WEBVTT

00:00:18.189 --> 00:00:29.429

listen and recite the daily douchebag pledge.

00:01:03.649 --> 00:01:07.230
And finally, I, Joe or Jane Listener, hereby

00:01:07.230 --> 00:01:09.650
promise to make the trek to Knobloch, Missouri,

00:01:09.829 --> 00:01:12.549
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 --> 00:01:26.549
admit it. Not like all those other guys. We can

00:01:26.549 --> 00:01:30.930
and will lie if it makes the story better. Two

00:01:30.930 --> 00:01:43.069
douchebags and a microphone. We are... Two douchebags

00:01:43.069 --> 00:01:45.129
and microphone in an effort to keep everything

00:01:45.129 --> 00:01:50.310
fresh. We offer you... First world problems.

00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:55.900
What in the devil? My bank is really out of calendars.

00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:58.299
What do they expect me to do? Go to Walmart and

00:01:58.299 --> 00:02:01.099
buy a $3 calendar? This is complete bullshit.

00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:08.639
I am outraged. Strange, but true. On September

00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:12.099
11, 2001, the only known military plane allowed

00:02:12.099 --> 00:02:15.819
to fly was a San Diego to Miami flight delivering

00:02:15.819 --> 00:02:18.919
anti -venom to save a man bitten by a highly

00:02:18.919 --> 00:02:22.139
venomous coagulant snake. The plan was escorted

00:02:22.139 --> 00:02:28.120
by two jet fighters. Jam X. What the hell happened?

00:02:29.300 --> 00:02:35.539
You were the generation of change. You never

00:02:35.539 --> 00:02:39.460
wanted to be one of them. Apathy spoke for you.

00:02:40.699 --> 00:02:45.460
Fuck the man. Fuck the system. What the hell

00:02:45.460 --> 00:02:49.800
happened? The generation of angst. A generation

00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:55.000
of non -compliance is now buying a boat? You're

00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:57.280
really fed up to kill someone who dangled a dollar

00:02:57.280 --> 00:03:01.699
near you? Great job, Xers. Everything's ruined.

00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:10.439
Next up, Things Overheard in Hell. Man, Axl Rose

00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:15.400
is such a great childhood therapist. I hope he

00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:19.840
writes more books. Next time you take a dump,

00:03:19.939 --> 00:03:22.979
listen to two douchebags and a microphone. It's

00:03:22.979 --> 00:03:25.300
been proven in laboratory rats to relax your

00:03:25.300 --> 00:03:39.460
anal canal. Get in cover. Two douchebags and

00:03:39.460 --> 00:03:42.240
microphone. My name is Mark and I am here in

00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:54.830
Kansas City. That was perfect, Rob. Perfect.

00:03:54.870 --> 00:03:58.129
I'm going to start adding that since you have

00:03:58.129 --> 00:04:00.370
that. That's why I keep doing that. Every time

00:04:00.370 --> 00:04:06.349
you don't, I know. Anyhow. Oh, but sometime this

00:04:06.349 --> 00:04:09.169
week, if you get a chance, let me know because

00:04:09.169 --> 00:04:12.150
I got a bunch of stuff I need you to record.

00:04:14.710 --> 00:04:19.790
Cool? I'll let you know. Yeah, I know. I know

00:04:19.790 --> 00:04:22.660
we need to do it. It's a little busy right now.

00:04:22.699 --> 00:04:24.740
Okay, if it's into next week, that's fine. I'll

00:04:24.740 --> 00:04:27.480
do some other stuff. But, man, I have a lot of

00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:30.060
stuff that I think is going to come out very

00:04:30.060 --> 00:04:33.680
well. Anyhow, we'll worry about that later. So,

00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:38.259
anyhow, I have a question for you, Rob. Yes.

00:04:38.819 --> 00:04:41.800
Okay. I think you might do this, too. I think

00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:43.459
a lot of people do, so that's why I'm going to

00:04:43.459 --> 00:04:47.860
go into this. Sometimes, you know, like a transit

00:04:47.860 --> 00:04:49.579
will come up to you and beg for money, right?

00:04:51.789 --> 00:04:53.970
Okay. Do you make them pass the dickhead test

00:04:53.970 --> 00:04:59.730
first? No. Okay, I'll explain. Occasionally,

00:04:59.730 --> 00:05:03.329
I'm not always in the mood to throw an amount

00:05:03.329 --> 00:05:05.910
of money to a person I feel is lying to me or

00:05:05.910 --> 00:05:08.230
going to use it when I get ready to contribute

00:05:08.230 --> 00:05:10.990
to their addiction, whatever it be, right? So

00:05:10.990 --> 00:05:12.629
normally I'm kind of like, ah, fuck you, get

00:05:12.629 --> 00:05:15.310
away from me. But, you know, every now and then.

00:05:15.769 --> 00:05:18.029
And I give to charities. I'm not like that. I'm

00:05:18.029 --> 00:05:19.829
not like anyone, you know, thinking anyone's

00:05:19.829 --> 00:05:21.470
lesser because they're down on their luck or

00:05:21.470 --> 00:05:22.910
nothing like that. I don't believe in that at

00:05:22.910 --> 00:05:25.449
all. I think that everybody has something that

00:05:25.449 --> 00:05:28.350
they're good at and everybody has some good in

00:05:28.350 --> 00:05:30.350
them generally. I mean, there are exceptions.

00:05:30.870 --> 00:05:33.250
So, you know, I'm not like that guy. It's like,

00:05:33.269 --> 00:05:34.750
oh, fuck it, man. They don't deserve anything.

00:05:35.370 --> 00:05:37.949
Some people are in bad situations. Some people

00:05:37.949 --> 00:05:39.509
are treated bad when they're young and stuff

00:05:39.509 --> 00:05:42.189
like that. But anyhow, so the other day I was

00:05:42.189 --> 00:05:44.470
sitting in the magical chair at the city market.

00:05:44.920 --> 00:06:17.160
All right. All right. with my fancy Cubano coffee,

00:06:17.480 --> 00:06:20.680
or so they think. You know, they think it's a

00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:23.779
$10 cup of Cubano, but a Cubano is not. A Cubano

00:06:23.779 --> 00:06:28.139
is really simple coffee. It's like a turban -infused

00:06:28.139 --> 00:06:31.699
cane sugar, but not a whole bunch of it, and

00:06:31.699 --> 00:06:36.720
some special Cuban coffees mixed together, and

00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:39.939
it's really good. It's really simple. So, anyhow,

00:06:40.160 --> 00:06:43.250
they said... That's one of the things I'm going

00:06:43.250 --> 00:06:45.389
to introduce you to when you come up here. So

00:06:45.389 --> 00:06:47.529
I'm sitting there having my Cubano, which is

00:06:47.529 --> 00:06:49.529
my favorite. It's always been my favorite coffee.

00:06:49.709 --> 00:06:52.110
It's just so hard to find a good one here until

00:06:52.110 --> 00:06:54.189
I saw they had it on the menu at the City Market

00:06:54.189 --> 00:06:56.329
Coffee. And I'm like, oh, my God, I got to get

00:06:56.329 --> 00:06:59.589
it. And they make a damn good one. It's not as

00:06:59.589 --> 00:07:02.589
good as Big Mama's in Key West, but it's really,

00:07:02.670 --> 00:07:05.269
really good. So they walk up to me smelling like

00:07:05.269 --> 00:07:08.129
fried shit. And literally, it was making my eyes

00:07:08.129 --> 00:07:11.889
water, you know. You know, and whenever someone

00:07:11.889 --> 00:07:13.810
does that, and then they get in your face, and

00:07:13.810 --> 00:07:17.470
they have like these, just the worst fucking

00:07:17.470 --> 00:07:19.589
breath. You know, they're wanting a donation,

00:07:19.649 --> 00:07:21.209
you know, because it looked like I had money

00:07:21.209 --> 00:07:23.750
to spare, because they think I had a $10 cup

00:07:23.750 --> 00:07:25.709
of coffee, because I saw them eyeballing it,

00:07:25.769 --> 00:07:28.470
you know. They're scouring everywhere going,

00:07:28.569 --> 00:07:31.449
okay, that guy has money. So I'm going to go

00:07:31.449 --> 00:07:34.389
ask, okay. So I decided this would be a perfect

00:07:34.389 --> 00:07:37.860
spot to put my dickhead test to the work. So,

00:07:37.860 --> 00:07:40.860
what I did was, I go through, pilfer through

00:07:40.860 --> 00:07:43.100
my pockets there, and I pull out 75 cents, and

00:07:43.100 --> 00:07:47.180
I tell them, that's all I have, man. And, anyhow,

00:07:47.259 --> 00:07:49.319
the guy thought this was a negotiation ploy,

00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:51.480
which proved to me that he didn't pass the dickhead

00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:54.959
test, right? They were not grateful they got

00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:57.500
75 cents. They wanted more. They expected more.

00:07:57.560 --> 00:08:00.079
They expected me to give them money, which put

00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:05.449
them, no. Uh -uh. So, anyhow. I knew all along,

00:08:05.589 --> 00:08:07.509
you know, if they were humble and appreciated,

00:08:07.790 --> 00:08:10.470
I had three more dollars to give them. And I

00:08:10.470 --> 00:08:13.529
had it in my pocket. But I was deciding, I do

00:08:13.529 --> 00:08:15.910
that dickhead test sometimes. If I'm in a good

00:08:15.910 --> 00:08:18.350
mood, I'm like, you know what? I'm going to spend

00:08:18.350 --> 00:08:23.470
this $3 on shit anyhow, I'm sure. So I'm like,

00:08:23.569 --> 00:08:25.430
okay, I'll just, you know, I'll give it to them.

00:08:25.709 --> 00:08:28.370
But they have to be appreciative and they can't

00:08:28.370 --> 00:08:30.589
think I owe it to them. The woman looks at me

00:08:30.589 --> 00:08:32.509
with a glare and she says, you got an ATM card?

00:08:33.169 --> 00:08:36.360
I said. Yes, I do. Yeah, I know. There you go.

00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:40.279
I know. So she was waiting on me to say, let's

00:08:40.279 --> 00:08:43.100
go get some money. You know, maybe some other

00:08:43.100 --> 00:08:45.100
dummies do this because they feel guilty because

00:08:45.100 --> 00:08:47.139
they're sitting there eating a coffee, or not

00:08:47.139 --> 00:08:48.879
eating a coffee, but drinking a coffee. I'm not

00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:52.899
sure. But because I'm where I'm at in life, I

00:08:52.899 --> 00:08:57.179
am not apologetic, and I don't feel bad. I scratch

00:08:57.179 --> 00:09:00.379
and clog. You know what I mean? I know the feeling,

00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:04.289
brother. Yeah, so I don't owe anybody shit. And

00:09:04.289 --> 00:09:07.490
it really pissed me off. So we sat there to stand

00:09:07.490 --> 00:09:09.990
off for a minute. I get up and walk towards the

00:09:09.990 --> 00:09:12.549
coffee house and they split because I was going

00:09:12.549 --> 00:09:15.490
to have the employees call security. The hobos

00:09:15.490 --> 00:09:18.070
are not supposed to be at the city market harassing

00:09:18.070 --> 00:09:20.990
people during the day. At night, all bets are

00:09:20.990 --> 00:09:23.370
off. But during the day, they are forbidden to

00:09:23.370 --> 00:09:26.370
come in that area. They're the inside area, the

00:09:26.370 --> 00:09:29.669
breezeway. And so I went in the coffee house

00:09:29.669 --> 00:09:32.230
and they took off. So anyhow, but number one,

00:09:32.250 --> 00:09:34.690
they filled the test right off. Number two, that's

00:09:34.690 --> 00:09:38.870
ridiculous thinking it is a negotiation. I mean,

00:09:38.909 --> 00:09:41.789
it's completely ridiculous because a lot of them

00:09:41.789 --> 00:09:43.529
do that. They think it's a negotiation. They

00:09:43.529 --> 00:09:45.970
think if they stand there looking at you that

00:09:45.970 --> 00:09:47.629
you're going to back down and go, you know what,

00:09:47.730 --> 00:09:49.730
I'm just going to give this guy some money, get

00:09:49.730 --> 00:09:53.370
him out of here. I'm like, no, man. And, yeah,

00:09:53.509 --> 00:09:55.070
I did have three more bucks, but they weren't

00:09:55.070 --> 00:09:58.830
going to get it. You know, I'm constantly baffled

00:09:58.830 --> 00:10:01.840
by people's thoughts, you know. They think, you

00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:03.879
know, they should just grab a lot of cash and

00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:05.980
just throw it at them because you're in a different

00:10:05.980 --> 00:10:08.899
spot in your life than them. And that's one of

00:10:08.899 --> 00:10:13.240
the problems. Oh, go ahead. What I do, what I

00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:19.320
do is I just simply tell, you know, we got people

00:10:19.320 --> 00:10:23.240
hanging around Walmart and stuff down here. Oh,

00:10:23.240 --> 00:10:26.419
yeah. You know, and I just simply tell them,

00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:30.139
you know, my job just went to direct deposit.

00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:33.559
I have a debit, you know, I carry a debit card.

00:10:33.620 --> 00:10:36.000
I don't carry cash anymore. You don't normally,

00:10:36.299 --> 00:10:39.039
okay. Well, I did tell them this, you know. I

00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:42.259
don't have any cash. And that's where the, and

00:10:42.259 --> 00:10:45.220
I've had people do it to me. I've had homeless

00:10:45.220 --> 00:10:48.299
do this to me before. Hey, you got an ATM card?

00:10:49.120 --> 00:10:51.240
And so they don't do that to you there, do they?

00:10:52.620 --> 00:10:58.019
They don't have. Well, what I, the part that

00:10:58.019 --> 00:11:02.139
they pick up on, though. I tell them that my

00:11:02.139 --> 00:11:07.639
job is switched to direct deposit. Oh, okay,

00:11:08.320 --> 00:11:10.519
okay. So, like, you're like, I don't know how

00:11:10.519 --> 00:11:13.120
this stuff works. Yeah, I work for a living,

00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:17.299
you know. You could, too. Yes, I got what you're

00:11:17.299 --> 00:11:20.159
saying. That doesn't work up here, and I'll tell

00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:22.460
you why it doesn't work. Too many people. Oh,

00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:25.529
I know. I grew up around it. Yeah, you know what

00:11:25.529 --> 00:11:28.169
I'm talking about. Too many people, this guy's

00:11:28.169 --> 00:11:30.029
down on his luck. Come on, let's go to the ATM.

00:11:30.230 --> 00:11:33.009
Let's get you some money. And too many people

00:11:33.009 --> 00:11:36.830
did that, so they expected it from me. No. Uh

00:11:36.830 --> 00:11:38.549
-uh. I don't owe them shit, and they did not

00:11:38.549 --> 00:11:41.169
get shit. They didn't get that 75 cents either.

00:11:41.730 --> 00:11:45.250
They get what they get, what I have in my pocket.

00:11:45.490 --> 00:11:47.690
Yeah, and the guy said, when I was getting up

00:11:47.690 --> 00:11:50.070
to leave, he goes, you ain't gonna give us the

00:11:50.070 --> 00:11:56.309
75 cents? I said, no. And then I went into the

00:11:56.309 --> 00:11:57.950
City Market Coffee, and then they split because

00:11:57.950 --> 00:11:59.750
they knew I was going to tell on them. But I

00:11:59.750 --> 00:12:02.409
went ahead, and I told the employees there. They

00:12:02.409 --> 00:12:03.970
know me really well. I'm there all the time.

00:12:04.049 --> 00:12:06.149
They went in and called them, and I seen the

00:12:06.149 --> 00:12:09.549
market police or whatever, the market security

00:12:09.549 --> 00:12:13.129
people out there telling them to stay outside

00:12:13.129 --> 00:12:17.909
of the perimeter and don't come back. So, anyhow,

00:12:18.090 --> 00:12:20.230
it was good. You know, I was thinking about maybe,

00:12:20.289 --> 00:12:23.399
like, start making them do a video. I don't know,

00:12:23.460 --> 00:12:26.000
show tunes or something? Because remember, there

00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:27.799
used to be that bum fights. Do you remember bum

00:12:27.799 --> 00:12:33.080
fights on the internet? Yes, yes. Yeah. How about,

00:12:33.220 --> 00:12:35.659
you know, that got shut down because it's brutal

00:12:35.659 --> 00:12:38.159
having people pull out their teeth for fucking

00:12:38.159 --> 00:12:42.960
wine and stuff. I'm not that hardcore. But how

00:12:42.960 --> 00:12:45.320
about if you make them do show tunes? Like say,

00:12:45.460 --> 00:12:49.440
hey, 10 bucks says you can't do Mary Poppins.

00:12:51.460 --> 00:12:56.419
$10 says you can't do Julie Andrews. $10 says

00:12:56.419 --> 00:12:59.700
you can't, in those old boots, tap dance for

00:12:59.700 --> 00:13:02.799
me. Now that would be worth $10, wouldn't it?

00:13:05.320 --> 00:13:08.000
Oh, definitely. Yeah, hell yeah. I might even

00:13:08.000 --> 00:13:10.379
throw a good $20 in on that. But they've got

00:13:10.379 --> 00:13:12.600
to let me video it. That way I can prove to people

00:13:12.600 --> 00:13:16.100
I did it. I go, hey, you know what? I had a skid

00:13:16.100 --> 00:13:18.799
come up to me, and I made him tap dance for it.

00:13:18.860 --> 00:13:22.740
What? Yeah, yeah, I have it on video. You'd be

00:13:22.740 --> 00:13:26.799
a hero, right? People would be like, oh, my God.

00:13:27.019 --> 00:13:31.139
Oh, better yet, if you have your equipment, we

00:13:31.139 --> 00:13:37.879
could put it on the air. You know, yeah, unfortunately,

00:13:38.220 --> 00:13:41.799
Topher wasn't good. If you had your equipment.

00:13:42.240 --> 00:13:44.940
That's why I need to figure out my phone. There's

00:13:44.940 --> 00:13:47.100
a podcast app that you can do on your phone.

00:13:47.159 --> 00:13:50.710
Like, shit, I forgot the name of it. Anyhow,

00:13:50.730 --> 00:13:52.490
there's a podcast that you can do on your phone,

00:13:52.549 --> 00:13:55.090
and I know a guy that does it like that. And

00:13:55.090 --> 00:13:56.870
I could have recorded it like that, but I don't

00:13:56.870 --> 00:13:58.490
know how to do it. I've got to figure out. I

00:13:58.490 --> 00:14:00.409
couldn't get the app open. I forgot the name

00:14:00.409 --> 00:14:02.909
of it. It's just like one word, the name of it.

00:14:02.970 --> 00:14:05.669
And a lot of people use it, and it works fairly

00:14:05.669 --> 00:14:08.370
well, I guess, because my friend Mark, he does

00:14:08.370 --> 00:14:10.750
it. So I could do that, too. Yeah, you could,

00:14:10.789 --> 00:14:14.710
yeah. Let me find the website. You know what,

00:14:14.809 --> 00:14:16.909
yeah, and if you've got some ideas. Under our

00:14:16.909 --> 00:14:21.370
name? Yeah, if you've got some ideas, do them

00:14:21.370 --> 00:14:23.769
right there, and then we'll perfect them here.

00:14:25.289 --> 00:14:28.330
All right. That sounds good. Okay. And also,

00:14:28.490 --> 00:14:30.370
you know what, Rob? I figured out how come I

00:14:30.370 --> 00:14:34.070
feel old sometimes when I do this podcast. You

00:14:34.070 --> 00:14:38.509
know why? Why? I use too much computer paper.

00:14:38.950 --> 00:14:40.950
And you know why I use too much computer paper?

00:14:41.289 --> 00:14:44.250
Because I have to have the print large. That's

00:14:44.250 --> 00:14:51.269
why. Yes. Well, being the Neanderthal I am, I

00:14:51.269 --> 00:14:56.269
have four notebooks in front of me. Four spirals.

00:14:56.429 --> 00:14:59.529
Oh, no, wait a second. One of them is a composite

00:14:59.529 --> 00:15:03.049
book. A composition book. A composition book.

00:15:03.169 --> 00:15:05.029
That's funny because Topher and I was talking

00:15:05.029 --> 00:15:08.409
about how you're intelligent just Tuesday when

00:15:08.409 --> 00:15:10.590
we did the Sports Bastards and Music Creeps.

00:15:10.809 --> 00:15:13.110
And we're like, you know what? Everybody has

00:15:13.110 --> 00:15:15.190
different intelligence, right? Everyone's got

00:15:15.190 --> 00:15:18.029
intelligence here, there, and here. And we're

00:15:18.029 --> 00:15:20.190
talking about how you're a really intelligent

00:15:20.190 --> 00:15:23.870
person. But if it goes to pronouncing a word,

00:15:24.110 --> 00:15:27.529
I'm like this too. And you don't know it. You're

00:15:27.529 --> 00:15:31.250
not really good with words. Okay? Maybe not really

00:15:31.250 --> 00:15:33.529
good with writing. I don't know. But you're good

00:15:33.529 --> 00:15:36.169
at other things. It doesn't mean you're not intelligent.

00:15:36.309 --> 00:15:38.169
You're very intelligent. You're just different

00:15:38.169 --> 00:15:40.809
intelligent than someone like a banker or something.

00:15:41.669 --> 00:15:43.610
And, you know, Topher and I was talking about

00:15:43.610 --> 00:15:45.149
some of the stuff that you come up with and your

00:15:45.149 --> 00:15:47.129
angles, and we love it. We're like, man, Rob's

00:15:47.129 --> 00:15:51.549
fucking, he's gold, you know. So, anyhow. Thank

00:15:51.549 --> 00:15:53.909
you. Yeah, absolutely. Thank you. But, yeah,

00:15:53.909 --> 00:15:56.649
you just said. I'm on my ego here. No, it's true,

00:15:56.730 --> 00:15:59.509
man. I mean, you. You come off very well, we

00:15:59.509 --> 00:16:04.870
think. So, anyhow. And then you said the, I say

00:16:04.870 --> 00:16:07.850
anyhow too much is what I noticed. But I'm going

00:16:07.850 --> 00:16:10.909
to try to stop. But I guess it could be my tagline.

00:16:10.970 --> 00:16:13.169
It's like I come on and go, anyhow, Rob. And

00:16:13.169 --> 00:16:18.200
that's just it. You said Neanderthal, and it

00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:20.440
just sparked me thinking that we're, that's funny.

00:16:20.500 --> 00:16:22.620
We're talking about how intelligent you are.

00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:25.539
So, I was listening to tuning. Oh, yeah. You

00:16:25.539 --> 00:16:28.759
guys are on computers. I'm sitting here pen and

00:16:28.759 --> 00:16:31.179
paper. I know. I couldn't do what you could do.

00:16:31.559 --> 00:16:34.139
You see what I mean? I couldn't sit there and

00:16:34.139 --> 00:16:37.340
write it all down. Well, the thing is, I have

00:16:37.340 --> 00:16:40.379
my phone, so I have my internet. Uh -huh. So,

00:16:40.379 --> 00:16:44.059
I'm good. No, you do fine. I've done it this

00:16:44.059 --> 00:16:46.730
long. Shit, you come up with the best damn stories,

00:16:46.809 --> 00:16:49.730
so you're doing something right. Your algorithm's

00:16:49.730 --> 00:16:51.929
really... Whatever you're doing... I got a few

00:16:51.929 --> 00:16:54.730
good ones tonight, too. Oh, good. We shall get

00:16:54.730 --> 00:16:58.350
into them. So, I was listening to TuneIn for

00:16:58.350 --> 00:17:02.049
the podcast, right? Yeah. And right off the bat,

00:17:02.190 --> 00:17:06.890
our lead commercial is a funeral home. I didn't

00:17:06.890 --> 00:17:10.809
think that we got an advertiser, but a funeral

00:17:10.809 --> 00:17:15.309
home, you know? What happened, Rob? Okay, I did

00:17:15.309 --> 00:17:18.369
not hear that. Yeah, yeah, it was a local one.

00:17:18.430 --> 00:17:20.089
Oh, you probably wouldn't hear it. It was a local

00:17:20.089 --> 00:17:25.089
one. Oh, okay, okay. Yeah, I didn't subscribe.

00:17:25.470 --> 00:17:28.230
I think it's over on the Paseo, if I'm correct.

00:17:28.950 --> 00:17:35.309
Anyhow, so I'm like, you know, is a funeral home?

00:17:35.390 --> 00:17:37.289
I mean, what the hell happened? Are we that demographic?

00:17:37.569 --> 00:17:39.589
Is that it? I mean, I didn't think we were that

00:17:39.589 --> 00:17:48.440
demographic. I know. Kansas City. Kansas City's

00:17:48.440 --> 00:17:52.400
our home. Yeah, you know, now the fine folks

00:17:52.400 --> 00:17:54.160
are going to poke at us even more, you know,

00:17:54.160 --> 00:17:56.960
ruffling our feathers. Hey, a funeral home? That

00:17:56.960 --> 00:17:59.180
makes it even better. Oh, yeah, they're talking

00:17:59.180 --> 00:18:01.000
about a pre -planned funeral. So they're not

00:18:01.000 --> 00:18:02.700
even talking about our parents, Rob. They're

00:18:02.700 --> 00:18:09.279
talking about us. A pre -planned funeral, you

00:18:09.279 --> 00:18:12.599
know. But I was jumping for joy that someone

00:18:12.599 --> 00:18:14.839
wanted to text you. They're named our garbage.

00:18:14.980 --> 00:18:16.680
It was bittersweet. I'm like a funeral home.

00:18:16.759 --> 00:18:19.319
Hey, wait a minute. Someone wanted to be on our

00:18:19.319 --> 00:18:21.940
show, but it's a funeral home prepaid funeral,

00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:24.759
but they still wanted to advertise, you know,

00:18:24.779 --> 00:18:28.700
because, um, why couldn't it be like a sandals,

00:18:28.700 --> 00:18:31.359
all inclusive resort or something sexy like that?

00:18:31.859 --> 00:18:35.039
You know, we'll build up to that. Yeah, I hope

00:18:35.039 --> 00:18:37.839
so. But what I read, the advertising clientele

00:18:37.839 --> 00:18:41.220
have to sign off on the show on TuneIn because

00:18:41.220 --> 00:18:43.940
I know someone that knows, you know who I'm talking

00:18:43.940 --> 00:18:47.299
about, knows TuneIn very well. He deals with

00:18:47.299 --> 00:18:51.460
them. He or she deals with them. And they can

00:18:51.460 --> 00:18:55.599
put an ad at the beginning of the program. So

00:18:55.599 --> 00:19:01.380
I guess our key demo is 190. Is that it? No,

00:19:01.400 --> 00:19:04.740
I mean, no. No, no, no, no, no. I'm just glad

00:19:04.740 --> 00:19:07.559
that someone was like, because we didn't have

00:19:07.559 --> 00:19:10.740
any commercials for a while, but now we had a

00:19:10.740 --> 00:19:13.279
Chipotle, and I thought that was pretty excellent.

00:19:13.960 --> 00:19:16.359
And what was it? Oh, we had a McDonald's in front

00:19:16.359 --> 00:19:18.740
of us. I thought, oh, we cleared McDonald's,

00:19:18.740 --> 00:19:24.640
dude. We cleared the clown. See, I don't get

00:19:24.640 --> 00:19:29.559
any commercials. You don't? No. Oh, you bought

00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:32.670
the premium though. You bought the premium. Well,

00:19:32.730 --> 00:19:38.130
no, I go straight. Oh, I pay like $9 .99 a month.

00:19:38.470 --> 00:19:40.690
You pay not to have those commercials, Rob. That's

00:19:40.690 --> 00:19:42.269
why you don't have them. You bought the premium.

00:19:43.529 --> 00:19:48.170
I have to listen to commercials. No, I go straight

00:19:48.170 --> 00:19:51.890
to our show. Okay, okay. Well, that's why you

00:19:51.890 --> 00:19:56.720
pay $9 .99 a month. Okay, yeah, yeah, iHeart,

00:19:56.759 --> 00:20:01.640
yeah, I do. I pay for that, but okay. I don't

00:20:01.640 --> 00:20:05.200
pay for iHeart. Oh, you don't? No, no, it's not

00:20:05.200 --> 00:20:08.779
iHeart. I've been on a trial basis for like seven

00:20:08.779 --> 00:20:11.640
years, man. Oh, like I used to do with satellite

00:20:11.640 --> 00:20:14.859
radio until I got tired. They never charged me.

00:20:15.839 --> 00:20:20.960
That's fucking awesome. Well, hey, my dad, my

00:20:20.960 --> 00:20:25.319
dad, I grew up having cable TV. Because they

00:20:25.319 --> 00:20:30.599
screwed up at the pole and hooked us up. Yeah,

00:20:30.779 --> 00:20:34.180
my dad didn't pay cable for like 20 years because

00:20:34.180 --> 00:20:38.900
of their screw -up. And then any time it'd go

00:20:38.900 --> 00:20:41.700
down, they'd turn it right back on like we were

00:20:41.700 --> 00:20:45.799
supposed to have it. What I did was, this is

00:20:45.799 --> 00:20:47.680
what everyone told me on the block. I lived in

00:20:47.680 --> 00:20:50.500
Grandview briefly, getting my feet underneath

00:20:50.500 --> 00:20:53.700
me. I had to. And everyone on the block told

00:20:53.700 --> 00:20:55.420
me, he said, you see that guy over there on the

00:20:55.420 --> 00:20:58.420
pole? Go over there, give him $50, and you will

00:20:58.420 --> 00:21:00.359
have cable and never have to pay for it again.

00:21:01.640 --> 00:21:07.700
And I did. He'd hook you up. Yeah, see, the thing

00:21:07.700 --> 00:21:11.660
is, we didn't have to pay nobody. The actual

00:21:11.660 --> 00:21:14.180
cable company did it. Well, I got a year of free

00:21:14.180 --> 00:21:16.599
service for 50 bucks. I was pretty happy with

00:21:16.599 --> 00:21:19.319
it, you know. So, at the time, cable was crazy.

00:21:19.720 --> 00:21:23.759
I watched the very first episode of MTV. The

00:21:23.759 --> 00:21:29.099
very first. Ah, yeah. The M in MTV. The M in

00:21:29.099 --> 00:21:33.299
MTV. I can't. Go ahead. Yeah, the very first.

00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:36.480
No, I just watched the very first day of MTV

00:21:36.480 --> 00:21:39.819
on free cable, you know. That's awesome. Well,

00:21:39.960 --> 00:21:42.440
mine was $50 for a year, so I can't really complain.

00:21:42.779 --> 00:21:46.079
MTV, if anyone doesn't know out there, but evidently

00:21:46.079 --> 00:21:49.039
our demographic is 190, but you have to be a

00:21:49.039 --> 00:21:52.460
little bit younger, like a millennial or a Z

00:21:52.460 --> 00:21:58.240
-er. MTV, M stands for music. Okay? I know they

00:21:58.240 --> 00:22:00.519
don't play it. Which they used to have. They

00:22:00.519 --> 00:22:03.539
used to. Look it up. Look up Nina Blackwell.

00:22:04.160 --> 00:22:07.539
What are some of them? Max Pinfield or something

00:22:07.539 --> 00:22:12.660
like that? Matt Pinfield? Matt Pinfield? Alan...

00:22:12.660 --> 00:22:18.559
The blonde -haired dude kind of reminds me, yeah.

00:22:19.319 --> 00:22:21.160
Yeah, I know who you're talking about, damn it.

00:22:21.200 --> 00:22:23.940
Oh, well, you know what? It doesn't matter, but

00:22:23.940 --> 00:22:26.640
you know there's a fire at the Epcot Center at

00:22:26.640 --> 00:22:31.059
Disney World, Rob? No. It rated higher than the

00:22:31.059 --> 00:22:36.940
Snow White movie that just came out. They want

00:22:36.940 --> 00:22:40.380
to replace the Snow White movie with the Epcot

00:22:40.380 --> 00:22:43.299
Center Fire. All the theaters are calling up

00:22:43.299 --> 00:22:45.720
going, we want the fire. I've been reading that.

00:22:45.920 --> 00:22:49.700
Oh, it flopped. It could not flop anymore. And,

00:22:49.799 --> 00:22:51.980
I mean, they couldn't have flopped any worse

00:22:51.980 --> 00:22:54.799
if they were trying to flop. I mean, that thing

00:22:54.799 --> 00:22:59.180
just went belly up and gone. No more. And from

00:22:59.180 --> 00:23:01.740
what I can tell and what I've read, I understand

00:23:01.740 --> 00:23:04.700
why. Because when you're not worried about talent

00:23:04.700 --> 00:23:07.200
or a script line or nothing, and you're worried

00:23:07.200 --> 00:23:09.180
about trying to send everybody a message, that's

00:23:09.180 --> 00:23:11.559
what happens. People are like going, listen,

00:23:11.779 --> 00:23:14.559
I don't need a message. I know what I believe

00:23:14.559 --> 00:23:17.160
in. I don't need Disney telling me what I believe

00:23:17.160 --> 00:23:21.240
in. So either make a movie or come out with a

00:23:21.240 --> 00:23:25.099
PSA. Make up your fucking mind. But don't tell

00:23:25.099 --> 00:23:27.880
me I have to pay fucking $10 to watch something

00:23:27.880 --> 00:23:30.960
you want to tell me. And I'm not saying whether

00:23:30.960 --> 00:23:33.769
I agree with them or not. This is my personal

00:23:33.769 --> 00:23:36.269
opinion on shoving shit down your throat that

00:23:36.269 --> 00:23:40.390
you don't want. And it works on anything. So

00:23:40.390 --> 00:23:43.549
that is what happens. So I'd rather watch Epcot

00:23:43.549 --> 00:23:47.569
Center Fire myself, would you? Oh, yeah. Yeah,

00:23:47.569 --> 00:23:53.529
it'd be more entertaining. So, anyhow, just to

00:23:53.529 --> 00:23:57.430
prove... It'd be more like a horror movie. Yes.

00:23:57.690 --> 00:24:02.609
People running and screaming. Oh, yeah, yeah.

00:24:02.690 --> 00:24:06.309
Watching the fear in people's eyes running like

00:24:06.309 --> 00:24:09.410
the gazelle from a lion. There's a lot to be

00:24:09.410 --> 00:24:11.410
fun. There's a lot of fun in that, isn't there?

00:24:12.789 --> 00:24:16.970
Oh, definitely. Unless it's 9 -11 or 9 -1, you

00:24:16.970 --> 00:24:19.589
know. But other than that, you know, something

00:24:19.589 --> 00:24:25.750
less serious, very fun. So, anyhow, just to prove

00:24:25.750 --> 00:24:27.910
how cruel people are and we hate all other animals,

00:24:28.069 --> 00:24:30.390
I have definite proof of this, Rob. You know

00:24:30.390 --> 00:24:36.430
why? They have marshmallow peep milk bone dog

00:24:36.430 --> 00:24:44.589
biscuits. Why in the world? I don't think my

00:24:44.589 --> 00:24:48.029
dogs would like it. My dogs are too cool. They

00:24:48.029 --> 00:24:51.069
would probably bite me if I tried to get them.

00:24:51.069 --> 00:24:55.670
My dogs are hooked on bacon strips. Oh, those

00:24:55.670 --> 00:24:57.650
things are... I almost want to eat them. They

00:24:57.650 --> 00:25:01.529
look so good. Yeah, they smell so much like bacon.

00:25:01.819 --> 00:25:03.759
They look delicious, don't they? And they smell

00:25:03.759 --> 00:25:06.079
like bacon. I'm like, man, I want to throw that

00:25:06.079 --> 00:25:08.940
on my cheeseburger so bad. Yeah, yeah, really.

00:25:11.440 --> 00:25:15.119
They're nice and soft, you know. Oh, yeah, they're

00:25:15.119 --> 00:25:18.920
delicious. I like my bacon soft, not crunchy.

00:25:19.839 --> 00:25:22.279
Okay, I differ from you that last night I told

00:25:22.279 --> 00:25:25.640
you Val and I went to Justin Jim's and I had

00:25:25.640 --> 00:25:29.880
a bacon prime steak burger and the bacon was

00:25:29.880 --> 00:25:34.779
crisp. Crisp, crisp. Oh, I loved it. I like crisps.

00:25:34.779 --> 00:25:37.440
Yeah, I don't like it that way. Oh. You wouldn't

00:25:37.440 --> 00:25:40.000
like a cruise then. Well, you wouldn't like bacon

00:25:40.000 --> 00:25:42.059
on a cruise because they crisp the shit out of

00:25:42.059 --> 00:25:44.599
them because they bake them, from what I understand.

00:25:45.119 --> 00:25:46.839
You know, because they put them on big sheet

00:25:46.839 --> 00:25:49.599
pans and bake them because there's like 30 ,000

00:25:49.599 --> 00:25:51.460
hungry animals out there grabbing everything

00:25:51.460 --> 00:25:56.180
up, so they have to. So, anyhow, so, you know,

00:25:56.259 --> 00:25:59.950
this is, I did anyhow again, didn't I? Hey, hey,

00:25:59.950 --> 00:26:03.910
that's when I would go to sausage. Their sausage

00:26:03.910 --> 00:26:05.450
is really good, but you've got to watch out.

00:26:05.890 --> 00:26:09.289
They have turkey sausage on one side and regular

00:26:09.289 --> 00:26:13.130
sausage on the other. I suggest the regular sausage.

00:26:13.130 --> 00:26:16.190
I don't care either. I don't care either. I'll

00:26:16.190 --> 00:26:20.190
eat either. I like turkey. Well, I do too, but

00:26:20.190 --> 00:26:23.619
I just don't like the... turkey sausage on a

00:26:23.619 --> 00:26:25.680
cruise very well. It's got a weird taste, but

00:26:25.680 --> 00:26:28.420
you might like it. Who knows? So, you know, why

00:26:28.420 --> 00:26:30.759
in the world would someone take a perfectly great

00:26:30.759 --> 00:26:34.259
dog biscuit? It's majestic. Milk bone goes back

00:26:34.259 --> 00:26:37.980
to, I don't know, Americana, you know, back in

00:26:37.980 --> 00:26:40.980
the 50s. You know, little Opie was giving his

00:26:40.980 --> 00:26:44.920
kid, his dog, a dog biscuit, right? And it said

00:26:44.920 --> 00:26:47.859
milk bone on it. I mean, why in the world, why

00:26:47.859 --> 00:26:51.480
would you pollute something majestic? And it's

00:26:51.480 --> 00:26:53.680
been around as long as a milk bone dog biscuit

00:26:53.680 --> 00:26:56.599
with a peep. Why would you do that? The only

00:26:56.599 --> 00:26:58.400
reason you do that is because you hate all other

00:26:58.400 --> 00:27:02.599
animals and people. That's why. Yep. In my opinion.

00:27:03.819 --> 00:27:09.880
Okay. So, I mentioned, you know, that I know

00:27:09.880 --> 00:27:12.299
this guy at work, right? Chris. I used to know

00:27:12.299 --> 00:27:15.059
him somewhat. He's good friends with all of my

00:27:15.059 --> 00:27:19.690
close friends. Chris is his name, and we unraveled

00:27:19.690 --> 00:27:22.190
it at work on one break. It began describing

00:27:22.190 --> 00:27:24.750
a Halloween party that I used to host every year

00:27:24.750 --> 00:27:27.690
where he first met his ex -wife, and she was

00:27:27.690 --> 00:27:31.109
a good friend of mine. So anyhow, his name's

00:27:31.109 --> 00:27:33.069
Chris, and we're like, wow, we knew each other

00:27:33.069 --> 00:27:36.589
35 years ago maybe, maybe a little bit longer,

00:27:36.670 --> 00:27:38.829
I don't know. But I used to have Halloween parties

00:27:38.829 --> 00:27:44.930
in Cleveland at the center of the City Hall Center

00:27:44.930 --> 00:27:47.259
downstairs. And he was there, and that's where

00:27:47.259 --> 00:27:50.180
he met his ex -wife, okay? And he was describing

00:27:50.180 --> 00:27:53.680
this, and I'm like, hey, was that in Cleveland,

00:27:53.779 --> 00:27:56.299
Missouri, possibly? Yeah. I'm like, yeah, yeah,

00:27:56.359 --> 00:28:00.039
I was there. So I don't recognize him, and he

00:28:00.039 --> 00:28:02.440
thinks he recognizes me, but we both have long

00:28:02.440 --> 00:28:05.279
hair and look quite a bit different. But he still

00:28:05.279 --> 00:28:08.220
goes to Comic -Con. He still goes to Comic -Con,

00:28:08.259 --> 00:28:10.460
right? So he went this past weekend. All right.

00:28:10.579 --> 00:28:12.940
Okay, so Roger is a really good friend of mine

00:28:12.940 --> 00:28:15.880
and a really close friend with Davey. Davey's

00:28:15.880 --> 00:28:19.000
my bestie, of course. Right, right, right. Okay,

00:28:19.039 --> 00:28:21.019
Chris used to live with Roger before he moved

00:28:21.019 --> 00:28:24.059
out to western Kansas. I mean, he's so close

00:28:24.059 --> 00:28:26.259
to Colorado, whenever he opened up his windows,

00:28:26.339 --> 00:28:28.480
he gets a contact high. He's like right there.

00:28:29.559 --> 00:28:32.619
I know somebody like that. Okay, and he could

00:28:32.619 --> 00:28:35.440
spit on Colorado from his back window. So he's

00:28:35.440 --> 00:28:38.619
like way the hell out there. So Roger came in

00:28:38.619 --> 00:28:41.220
town to stay with Davey and go to the Comic -Con.

00:28:41.660 --> 00:28:44.920
So I told Chris. I said, when you see Roger,

00:28:45.039 --> 00:28:47.819
if you see Roger, smack him in the nuts and scream

00:28:47.819 --> 00:28:52.579
my name. I did him right, didn't I? I did him

00:28:52.579 --> 00:28:54.980
right, didn't I? Yes. Are you proud of me, Rob?

00:28:55.160 --> 00:28:59.279
Yes. Yes. Right in the old nadsickle. Ooh! And

00:28:59.279 --> 00:29:05.200
then... Mark! I don't know if he did it. Chris

00:29:05.200 --> 00:29:07.980
is a nice guy. He's not as mean as me. But he

00:29:07.980 --> 00:29:12.440
might have. No, I would have. I told Davey that.

00:29:12.619 --> 00:29:16.160
I was like... I said, hey, man, Roger's going

00:29:16.160 --> 00:29:17.799
to get a smack in the balls, and then he's going

00:29:17.799 --> 00:29:21.980
to scream my name. He's like, oh, perfect. So

00:29:21.980 --> 00:29:24.200
Davey planned on sitting back and watching. He

00:29:24.200 --> 00:29:26.839
knew it was going to happen. I haven't talked

00:29:26.839 --> 00:29:29.220
to anyone yet, so we'll see what happens. I hope

00:29:29.220 --> 00:29:32.500
they ran into him. And I love Roger. That's why

00:29:32.500 --> 00:29:36.440
I had his nut smacked for me. You'd expect that,

00:29:36.480 --> 00:29:38.799
right? if someone I knew was going to be in the

00:29:38.799 --> 00:29:41.680
same place. Oh, definitely. Oh, yeah, you know

00:29:41.680 --> 00:29:44.819
I got your back. Yeah, yeah, you'd be like, ah,

00:29:44.839 --> 00:29:47.079
fucking Mark. And then you'd find a way to get

00:29:47.079 --> 00:29:48.740
me back like that, right? You'd find another

00:29:48.740 --> 00:29:50.700
situation, have someone crack me in the nuts,

00:29:50.779 --> 00:29:53.799
and then scream your name. Rob Rad! Yeah. Okay,

00:29:53.940 --> 00:29:55.640
hey, thanks. Don't miss that eye. That was pretty

00:29:55.640 --> 00:29:58.200
cool. My balls hurt like hell, but thank you,

00:29:58.220 --> 00:30:01.769
man. I know you love me. We did that shit back

00:30:01.769 --> 00:30:05.410
in the day, and we got ass paddling today. Oh,

00:30:05.410 --> 00:30:08.369
yes, yes, yes. We do have ass paddlings, but

00:30:08.369 --> 00:30:10.849
I don't know if I have them printed out. Probably

00:30:10.849 --> 00:30:15.410
not ready. You know what? We'll get to them next.

00:30:15.430 --> 00:30:18.009
Our mentality is like that, is what I'm saying.

00:30:18.009 --> 00:30:20.529
Yes, I wonder if I have them. Damn, I had a fucking

00:30:20.529 --> 00:30:24.289
ton of them. Oh, well, you know what? I have

00:30:24.289 --> 00:30:26.170
part of them written out up here. Yeah, yeah,

00:30:26.190 --> 00:30:29.839
we need some. I need to design my... I need to

00:30:29.839 --> 00:30:31.500
come up with a different deal on my computer,

00:30:31.599 --> 00:30:33.519
but that's boring, so I won't even talk about

00:30:33.519 --> 00:30:39.140
it anymore. We turn to you, Rob. Okay. Well,

00:30:39.359 --> 00:30:46.240
I'm going back to my friends at KHMO AM 1070.

00:30:46.859 --> 00:30:52.099
Uh -huh. They put together a list of the top

00:30:52.099 --> 00:30:56.819
seven outdoor concert venues in Missouri. Oh,

00:30:56.819 --> 00:31:01.569
God bless them. I got to hear this. Yes. Go ahead.

00:31:02.029 --> 00:31:05.490
And this is one I, and the first one, number

00:31:05.490 --> 00:31:11.049
seven, I keep forgetting to mention. Hmm, RC

00:31:11.049 --> 00:31:15.829
Cola. It's Capital Region MU Healthcare Amphitheater.

00:31:17.150 --> 00:31:19.450
What is it? I don't think I've ever heard of

00:31:19.450 --> 00:31:23.750
it or been there. Capital Region MU Healthcare

00:31:23.750 --> 00:31:28.619
Amphitheater. I guess that's cool. I'm from Ellis

00:31:28.619 --> 00:31:31.680
Porter Park in Jefferson City. Oh, Jefferson

00:31:31.680 --> 00:31:37.099
City. There are 500 jets in Jefferson City. And

00:31:37.099 --> 00:31:48.539
they get a lot of big venues. That's cool. You

00:31:48.539 --> 00:31:53.599
okay? Yeah, give me a second here. Okay, hang

00:31:53.599 --> 00:31:55.119
on. Let me adjust the mic while you're doing

00:31:55.119 --> 00:32:01.019
that. I'm good. I'm good. Oh, okay. Okay. Okay.

00:32:02.599 --> 00:32:08.740
At number six, Chesterfield Amphitheater. Where

00:32:08.740 --> 00:32:14.160
is that? St. Louis? Chesterfield, Missouri, which

00:32:14.160 --> 00:32:19.339
is outside St. Louis. Okay. Okay. Oh, I've been

00:32:19.339 --> 00:32:22.339
there. Anyhow, go ahead. It is a nice theater.

00:32:24.750 --> 00:32:27.890
Okay, you're going to like number five. Okay.

00:32:27.990 --> 00:32:32.690
We have talked about this place quite a few times.

00:32:33.609 --> 00:32:39.029
Oh, go ahead. Black Oak Amphitheater in Lampy,

00:32:39.029 --> 00:32:42.349
Missouri. That is the best damn venue I've ever

00:32:42.349 --> 00:32:47.589
been to. And I put it at number five. Yeah, I

00:32:47.589 --> 00:32:49.789
mean, I'll tell the story after you're done real

00:32:49.789 --> 00:32:52.890
quick, okay? Why it's my favorite. So go ahead.

00:32:54.979 --> 00:32:58.460
Okay, coming in at number four, and you know

00:32:58.460 --> 00:33:02.059
I'm going to love this one. Oh, yeah? Go ahead.

00:33:02.119 --> 00:33:07.079
I think I know. Ozarks Amphitheater in Camden,

00:33:07.079 --> 00:33:09.680
Missouri. Now, Rob can spit on that from where

00:33:09.680 --> 00:33:14.019
he's at right now. Yes, I can. Well, pretty close.

00:33:14.279 --> 00:33:17.200
You can piss on it, right, on a good day? It's

00:33:17.200 --> 00:33:19.359
like a half mile from it. On a good streaming

00:33:19.359 --> 00:33:22.099
day, you can piss on it, right, from where you're

00:33:22.099 --> 00:33:24.690
at? Oh, definitely. There you go, a couple Bud

00:33:24.690 --> 00:33:30.289
Lights, right? Or no, no, no, Bush Lights. Natty

00:33:30.289 --> 00:33:32.490
Light. Oh, Natty Light. Oh, I love Natty Light.

00:33:32.829 --> 00:33:36.369
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Natty Light. The beer of gods.

00:33:37.670 --> 00:33:41.789
Hey, it's good. Okay, coming in at number three,

00:33:42.089 --> 00:33:47.150
Hollywood Casino Amphitheater in St. Louis. Been

00:33:47.150 --> 00:33:49.309
there. That was one of my favorites. I saw Deep

00:33:49.309 --> 00:33:52.450
Purple and Alice Cooper there. It was a great

00:33:52.450 --> 00:33:56.140
concert. That thing is designed perfectly, Rob.

00:33:57.319 --> 00:34:00.599
You don't have a bad seat in the house. And even

00:34:00.599 --> 00:34:05.019
the grass up above us, all they could see really

00:34:05.019 --> 00:34:06.779
well, too. You'd have to see how they designed

00:34:06.779 --> 00:34:09.739
it and how it gradually goes down. But everybody

00:34:09.739 --> 00:34:12.039
had a great... It was fantastic. I love that

00:34:12.039 --> 00:34:13.860
theater. And it's right on the river, the Missouri

00:34:13.860 --> 00:34:19.820
River. Yep. Okay, and coming in at number two.

00:34:21.219 --> 00:34:27.380
The new... Thunder Ridge Nature Arena. Oh, you

00:34:27.380 --> 00:34:30.340
were talking about that. Just south of Branson.

00:34:32.559 --> 00:34:37.840
In arm's reach of Arkansas. Yeah, that's where...

00:34:37.840 --> 00:34:42.119
The Rolling Stones played. Rolling Stones, yes.

00:34:42.480 --> 00:34:45.420
Yeah, they've had a lot of big... Actually, their

00:34:45.420 --> 00:34:50.960
first concert was Garth Brooks. That's the one

00:34:50.960 --> 00:34:55.280
that the owner of Bass Pro Shops owns. Yes, yes,

00:34:55.559 --> 00:34:59.739
yes. The owner of Bass Pro owns it. Richest man

00:34:59.739 --> 00:35:06.500
in Missouri. For real. Yes, yes. Okay, covenant

00:35:06.500 --> 00:35:11.059
number one. You're going to love this one. Okay.

00:35:13.099 --> 00:35:16.960
Starlight Theater in Kansas City. I love Starlight.

00:35:17.889 --> 00:35:22.110
Yeah, it is beautiful. It's on the hills. It's

00:35:22.110 --> 00:35:23.989
on the Blue River Hills, kind of like where I'm

00:35:23.989 --> 00:35:28.070
at here. But up the road, quite a ways up the

00:35:28.070 --> 00:35:30.190
road, it's a beautiful park. And you've been

00:35:30.190 --> 00:35:33.610
there, right? Yeah, it's just outside Swope Park.

00:35:33.929 --> 00:35:37.510
Yeah, it is a gorgeous theater. I saw Soundgarden

00:35:37.510 --> 00:35:41.670
there three days before he allegedly hung himself.

00:35:41.670 --> 00:35:43.809
And I'm talking about Chris Cornell. And it was

00:35:43.809 --> 00:35:46.610
a fantastic concert. It was a hot, I think, I'm

00:35:46.610 --> 00:35:48.230
pretty sure it was August, a hot August night.

00:35:49.050 --> 00:35:52.429
And, I mean, he was on it. I mean, I would say

00:35:52.429 --> 00:35:54.710
that guy's not depressed, but I don't know. You

00:35:54.710 --> 00:35:56.309
know, I don't know depression things. Yeah, you

00:35:56.309 --> 00:36:01.070
talked about that once. Yeah, it was really hard

00:36:01.070 --> 00:36:03.969
to believe. I mean, he was, like, giving stuff

00:36:03.969 --> 00:36:06.030
to children in the front row and stuff because

00:36:06.030 --> 00:36:08.590
Soundgarden was one of those groups like KISS

00:36:08.590 --> 00:36:11.929
where... The parents were into them so much,

00:36:11.969 --> 00:36:13.909
they wanted to introduce their children to them.

00:36:14.889 --> 00:36:17.150
And there's a lot of children there that were

00:36:17.150 --> 00:36:20.469
watching it with their parents, like KISS concerts.

00:36:20.750 --> 00:36:24.130
And that's why KISS quit cussing on their concerts,

00:36:24.170 --> 00:36:27.070
because they knew that it was parents showing

00:36:27.070 --> 00:36:30.170
their kids KISS, because they used to cuss a

00:36:30.170 --> 00:36:34.190
lot in their concert. So, anyhow, very cool.

00:36:34.230 --> 00:36:38.389
Well, I told you how I went to their film world.

00:36:38.860 --> 00:36:42.179
farewell concert, Kiss's farewell concert back

00:36:42.179 --> 00:36:48.239
in 2000. Uh -huh. I took my steps up. He was

00:36:48.239 --> 00:36:53.300
like 13, 12, 13. Yep. And I saw their farewell

00:36:53.300 --> 00:36:56.280
concert. I saw their farewell concert, I think

00:36:56.280 --> 00:37:01.659
it was Kemper, in 99. So they had a couple of

00:37:01.659 --> 00:37:05.280
them. I came at Sandstone. Okay. Stone Temple

00:37:05.280 --> 00:37:07.989
Pilots opened up for him. And they did not have

00:37:07.989 --> 00:37:10.369
a good night. I saw Stone Temple Pilots open

00:37:10.369 --> 00:37:12.989
up for Aerosmith, and they stole the show. But

00:37:12.989 --> 00:37:15.809
the night, I think maybe Wyland maybe had some

00:37:15.809 --> 00:37:18.429
issues that night or something. But when they

00:37:18.429 --> 00:37:21.550
opened up for Kiss, they sucked. They sounded

00:37:21.550 --> 00:37:24.329
horrible, and they looked horrible. Actually,

00:37:24.329 --> 00:37:27.889
I'm thinking they had Sticks and Ted Nugent when

00:37:27.889 --> 00:37:32.309
I seen it. That's what I'm thinking. I know Sweaty

00:37:32.309 --> 00:37:35.559
Teddy was with them. I know that. Oh, yeah. Yep,

00:37:35.579 --> 00:37:37.699
a lot of energy. But I'm thinking Stakes may

00:37:37.699 --> 00:37:42.980
have been, too. I'm not sure. Okay, cool. Yeah,

00:37:43.039 --> 00:37:46.039
that would have been a great concert. Okay, real

00:37:46.039 --> 00:37:49.039
quick. Black Oak Amphitheater. I was introduced

00:37:49.039 --> 00:37:50.860
to it. I went to see Ozzy for, I don't know,

00:37:50.900 --> 00:37:53.059
the 10th time that year or whatever. And he was

00:37:53.059 --> 00:37:55.559
playing at smaller venues. And my understanding

00:37:55.559 --> 00:37:58.820
is he had him a lake house at Table Rock Lake.

00:37:58.880 --> 00:38:00.300
And they're going to spend like a week there

00:38:00.300 --> 00:38:04.280
on vacation. People found out about that, that

00:38:04.280 --> 00:38:06.440
we're booking it, and they said, hey, why don't

00:38:06.440 --> 00:38:08.099
you come play at the Black Oak Amphitheater one

00:38:08.099 --> 00:38:09.639
night, and we'll give you so much money. They're

00:38:09.639 --> 00:38:14.639
like, okay, sure. So it was Ozzy with Alice in

00:38:14.639 --> 00:38:17.079
Chains opening up, and Alice in Chains just hit

00:38:17.079 --> 00:38:20.380
big with Man in the Box. There was not one rock

00:38:20.380 --> 00:38:22.480
radio station in America that didn't play that

00:38:22.480 --> 00:38:25.179
at least once every hour. That thing was huge.

00:38:25.300 --> 00:38:28.679
People were going nuts over it. So I make the

00:38:28.679 --> 00:38:31.960
trek down there. And I'm in the seats. I'm a

00:38:31.960 --> 00:38:35.300
little ways back there because that place was

00:38:35.300 --> 00:38:37.360
sold out. And I was kind of surprised because

00:38:37.360 --> 00:38:39.119
it's in the middle of nowhere, right? Pretty

00:38:39.119 --> 00:38:45.440
much. Yeah. Yeah, definitely. It's in the middle

00:38:45.440 --> 00:38:47.519
of nowhere. It's in a bunch of huge hills, small

00:38:47.519 --> 00:38:50.920
mountains, pretty much a mountainside. And it's

00:38:50.920 --> 00:38:53.079
very hard to get to in a winding road and all

00:38:53.079 --> 00:38:57.559
this stuff. So I go there and a friend of mine

00:38:57.559 --> 00:39:01.860
and we're watching the concert. And I see this

00:39:01.860 --> 00:39:05.579
one guy. And listen, I say hill jack lovingly.

00:39:05.579 --> 00:39:07.619
I'm from the sticks. I lived in the sticks, okay?

00:39:07.820 --> 00:39:12.639
So this hill rod. You forget I lived down there

00:39:12.639 --> 00:39:15.739
before I moved up here. Yeah, okay. I say this

00:39:15.739 --> 00:39:18.159
lovingly. I know exactly what you're talking

00:39:18.159 --> 00:39:21.960
about. We call each other hill rods. So anyhow,

00:39:22.179 --> 00:39:25.940
this hill rod, there's like this 50 -foot cliff,

00:39:26.119 --> 00:39:28.949
and that was the grass section. Up on the top.

00:39:29.050 --> 00:39:31.190
And they changed it when it went to Black Oak.

00:39:31.250 --> 00:39:34.750
It was Swiss Villa Amphitheater then. And I see

00:39:34.750 --> 00:39:39.130
this hill rod just fucking jump off of that son

00:39:39.130 --> 00:39:40.969
of a bitch. Like I said, I was a little ways

00:39:40.969 --> 00:39:45.949
up there. And jumped right into a seat and spun

00:39:45.949 --> 00:39:48.630
himself all the way down to like somewhere third

00:39:48.630 --> 00:39:53.030
or fourth row. And these security cops are like

00:39:53.030 --> 00:39:54.670
looking. They couldn't find him. I'm like, okay,

00:39:54.809 --> 00:39:57.269
all right. Then another guy does it. He gets

00:39:57.269 --> 00:39:59.320
away with it. I'm like, how the fuck are these

00:39:59.320 --> 00:40:01.440
guys doing that? Someone's going to break their

00:40:01.440 --> 00:40:05.199
neck. Sure enough, the fourth one, he went off

00:40:05.199 --> 00:40:08.519
in a stretcher. The fifth one went off in a stretcher.

00:40:09.039 --> 00:40:11.340
The sixth one, I think, made it because me and

00:40:11.340 --> 00:40:15.199
Mel was counting it. My friend Mel, she was like,

00:40:15.199 --> 00:40:18.099
hey, you missed seven. Oh, that guy laying there?

00:40:18.199 --> 00:40:22.860
Yeah, yeah, yeah, seven. And I'm like, this is

00:40:22.860 --> 00:40:27.539
the coolest shit ever. And anyhow, we're like

00:40:27.539 --> 00:40:29.960
going, the concert was great, but what was better

00:40:29.960 --> 00:40:32.699
was the crowd. It was like when I watched Leonard

00:40:32.699 --> 00:40:35.300
Skinner. I love nights like that. Oh, it was

00:40:35.300 --> 00:40:37.159
fantastic. I love nights like that. Watch the

00:40:37.159 --> 00:40:40.739
crowd. Oh, my God. It was the best crowd watching

00:40:40.739 --> 00:40:43.460
I'd ever done. But it got annoying because you

00:40:43.460 --> 00:40:46.860
kept turning around not watching the concert.

00:40:46.960 --> 00:40:50.380
And the thing is, is if I was Ozzy and Zach and

00:40:50.380 --> 00:40:52.659
everybody, I'd be like, those motherfuckers stole

00:40:52.659 --> 00:40:55.909
the show. But anyhow, about half of it. About

00:40:55.909 --> 00:40:57.630
halfway through Aussie, because they didn't jump

00:40:57.630 --> 00:40:59.489
down during Alice in Chains. They jumped down

00:40:59.489 --> 00:41:01.469
during Aussie. About halfway through Aussie,

00:41:01.550 --> 00:41:04.610
they formed a human shield up there. And they

00:41:04.610 --> 00:41:09.449
couldn't jump anymore. And I'm surprised one

00:41:09.449 --> 00:41:11.710
of the security didn't fall off of the cliff.

00:41:11.829 --> 00:41:14.730
I was thinking, those hill rods are just going

00:41:14.730 --> 00:41:17.949
to fucking push them off and jump. But now that

00:41:17.949 --> 00:41:19.750
ended it, I looked up there and I seen a bunch

00:41:19.750 --> 00:41:21.530
of blue shirts. And they're all standing there

00:41:21.530 --> 00:41:23.469
with their arms crossed. You ain't getting out

00:41:23.469 --> 00:41:25.840
of here, son. You ain't going to get out of here.

00:41:25.880 --> 00:41:27.139
The only thing you can get out of here is a black

00:41:27.139 --> 00:41:29.480
eye and a broken leg. Well, I don't know. You

00:41:29.480 --> 00:41:31.179
might as well go jump. You'll get that that way,

00:41:31.199 --> 00:41:35.639
too. But, anyhow. They probably did Narcan back

00:41:35.639 --> 00:41:39.440
then, too. Yeah. This was before Narcan. A lot

00:41:39.440 --> 00:41:41.940
of people took their last breath that night.

00:41:41.940 --> 00:41:43.940
I know. That's what I'm saying. Before Narcan.

00:41:44.280 --> 00:41:47.139
Yeah, yeah. A lot of people did not show up to

00:41:47.139 --> 00:41:50.400
the next concert. Oh, and then there's the guy

00:41:50.400 --> 00:41:53.099
arguing with his girlfriend in the middle of

00:41:53.099 --> 00:41:55.449
the road. And there's no lights out there, right?

00:41:55.530 --> 00:41:58.570
And it's a winding road at night. And he's out

00:41:58.570 --> 00:42:01.210
there screaming, you fucking slut, you bitch,

00:42:01.269 --> 00:42:03.230
you cunt. And I'm like going, what the fuck?

00:42:03.449 --> 00:42:06.409
I turn on my brights, his shirt's off. He's like

00:42:06.409 --> 00:42:09.150
fucking acting like he's going to swing at her.

00:42:09.230 --> 00:42:12.030
And she's going, fuck you, Jerome, fuck you,

00:42:12.050 --> 00:42:14.190
or whatever his name was, I don't know. And it

00:42:14.190 --> 00:42:16.989
was crazy. And I'm like going, this shit is going

00:42:16.989 --> 00:42:19.530
on here. And they're walking back and forth and

00:42:19.530 --> 00:42:22.780
cars are slamming on their brakes. I can see

00:42:22.780 --> 00:42:26.039
it. Oh, my God. No, his name was JJ, not Jerome.

00:42:26.179 --> 00:42:29.300
I remember it well. JJ. JJ, you get the hell

00:42:29.300 --> 00:42:31.559
out of here. I'm going to have so -and -so come

00:42:31.559 --> 00:42:34.420
get me, and you don't even bother coming home.

00:42:34.719 --> 00:42:37.960
And I'm like, what a son of a bitch. Me and my

00:42:37.960 --> 00:42:39.719
friend were looking at each other going, does

00:42:39.719 --> 00:42:42.099
this shit happen here all the time? Because if

00:42:42.099 --> 00:42:46.340
it is, we're coming back. They almost got hit

00:42:46.340 --> 00:42:48.300
like 10 times because people are leaving the

00:42:48.300 --> 00:42:50.699
concert. And they're right around that first

00:42:50.699 --> 00:42:53.440
really big curve there where there's a cliff

00:42:53.440 --> 00:42:56.800
and the lake. You know what I'm talking about?

00:42:57.619 --> 00:43:02.260
I think I do. Yes. There's a really heavy...

00:43:02.880 --> 00:43:05.260
I've been there. Yeah, I think I do. There's

00:43:05.260 --> 00:43:07.179
a really sharp turn. On the left is Table Rock

00:43:07.179 --> 00:43:10.800
Lake, a big, huge drop -off and a bunch of trees.

00:43:11.139 --> 00:43:13.780
And on the right is another cliff. Yeah. They

00:43:13.780 --> 00:43:15.260
were in the middle of that while people were

00:43:15.260 --> 00:43:17.280
driving. You know, the traffic jam was driving

00:43:17.280 --> 00:43:18.920
around there because that's the only way out.

00:43:19.119 --> 00:43:20.920
And they're in the middle of the road screaming

00:43:20.920 --> 00:43:25.900
at each other. In the worst spot. Yeah. And we're

00:43:25.900 --> 00:43:27.880
sitting there going, if this shit happens down

00:43:27.880 --> 00:43:31.110
here, I am going to scour. And find these concerts

00:43:31.110 --> 00:43:32.769
because the internet wasn't really around then.

00:43:32.849 --> 00:43:35.429
It was, but not like this. You know, they had

00:43:35.429 --> 00:43:37.969
like Windows NT or some shit like that or 95

00:43:37.969 --> 00:43:41.030
or whatever. So, anyhow, you really couldn't

00:43:41.030 --> 00:43:43.010
get concert tickets on it or nothing like that

00:43:43.010 --> 00:43:47.269
yet. So, I had to scour. You had to have a desktop.

00:43:47.769 --> 00:43:56.210
Yeah, I used to call down to Big Dog. Big Dog.

00:43:57.059 --> 00:43:59.420
Was it out of Joplin or Springfield or something?

00:43:59.760 --> 00:44:03.380
Yeah, out of Joplin. Okay. Yeah. I knew a guy

00:44:03.380 --> 00:44:05.920
that worked there. I used to live in Joplin.

00:44:06.500 --> 00:44:10.019
Yeah. Back about the time that station started.

00:44:10.760 --> 00:44:14.300
Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. A guy that worked

00:44:14.300 --> 00:44:17.340
there, I used to call him up and go, hey, look

00:44:17.340 --> 00:44:19.239
at the concert wire down there because Joplin

00:44:19.239 --> 00:44:21.980
had the ones down there. And it was like Big

00:44:21.980 --> 00:44:32.039
Dog 106. Does that sound about right? I don't

00:44:32.039 --> 00:44:34.360
think it's around anymore. It turned into a different

00:44:34.360 --> 00:44:37.639
station, I think. But I used to call down there

00:44:37.639 --> 00:44:40.079
to find out what concerts were going by the Swiss

00:44:40.079 --> 00:44:44.099
Villa Amphitheater at the time. And are you looking

00:44:44.099 --> 00:44:49.840
it up? Yeah, I'm looking it up. All right. D

00:44:49.840 --> 00:44:53.840
-O -G. It's going to be interesting to see if

00:44:53.840 --> 00:44:58.659
it's still around. 97 .9. I was way off on the

00:44:58.659 --> 00:45:07.500
numbers, but Big Dog still around? Hold up on

00:45:07.500 --> 00:45:10.800
Google. Okay. They've been there 30 plus years.

00:45:11.039 --> 00:45:14.880
Yeah. Yeah. They're up and running. Yeah. It's

00:45:14.880 --> 00:45:17.559
the one with the bulldog with the spike collar.

00:45:17.860 --> 00:45:20.860
Yeah. The same logo they had all these years.

00:45:20.920 --> 00:45:25.159
Wow. Yes. Yes. Okay. Yeah. Big dog. Yeah. Okay.

00:45:25.219 --> 00:45:28.159
I was living down there about the time that station

00:45:28.159 --> 00:45:31.309
fired up. It was a good station. They were balling

00:45:31.309 --> 00:45:33.349
hard for a long time. They probably still do.

00:45:33.429 --> 00:45:35.150
They're still down there. But I used to call

00:45:35.150 --> 00:45:38.710
my friend down there. And anyhow, he went by

00:45:38.710 --> 00:45:41.250
Jer. His name is Jerry. Anyhow, he wasn't an

00:45:41.250 --> 00:45:44.829
on -air guy, but he was like, he did various

00:45:44.829 --> 00:45:47.090
technical stuff and some other things. And he

00:45:47.090 --> 00:45:50.889
did it for a few outlets down there. But anyhow,

00:45:51.070 --> 00:45:53.690
because it was a very small group that owned

00:45:53.690 --> 00:45:56.670
it. And they own like four stations, 2AM, 2FM.

00:45:56.789 --> 00:46:01.219
And he worked for them. And anyhow, I would call

00:46:01.219 --> 00:46:04.099
him up and I'd go, hey, what concerts are going

00:46:04.099 --> 00:46:07.400
to Swiss Villa? And he would tell me. So that's

00:46:07.400 --> 00:46:09.920
how I found out about these things. Generally,

00:46:09.980 --> 00:46:12.280
I found out about Swiss Villa because it was

00:46:12.280 --> 00:46:14.860
advertised up here in Kansas City. I didn't even

00:46:14.860 --> 00:46:17.320
know Swiss Villa existed until that concert.

00:46:18.019 --> 00:46:20.099
So anyhow, you know what? We're really late.

00:46:20.139 --> 00:46:23.780
Let's take our first break, Rob. I was just taking

00:46:23.780 --> 00:46:27.780
the same time. You watched the news. It looks

00:46:27.780 --> 00:46:31.780
grim. Is an apocalypse inevitable? We suggest

00:46:31.780 --> 00:46:34.940
you download all our podcasts beforehand and

00:46:34.940 --> 00:46:38.800
have multiple mobile chargers. We have the post

00:46:38.800 --> 00:46:44.579
-apocalypse. Morse code is an essential must

00:46:44.579 --> 00:46:47.619
-know post -apocalypse. Go to a library or look

00:46:47.619 --> 00:46:51.260
it up online. Learn Morse code. This code could

00:46:51.260 --> 00:46:54.190
save your life. Many survivors have learned Norse

00:46:54.190 --> 00:46:56.650
code to alert other dwellers of possible danger

00:46:56.650 --> 00:46:59.389
or where there could be clean water or their

00:46:59.389 --> 00:47:03.349
whereabouts. Yes, it's true. Mark is an old bastard.

00:47:03.869 --> 00:47:06.949
It's also true that Mark uses a lot of ibuprofen.

00:47:07.429 --> 00:47:10.570
But Mark would like to tell you, if you see any

00:47:10.570 --> 00:47:14.309
pictures of him roofing ibuprofen, it's obviously

00:47:14.309 --> 00:47:16.730
fake and you're to take the pictures and tear

00:47:16.730 --> 00:47:27.500
them up immediately. Oh Lord, that man just sawed

00:47:27.500 --> 00:47:31.179
a puppy in half. Hey there, don't worry. I have

00:47:31.179 --> 00:47:39.460
a clown nose. Oh no! That drunk guy just hit

00:47:39.460 --> 00:47:45.800
my child. It is okay. I have a clown nose. Clown

00:47:45.800 --> 00:47:48.460
nose. Just put one on and you can do anything.

00:47:48.920 --> 00:47:51.659
Want to run for office? Murder people in public?

00:47:51.860 --> 00:47:56.989
Just grab a clown nose and bam! Clown doses are

00:47:56.989 --> 00:47:58.690
sold at gag stores online and pedophile conventions.

00:47:58.909 --> 00:48:03.050
Grab one today and make magic happen. The apocalypse

00:48:03.050 --> 00:48:06.829
just happened. You don't know what to do. You

00:48:06.829 --> 00:48:09.590
don't know where to go. But we can tell you what

00:48:09.590 --> 00:48:14.929
you can eat. Hi all, this is Mark here. I'm usually

00:48:14.929 --> 00:48:17.309
the one telling you what to eat during an apocalypse.

00:48:18.150 --> 00:48:21.130
Well, this time I decided to go the other way.

00:48:22.110 --> 00:48:24.230
You ever consider just going to ground zero and

00:48:24.230 --> 00:48:26.340
saying fuck it? Do you really want to be the

00:48:26.340 --> 00:48:28.780
guy running around looking for radioactive deer,

00:48:28.940 --> 00:48:32.000
guessing whether water is not contaminated or

00:48:32.000 --> 00:48:35.480
not? No food, no shelter, no nothing. Oh, no.

00:48:35.559 --> 00:48:37.260
There's a strong argument that says, you know

00:48:37.260 --> 00:48:40.400
what? Let's just go to Crown Zero and see what's

00:48:40.400 --> 00:48:46.139
for us after. Just a thought. Hey, look. I think

00:48:46.139 --> 00:48:48.360
we found land. Oh, my God. I think we're safe.

00:48:49.480 --> 00:48:57.559
Oh, no. It's an island of horrible jokes. Elevator

00:48:57.559 --> 00:49:10.920
music is horrible. On so many levels. Hello,

00:49:11.179 --> 00:49:15.139
this is Satan. You might know me from my pet

00:49:15.139 --> 00:49:20.019
name, Inflation. I'm here to tell you that there's

00:49:20.019 --> 00:49:23.730
no better way to relax than... Listened to two

00:49:23.730 --> 00:49:27.530
douchebags in microphone by a nice warm fire

00:49:27.530 --> 00:49:31.110
at night. I sit there and I reflect on all the

00:49:31.110 --> 00:49:49.090
souls I burned that day. Enjoy. To radiation.

00:49:49.630 --> 00:49:54.070
Watch him glow. Watch Rob Rand jump up 25 feet

00:49:54.070 --> 00:49:57.590
and grab birds out of thin air with his mouth.

00:49:57.769 --> 00:50:02.349
With his mouth! Rob can now be rented for children's

00:50:02.349 --> 00:50:06.070
parties and bar men's fests. That's right. Come

00:50:06.070 --> 00:50:09.070
on and rent you a Rob today. That's right. Come

00:50:09.070 --> 00:50:14.929
by and rent Rob for a day. A day! A day! Watch

00:50:14.929 --> 00:50:17.909
Rob consume seven bottles of night cream and

00:50:17.909 --> 00:50:22.289
still break dance in New York. Watch Rob Redd

00:50:22.289 --> 00:50:27.070
fart down a building. Fart down a building! Rob

00:50:27.070 --> 00:50:29.630
Redd assumes no responsibility whatsoever. He

00:50:29.630 --> 00:50:31.550
is not a babysitter and he doesn't give one else

00:50:31.550 --> 00:50:33.349
a shit about your children. Please remember to

00:50:33.349 --> 00:50:35.579
corral every little bastard you have. Before

00:50:35.579 --> 00:50:37.760
Rob gets there, and Walt will not put up with

00:50:37.760 --> 00:50:40.059
any back talk, he will promptly get them in the

00:50:40.059 --> 00:50:42.500
place. Rob Bradd consumes no responsibility for

00:50:42.500 --> 00:50:44.380
anything that could be stolen from his visit.

00:50:44.420 --> 00:50:46.780
Rob Bradd has no responsibility whatsoever in

00:50:46.780 --> 00:50:49.780
any help him of any situation. Read a Rob today.

00:51:00.039 --> 00:51:03.860
This is Big Dog 95 .7 on Mark. Not really. This

00:51:03.860 --> 00:51:05.849
is two douchebags in a microphone. I'm Mark.

00:51:07.030 --> 00:51:09.809
In the Kansas City area. Yeah, bro. All right.

00:51:10.250 --> 00:51:12.090
We have some emails, but you got a story you

00:51:12.090 --> 00:51:16.369
want to get to first? Yeah, I got one here. Since

00:51:16.369 --> 00:51:19.869
you were going off the wall before first break,

00:51:20.010 --> 00:51:22.570
I'm going off the wall too. Well, I'm going to

00:51:22.570 --> 00:51:25.230
get to this next podcast, but there's a new restaurant

00:51:25.230 --> 00:51:27.289
that opened up the road. They're a small chain

00:51:27.289 --> 00:51:29.710
here in Kansas City called Pegas, and they sell

00:51:29.710 --> 00:51:32.670
coffee. And I got a coffee like an hour before

00:51:32.670 --> 00:51:37.219
the show. and it is like supercharged espresso.

00:51:37.860 --> 00:51:40.079
You're zooming. Yes, I'm zooming. Okay, you're

00:51:40.079 --> 00:51:42.440
zooming. I got you. It's called Matt's Coffee.

00:51:42.539 --> 00:51:45.440
It's out of Lenexa. I wish you would have told

00:51:45.440 --> 00:51:48.420
me that before we went on here. Oh, yeah, you

00:51:48.420 --> 00:51:49.900
know what? That would have been good information.

00:51:49.960 --> 00:51:53.860
Oh, and also Wiener World. I was wondering why

00:51:53.860 --> 00:51:56.659
you were so long -winded tonight. That's it right

00:51:56.659 --> 00:51:59.599
there. Wiener World shut down, but I'm going

00:51:59.599 --> 00:52:03.699
to go into it next podcast. Oh. Yeah, you're

00:52:03.699 --> 00:52:05.119
going to have to do that next podcast. Yeah,

00:52:05.119 --> 00:52:08.099
because I got my hair skipped today. Okay, go

00:52:08.099 --> 00:52:11.539
ahead. I'm going into King Charles. Why not?

00:52:14.960 --> 00:52:18.400
Green finger King Charles is growing his own

00:52:18.400 --> 00:52:21.940
crop of cannabis in the grounds of his country

00:52:21.940 --> 00:52:25.880
pile as he turns to the drug to ease the ravages

00:52:25.880 --> 00:52:33.159
of cancer. King Charles has cancer? Yes. He's

00:52:33.159 --> 00:52:40.579
growing marijuana. Nice. Quarters say the monarch

00:52:40.579 --> 00:52:44.679
is cultivating his own supply of weed as his

00:52:44.679 --> 00:52:49.460
high -growth house stately home in the UK county

00:52:49.460 --> 00:52:59.099
of Glottester. Glottester. Fabulous snatch. I

00:52:59.099 --> 00:53:06.929
should know that. My family's from... The plant

00:53:06.929 --> 00:53:11.150
-mad sovereign who runs his own organic food

00:53:11.150 --> 00:53:15.110
farm is putting his trust in the medicinal and

00:53:15.110 --> 00:53:18.789
pain -killing benefits of cannabis. And he's

00:53:18.789 --> 00:53:24.650
now pumping on his own homegrown product. I knew

00:53:24.650 --> 00:53:28.250
there was some coolness in him somewhere. Somewhere.

00:53:28.809 --> 00:53:33.880
Oh, you had to... Yeah, he's pretty stiff. Come

00:53:33.880 --> 00:53:36.860
on. He's as stiff as his mom right now. Oh, no.

00:53:37.239 --> 00:53:43.699
Too soon? Yeah, too soon. Just kidding. Sorry,

00:53:43.880 --> 00:54:03.349
everybody. I'm amped up. As a result of his love

00:54:03.349 --> 00:54:07.030
and deep knowledge of all things natural, he

00:54:07.030 --> 00:54:10.070
looked at cannabis as a means of fighting the

00:54:10.070 --> 00:54:15.530
disease and also killing the pain cancer is causing

00:54:15.530 --> 00:54:23.329
him. I wish he'd grow dreads. Dreads and wear

00:54:23.329 --> 00:54:28.050
a kilt with the high socks and sandals. He could.

00:54:28.650 --> 00:54:34.030
Oh, it'd be awesome. And he's half -bold. He's

00:54:34.030 --> 00:54:38.010
got the ring going on. He can get implants. I

00:54:38.010 --> 00:54:42.690
mean, he's got the money. Yeah, he should. That's

00:54:42.690 --> 00:54:45.409
a good idea. Yeah, and he needs to go by, like,

00:54:45.409 --> 00:54:49.389
King J or something like that. No, C. Oh, there

00:54:49.389 --> 00:54:52.409
you go. King C, that's it. All right. Yeah, King

00:54:52.409 --> 00:54:56.469
C. Yeah, yeah, King C, the big one. Sounds good

00:54:56.469 --> 00:54:59.409
to me. Yeah, hell yeah. All right, anyhow, go

00:54:59.409 --> 00:55:05.039
ahead. Sorry. No, that was all. Okay. Rob, guess

00:55:05.039 --> 00:55:10.659
what I got in my grubby little mitts? Oh, I hope

00:55:10.659 --> 00:55:13.179
it's what I think it is. It is. I was going to

00:55:13.179 --> 00:55:18.380
ask you before the show. Emails. Oh, okay. And

00:55:18.380 --> 00:55:23.500
I also have my list of guitarists, and so does...

00:55:23.500 --> 00:55:26.639
Yeah, I got that. Okay. All right, good. I have

00:55:26.639 --> 00:55:29.860
them, too. So, dudes, I love the Uncle Rob's

00:55:29.860 --> 00:55:33.579
tips. on life, and radiation, Rob, especially.

00:55:34.159 --> 00:55:36.239
I just thought I would write this because of

00:55:36.239 --> 00:55:40.360
the parodies. That is awesome. He wrote this

00:55:40.360 --> 00:55:42.179
because we couldn't get the parodies to work.

00:55:42.219 --> 00:55:43.820
We were going to write them. He said he's going

00:55:43.820 --> 00:55:46.280
to write them out of a scale of 1 to 10. He's

00:55:46.280 --> 00:55:49.500
going to write them a 15. And it's from Ronnie

00:55:49.500 --> 00:55:57.119
in Tulsa. Tulsa King. Oh, Tulsa King. Right on.

00:55:57.420 --> 00:56:00.260
And he said, Mark, make that segment happen.

00:56:00.750 --> 00:56:04.309
Please. He wants us to rate the new parodies

00:56:04.309 --> 00:56:06.829
on here. I'm figuring it out, Ronnie. I'm figuring

00:56:06.829 --> 00:56:10.150
it out. So, you want to hear his top seven guitarists?

00:56:11.690 --> 00:56:14.849
Yes. Number one is Tony Iommi. Couldn't agree

00:56:14.849 --> 00:56:19.389
with it more. Number two, Carlos Santana. I mean,

00:56:19.429 --> 00:56:23.130
he's good. I get it. He's not my thing. Yeah.

00:56:24.110 --> 00:56:27.289
I get it. The talent's there. It's just not my

00:56:27.289 --> 00:56:31.889
stuff. You know. It's my style. It's my style.

00:56:32.210 --> 00:56:35.889
Okay. I'm shocked I didn't have him on my list,

00:56:36.010 --> 00:56:42.750
but then we got delayed and had to, so I had

00:56:42.750 --> 00:56:46.989
to redo my list. Okay. Oh, that's cool. You know,

00:56:47.110 --> 00:56:50.469
that's why he likes you better than me. That's

00:56:50.469 --> 00:56:54.769
it right there. All right. The next one is Richie

00:56:54.769 --> 00:56:56.590
Blackmore. I couldn't agree with him more. And,

00:56:56.650 --> 00:57:01.719
oh. Rainbow, not purple. That's why he likes

00:57:01.719 --> 00:57:03.900
rainbow. Okay. Yeah, that's you. Well, the white.

00:57:04.420 --> 00:57:07.400
All right. I love rainbow, too. Well, he's not

00:57:07.400 --> 00:57:13.260
on this list. Oh, okay. Jakey Lee. I can't argue

00:57:13.260 --> 00:57:17.119
with that. Yeah. Vivian Campbell. Yeah. Vivian

00:57:17.119 --> 00:57:20.099
Campbell, deal work only. I agree with that 100%.

00:57:20.099 --> 00:57:21.940
There's other stuff I don't like. Yeah, yeah.

00:57:22.039 --> 00:57:26.679
I agree 100%. And number one is King Eddie, Eddie

00:57:26.679 --> 00:57:29.880
Van Halen. And I cannot agree with that more.

00:57:31.239 --> 00:57:36.420
So. Okay. All right. Next one. Hey, guys. We'll

00:57:36.420 --> 00:57:38.739
tell Lars at the end of our top seven after.

00:57:38.940 --> 00:57:41.619
Right, right. Got you, got you. All right. Hey,

00:57:41.679 --> 00:57:45.119
guys. What about us here in Pilot's Knob? Mitch

00:57:45.119 --> 00:57:50.019
in Pilot Knob Mountain Range. Come on, Mitch.

00:57:50.320 --> 00:57:53.840
He's got another home. Where the hell that guy...

00:57:53.840 --> 00:58:00.760
He's a gypsy. He's a gypsy. I love him. He's

00:58:00.760 --> 00:58:05.639
good. He's good. Pilot Snob. We didn't... I know

00:58:05.639 --> 00:58:07.519
it exists. I've been through it before. I've

00:58:07.519 --> 00:58:11.099
heard of it, yeah. That's a good name, Pilot

00:58:11.099 --> 00:58:16.480
Snob. You know what? I think we like Wipnob better.

00:58:17.360 --> 00:58:19.800
Yeah, Lick Mob Lick is better. Hey, how about

00:58:19.800 --> 00:58:22.699
this, Rob? Let's come up with our top seven town

00:58:22.699 --> 00:58:27.159
names in Missouri. And I asked Ronnie to do that,

00:58:27.219 --> 00:58:30.800
too. I'm writing it down. I'm writing it down.

00:58:30.980 --> 00:58:34.239
Ronnie, you also. Get your pen and paper out

00:58:34.239 --> 00:58:37.820
and get your atlas out. Google it if you don't

00:58:37.820 --> 00:58:41.360
know what an atlas is. So, okay. Oh, no, no.

00:58:41.440 --> 00:58:46.400
Our target demo is 190. I forgot. Okay. Hey,

00:58:46.480 --> 00:58:48.280
I remember the pissing in the pop can story,

00:58:48.519 --> 00:58:51.219
but the episode isn't there. Mark, could you

00:58:51.219 --> 00:58:53.239
please tell it if you have time? Mark in Durham

00:58:53.239 --> 00:58:54.900
County. I don't know where Durham County is,

00:58:55.039 --> 00:58:59.199
but how about next podcast? Will you write it

00:58:59.199 --> 00:59:00.920
down, Rob? I mean, we're running really late

00:59:00.920 --> 00:59:04.980
on this. Hang on, hang on. Okay, okay. Okay,

00:59:04.980 --> 00:59:07.719
what? Now, what am I looking for? Okay. It says,

00:59:07.860 --> 00:59:10.179
hey, I remember the piss in the pop can story,

00:59:10.420 --> 00:59:14.880
but the episode isn't there. Remember, the episodes

00:59:14.880 --> 00:59:17.929
are missing. because I don't have them. I hope

00:59:17.929 --> 00:59:20.590
Topher has them. Mark, can you please tell it

00:59:20.590 --> 00:59:22.969
if you have time? Mark in Durham County. Mark,

00:59:23.010 --> 00:59:24.469
I'll get to it next. I didn't know we were going

00:59:24.469 --> 00:59:27.170
to run this late. We're going to get to it on

00:59:27.170 --> 00:59:30.730
next podcast. Is that cool, Rob? It's a cam story.

00:59:31.170 --> 00:59:34.050
Yeah. And that's a shorter story. It's not going

00:59:34.050 --> 00:59:36.949
to take that long. Okay. I'm going to make sure

00:59:36.949 --> 00:59:38.769
that's Mark, because I'm going to say, dude,

00:59:38.949 --> 00:59:42.570
I've done that a bunch of times. Anyway. Okay.

00:59:42.769 --> 00:59:46.530
Gotcha. All right. I live in Springfield, Missouri.

00:59:46.949 --> 00:59:49.610
I work for an auto body shop that cranks your

00:59:49.610 --> 00:59:52.329
podcast before customers arrive. I wish you would

00:59:52.329 --> 00:59:54.389
have said the name. Remember, this is a long

00:59:54.389 --> 00:59:59.210
time ago they wrote in. Oh, shit. Yeah. I took

00:59:59.210 --> 01:00:01.570
my selfie in front of the knob lick sign. I will

01:00:01.570 --> 01:00:04.409
send you the picture if you would like. Wally

01:00:04.409 --> 01:00:09.610
in Springfield. Um, sure. I sent him back my

01:00:09.610 --> 01:00:11.750
email, so hopefully he will send me that picture,

01:00:11.809 --> 01:00:14.269
but he took a selfie in front of knob lick already.

01:00:19.820 --> 01:00:25.059
Oh, me too. Rob, I need a mild steel plate cut

01:00:25.059 --> 01:00:27.860
in half. Could you cut it for me? Please and

01:00:27.860 --> 01:00:31.539
thank you, Jimmy. Rob, you do that for him? Cut

01:00:31.539 --> 01:00:35.599
a mild steel plate in half? We've got a plasma

01:00:35.599 --> 01:00:38.099
cutter, yeah. Okay, there you go. All right.

01:00:39.559 --> 01:00:43.019
All right. You guys still suck, and if I really

01:00:43.019 --> 01:00:45.480
want to be bored to sleep, I got the podcast

01:00:45.480 --> 01:00:50.539
at least. Bonnie and Broken Arrow. Okay, I figured

01:00:50.539 --> 01:00:54.260
something out. Broken Arrow is just a suburb

01:00:54.260 --> 01:01:00.940
of Tulsa, right? Bonnie sounds like Ronnie. And

01:01:00.940 --> 01:01:06.079
I had family down around Broken Arrow. See if

01:01:06.079 --> 01:01:07.679
it's them, because I think it's someone making

01:01:07.679 --> 01:01:10.400
fun of Ronnie, because remember that guy? That

01:01:10.400 --> 01:01:15.300
guy that... He's part of my family. Okay, the

01:01:15.300 --> 01:01:17.860
guy that was making... He said that Ronnie...

01:01:18.119 --> 01:01:19.900
Couldn't have the Tulsa name anymore, and we

01:01:19.900 --> 01:01:22.699
told them to fuck off. I think that's him. Oh,

01:01:22.699 --> 01:01:27.139
yes. I was thinking, Bonnie and Broken Arrow,

01:01:27.239 --> 01:01:28.960
that's so weird. And then I got to thinking,

01:01:29.079 --> 01:01:31.480
Broken Arrow, I believe, is the south end of

01:01:31.480 --> 01:01:34.579
Tulsa. Yeah, yeah, it's just outside Tulsa, yeah.

01:01:34.980 --> 01:01:38.880
And Bonnie sounds like Ronnie. That's what I

01:01:38.880 --> 01:01:41.940
think. It could be completely different. I think

01:01:41.940 --> 01:01:44.500
he nailed it, brother. Yeah, and he's throwing

01:01:44.500 --> 01:01:49.530
hate on us, too, so there we go. Bonnie, keep

01:01:49.530 --> 01:01:53.670
listening. I'm glad you hate us. All right. Mark,

01:01:53.929 --> 01:01:56.750
I need a glass burger installed on my patio.

01:01:56.849 --> 01:01:59.090
Could you please come do this? Thanks, Willie.

01:02:00.309 --> 01:02:02.849
Yeah, I will. Yep, whatever you want me to. Just

01:02:02.849 --> 01:02:07.849
let me know. I'll take time off work, and I'll

01:02:07.849 --> 01:02:11.590
even bring the glass. I'm that kind of guy. Right,

01:02:11.710 --> 01:02:15.230
Rob? Yep. All right. I'm going to do it for Rob,

01:02:15.309 --> 01:02:17.630
too. Rob wants me to glass in some parts down

01:02:17.630 --> 01:02:21.969
there, and I told him I would. Yeah. Yep. I'm

01:02:21.969 --> 01:02:24.309
going to do it probably in three weeks. Is that

01:02:24.309 --> 01:02:26.449
okay, Rob? Can you do without it for three weeks?

01:02:27.750 --> 01:02:31.090
Yeah, three weeks. That'll work. Okay. Let's

01:02:31.090 --> 01:02:33.630
take our second break, go into a story of yours,

01:02:33.670 --> 01:02:36.070
and then I have the featured email, which is

01:02:36.070 --> 01:02:40.090
interesting. Sound great? All right. There's

01:02:40.090 --> 01:02:42.309
the plan. Yep. And we've got something else we've

01:02:42.309 --> 01:02:45.610
got to get into. Oh, shoot. No, hang on, hang

01:02:45.610 --> 01:02:48.030
on. We can't cut this segment without doing it.

01:02:49.110 --> 01:02:54.010
Okay. Okay. Rob, go ahead. You want to go in?

01:02:55.750 --> 01:02:59.210
Yeah, let me find my, damn it, where did I put

01:02:59.210 --> 01:03:04.349
it? Okay, what this is, everybody, this is Tulsa

01:03:04.349 --> 01:03:10.849
King's answer to Seven Guitarists. It was just

01:03:10.849 --> 01:03:16.440
read off a while ago. Cool. And the way I took

01:03:16.440 --> 01:03:19.860
it was these were guitars that we could just

01:03:19.860 --> 01:03:23.659
sit and listen to. They're not exactly our favorite,

01:03:23.800 --> 01:03:27.239
but we just liked them and we would sit and listen

01:03:27.239 --> 01:03:29.579
to them. That's the way I took it. No, that's

01:03:29.579 --> 01:03:31.360
the way I took it too, so I'm glad you took it

01:03:31.360 --> 01:03:36.699
the same way. Okay, I'm going to go in at number

01:03:36.699 --> 01:03:43.139
seven. Okay. George Lynch from Dawkins. Very

01:03:43.139 --> 01:03:55.550
cool. Oh, God, yeah. He's one of the best, and

01:03:55.550 --> 01:04:14.110
he doesn't get enough recognition. Solid. Any

01:04:14.110 --> 01:04:17.889
music by Fort, that guitar just opens it up.

01:04:17.989 --> 01:04:21.610
I love it. And I could just sit and listen to

01:04:21.610 --> 01:04:26.050
him play. And that's the way I did it on my list,

01:04:26.090 --> 01:04:29.789
was guitarists, I could just sit and listen to

01:04:29.789 --> 01:04:33.969
them. No vocals, no background music, just them.

01:04:36.429 --> 01:04:41.489
Okay, coming up, number five. Dave Murray from

01:04:41.489 --> 01:04:52.769
Iron Maiden. Oh. Nice. Nice. Yes. Number four.

01:04:55.010 --> 01:05:04.329
Warren Day Martini from Rat. Very cool. I think

01:05:04.329 --> 01:05:07.610
that's what made a lot of Rick's music was the

01:05:07.610 --> 01:05:10.199
lead guitar. That would be number eight for me.

01:05:10.219 --> 01:05:13.320
I love Warren Demartini. Man, he has licks. But

01:05:13.320 --> 01:05:19.099
it was the Warren days. I like invasion of your

01:05:19.099 --> 01:05:22.000
privacy. Yeah, yeah. The later stuff, he got

01:05:22.000 --> 01:05:26.320
a little too complicated. Yeah, he had those

01:05:26.320 --> 01:05:29.000
licks that were just, man, masterful. I mean,

01:05:29.039 --> 01:05:37.840
they were catchy. Okay, at number three, Tommy

01:05:37.840 --> 01:05:46.139
Shaw. He would be number nine. Love Shaw. Well,

01:05:46.159 --> 01:05:51.679
he, back during COVID, on Facebook and YouTube,

01:05:51.940 --> 01:05:57.539
he did sessions sitting at home where he would

01:05:57.539 --> 01:06:00.900
just play like acoustic. Oh, how freaking cool.

01:06:00.980 --> 01:06:06.059
And just playing tunes. Hmm. You know what? And

01:06:06.059 --> 01:06:08.980
that's what, I mean, I've always loved him as

01:06:08.980 --> 01:06:13.360
a kid. that's when I really started liking is

01:06:13.360 --> 01:06:16.280
when I got here at this camp. I took off somebody

01:06:16.280 --> 01:06:18.360
and put him on my list. You just convinced me,

01:06:18.400 --> 01:06:39.429
Rob. Aldo Nova's solid. He is such an underrated

01:06:39.429 --> 01:06:43.929
guitarist and musician in general. Solid, man.

01:06:44.170 --> 01:06:47.289
Well, like I said, he did the same thing during

01:06:47.289 --> 01:06:50.869
COVID. They were sitting at home, and they'd

01:06:50.869 --> 01:06:55.730
just grab their guitar and do online stuff. That's

01:06:55.730 --> 01:06:58.329
cool. So the fans could see them, you know? I

01:06:58.329 --> 01:07:00.889
love that. I love that. Meanwhile, probably bands

01:07:00.889 --> 01:07:03.289
were probably charging. Yeah, bands were charging

01:07:03.289 --> 01:07:05.409
to watch them online. I forgot what bands were.

01:07:05.840 --> 01:07:08.619
And I was like thinking, what bullshit? No, I

01:07:08.619 --> 01:07:11.900
know. Facebook, Instagram, whatever, YouTube.

01:07:12.659 --> 01:07:16.099
That's cool. You see, and so many people watched

01:07:16.099 --> 01:07:18.119
them. They made money like that anyhow. So I

01:07:18.119 --> 01:07:20.119
don't know why bands are doing that. But anyhow.

01:07:20.360 --> 01:07:25.699
All right. Number seven. I thought you said that

01:07:25.699 --> 01:07:29.320
was number one. I'm sorry. My number one? Uh

01:07:29.320 --> 01:07:35.139
-huh. Randy Rhoads. Ozzy. I can't agree with

01:07:35.139 --> 01:07:38.579
that. Anymore. Cannot argue with that at all.

01:07:38.659 --> 01:07:41.619
That's fucking fantastic, dude. Okay, so will

01:07:41.619 --> 01:07:47.119
you read them all off again in order? George

01:07:47.119 --> 01:07:54.000
Lynch, Dawkins. Mm -hmm. Mick Jones, Foreigner.

01:07:54.400 --> 01:07:57.420
Solid, both of them. A. Murray, Iron Maiden.

01:07:57.760 --> 01:08:02.559
Very cool. Warren Day, Martini Rat. Very cool.

01:08:03.780 --> 01:08:10.420
Tommy Shaw, Sticks. Aldo Nova and Randy Root

01:08:32.189 --> 01:08:34.130
It was kind of like I really didn't, I thought

01:08:34.130 --> 01:08:35.909
about him, but then when you were talking about

01:08:35.909 --> 01:08:38.229
him, like I should put him in there over Buckingham

01:08:38.229 --> 01:08:42.250
because a body at work, if nothing else. Number

01:08:42.250 --> 01:08:45.310
two, I love Zach Wilde. Zach Wilde is awesome.

01:08:45.590 --> 01:08:50.489
Man, I tell you. Yes. Yes. He is such a good

01:08:50.489 --> 01:08:52.729
guitarist and he has such feeling in what he

01:08:52.729 --> 01:08:58.449
does. I couldn't deny him. Number five would

01:08:58.449 --> 01:09:03.920
be the one and only Mick Mars. Mick Mars is just

01:09:03.920 --> 01:09:09.079
good sounding. Not the most complicated, not

01:09:09.079 --> 01:09:11.859
the quickest, just the best sounding. His tone

01:09:11.859 --> 01:09:15.159
is insane. I love it. Then number four would

01:09:15.159 --> 01:09:20.680
be none other than Mr. Randy Rhodes. I mean,

01:09:20.699 --> 01:09:23.380
the guy's amazing. I mean, even from back then,

01:09:23.500 --> 01:09:27.260
groundbreaking. He was ahead of his time. Yes,

01:09:27.300 --> 01:09:32.000
yes. All right, number three, Blackmore. as in

01:09:32.000 --> 01:09:35.520
Richie, because I love his body of work, Deep

01:09:35.520 --> 01:09:42.159
Purple and Rainbow both. I mean, he almost went

01:09:42.159 --> 01:09:43.819
to the front of the line, but I'm going to go

01:09:43.819 --> 01:09:45.960
ahead and put number three. Number two would

01:09:45.960 --> 01:09:48.819
be Tony Iommi, a slight edge over Richie Blackmore,

01:09:48.920 --> 01:09:51.720
but someone could put them in the other order,

01:09:51.779 --> 01:09:54.460
and I'd be like, yeah, that's good. So they're

01:09:54.460 --> 01:09:56.680
almost a tie, but all I could do was seven here,

01:09:56.760 --> 01:09:59.699
so Blackmore, then Iommi, and number one is Eddie

01:09:59.699 --> 01:10:03.659
Van Halen. Just because the stuff that he came

01:10:03.659 --> 01:10:09.199
up with is just out of this world. Amazing stuff.

01:10:11.319 --> 01:10:14.020
So, that's mine. Let's take our second break.

01:10:14.060 --> 01:10:17.699
We'll come back with your stuff. Don't you have

01:10:17.699 --> 01:10:19.859
another email? Oh, yeah, yeah. You want me to

01:10:19.859 --> 01:10:23.720
do that? Yeah, do that email, and then we'll

01:10:23.720 --> 01:10:27.020
go to break. Okay, that sounds good. Okay, now

01:10:27.020 --> 01:10:29.239
this one kind of hit pretty good because it's

01:10:29.239 --> 01:10:31.359
something I've been pondering and I do notice

01:10:31.359 --> 01:10:34.060
that, well, I'll get into it. Mark, you've been

01:10:34.060 --> 01:10:37.000
doing the podcast for three years now. Yes. It

01:10:37.000 --> 01:10:39.439
was a question mark. I have literally listened

01:10:39.439 --> 01:10:42.260
to you grow to a higher level in a short amount

01:10:42.260 --> 01:10:45.300
of time. I've noticed not only new parodies or

01:10:45.300 --> 01:10:47.680
joke segments. I'm not saying this because it's

01:10:47.680 --> 01:10:50.039
complimentary. It's because this person hit really

01:10:50.039 --> 01:10:52.579
close because I was pondering the same thing.

01:10:53.199 --> 01:10:58.079
I have noticed not only new parodies or joke

01:10:58.079 --> 01:11:01.579
segments with the new ones of older segments

01:11:01.579 --> 01:11:05.020
like horrible jokes or the alien thingy. I think

01:11:05.020 --> 01:11:06.880
he's talking about strange insults from an alien.

01:11:07.079 --> 01:11:10.300
I did a lot of free radio editing in my day as

01:11:10.300 --> 01:11:13.739
an intern in Seattle area. I realized that what

01:11:13.739 --> 01:11:16.960
you do is quite time consuming and constant brainstorming.

01:11:17.100 --> 01:11:20.140
I guess I'm asking this. What motivates you to

01:11:20.140 --> 01:11:23.550
try to reach a higher level constantly? I am

01:11:23.550 --> 01:11:26.289
real and I listen as often as I can. I'm not

01:11:26.289 --> 01:11:29.289
trying to make fun of you or sport of you. Teresa

01:11:29.289 --> 01:11:34.109
in St. Louis. I know you're not trying to make

01:11:34.109 --> 01:11:36.130
fun of me. I know you're not trying to make sport

01:11:36.130 --> 01:11:39.470
of me or whatever. Okay, I know this. The reason

01:11:39.470 --> 01:11:42.289
I know this is because I've thought of this.

01:11:42.449 --> 01:11:45.350
I'm like, why am I so into this? Why do I just

01:11:45.350 --> 01:11:49.329
kind of, you know, I got a spare moment and I

01:11:49.329 --> 01:11:51.760
gravitate towards this. I'm talking to somebody.

01:11:51.819 --> 01:11:53.979
I think of an idea. I have to get out of the

01:11:53.979 --> 01:11:56.579
conversation and put it in my phone. Yeah, I'm

01:11:56.579 --> 01:11:59.560
pretty much obsessed with this. Yes. So I've

01:11:59.560 --> 01:12:01.979
thought of this a few times, and thank you for

01:12:01.979 --> 01:12:04.079
noticing, Teresa. I can't stress that enough.

01:12:04.420 --> 01:12:08.340
Thank you for taking an interest at all. I mean,

01:12:08.380 --> 01:12:12.220
really, humbled. Thank you. So why the hell is

01:12:12.220 --> 01:12:15.420
this podcast so important to me? I came to this

01:12:15.420 --> 01:12:17.319
conclusion, Rob. Now, I have this written down

01:12:17.319 --> 01:12:18.939
because I had to think about it, okay? So bear

01:12:18.939 --> 01:12:21.840
with me here. I am very happy where I'm at in

01:12:21.840 --> 01:12:25.180
life. If I complained, I would be foolish because

01:12:25.180 --> 01:12:28.180
it would not be valid. I really think like I

01:12:28.180 --> 01:12:31.399
feel like I have a dual life. One where I did

01:12:31.399 --> 01:12:33.420
metal and glass work, and now I feel like I was

01:12:33.420 --> 01:12:37.000
meant to do this. Maybe I felt incomplete somehow.

01:12:37.239 --> 01:12:41.199
I don't know. Or maybe technology has allowed

01:12:41.199 --> 01:12:45.000
me to do this thing that is remarkably similar

01:12:45.000 --> 01:12:48.869
to the love of expression through humor. That

01:12:48.869 --> 01:12:52.350
I've always endeared. Only now... That right

01:12:52.350 --> 01:12:56.869
there. Bingo. Yes. And Teresa... Because I know

01:12:56.869 --> 01:13:00.189
you. Yes. I've always had that love of expression

01:13:00.189 --> 01:13:06.810
through humor. To me, it's such a craft. Anyhow,

01:13:06.850 --> 01:13:09.470
I don't care if I only have two listeners. And

01:13:09.470 --> 01:13:12.170
honestly, I've always said this. You've always

01:13:12.170 --> 01:13:16.409
said this, Rob, right? If we only have two listeners,

01:13:16.510 --> 01:13:18.210
we're still doing this and we still love it.

01:13:19.970 --> 01:13:22.229
Somebody's listening. Yeah, well, we got a lot

01:13:22.229 --> 01:13:24.430
more than that. We got a ton of them. And thank

01:13:24.430 --> 01:13:27.770
you, everybody. So, anyhow. Thank you, each and

01:13:27.770 --> 01:13:30.489
every one. Yeah, I can't stress it enough. Not

01:13:30.489 --> 01:13:32.689
only listening to this, but taking and filling.

01:13:33.010 --> 01:13:35.310
I got an email about you that I'm going to do

01:13:35.310 --> 01:13:36.789
on the next one because I haven't printed out

01:13:36.789 --> 01:13:39.869
yet. But they like you a lot. I could not agree

01:13:39.869 --> 01:13:42.329
with it more. So, anyhow, you're going to like

01:13:42.329 --> 01:13:45.500
it. You know, like I said, I don't care if I

01:13:45.500 --> 01:13:49.680
only have two listeners. This is honestly a labor

01:13:49.680 --> 01:13:53.439
of love. But really, I can't call it labor. I

01:13:53.439 --> 01:13:56.520
love doing this. I love creating content like

01:13:56.520 --> 01:14:00.479
this, like such. I'm really humbled if we have

01:14:00.479 --> 01:14:03.560
one listener and one email. I'm really amazed

01:14:03.560 --> 01:14:06.020
at the number of downloads we generate. So this

01:14:06.020 --> 01:14:09.119
is already way larger than I could have ever

01:14:09.119 --> 01:14:11.119
imagined. What about you, Rob? Did you ever think

01:14:11.119 --> 01:14:14.500
that it would hit this level? No, I did not.

01:14:14.659 --> 01:14:17.939
I am just amazed. I'm amazed. Especially with

01:14:17.939 --> 01:14:22.159
the emails. Yeah, the emails. The emails make

01:14:22.159 --> 01:14:27.500
this, I mean, I can't thank you enough for so

01:14:27.500 --> 01:14:31.039
many things. So many things. I mean, you know,

01:14:31.079 --> 01:14:33.680
you give us this thing that we love to do, and

01:14:33.680 --> 01:14:35.960
you make us feel like we're doing something important

01:14:35.960 --> 01:14:38.340
for you, and we feel that we do, and it's just,

01:14:38.420 --> 01:14:40.840
it's great for our soul, and we hope it is for

01:14:40.840 --> 01:14:43.800
you. And so, the last thing I'd like to... You

01:14:43.800 --> 01:14:49.199
don't... Go ahead. I don't know if they realize

01:14:49.199 --> 01:14:55.520
how much of a release this is. We escape. You

01:14:55.520 --> 01:14:59.939
see... Our escape. Yes. So, it looks like we're

01:14:59.939 --> 01:15:03.520
doing something for you. We're really doing it

01:15:03.520 --> 01:15:05.600
for ourselves, just as much, if not more. Would

01:15:05.600 --> 01:15:10.119
you agree? That's the way it started, but...

01:15:10.319 --> 01:15:13.420
Look at us now. We can't give up now. No, no,

01:15:13.479 --> 01:15:15.840
no, no. I love these people. And I don't even

01:15:15.840 --> 01:15:19.920
know them. Well, I know a few of them. So I'm

01:15:19.920 --> 01:15:22.159
going to end with a statement here. And thank

01:15:22.159 --> 01:15:25.060
you, Teresa. And thank you, everybody else that

01:15:25.060 --> 01:15:27.600
has ever taken enough of an interest to write

01:15:27.600 --> 01:15:31.859
us. Even hate email. I appreciate it. You thought

01:15:31.859 --> 01:15:36.279
of us. So, Clint, thank you for downloading the

01:15:36.279 --> 01:15:43.180
show. You're still a little bitch. Okay, we're

01:15:43.180 --> 01:15:44.340
going to take our second break. We're going to

01:15:44.340 --> 01:15:46.199
come back with something, Rob. I'm sure Rob has

01:15:46.199 --> 01:15:49.420
some stuff to say, don't you? Yeah, I got some

01:15:49.420 --> 01:15:53.760
stuff. Okay, we shall be back. Hey there, fuckstick.

01:15:54.399 --> 01:15:56.560
You're just in time for brand new feature news

01:15:56.560 --> 01:16:00.260
nobody gives a shit about. A California girl

01:16:00.260 --> 01:16:06.020
just got enlightened to carry a unicorn. Have

01:16:06.020 --> 01:16:08.189
you ever wondered what something is about? Have

01:16:08.189 --> 01:16:10.090
you ever looked at something and said, hey, I

01:16:10.090 --> 01:16:13.090
wonder what the origin of that is? Well, so have

01:16:13.090 --> 01:16:18.970
we. That's why we give you The Origin Of. This

01:16:18.970 --> 01:16:21.250
is the origin of eyeliner. Eyeliner originated

01:16:21.250 --> 01:16:23.829
in ancient Egypt and it's been used for thousands

01:16:23.829 --> 01:16:26.510
of years across cultures and chad young men from

01:16:26.510 --> 01:16:30.210
nomadic clans wore kohl eyeliner to attract wives.

01:16:30.810 --> 01:16:34.409
Indian Katali. Dancers wore kajal to tell stories

01:16:34.409 --> 01:16:36.869
through their eyes. In Iran, women use eyeliner

01:16:36.869 --> 01:16:41.689
as a symbol of resistance. Your mom is so depressing.

01:16:41.989 --> 01:16:44.390
Blue singers come to visit her when they got

01:16:44.390 --> 01:16:47.909
writer's block. Now it's time for pick up lines

01:16:47.909 --> 01:16:51.789
from a loser. Are you a banana? You look appealing.

01:16:55.489 --> 01:17:01.039
At age 30, you spin a mug. Celebrating birthdays.

01:17:02.060 --> 01:17:05.180
Now, from his underground bunker in Camden, Missouri,

01:17:05.640 --> 01:17:08.579
a stock full of dried goods, canned food, and

01:17:08.579 --> 01:17:12.079
a couple of vibrating toys, is Ramblings of a

01:17:12.079 --> 01:17:16.640
Madman featuring Rob Rad. I intend to live forever.

01:17:17.319 --> 01:17:22.880
So far, so good. Two douchebags and a microphone,

01:17:23.100 --> 01:17:26.819
says. You ever dream about eating chocolate pudding

01:17:26.819 --> 01:17:30.350
and wake up with a spoon in your ass? Just asking.

01:17:30.850 --> 01:17:36.390
Why Whataburger, you say? Well, because what

01:17:36.390 --> 01:17:39.550
a deep -fried crispy chicken nugget just didn't

01:17:39.550 --> 01:17:49.189
have the right ring. Everybody knows Mark is

01:17:49.189 --> 01:17:51.550
a fucking idiot. But Mark would like to take

01:17:51.550 --> 01:17:54.210
this moment to remind you. You're listening to

01:17:54.210 --> 01:17:57.409
this fucking idiot. Harambe used to listen to

01:17:57.409 --> 01:17:59.630
our original show, Two Dipshits and a Cheap Radio

01:17:59.630 --> 01:18:02.789
Shack Realistic Tape Recorder. Harambe does not

01:18:02.789 --> 01:18:05.350
listen to our original show, Two Dipshits and

01:18:05.350 --> 01:18:08.050
a Cheap Radio Shack Realistic Tape Recorder anymore.

01:18:08.810 --> 01:18:11.630
You might ask why Harambe never listens to our

01:18:11.630 --> 01:18:13.670
original show, Two Dipshits and a Cheap Radio

01:18:13.670 --> 01:18:17.130
Shack Realistic Tape Recorder. Well, it's because

01:18:17.130 --> 01:18:19.770
Harambe is dead. Senselessly murdered because

01:18:19.770 --> 01:18:22.270
some idiot did not watch her child properly while

01:18:22.270 --> 01:18:25.100
looking on her phone. Sadly, Arambe does not

01:18:25.100 --> 01:18:27.159
listen to our original show, Two Gibshits and

01:18:27.159 --> 01:18:29.199
the Cheap Radio Shack Realistic Take Recorder,

01:18:29.260 --> 01:18:35.199
or any other show. Anymore. Sorry, Arambe. Strange,

01:18:35.439 --> 01:18:40.619
but true. Andres Toma was the last World War

01:18:40.619 --> 01:18:44.420
II prisoner of war to be released. Toma was captured

01:18:44.420 --> 01:18:48.279
in 1945. He was later locked up in an insane

01:18:48.279 --> 01:18:52.199
asylum for speaking gibberish. However, in 2000...

01:18:52.409 --> 01:18:54.789
who was accidentally discovered by a Slavic who

01:18:54.789 --> 01:18:57.189
recognized he was actually speaking Hungarian.

01:18:57.609 --> 01:19:00.909
After nearly 60 years, Toma was successfully

01:19:00.909 --> 01:19:04.289
identified and finally returned home in 2000.

01:19:16.930 --> 01:19:21.729
And I am Rob at Lake of the Ozarks, Jack. Beautiful.

01:19:22.390 --> 01:19:26.470
Lake of the Ozarks. Yes, beautiful. Nianguo Arm,

01:19:27.010 --> 01:19:33.770
right? Yes. Okay. Rob, we turn to you. Okay,

01:19:33.770 --> 01:19:43.029
well, I got three of the newest country music

01:19:43.029 --> 01:20:02.689
Hall of Fame inductees. Awesome. and Emmylou

01:20:02.689 --> 01:20:06.930
Harris. He eventually became a record executive

01:20:06.930 --> 01:20:10.869
who shaped modern country music. Brown was a

01:20:10.869 --> 01:20:16.010
record producer who oversaw recording from Vince

01:20:16.010 --> 01:20:21.789
Gill, Winona Judd, and Reba McEntire. All Hall

01:20:21.789 --> 01:20:24.890
of Fame members themselves, Brown will be added

01:20:24.890 --> 01:20:29.770
as a non -performer. I love that. What a great

01:20:29.770 --> 01:20:48.229
choice. music for more than 60 years. Starting

01:20:48.229 --> 01:20:51.569
when she was only 10 years old, singing with

01:20:51.569 --> 01:20:54.390
her mother and sister on Mexican Border Radio.

01:20:55.109 --> 01:20:59.810
The group Mother Mabel and the Carter Sisters

01:20:59.810 --> 01:21:04.510
started on the Grand Ole Opry and joined Johnny

01:21:04.510 --> 01:21:31.819
Cash's Roadshow. Okay. It's about time, man.

01:21:32.539 --> 01:21:35.659
I'm surprised she wasn't already in it, and I'm

01:21:35.659 --> 01:21:41.539
really surprised. Yeah, I'm surprised it took

01:21:41.539 --> 01:22:19.979
this long. That is a solid choice, wouldn't you

01:22:19.979 --> 01:22:33.390
say? Yes, yes. He's probably just now eligible.

01:22:33.590 --> 01:22:37.670
It sounds about like the timeline. Yeah, I think

01:22:37.670 --> 01:22:40.430
it is. I think it is. Yeah, I think he got in

01:22:40.430 --> 01:22:42.489
there. I think he's probably first ballot, probably.

01:22:43.350 --> 01:22:48.949
So, hmm. That was a solid list. That was a solid

01:22:48.949 --> 01:22:51.750
list. Everyone I like. Yeah, I like it. I like

01:22:51.750 --> 01:22:53.409
it. They're better than the Rock and Roll Hall

01:22:53.409 --> 01:22:58.850
of Fame. Geez. Well, you know, I ain't touched

01:22:58.850 --> 01:23:01.899
on country music for a while, so I had to. Hey,

01:23:02.000 --> 01:23:03.819
every one of the artists I know of, and I know

01:23:03.819 --> 01:23:05.359
some of their stuff, and they're all really good,

01:23:05.439 --> 01:23:07.659
and I can't agree with it more. So, yeah, I think

01:23:07.659 --> 01:23:13.020
they're on the right. So, there was a factory

01:23:13.020 --> 01:23:17.619
worker in Kentucky, right? And he trapped his

01:23:17.619 --> 01:23:22.039
co -worker in a 200 degree steam room. Thought

01:23:22.039 --> 01:23:23.819
it was going to be a ha -ha from what I understand,

01:23:23.979 --> 01:23:27.840
right? 200 degree. 200 degree steam room, Rob.

01:23:28.279 --> 01:23:32.439
A woman went unconscious. Yeah. Would you not

01:23:32.439 --> 01:23:34.939
bust that motherfucker right in the face as hard

01:23:34.939 --> 01:23:37.380
as you could with whatever heavy you could find?

01:23:38.020 --> 01:23:41.380
Yeah. A woman went unconscious when her factory

01:23:41.380 --> 01:23:43.520
co -worker intentionally locked her inside a

01:23:43.520 --> 01:23:46.579
room that sprayed 200 degrees steam, Kentucky

01:23:46.579 --> 01:23:49.680
authorities say. The incident happened March

01:23:49.680 --> 01:23:53.039
5th at the Lando Frost plant in Madisonville

01:23:53.039 --> 01:23:56.140
and led to charges against 23 -year -old Barrett

01:23:56.140 --> 01:23:59.720
Cornita, according to the Madisonville Police

01:23:59.720 --> 01:24:04.310
Department. The mugshot. Look it up. Look it

01:24:04.310 --> 01:24:08.850
up. Put steam room 200 degree mugshot. And you

01:24:08.850 --> 01:24:10.930
got to see this person. You got to see this loser.

01:24:11.329 --> 01:24:16.609
You got to see it. Believe me. I will. She objected

01:24:16.609 --> 01:24:19.529
to his comment, but Cornita closed the door on

01:24:19.529 --> 01:24:21.550
the victim and trapped her inside by latching

01:24:21.550 --> 01:24:24.010
its lock, according to a criminal complaint.

01:24:25.289 --> 01:24:30.149
Corinta, then, is Corinta. Corinta. I've been

01:24:30.149 --> 01:24:32.930
saying it wrong. Imagine that. Oh, Babelsnatch.

01:24:33.149 --> 01:24:36.390
Then turned on the machine, causing chemicals

01:24:36.390 --> 01:24:39.510
and 200 degree steam to spray with the woman

01:24:39.510 --> 01:24:42.590
trapped inside, police said. She later told investigators

01:24:42.590 --> 01:24:45.270
she had no means of escaping when the machine

01:24:45.270 --> 01:24:48.109
was turned on. She shut down the machine with

01:24:48.109 --> 01:24:50.550
an emergency switch in the room, but police said

01:24:50.550 --> 01:24:52.689
she became unconscious and fell to the floor.

01:24:53.350 --> 01:24:55.630
The victim was hospitalized with minor injuries

01:24:55.630 --> 01:24:58.510
to her face and head and was treated for a concussion

01:24:58.510 --> 01:25:01.390
the next day, according to police. Madisonville

01:25:01.390 --> 01:25:05.029
Police Public Information Officer Jason McKnight

01:25:05.029 --> 01:25:09.430
told WEVV, it must be a local TV or radio, I

01:25:09.430 --> 01:25:11.689
think probably a TV station, it's unclear why

01:25:11.689 --> 01:25:17.069
Cornita locked his co -worker inside the room

01:25:17.069 --> 01:25:20.779
or if he did it as a joke. We don't know if it

01:25:20.779 --> 01:25:22.720
was malicious or if it was just one of those

01:25:22.720 --> 01:25:25.260
things where you're not really thinking things

01:25:25.260 --> 01:25:27.579
through well. I mean, you know, we've all done

01:25:27.579 --> 01:25:30.039
that before. McKnight told the outlet. But at

01:25:30.039 --> 01:25:31.939
the end of the day, she was put in there against

01:25:31.939 --> 01:25:34.100
her will, locked in, and somehow the machine

01:25:34.100 --> 01:25:37.359
was started. Pretty cut and dry to me. What do

01:25:37.359 --> 01:25:44.220
you think, Rob? Yeah. Look, joke or not, uh -uh.

01:25:45.079 --> 01:25:49.430
Uh -uh. No. That's not a ha -ha, and that's not

01:25:49.430 --> 01:25:53.430
something you do to anybody. The way it is, right?

01:25:55.590 --> 01:25:59.989
Yep. All right, Rob, you got something? Yeah,

01:25:59.989 --> 01:26:06.590
I do. All right. Let me practice this name real

01:26:06.590 --> 01:26:23.760
quick. Okay. into a record -setting $2 .39 million

01:26:23.760 --> 01:26:29.399
cash prize while playing the Michigan Lottery's

01:26:29.399 --> 01:26:48.689
jackpot slots millionaire game. I would, too,

01:26:48.729 --> 01:26:51.590
because people don't realize it's a joke. I'm

01:26:51.590 --> 01:26:56.109
pretty sure it's a joke. So, anyhow. I decided

01:26:56.109 --> 01:27:00.090
to take $100 of my winnings and buy some fast

01:27:00.090 --> 01:27:03.890
cash tickets because the jackpot was so huge.

01:27:04.310 --> 01:27:08.369
While the numbers usually connote a connection

01:27:08.369 --> 01:27:12.409
with Satan and devil worship appearing in the

01:27:12.409 --> 01:27:18.310
Bible's book of Revelation, in the case they

01:27:18.310 --> 01:27:22.989
brought good fortune to the player. As soon as

01:27:22.989 --> 01:27:26.109
the clerk handed me the tickets, I ran my eyes

01:27:26.109 --> 01:27:52.920
over them to see if I had won anything. Very

01:27:52.920 --> 01:28:00.920
cool. Good. I mean, that's funny. And like I

01:28:00.920 --> 01:28:03.340
said, he meant it as a joke, you know, and I

01:28:03.340 --> 01:28:06.979
mean, but you know, yeah, I mean, however you

01:28:06.979 --> 01:28:09.720
look at it, whatever, you know, even if people

01:28:09.720 --> 01:28:13.020
do worship Satan or whatever. Okay, whatever.

01:28:14.859 --> 01:28:17.460
Do you want to keep going? It's 931 or do you

01:28:17.460 --> 01:28:27.279
want to shut this down? else yeah i do gen z

01:28:27.279 --> 01:28:31.319
says gen z is getting a lot of flack for quiet

01:28:31.319 --> 01:28:33.760
quitting and quiet quitting we went into a couple

01:28:33.760 --> 01:28:36.039
of times and that's where you don't do your job

01:28:36.039 --> 01:28:39.859
enough until they get rid of you but until then

01:28:39.859 --> 01:28:42.260
you collect a paycheck and just kind of do nothing

01:28:42.260 --> 01:28:46.039
gen z is not quiet quitting they say they're

01:28:46.039 --> 01:28:49.369
rejecting outdated leadership If your company

01:28:49.369 --> 01:28:51.869
is losing Gen Z talent, chances are the problem

01:28:51.869 --> 01:28:54.869
isn't them, it's you, according to Gen Zers.

01:28:55.430 --> 01:28:57.970
The phrase quiet quitting has become a catch

01:28:57.970 --> 01:29:00.050
-all for blaming Gen Z workers for workplace

01:29:00.050 --> 01:29:04.390
disengagement. Older generations stereotype them

01:29:04.390 --> 01:29:07.890
as unmotivated, unwilling to go the extra mile,

01:29:07.970 --> 01:29:11.659
and too demanding. But here's the reality is

01:29:11.659 --> 01:29:15.159
what Gen Z says. Gen Z isn't disengaging. They're

01:29:15.159 --> 01:29:18.000
just done tolerating bad leadership. And, you

01:29:18.000 --> 01:29:22.100
know, Rob, I get that, don't you? I've had plenty

01:29:22.100 --> 01:29:26.979
of that in my life. I hear it every day. Yeah.

01:29:27.140 --> 01:29:29.979
Well, the place I'm at now, not so much. But

01:29:29.979 --> 01:29:36.250
my old place. Oh, man, my direct boss. Oh, my

01:29:36.250 --> 01:29:39.029
God. That guy was one of the dumbest motherfuckers

01:29:39.029 --> 01:29:41.850
I'd ever known in my life. And he was pissy all

01:29:41.850 --> 01:29:44.390
the time because he drank all fucking night and

01:29:44.390 --> 01:29:46.409
he didn't want to come in. And I had to put up

01:29:46.409 --> 01:29:48.590
with his bad breath and his stupid fucking hat

01:29:48.590 --> 01:29:51.109
with his natty hair. I wanted to fucking punch

01:29:51.109 --> 01:29:53.970
him every day. Anyhow, my research included surveys,

01:29:54.289 --> 01:29:56.850
interviews, and case studies across industries

01:29:56.850 --> 01:30:00.600
shows that many have labeled quitting. is actually

01:30:00.600 --> 01:30:03.520
a rational response to workplaces that lack fairness,

01:30:03.680 --> 01:30:06.199
structure, and alignment with employee values.

01:30:06.500 --> 01:30:08.699
Instead of writing off an entire generation,

01:30:09.079 --> 01:30:11.539
leaders should be asking, what are we doing wrong?

01:30:11.859 --> 01:30:15.880
And, I mean, I don't know. Man, this thing is

01:30:15.880 --> 01:30:19.760
hitting home. Because what I just said about

01:30:19.760 --> 01:30:22.880
the fuckhead that I used to work for, my direct

01:30:22.880 --> 01:30:26.770
boss and others, I get it. employee well -being

01:30:26.770 --> 01:30:29.090
in a step in the right direction, but can also

01:30:29.090 --> 01:30:32.529
fall if it lacks structure and clarity. Gen Z

01:30:32.529 --> 01:30:35.430
doesn't want a charismatic leader who inspires

01:30:35.430 --> 01:30:38.369
them. They want fairness, clear expectations,

01:30:38.369 --> 01:30:42.430
and leaders who actually listen. When those elements

01:30:42.430 --> 01:30:45.210
are missing, disengagement is inevitable. This

01:30:45.210 --> 01:30:47.810
is where the model I developed, Engage in Empathy

01:30:47.810 --> 01:30:51.470
Leadership Model, EELM, offers a solution. But

01:30:51.470 --> 01:30:56.239
I'm not going to go into that. Okay, it's like,

01:30:56.239 --> 01:31:00.520
I mean, you can look it up, and it's E -E -L

01:31:00.520 --> 01:31:02.840
-M, and you can look up the term if you're so

01:31:02.840 --> 01:31:06.859
inclined to, and it will explain it. But I can

01:31:06.859 --> 01:31:11.039
tell you this. The reason that they don't tolerate

01:31:11.039 --> 01:31:14.020
it is they are a generation that grew up on instant

01:31:14.020 --> 01:31:18.279
gratification. Hey, anybody that had a millennial

01:31:18.279 --> 01:31:21.039
or younger, and their children are like that?

01:31:21.680 --> 01:31:24.039
You let them do something too much, like look

01:31:24.039 --> 01:31:27.579
at TV or probably the phone or the computer.

01:31:28.159 --> 01:31:30.180
They're used to instant gratification, going

01:31:30.180 --> 01:31:31.420
through a drive -thru and getting your food,

01:31:31.460 --> 01:31:33.460
bam, like that. You ain't waiting 10 minutes.

01:31:33.800 --> 01:31:35.760
That's way too long. You've got to have your

01:31:35.760 --> 01:31:39.199
meal in three minutes. That's why all these fast

01:31:39.199 --> 01:31:41.619
food places work so hard to get you through their

01:31:41.619 --> 01:31:45.920
place like that. They'll even sacrifice the food

01:31:45.920 --> 01:31:48.039
being as good to get you through there because

01:31:48.039 --> 01:31:49.960
they know that that's what people inevitably

01:31:49.960 --> 01:31:52.779
care about. And that's why I came up with the

01:31:52.779 --> 01:31:55.739
segment First World Problems. To illustrate,

01:31:56.119 --> 01:32:02.479
through humor, what we do here in America. And

01:32:02.479 --> 01:32:08.380
this is all our faults. All our faults. Because

01:32:08.380 --> 01:32:12.039
Gen Z and some millennials are like this. And

01:32:12.039 --> 01:32:14.899
I understand why. If I grew up, someone would

01:32:14.899 --> 01:32:17.819
give me a tablet and tell me to watch Shrek and

01:32:17.819 --> 01:32:22.369
shut up. in the back of a SUV, and then they

01:32:22.369 --> 01:32:24.930
fucking pimp you out to soccer so they don't

01:32:24.930 --> 01:32:27.189
have to deal with you, in my opinion, you know?

01:32:27.810 --> 01:32:31.590
I get it. That's why they don't put up with anything,

01:32:31.789 --> 01:32:35.310
because they never had to. And it's not necessarily

01:32:35.310 --> 01:32:39.090
the way they grew up. So, yeah, they could change

01:32:39.090 --> 01:32:40.930
if they wanted to. Not their fault. Not their

01:32:40.930 --> 01:32:43.369
fault. Yeah, they could change if they wanted

01:32:43.369 --> 01:32:46.600
to, okay? But the thing is... This is what we

01:32:46.600 --> 01:32:49.359
created, most of us. Some people didn't. But

01:32:49.359 --> 01:32:52.960
enough people did to where, far and large, Gen

01:32:52.960 --> 01:32:55.020
Zers are pretty much like that. That's one of

01:32:55.020 --> 01:32:58.859
their traits. So, there you go. And, I mean,

01:32:58.880 --> 01:33:00.600
I don't know what else to say about that. If

01:33:00.600 --> 01:33:04.619
you're wondering about the E -E -L -P, or L -M,

01:33:04.659 --> 01:33:07.939
not P, look it up. It's interesting. This guy

01:33:07.939 --> 01:33:11.680
came up with a system that he says, and I could

01:33:11.680 --> 01:33:14.520
see it working in probably a few cases, but...

01:33:14.779 --> 01:33:16.699
He said he has a way to get their attention and

01:33:16.699 --> 01:33:18.800
how to be good leadership because he interviewed

01:33:18.800 --> 01:33:21.979
so many of them. And he said that a lot of them,

01:33:21.979 --> 01:33:24.500
or most of them, came up with the same reasons

01:33:24.500 --> 01:33:28.300
why they're disengaged. So I think that's pretty

01:33:28.300 --> 01:33:32.659
clear right there. You got something, Rob? That's

01:33:32.659 --> 01:33:35.159
all I have for tonight. All right. Then we're

01:33:35.159 --> 01:33:36.659
going to get the hell out of here. And once again,

01:33:36.739 --> 01:33:38.640
thank you guys for listening. I'm not even going

01:33:38.640 --> 01:33:41.159
to tell anyone to fuck themselves because, sincerely,

01:33:41.439 --> 01:33:44.500
thank you guys. Thank you for downloading. Thank

01:33:44.500 --> 01:33:46.579
you for listening, and thank you for writing

01:33:46.579 --> 01:33:50.220
in. We really do appreciate it here at Douchebag

01:33:50.220 --> 01:33:52.800
Central in Kansas City and Douchebag Central

01:33:52.800 --> 01:33:59.880
in... Beautiful... Niagara Arm and Lake of the

01:33:59.880 --> 01:34:02.840
Ozarks. There you go. Everybody, have a good

01:34:02.840 --> 01:34:05.560
night. Thank you. Good night, assholes. Good

01:34:05.560 --> 01:34:10.100
night, assholes. Oh, no. Looks like the show's

01:34:10.100 --> 01:34:13.720
over, kids. Mark has explosive diarrhea and can't

01:34:13.720 --> 01:34:17.140
afford a wireless mic. Fear not, assholes. They'll

01:34:17.140 --> 01:34:19.000
be back invading your ear holes soon.
