness is the

01:29:55.239 --> 01:29:57.659
ability of water to adhere to a solid surface.

01:29:59.119 --> 01:30:02.039
Identical twins do not have identical fingerprints.

01:30:02.699 --> 01:30:04.939
And that is all I got from this one. I just wanted

01:30:04.939 --> 01:30:08.899
to do some weird facts. Supposedly on the next

01:30:08.899 --> 01:30:11.600
podcast, Jeffy X has got some information for

01:30:11.600 --> 01:30:13.949
us. He's got another list. Oh, right on. Yeah,

01:30:13.949 --> 01:30:17.729
yeah, he's been working diligently. He's been

01:30:17.729 --> 01:30:20.010
busy. He's been sweating. He's been sweating.

01:30:20.010 --> 01:30:23.729
He still has the same outfit on, Rob. I know.

01:30:23.989 --> 01:30:25.949
Yeah, he needs to come by so he can get another

01:30:25.949 --> 01:30:30.590
Sgt. Pepper's outfit and maybe probably cut that

01:30:30.590 --> 01:30:37.010
off of him at this point. All right. Oh, here's

01:30:37.010 --> 01:30:39.109
something funny. Talk about cutting off. Okay.

01:30:39.609 --> 01:30:42.029
When we were at the emergency room because of

01:30:42.029 --> 01:30:44.970
my separated shoulder last week, I had a really

01:30:44.970 --> 01:30:48.329
nice crew shirt on, and he was going to cut it

01:30:48.329 --> 01:30:50.369
because it's, like, really hard to take it off

01:30:50.369 --> 01:30:52.430
of your arm because you're fucking wincing in

01:30:52.430 --> 01:30:57.189
pain. And anyhow, they felt so bad that they

01:30:57.189 --> 01:30:58.750
figured out how to take it off. It took a little

01:30:58.750 --> 01:31:00.250
bit longer, but they took it off without having

01:31:00.250 --> 01:31:05.550
to cut it. I thought that was funny. Yeah. That

01:31:05.550 --> 01:31:07.850
was nice of them. Yeah, it was. It is because

01:31:07.850 --> 01:31:09.710
I was like, I don't know, I like that shirt.

01:31:10.210 --> 01:31:12.149
And I thought they were going to go, oh, tough

01:31:12.149 --> 01:31:16.489
shit, your husband's a klutz. Nope. They worked

01:31:16.489 --> 01:31:19.930
around it. God bless him. Anyhow. All right,

01:31:20.010 --> 01:31:22.970
it is 926. I know you kind of got the 930 rule

01:31:22.970 --> 01:31:26.510
because you get up awful early. Yeah. We're going

01:31:26.510 --> 01:31:28.670
to go ahead and cut this bitch off. Call it good?

01:31:30.170 --> 01:31:32.829
Sounds good. All right, Rob, thank you again

01:31:32.829 --> 01:31:36.229
for joining me. Oh. Yeah. And hello, Knoblick.

01:31:36.689 --> 01:31:39.789
Oh, hi, Knoblick. We love you guys, especially

01:31:39.789 --> 01:31:43.449
your name. How about Tidewad, too? Hi, Tidewad.

01:31:43.510 --> 01:31:46.550
We love you guys. Yes, hi, Tidewad. Yeah, we've

01:31:46.550 --> 01:31:48.250
got to throw them some love. And what was the

01:31:48.250 --> 01:31:52.750
other one that you just mentioned, the one with

01:31:52.750 --> 01:31:56.489
the gift shop and all that? Oh, Uranus. Oh, yeah,

01:31:56.590 --> 01:32:01.119
and Uranus. All right. You know what? I don't

01:32:01.119 --> 01:32:02.779
want to get into all that whole thing now that

01:32:02.779 --> 01:32:05.520
we don't have to do Dodge City anymore. All right.

01:32:06.600 --> 01:32:09.779
That's in Pulaski County, by the way. Pulaski

01:32:09.779 --> 01:32:13.859
County? Oh, okay. That's south -central, almost

01:32:13.859 --> 01:32:18.500
a little bit to the east. Yeah, St. Robert, Winterwood

01:32:18.500 --> 01:32:24.189
area. Yep. Right on 44 Highway. Yep. Yep, right

01:32:24.189 --> 01:32:26.510
there in the middle of nothing, because you go

01:32:26.510 --> 01:32:29.289
through a lot of nothing to get to it. Oh, my

01:32:29.289 --> 01:32:32.449
gosh. I mean, it's beautiful country. It's also

01:32:32.449 --> 01:32:38.170
part of old Route 66. Yes. Yep. All that 44,

01:32:38.350 --> 01:32:40.270
all the way through Oklahoma, all the way through

01:32:40.270 --> 01:32:43.770
Missouri, Illinois. Yes. Route 66. That's the

01:32:43.770 --> 01:32:47.390
one that Guy Fieri travels in that car. Probably

01:32:47.390 --> 01:32:51.909
doesn't, but anyhow. It's great for a beginning,

01:32:52.069 --> 01:32:54.149
though, isn't it? So, anyhow, thank you guys

01:32:54.149 --> 01:32:58.090
for listening. Have a fantastic evening. Good

01:32:58.090 --> 01:33:01.470
night, assholes. Good night, assholes. Oh, no.

01:33:01.609 --> 01:33:04.850
Looks like the show's over, kids. Mark has explosive

01:33:04.850 --> 01:33:08.529
diarrhea and can't afford a wireless mic. Fear

01:33:08.529 --> 01:33:10.949
not, assholes. They'll be back invading your

01:33:10.949 --> 01:33:11.729
ear holes soon.
