WEBVTT

00:00:18.229 --> 00:00:29.429

00:00:29.429 --> 00:00:33.130
Daily Douchebag Pledge. I, Joe or Jane Listener,

00:00:33.130 --> 00:00:36.409

Listener, promise to make all my family members

00:01:00.710 --> 00:01:03.369
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,

00:01:09.810 --> 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 --> 00:01:30.909
and will lie if it makes the story better. Two

00:01:30.909 --> 00:01:44.209
douchebags and a microphone? The apocalypse just

00:01:44.209 --> 00:01:47.670
happened. You don't know what to do. You don't

00:01:47.670 --> 00:01:50.290
know where to go. But we can tell you what you

00:01:50.290 --> 00:01:55.540
can eat. Hi all, this is Mark here. I'm usually

00:01:55.540 --> 00:01:57.900
the one telling you what to eat during an apocalypse.

00:01:58.760 --> 00:02:01.719
Well, this time I decided to go the other way.

00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:04.799
You ever consider just going to ground zero and

00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:06.900
saying, fuck it? Do you really want to be the

00:02:06.900 --> 00:02:09.340
guy running around looking for radioactive deer,

00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:12.560
guessing whether water is not contaminated or

00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:16.060
not? No food, no shelter, no nothing. Oh no,

00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:17.819
there's a strong argument that says, you know

00:02:17.819 --> 00:02:20.969
what? Let's just go to Crown Zero and see what's

00:02:20.969 --> 00:02:26.370
for us after. Just a thought. And now, Deep Thoughts

00:02:26.370 --> 00:02:33.430
with Mark. Should I record frog sounds in the

00:02:33.430 --> 00:02:35.849
summer, then play them when it's zero degrees

00:02:35.849 --> 00:02:39.810
on my ring doorbell for the Amazon guy? Yeah,

00:02:40.870 --> 00:02:48.819
that sounds like fun. Proof that we love you

00:02:48.819 --> 00:02:51.900
here at QD Spades and Microphone Central. Here's

00:02:51.900 --> 00:02:54.280
a proof right here about the drink of the week.

00:02:55.479 --> 00:02:59.699
Hey, Sporty Pants. This is definitely a summer

00:02:59.699 --> 00:03:03.319
drink. This is a Blue Lion Tiki Cocktail Shaker.

00:03:03.860 --> 00:03:08.360
Have one half of a cup of ice. Had two ounces

00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:11.259
of light one. Three quarter ounces of Blue Curacao.

00:03:11.800 --> 00:03:14.300
Two ounces of pineapple juice. Shake over 30

00:03:14.300 --> 00:03:17.120
seconds until shaker is very cold. Straight into

00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:20.560
a hurricane glass. Filled with crushed ice. Garnished

00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:22.659
with a plain apple wedge. And while you're there,

00:03:22.740 --> 00:03:24.599
why not milk with a blue Hawaiian shark -a -cat?

00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:26.599
All you have to do is grab the maraschino cherry

00:03:26.599 --> 00:03:29.719
on the top and splack. Looks like a wet mess

00:03:29.719 --> 00:03:33.840
on top. Therefore, the shark -a -cat. And now

00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:36.419
we look in on the adventures of the technical

00:03:36.419 --> 00:03:40.199
explanation guy. Why, excuse me, my dear chap.

00:03:40.300 --> 00:03:43.580
Could you please pass the sodium chloride? Do

00:03:43.580 --> 00:03:48.419
you mean the salt? Why, yes. Yes, I do. Then

00:03:48.419 --> 00:03:55.639
just say the salt, you dumb motherfucker. Hey

00:03:55.639 --> 00:03:58.400
there, slap nuts. It's time for The Creeps Music

00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:03.939
News. Hey, my little pumpkin seeds. This is Johnny

00:04:03.939 --> 00:04:07.219
Rohypnol with your music news. Nick Ralphs, founding

00:04:07.219 --> 00:04:09.699
member of Moth the Hoople and legendary guitarist

00:04:09.699 --> 00:04:12.060
for Bad Company, has passed away at the age of

00:04:12.060 --> 00:04:15.340
81 after suffering a stroke. He was in bad company.

00:04:15.939 --> 00:04:19.620
Till the day he died. This is Johnny Rohypnol.

00:04:19.819 --> 00:04:23.139
That was your music news. And remember, bar chords

00:04:23.139 --> 00:04:38.220
are bullshit. Two douchebags and a microphone.

00:04:38.420 --> 00:04:40.959
I'm Mark here in the Kansas City area at the

00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:47.399
Talk is Cheap studio. And I am Rob at the beautiful

00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:50.879
navel arm of Lake of the Ozarks in my dining

00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:54.360
room. Oh, all right. Well, you know what? I bet

00:04:54.360 --> 00:04:56.579
the lake is beautiful because... No, no, no.

00:04:56.759 --> 00:04:59.759
The reason why I say that, the reason why I'm

00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:02.259
not in Duck Blind's studio... Oh, is this the

00:05:02.259 --> 00:05:07.990
announcement? I have a major announcement coming,

00:05:08.089 --> 00:05:10.389
everybody. Okay, go ahead. No, this is not the

00:05:10.389 --> 00:05:12.569
announcement. The reason why I'm not in the duck

00:05:12.569 --> 00:05:18.350
blind studio is my son is staying here for a

00:05:18.350 --> 00:05:22.329
couple weeks, and he's crashing on the floor

00:05:22.329 --> 00:05:27.949
in the studio because he has rented the apartment

00:05:27.949 --> 00:05:34.600
above me. Yeah. Okay, Rob. Well, we know who's

00:05:34.600 --> 00:05:37.220
going to be making dinner every night. Well,

00:05:37.319 --> 00:05:40.740
no. No? I don't set my dining room table, but

00:05:40.740 --> 00:05:46.019
no. No, no, no. No, I don't make dinner. He brings

00:05:46.019 --> 00:05:48.819
home about as much as I do every week. Okay.

00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:51.680
He pours on food. Okay, that's cool. Good. No,

00:05:51.740 --> 00:05:54.040
I did own a hell of a lot less. He can do it

00:05:54.040 --> 00:05:59.930
now. Okay. He knows that. I will feed him. Oh,

00:05:59.930 --> 00:06:02.009
I know that, Rob. We all know this. I mean, you

00:06:02.009 --> 00:06:03.829
know, that's what you do for kids, but at first

00:06:03.829 --> 00:06:05.689
you make them do what they can before you do

00:06:05.689 --> 00:06:09.490
anything like that. Yeah, and he just put the

00:06:09.490 --> 00:06:12.170
deposit on the apartment upstairs last night.

00:06:13.389 --> 00:06:15.889
It's all good. Oh, good. I'm glad he's going

00:06:15.889 --> 00:06:20.610
to be close to you. Excellent. Did you want to

00:06:20.610 --> 00:06:22.209
do the announcement now, or do you want to do

00:06:22.209 --> 00:06:33.670
it later on? This is my drum roll. I'm no good

00:06:33.670 --> 00:06:39.430
at drums, okay? I'm a guitar guy. Okay, go ahead.

00:07:16.490 --> 00:07:18.850
Rob's giving away $100 bills when you catch him.

00:07:21.009 --> 00:07:25.689
No? Well, hey, I might. We might have to ATM,

00:07:26.189 --> 00:07:30.490
but at the moment I could do a couple. There

00:07:30.490 --> 00:07:33.810
you go, assholes. Find him. Yeah, yeah. Cool.

00:07:33.829 --> 00:07:45.540
Anybody in Lake of the Ozarks. And also go to

00:07:45.540 --> 00:07:48.040
our page, the Two Deucebags microphone page.

00:07:48.160 --> 00:07:50.740
The pictures will be up there, won't they? Yes,

00:07:50.740 --> 00:07:54.519
yes, yes. As soon as it's done, they're going

00:07:54.519 --> 00:07:58.600
to be on Facebook. There you go, guys. That way

00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:02.019
you see the truck, you know what to look for.

00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:08.879
It's a 2012 white Nissan Frontier. There you

00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:11.879
go. Look for the man. He's also cool to talk

00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:14.310
to, not just to give money. He's also cool to

00:08:14.310 --> 00:08:16.829
talk to, so hell yeah. He'll show you his loincloth.

00:08:16.850 --> 00:08:18.509
He probably won't be wearing it. Well, I don't

00:08:18.509 --> 00:08:22.029
know. It's pretty hot. No, well, yeah, but it

00:08:22.029 --> 00:08:25.949
may be after work. Okay, he'll probably be wearing

00:08:25.949 --> 00:08:27.949
his jeans. He'll be wearing his Wranglers, his

00:08:27.949 --> 00:08:32.990
skin -tight Wranglers, right? Always. Okay, there

00:08:32.990 --> 00:08:35.490
you go. No loincloth, but he'll show you the

00:08:35.490 --> 00:08:37.289
loincloth because he carries it around with him

00:08:37.289 --> 00:08:45.929
in case he needs it, right? Yes. Yes, okay. I

00:08:45.929 --> 00:08:51.190
know. I need to shut my mouth. $100 and a loincloth.

00:08:51.490 --> 00:08:55.129
No, no, no. I'm going to have to order a loincloth.

00:08:55.350 --> 00:09:00.090
I am. Seriously. You are going to. Well, what

00:09:00.090 --> 00:09:02.590
you can do is you can just take a rag and put

00:09:02.590 --> 00:09:06.710
a piece of rope around it. And a crossy ass.

00:09:07.029 --> 00:09:11.090
Yeah. And may or may not put Duke. Who knows?

00:09:11.330 --> 00:09:22.269
Oh, I think you should put Duke. Yes. Yes. Yeah,

00:09:22.389 --> 00:09:24.769
yep. I will announce it later when it's official.

00:09:25.169 --> 00:09:27.809
Yep. L .A. definitely knows what we're talking

00:09:27.809 --> 00:09:31.429
about. Those guys are killing it. I would like

00:09:31.429 --> 00:09:35.210
to start off with this, Rob. This is a tribute.

00:09:35.870 --> 00:09:38.350
You probably read about this, heard about it,

00:09:38.350 --> 00:09:41.570
I'm sure. It's big news. This guy is responsible

00:09:41.570 --> 00:09:46.769
for a culture of humor. His brand was so unique,

00:09:46.789 --> 00:09:48.870
and his character was one of the most influential

00:09:48.870 --> 00:09:54.700
and talented. This show helped me through adolescence

00:09:54.700 --> 00:09:57.299
and all the bumps and bruises of growing up.

00:09:57.740 --> 00:09:59.960
He was an old friend that would visit me every

00:09:59.960 --> 00:10:03.820
Sunday night at 1030 on KY102. Yes, yes, yes.

00:10:04.100 --> 00:10:06.639
I know what you're going into. I almost did that

00:10:06.639 --> 00:10:10.240
a couple weeks ago. No. Oh, did he retire a couple

00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:16.350
weeks ago or not? Okay, then I just caught it

00:10:16.350 --> 00:10:20.190
a week ago. Anyhow, I had my tiny transistor

00:10:20.190 --> 00:10:23.990
radio, battery operated on low, up to my ear

00:10:23.990 --> 00:10:27.230
listening when I was supposed to be asleep. Yes,

00:10:27.230 --> 00:10:30.490
you are. I know, everybody did that. Everybody

00:10:30.490 --> 00:10:33.629
I knew at school that was cool at all. You had

00:10:33.629 --> 00:10:36.049
a little transistor radio, battery operated,

00:10:36.250 --> 00:10:39.409
and you hit it under your bed or something, 1030,

00:10:39.570 --> 00:10:43.350
you would turn on KY -102. Very low, and you

00:10:43.350 --> 00:10:47.350
would listen to Dr. Demento, and you would hope

00:10:47.350 --> 00:10:50.669
you could stay awake for all of it. Sometimes

00:10:50.669 --> 00:10:53.490
I did. A lot of times I fell asleep. It's Sunday

00:10:53.490 --> 00:10:55.909
night at 1030. It's ingrained in my brain forever.

00:10:56.149 --> 00:10:58.690
I will never forget that. Those are such great

00:10:58.690 --> 00:11:04.190
memories. So, you know, his humor and personality

00:11:04.190 --> 00:11:07.149
will ever be carved in my brain, and I can't

00:11:07.149 --> 00:11:10.009
thank him enough. He was so real that he would

00:11:10.009 --> 00:11:13.750
play tape sent to him at the studio. He was never

00:11:13.750 --> 00:11:16.929
afraid of being shown up or outshined. We all

00:11:16.929 --> 00:11:19.529
need the Dr. Demento humbleness. What a unique

00:11:19.529 --> 00:11:22.610
talent. In a landscape of boring and an industry

00:11:22.610 --> 00:11:26.789
of safe, sterile garbage, he was always the same

00:11:26.789 --> 00:11:31.210
guy. So let me go into the article here that

00:11:31.210 --> 00:11:36.330
describes him retiring. Dr. Demento, madcap radio

00:11:36.330 --> 00:11:39.289
DJ who launched Weird Al's career, announces

00:11:39.289 --> 00:11:42.970
retirement. It's been a blast. 84 -year -old

00:11:42.970 --> 00:11:45.950
radio legend wrote in a message to fans. I've

00:11:45.950 --> 00:11:49.990
come to the decision that I have to need to hang

00:11:49.990 --> 00:11:54.129
it up, my top hat, here soon. My pop culture

00:11:54.129 --> 00:11:57.759
universe became significant. less demented on

00:11:57.759 --> 00:12:01.480
Friday when Barrett Hanson, a .k .a. Dr. Demento,

00:12:01.539 --> 00:12:05.159
announced his retirement after 55 years of playing

00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:10.000
novelty songs on the airwaves. He wrote a message

00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:12.259
to the fans. He said, it's been a blast, but

00:12:12.259 --> 00:12:14.200
I've come to the decision that I need to hang

00:12:14.200 --> 00:12:16.960
up my top hat soon. Throughout the course of

00:12:16.960 --> 00:12:20.600
his long career, Demento introduced several fantastically

00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:23.559
silly songs, including into the public consciousness,

00:12:23.820 --> 00:12:29.179
including Fish Heads, by Barnes & Barnes and

00:12:29.179 --> 00:12:33.000
Shaving Cream by the same duo. But his greatest

00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:37.620
achievement took place in 1976 when he dug out

00:12:37.620 --> 00:12:39.899
a cassette mail to him by a 16 -year -old high

00:12:39.899 --> 00:12:44.519
school student named Alfred Yankovic. And he

00:12:44.519 --> 00:12:48.879
played his homemade song, Belvedere Cruising,

00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:52.509
on the National Airwaves. When I first got this

00:12:52.509 --> 00:12:54.750
tape, it had nothing written on it, Dr. Demento

00:12:54.750 --> 00:12:58.090
said, and Weird Al's behind the music. It was

00:12:58.090 --> 00:13:00.029
a song that Al wrote about driving around the

00:13:00.029 --> 00:13:02.850
streets of Linwood in his parents' Plymouth Belvedere.

00:13:04.649 --> 00:13:07.990
I know. And it's a great song. Do you remember

00:13:07.990 --> 00:13:13.649
it, Rob? Yes, I do. I am a major Weird Al fan.

00:13:13.929 --> 00:13:17.889
You know, and also... I'll go into the rest of

00:13:17.889 --> 00:13:19.389
this article in a minute, but here's a little

00:13:19.389 --> 00:13:22.990
side note here. Weird Al was so good that whenever

00:13:22.990 --> 00:13:26.210
he would cover an artist's song, they didn't

00:13:26.210 --> 00:13:29.830
grimace. They were jumping for joy. They would

00:13:29.830 --> 00:13:32.389
join him. They're going, really? You know, even

00:13:32.389 --> 00:13:38.210
Michael Jackson. I mean, all of these guys, they

00:13:38.210 --> 00:13:41.190
all loved him. Whenever he, you know, whenever

00:13:41.190 --> 00:13:42.970
he would cover their song, they would be like,

00:13:43.029 --> 00:13:45.009
hey, can I help you with it? Can I be in the

00:13:45.009 --> 00:13:48.399
video? They were routinely in the video, and

00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:51.000
they were routinely listening and loving the

00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:54.259
song and enjoying it as much as we did and as

00:13:54.259 --> 00:13:58.179
much as Al did. And that's what kind of a culture

00:13:58.179 --> 00:14:02.059
that this guy brought to the world. People loved

00:14:02.059 --> 00:14:05.460
him as humor. Go ahead. Actually, they filmed.

00:14:06.220 --> 00:14:10.120
Okay, Michael Jackson had the song Beat It, which

00:14:10.120 --> 00:14:15.059
the video was at a pool hall. They used the same

00:14:15.059 --> 00:14:20.240
pool. same pool tables and Weird Al Yankovic's

00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:24.659
version eating oh yeah yes yeah it was all the

00:14:24.659 --> 00:14:29.659
same it was cool yeah you know and the cool thing

00:14:29.659 --> 00:14:32.919
is you know they'd be on everyone will remember

00:14:32.919 --> 00:14:39.700
this on KY102 as well Rockline you'd hear Rockline

00:14:39.700 --> 00:14:42.820
would always whenever a huge artist was on there

00:14:43.289 --> 00:14:45.750
that he covered you'd always have at least one

00:14:45.750 --> 00:14:48.149
person calling in going hey uh what'd you think

00:14:48.149 --> 00:14:50.649
of that big al you know not big al but al um

00:14:50.649 --> 00:14:53.549
uh weird al's uh cover and they'd be like oh

00:14:53.549 --> 00:14:55.850
man it was awesome you know i got a hold of him

00:14:55.850 --> 00:14:58.190
and i told him i wanted to be in the video and

00:14:58.190 --> 00:15:00.710
you know and all this stuff and every one of

00:15:00.710 --> 00:15:03.070
them was happy when they were asked about it

00:15:03.070 --> 00:15:05.830
and in interviews they're like they're always

00:15:05.830 --> 00:15:09.669
giving him props the guy was so talented um But

00:15:09.669 --> 00:15:12.389
anyhow, Dr. Demento is the guy that discovered

00:15:12.389 --> 00:15:17.970
Weird Al. And he did it just because he sent

00:15:17.970 --> 00:15:21.110
in a tape with nothing on it. And Dr. Demento

00:15:21.110 --> 00:15:23.610
was so genuine, he went over to the cassette

00:15:23.610 --> 00:15:26.409
tape. He played it. And he was like, you know

00:15:26.409 --> 00:15:29.730
what? That is really good. I'm going to play

00:15:29.730 --> 00:15:32.669
that on my show tonight. And when he did, people

00:15:32.669 --> 00:15:35.889
went nuts. It was an instant hit. People loved

00:15:35.889 --> 00:15:39.779
it. And people like me and you. got to know Weird

00:15:39.779 --> 00:15:42.960
Al Yankovic because of Dr. Demento. And a lot

00:15:42.960 --> 00:15:44.740
of other artists, too. I mean, Barnes & Barnes

00:15:44.740 --> 00:15:46.519
wouldn't have been nearly as big if it wasn't

00:15:46.519 --> 00:15:50.639
for him. I mean, there are so many other ones

00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:53.820
that I could mention. I mean, anybody that knows

00:15:53.820 --> 00:15:57.460
what we're talking about knows exactly, you know,

00:15:57.480 --> 00:16:01.480
what we're talking about, per se. The guy was

00:16:01.480 --> 00:16:05.100
so vast in everything that he did. So, but...

00:16:05.710 --> 00:16:08.230
Weird Al hearing his song on the radio was the

00:16:08.230 --> 00:16:11.029
most stunning moments in Yankovic's life. It

00:16:11.029 --> 00:16:14.490
just went nuts, he said. I ran around the house

00:16:14.490 --> 00:16:16.590
screaming. I couldn't believe it. Yankovic kept

00:16:16.590 --> 00:16:19.649
submitting songs and was a mainstay on the program

00:16:19.649 --> 00:16:23.789
by the time he became a student at California

00:16:23.789 --> 00:16:27.610
Polytechnic State University. Early classics

00:16:27.610 --> 00:16:32.429
like My Bologna. Remember that one? Yes. Another

00:16:32.429 --> 00:16:37.419
one rides the bus. That was a great one. Definitely.

00:16:37.799 --> 00:16:40.580
They were all first heard on the Dr. Demento

00:16:40.580 --> 00:16:42.820
show. And why were they first heard on the Dr.

00:16:42.879 --> 00:16:46.039
Demento show? Because Dr. Demento discovered

00:16:46.039 --> 00:16:50.200
him. Dr. Demento gave him a chance. Not just

00:16:50.200 --> 00:16:53.559
him. He played a lot of parody artists. Yeah,

00:16:53.600 --> 00:16:56.820
he played the first in a lot of stuff. A lot

00:16:56.820 --> 00:17:01.539
of stuff. Yeah, he did. Yeah, and Yankovic often

00:17:01.539 --> 00:17:05.609
credited the DJ. I have a problem with him calling

00:17:05.609 --> 00:17:09.809
him a DJ. Dr. Demento was so much more than a

00:17:09.809 --> 00:17:14.450
DJ, a disc jockey. No, he's... Yeah, he was.

00:17:14.549 --> 00:17:20.930
He was a musical professor. Yeah, he was a larger

00:17:20.930 --> 00:17:25.670
-than -life personality. He's seen talents in

00:17:25.670 --> 00:17:31.430
Weird Al that many people did not see. And look

00:17:31.430 --> 00:17:36.470
at Weird Al now. Yeah. And, you know, not only

00:17:36.470 --> 00:17:39.130
launching Weird Al's career, but inspiring him

00:17:39.130 --> 00:17:41.650
to record parody songs in the first place. In

00:17:41.650 --> 00:17:45.589
2022, Mock Biopic, Weird Al, The Yankovic Story,

00:17:45.890 --> 00:17:54.029
Dr. Demento was played by Ryan Wilson. So, that's

00:17:54.029 --> 00:17:56.710
all I got of that one. Let me see if I have something

00:17:56.710 --> 00:18:01.180
else. I don't know. I do have more stuff. You

00:18:01.180 --> 00:18:03.039
know what, I'll go into a little bit of it, and

00:18:03.039 --> 00:18:05.400
then we'll go into some of your stuff, Rob. That

00:18:05.400 --> 00:18:08.559
sound like a plan? Okay. Yeah. All right. Like

00:18:08.559 --> 00:18:11.980
always. Yep, yep, like always. You guys know

00:18:11.980 --> 00:18:15.319
the drill now, so. And if you don't, you'll know

00:18:15.319 --> 00:18:19.619
it because we said it is. Anyhow, I was at Walmart

00:18:19.619 --> 00:18:22.680
getting my mom's prescriptions and her protein

00:18:22.680 --> 00:18:24.859
drinks and a few other items, including a bottle

00:18:24.859 --> 00:18:27.460
of refillable bubbles for the water gun I got

00:18:27.460 --> 00:18:30.190
the six -year -old grandkid. She ran out of bubble

00:18:30.190 --> 00:18:32.529
solution hitting the dogs or anything in her

00:18:32.529 --> 00:18:35.630
way with hundreds of tiny bubbles, which is very

00:18:35.630 --> 00:18:39.269
cool. Even I partaked in that. You would too,

00:18:39.410 --> 00:18:44.529
right? Oh, yeah. I don't have to go to the store

00:18:44.529 --> 00:18:48.470
and make bubbles. Well, this solution works better

00:18:48.470 --> 00:18:50.750
than like Dawn or something like that. I mean,

00:18:50.769 --> 00:18:53.869
it actually creates more bubbles. And it was

00:18:53.869 --> 00:18:55.490
only like a couple of bucks. I was like, you

00:18:55.490 --> 00:18:57.569
know, and it's also cool to come home with a

00:18:57.569 --> 00:18:59.650
big thing of, hey, here's some more bubbles.

00:18:59.809 --> 00:19:03.990
Yeah, you know, so. Well, blew my idea out of

00:19:03.990 --> 00:19:08.750
the air. What was your idea? It works, but not

00:19:08.750 --> 00:19:11.869
like that solution. You'll get a few bubbles,

00:19:11.990 --> 00:19:13.970
but that solution, whatever they put in it, it

00:19:13.970 --> 00:19:16.329
creates thousands of little bubbles. Not thousands,

00:19:16.430 --> 00:19:25.500
but you know. You know what? I might try that

00:19:25.500 --> 00:19:28.859
one time. But anyhow, it just made sense. It

00:19:28.859 --> 00:19:30.619
was right there. I was getting other stuff. It

00:19:30.619 --> 00:19:32.759
was a couple bucks. And also just cool taking

00:19:32.759 --> 00:19:34.640
it home and going, hey, look what I got. What?

00:19:34.759 --> 00:19:38.339
More bubbles. Yeah! You know? Who's the hero,

00:19:38.480 --> 00:19:41.960
right? There you go. Yep. I know the deal with

00:19:41.960 --> 00:19:44.579
my little man. Yep. Yep. You know who the hero

00:19:44.579 --> 00:19:48.630
is. You bring home bubbles. Okay, so at Walmart,

00:19:48.829 --> 00:19:51.170
an associate was pimping that you can enter your

00:19:51.170 --> 00:19:53.470
phone number and have your receipt sent to your

00:19:53.470 --> 00:19:56.829
phone via text message. You can have all your

00:19:56.829 --> 00:19:59.130
receipts on your phone for returns or what have

00:19:59.130 --> 00:20:02.349
you. She went on to explain that all you have

00:20:02.349 --> 00:20:04.349
to do is enter your text and your phone number

00:20:04.349 --> 00:20:09.309
and bam, you're all set. Rob, do you know what

00:20:09.309 --> 00:20:14.009
happened? What? Okay, if you do that, you'll

00:20:14.009 --> 00:20:15.869
get a shit ton of advertisements on your phone.

00:20:20.029 --> 00:20:25.930
Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So, you know, I mean, no, no,

00:20:25.950 --> 00:20:27.630
no. What it's going to be is it's like, come

00:20:27.630 --> 00:20:31.349
on in, come on in the night. Well, I would have

00:20:31.349 --> 00:20:34.190
put my phone number in for that, Rob. So, you

00:20:34.190 --> 00:20:37.390
know, Oh, wait a minute. Wait a minute. What

00:20:37.390 --> 00:20:39.250
am I saying? No, I wouldn't. You're right. No,

00:20:39.369 --> 00:20:47.460
I would block that horrible number. Yeah. Oh,

00:20:47.460 --> 00:20:51.119
that's right. Yeah, hookers bad. Cocaine bad.

00:20:51.660 --> 00:20:57.380
No, no, no. I'm still in the 80s. Oh, shit. That

00:20:57.380 --> 00:21:00.119
reminds me. I've got to find some old pictures

00:21:00.119 --> 00:21:02.819
of me with the long black hair because a guy

00:21:02.819 --> 00:21:05.099
that I used to know, I worked with a guy that

00:21:05.099 --> 00:21:07.839
knew me a long time ago when we just found this

00:21:07.839 --> 00:21:11.039
out a few weeks ago. And in front of some friends,

00:21:11.160 --> 00:21:13.940
he said, yeah, Mark used to have long black hair.

00:21:14.019 --> 00:21:16.849
And everyone's like, uh -uh. Bring in some pics.

00:21:17.329 --> 00:21:21.230
So I got to find it. So I got to find some. I

00:21:21.230 --> 00:21:23.650
will. I got some somewhere around here. Or if

00:21:23.650 --> 00:21:26.329
not, I'll ask other people. Because I was usually

00:21:26.329 --> 00:21:29.569
smashed and not taking pictures. Everybody else

00:21:29.569 --> 00:21:34.950
was. Hey, tell everybody your podcast co -host

00:21:34.950 --> 00:21:39.869
swears that you used to look like Blackie Lawless.

00:21:40.349 --> 00:21:44.140
Yes. You did. You did. I've heard that. I've

00:21:44.140 --> 00:21:46.559
heard Ozzy. I've heard everything, pretty much.

00:21:46.680 --> 00:21:50.119
No, Blackie Lawless, too. Okay, all right. Yeah,

00:21:50.180 --> 00:21:53.240
you're more Blackie. Okay, that's cool. I'll

00:21:53.240 --> 00:21:55.980
take that. I like Blackie. Went to go see him

00:21:55.980 --> 00:22:00.000
last year, actually. I know. Yeah, he kind of

00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:02.200
looks like an old transvestite now, but I still

00:22:02.200 --> 00:22:06.779
love him. Well, back in the 80s. He's almost

00:22:06.779 --> 00:22:10.240
70. He's almost 70. He's almost 70, you know,

00:22:10.240 --> 00:22:16.839
so I've got to give him more credit there. Yeah,

00:22:16.960 --> 00:22:18.740
yeah. It's like, oh, I really look just like

00:22:18.740 --> 00:22:23.180
a chick? Fuck yeah! So, anyhow. And then the

00:22:23.180 --> 00:22:25.339
guys would be behind us calling us gay or something.

00:22:25.440 --> 00:22:27.440
They wouldn't have any chicks. We'd have all

00:22:27.440 --> 00:22:30.259
of them. I'd just turn around and go, where's

00:22:30.259 --> 00:22:34.720
your girls at? Oh, your hand? That don't count.

00:22:36.220 --> 00:22:39.519
So, okay, so I'm sitting there and I thought,

00:22:39.599 --> 00:22:42.859
hmm, who would I really like to ruin their week?

00:22:44.839 --> 00:22:47.880
So, Let's just say this asshole that was a lead

00:22:47.880 --> 00:22:50.059
man at that shithole I used to work at is probably

00:22:50.059 --> 00:23:00.940
getting a lot of ads right now. Allegedly. I'm

00:23:00.940 --> 00:23:02.799
pretty sure right now he's getting two -for -one

00:23:02.799 --> 00:23:09.500
M &Ms at 9 a .m. at your local Walmart. Oh, and

00:23:09.500 --> 00:23:14.319
then, to cap things off, before I put in the...

00:23:14.539 --> 00:23:17.440
Um, this, uh, nobody would, nobody's number.

00:23:17.599 --> 00:23:20.900
I just made one up before I did that. Nobody's

00:23:20.900 --> 00:23:24.319
number before I put that in. Um, they have a,

00:23:24.380 --> 00:23:28.460
what this thing called Walmart radio. And, uh,

00:23:28.559 --> 00:23:30.839
that's what it's called. And they go, Hey, yeah,

00:23:30.940 --> 00:23:33.740
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Woo. Yeah. We got

00:23:33.740 --> 00:23:36.980
Walmart radio on the line and all this shit.

00:23:37.000 --> 00:23:42.450
And you're like, fuck. So Walmart radio. Yeah,

00:23:42.450 --> 00:23:45.890
yeah, yeah, you know. So it's playing loud over

00:23:45.890 --> 00:23:47.650
the speakers so everybody can hear it, you know,

00:23:47.650 --> 00:23:50.170
and you got the fucking awful thing, the chuckle

00:23:50.170 --> 00:23:52.349
nut hut, you know. It's called the Chris Show.

00:23:53.269 --> 00:23:55.890
They laugh all over themselves. They do shout

00:23:55.890 --> 00:24:00.130
outs as well. It's embarrassing. You know, I

00:24:00.130 --> 00:24:03.420
always bitch. about people wearing earbuds so

00:24:03.420 --> 00:24:05.640
they can't hear anybody. And then if like, you

00:24:05.640 --> 00:24:08.559
know, like they drop something or, or you're

00:24:08.559 --> 00:24:10.259
trying to get around them, they can't hear you

00:24:10.259 --> 00:24:12.319
because they're wearing earbuds with that Chris

00:24:12.319 --> 00:24:14.519
show playing at a fucking Walmart. I'm going

00:24:14.519 --> 00:24:16.359
to start putting those in. So I don't have to

00:24:16.359 --> 00:24:20.240
hear that bullshit. It is, it is such a nut hut

00:24:20.240 --> 00:24:23.680
thing. Yay. Oh yeah. Hey, who is this? Oh yeah,

00:24:23.740 --> 00:24:27.180
yeah, yeah. Hey, uh, hey, Betty says hi to everybody

00:24:27.180 --> 00:24:30.789
in Albuquerque. And I'm like going, fuck Betty

00:24:30.789 --> 00:24:34.509
and fuck Albuquerque and fuck you. So it's a

00:24:34.509 --> 00:24:39.349
huge bowl of suck. All right. Whoa, whoa, whoa,

00:24:39.349 --> 00:24:42.109
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You can't be saying that

00:24:42.109 --> 00:24:46.730
shit no more. We have listeners worldwide. You

00:24:46.730 --> 00:24:49.309
can't be saying fuck everybody no more, dude.

00:24:49.509 --> 00:24:51.609
You know what? You're right. You're right. Okay.

00:24:53.410 --> 00:24:59.000
How about. No, you can't say it. How about. Gentle,

00:24:59.119 --> 00:25:04.319
loving intercourse. Ooh, I like that. Okay. Gentle,

00:25:04.380 --> 00:25:09.380
loving intercourse, everybody, but only for procreation.

00:25:09.839 --> 00:25:13.400
No other reason. None of that nasty lust stuff.

00:25:13.460 --> 00:25:17.220
Nothing like that. Oh, well, I'm out. Me too.

00:25:18.119 --> 00:25:20.420
I have more stuff, but you know what? We're going

00:25:20.420 --> 00:25:22.440
on 20 minutes here, so we're going to go ahead

00:25:22.440 --> 00:25:32.339
and let you... Well, the more you get is the

00:25:32.339 --> 00:25:33.980
more chance you have of one of them wiping your

00:25:33.980 --> 00:25:38.619
ass for you. Exactly. Yeah, so you might need

00:25:38.619 --> 00:25:40.599
a couple, right? Can you depend on the two right

00:25:40.599 --> 00:25:43.940
now? No, no, no, no. I can depend on one, and

00:25:43.940 --> 00:25:46.799
I'm perfectly happy with that. Okay, you're going

00:25:46.799 --> 00:25:51.180
to take your chances, right? All right, Rob,

00:25:51.339 --> 00:26:05.779
we turn it to you. Yep. The time between buying

00:26:05.779 --> 00:26:10.140
the tickets to Showtime is so exciting. It is.

00:26:11.319 --> 00:26:15.119
Yeah. I got two tickets to Ozark Mount Daredevil's

00:26:15.119 --> 00:26:19.000
final tour. That's going to kick ass. This Saturday

00:26:19.000 --> 00:26:23.700
night. Sounds good. Oh, and you remember the

00:26:23.700 --> 00:26:26.700
girl I told you I wanted to put on the air? Yeah.

00:26:29.079 --> 00:26:40.339
Supposedly, I'm going to take her. Okay. Okay.

00:26:40.339 --> 00:26:43.059
Who was the one that went with me to the 38th

00:26:43.059 --> 00:26:46.779
special concert? The so caught up in you, little

00:26:46.779 --> 00:26:48.960
girl, you're the one that's got me down on my

00:26:48.960 --> 00:26:55.940
knees? No. No, that's a song lyric. Yeah, 38th

00:26:55.940 --> 00:26:58.960
special, yeah. It's so cheesy, I gotta sing it

00:26:58.960 --> 00:27:01.539
every time someone brings them up. Oh, dude,

00:27:01.680 --> 00:27:05.119
it was hilarious. Bleach Singer made fun of them.

00:27:05.859 --> 00:27:13.680
I know you can't. How many show tunes does the

00:27:13.680 --> 00:27:19.240
30s special done do? Show tunes? Yeah, they were

00:27:19.240 --> 00:27:24.859
in Back to the Future. They did many other songs.

00:27:25.200 --> 00:27:29.359
A lot of their songs in the 80s were show tunes.

00:27:30.460 --> 00:27:35.119
Oh, okay. They were on movies. Yeah, you know

00:27:35.119 --> 00:27:39.199
what? Okay, I was thinking of show tunes. Like

00:27:39.199 --> 00:27:41.640
Broadway? I got what you're saying. No, no, not

00:27:41.640 --> 00:27:44.680
Broadway. No, movies. Yeah, okay. Yeah, yeah.

00:27:44.740 --> 00:27:46.819
They were movie tracks. Yes, they were. You're

00:27:46.819 --> 00:27:49.400
right. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Yeah, and it was funny.

00:27:49.500 --> 00:27:53.299
The Link Center 3 special made fun because of

00:27:53.299 --> 00:27:56.099
it. Yeah. So, yeah, we're going for show turns.

00:27:56.319 --> 00:27:59.299
Well, back then, those were not that bad of lyrics.

00:27:59.420 --> 00:28:01.200
I mean, you know what I mean? They weren't that

00:28:01.200 --> 00:28:04.759
cheesy back then. So, caught up in you. Agreed.

00:28:04.940 --> 00:28:08.940
Agreed. Yeah. Agreed. Anyhow, go ahead. I'm sorry.

00:28:09.380 --> 00:28:14.579
Got this shit derailed. So when the day can be

00:28:14.579 --> 00:28:18.500
saved, fans are beyond appreciative. And when

00:28:18.500 --> 00:28:24.480
it turns out to be a level up win, well, that's

00:28:24.480 --> 00:28:31.299
the best possible outcome of all. Okay. I'm getting

00:28:31.299 --> 00:28:33.099
into the story of what happened. You're going

00:28:33.099 --> 00:28:41.630
to love this. I love this. Fans probably weren't

00:28:41.630 --> 00:28:45.829
expecting to feel the latter of Vince Neal's

00:28:45.829 --> 00:28:51.329
64 of Motley Crue canceled a Niagara Falls show

00:28:51.329 --> 00:28:56.269
unexpectedly. This was a solo gig? A Vince Neal

00:28:56.269 --> 00:29:13.309
solo gig? I'm guessing it's a solo gig. Okay.

00:29:13.309 --> 00:29:18.609
Ready? Mm -hmm. However, when Sebastian Bach

00:29:18.609 --> 00:29:25.170
of Skid Row, fame stepped in and even sang an

00:29:25.170 --> 00:29:30.849
iconic song, fans were not only thankful, they

00:29:30.849 --> 00:29:34.789
were saying it totally upgraded the show. Shut

00:29:34.789 --> 00:29:37.569
up, Josie. You know, they tour together a lot.

00:29:37.630 --> 00:29:40.809
I saw Sebastian Bach. opened up for Vince Neal

00:29:40.809 --> 00:29:45.930
and Queensryche with Todd LaTorre, not with Jeff

00:29:45.930 --> 00:29:51.089
Tate. I've seen them play. It was up in Omaha,

00:29:51.269 --> 00:29:54.109
and Sebastian Bach opened up for Vince Neal there,

00:29:54.210 --> 00:29:57.910
too. Interesting. Go ahead. They must play together

00:29:57.910 --> 00:30:03.309
a lot, I guess. Well, the Shout the Devil covers

00:30:03.309 --> 00:30:38.349
sparked a lot of conversation. Well, you know

00:30:38.349 --> 00:30:43.349
what? I agree with that. It sounds better than

00:30:43.349 --> 00:30:48.849
Vince Neal. Vince Neal is horrible. Okay, that's

00:30:48.849 --> 00:30:52.410
interesting because when I went to go watch Sebastian

00:30:52.410 --> 00:30:56.250
Bach lead off for Vince Neal, that's when ACDC...

00:30:57.579 --> 00:31:00.700
had the trouble with Brian Johnson not being

00:31:00.700 --> 00:31:03.480
able to hear, and they split up with him, and

00:31:03.480 --> 00:31:05.799
then they got back together. Whatever happened,

00:31:05.900 --> 00:31:09.119
that whole messy thing, right? And Axl Rose,

00:31:09.440 --> 00:31:13.359
you know, did shows with him until, I guess,

00:31:13.400 --> 00:31:15.900
until Brian Johnson came back or something like

00:31:15.900 --> 00:31:19.900
that. Right, right. But Sebastian Bach did TNT

00:31:19.900 --> 00:31:24.200
as an encore. He sounded dead on. You know, that's

00:31:24.200 --> 00:31:27.630
Bon Scott doing it. He sounded dead on. And then

00:31:27.630 --> 00:31:31.150
after that, after that concert, he did it at

00:31:31.150 --> 00:31:33.029
a couple other shows, too. And the big rumor

00:31:33.029 --> 00:31:35.130
back then was Sebastian Bach was going to be

00:31:35.130 --> 00:31:38.529
ACDC's interim lead singer, but it ended up being

00:31:38.529 --> 00:31:42.750
Axl Rose. So that's pretty interesting. Well,

00:31:47.589 --> 00:31:51.029
he's not with Skid Row anymore. That's what I'm

00:31:51.029 --> 00:31:58.009
saying. Oh, yeah, yeah. He's already suggested

00:31:58.009 --> 00:32:00.170
it. I guess they're just too much bad blood.

00:32:01.210 --> 00:32:04.150
Yeah, there is. That's the problem. Too much

00:32:04.150 --> 00:32:07.410
bad blood. The last I knew, if you can believe

00:32:07.410 --> 00:32:12.170
what you read in the press, the last I knew was

00:32:12.170 --> 00:32:14.869
they were in a huge fight and he said, you know

00:32:14.869 --> 00:32:16.549
what, I'd be willing to get back together with

00:32:16.549 --> 00:32:18.150
them. I think it'd be a good thing to do one

00:32:18.150 --> 00:32:21.390
last tour or something like that or even do another

00:32:21.390 --> 00:32:24.170
album. And they were like, no. We're not going

00:32:24.170 --> 00:32:26.089
to do it. And I don't even know who's singing

00:32:26.089 --> 00:32:28.910
for them now. But, man, they had a bunch of people.

00:32:28.950 --> 00:32:31.450
It just didn't fit them for a long time. I mean,

00:32:31.549 --> 00:32:34.849
they were trying to go too heavy. They were one

00:32:34.849 --> 00:32:37.829
of the fewest bands that started off kind of

00:32:37.829 --> 00:32:40.829
almost not quite bubble gum. But they were definitely

00:32:40.829 --> 00:32:43.150
glam, right? And then they went heavier with

00:32:43.150 --> 00:32:46.630
Slave to the Grind. And it did very well. But

00:32:46.630 --> 00:32:48.609
that's when Pantera and all these other bands

00:32:48.609 --> 00:32:51.839
were coming out. So it kind of worked well. you

00:32:51.839 --> 00:32:54.799
know, in tandem with the, the heavier. Yeah.

00:32:56.619 --> 00:32:59.759
But they were more successful. You know, they

00:32:59.759 --> 00:33:03.339
had, I remember you in 18 life and, and, uh,

00:33:03.359 --> 00:33:05.599
you've gone wild. You know, they had three really

00:33:05.599 --> 00:33:09.799
big radio songs. They did very well, but, um,

00:33:09.880 --> 00:33:12.420
slave to the grind actually did better sales

00:33:12.420 --> 00:33:15.799
wise monkey business. And, uh, they're, they're

00:33:15.799 --> 00:33:27.549
just a bunch of really good songs. Yeah. they

00:33:27.549 --> 00:33:31.450
built for you. Yeah. You hear a lot of Monkey

00:33:31.450 --> 00:33:35.269
Business. You hear a lot of, yeah, a lot of the

00:33:35.269 --> 00:33:38.609
other songs. Yeah. And I forgot how good that

00:33:38.609 --> 00:33:41.230
song is, too. Monkey Business is a very good

00:33:41.230 --> 00:33:43.890
song. It's great. Man, Sebastian's voice on that

00:33:43.890 --> 00:33:48.730
was just amazing. Amazing. And he can still sing

00:33:48.730 --> 00:33:50.470
when I hear, I mean, this is quite a few years

00:33:50.470 --> 00:33:52.990
ago. This is probably eight years, nine years

00:33:52.990 --> 00:33:58.069
ago now. Something like that. in Omaha, and his

00:33:58.069 --> 00:34:00.970
voice was spot on. I mean, he just sounded great.

00:34:03.089 --> 00:34:05.569
That's what they're saying. Sebastian Bach is

00:34:05.569 --> 00:34:08.750
on it. It was like 95 degrees outside, and he's

00:34:08.750 --> 00:34:10.630
still wearing the skin -tight leather fucking

00:34:10.630 --> 00:34:13.449
pants. I'm like, that dude's a trooper. That

00:34:13.449 --> 00:34:16.530
dude is a trooper. I'd be in fucking Bermudas.

00:34:17.150 --> 00:34:19.349
I'd be like, look, I may be a rocker, but it's

00:34:19.349 --> 00:34:21.170
hotter than fuck out here, so I'm going to wear

00:34:21.170 --> 00:34:25.280
Bermudas. That's interesting because now he's

00:34:25.280 --> 00:34:28.480
on Motley Crue's radar. The only problem is this

00:34:28.480 --> 00:34:31.320
right here. Motley Crue is not Motley Crue. They

00:34:31.320 --> 00:34:35.179
haven't been Motley Crue in a long time. Yeah,

00:34:35.179 --> 00:34:39.099
well, see, that's what I'm thinking. Like you

00:34:39.099 --> 00:34:41.300
said, the way the story reads, I think it was

00:34:41.300 --> 00:34:46.579
a solo gig that Vince Neil backed out of. Mm

00:34:46.579 --> 00:34:51.480
-hmm. And Sebastian Bob jumped in. That's not

00:34:51.480 --> 00:34:57.909
even... That's not unique for Vince Neil either.

00:34:58.010 --> 00:35:02.010
He is notorious for backing out. And I don't

00:35:02.010 --> 00:35:04.429
know if he has a drinking problem or a voice

00:35:04.429 --> 00:35:08.409
problem or all of the above. I know he had a

00:35:08.409 --> 00:35:11.070
lot of alcoholism problems in his life. He's

00:35:11.070 --> 00:35:13.789
had a lot of tragedy, some caused by him, some

00:35:13.789 --> 00:35:18.989
not. Well, he's had voice problems too. Well,

00:35:19.030 --> 00:35:22.210
that goes along with alcoholism too and the overweightness.

00:35:23.050 --> 00:35:24.650
You know, when you're out of breath, you really

00:35:24.650 --> 00:35:27.230
can't sing. You know, especially when you're

00:35:27.230 --> 00:35:30.949
trying to entertain people. You know, and he's

00:35:30.949 --> 00:35:34.849
huffing and puffing. Yeah, you put him and Axl

00:35:34.849 --> 00:35:38.489
Rose in the same category. You take the same

00:35:38.489 --> 00:35:42.010
person anymore. Buster Brown, or what do you

00:35:42.010 --> 00:35:44.989
call him? What do you call Axl Rose? I call him

00:35:44.989 --> 00:35:49.130
Buster Brown. Who's the guy that you... Oh, who

00:35:49.130 --> 00:35:54.800
was it? Dutch Boy Paint. Yeah, Dutch boy. Dutch

00:35:54.800 --> 00:35:57.139
boy, yeah. He looks like Dutch boy paint guy.

00:35:57.659 --> 00:36:03.920
Yeah. So, anyhow, yeah. All right, shall we go

00:36:03.920 --> 00:36:05.539
to our first break and then come back with some

00:36:05.539 --> 00:36:09.460
emails? Yeah, we probably should. Ms. Gulkenstein

00:36:09.460 --> 00:36:11.460
was tired of Mark and Toe for making sport of

00:36:11.460 --> 00:36:14.420
her. Little did the douchebags know Ms. Gulkenstein

00:36:14.420 --> 00:36:17.099
was a voodoo high priestess when she was younger.

00:36:17.699 --> 00:36:21.559
She grew angry and cast a spell on Rob. Changing

00:36:21.559 --> 00:36:26.199
Rob into a capuchin monkey. Mark took Rob to

00:36:26.199 --> 00:36:28.179
a local zoo so he could be with the other monkeys.

00:36:28.519 --> 00:36:32.360
Here are the adventures of Rob, the capuchin

00:36:32.360 --> 00:36:37.659
monkey. Shh, be very quiet. We're going to listen

00:36:37.659 --> 00:36:40.320
in as Rob, the capuchin monkey, tries to sell

00:36:40.320 --> 00:36:43.280
the rest of the capuchin monkeys Amway. Rob has

00:36:43.280 --> 00:36:45.719
always dreamed of becoming a diamond status Amway

00:36:45.719 --> 00:37:09.920
as a capuchin monkey. Little did our hero Rob

00:37:09.920 --> 00:37:13.380
know. All the great apes owned stock in Sam's

00:37:13.380 --> 00:37:15.500
Club and became violently pissed off when he

00:37:15.500 --> 00:37:18.260
tried to infringe on their territory. They promptly

00:37:18.260 --> 00:37:20.460
grabbed switches and beat his ass for three days

00:37:20.460 --> 00:37:31.320
straight. Rob could not sit down. Oh lord, that

00:37:31.320 --> 00:37:35.079
man just sawed a puppy in half. Hey there, don't

00:37:35.079 --> 00:37:45.000
worry, I have a clown nose. guy just hit my child.

00:37:45.440 --> 00:37:50.940
It is okay. I have a clown nose. Clown nose.

00:37:51.019 --> 00:37:54.039
Just put one on and you can do anything. Want

00:37:54.039 --> 00:37:57.199
to run for office? Murder people in public? Just

00:37:57.199 --> 00:38:01.440
grab a clown nose and bam! Everyone laughs. Clown

00:38:01.440 --> 00:38:03.179
noses are sold at keg stores online and pedophile

00:38:03.179 --> 00:38:04.840
conventions. Grab one today and make magic happen.

00:38:06.199 --> 00:38:08.619
Two douche bags, a microphone, and an effort

00:38:08.619 --> 00:38:13.710
to keep everything fresh. We offer you First

00:38:13.710 --> 00:38:19.110
world problems. Damn it. I can't decide between

00:38:19.110 --> 00:38:24.050
nachos, chili, or wings for the game tonight.

00:38:26.150 --> 00:38:28.849
This is bullshit. I should not have to make decisions

00:38:28.849 --> 00:38:32.730
like this. Hey there, fuckstick. You're just

00:38:32.730 --> 00:38:35.130
in time for brand new feature news nobody gives

00:38:35.130 --> 00:38:38.309
a shit about. Bumblebees have been proven to

00:38:38.309 --> 00:38:44.099
sing to their young. Have you ever wondered what

00:38:44.099 --> 00:38:46.320
something came about? Have you ever looked at

00:38:46.320 --> 00:38:48.460
something and said, Hey, I wonder what the origin

00:38:48.460 --> 00:38:52.159
of that is? Well, so have we. That's why we give

00:38:52.159 --> 00:38:58.539
you the origin of... The origin of the goatee.

00:38:58.619 --> 00:39:00.840
The goatee is a beard style that dates back to

00:39:00.840 --> 00:39:03.639
ancient Greece and Rome and is named for its

00:39:03.639 --> 00:39:07.139
resemblance to a goat's beard. The goatee has

00:39:07.139 --> 00:39:09.219
been worn by many famous men throughout history,

00:39:09.360 --> 00:39:12.980
including Uncle Sam, Henry M. Hoyt, and Mr. Spock.

00:39:13.199 --> 00:39:15.820
The gobham was often depicted with a goatee,

00:39:15.820 --> 00:39:18.460
and in medieval and Renaissance art, Satan was

00:39:18.460 --> 00:39:21.300
depicted with a goatee as well. The goatee became

00:39:21.300 --> 00:39:24.900
popular again in the 1940s as a defining trait

00:39:24.900 --> 00:39:28.130
of the beatniks and jazz musicians. It fell out

00:39:28.130 --> 00:39:30.969
of favor again in the 1960s, but became fashionable

00:39:30.969 --> 00:39:34.590
again in the 1990s and 2000s. The term goatee

00:39:34.590 --> 00:39:37.769
originated in the late 20th century. It was originally

00:39:37.769 --> 00:39:41.530
called a goatee. Hey, everybody, this is Uncle

00:39:41.530 --> 00:39:44.670
Rob. I'm going to give you some tips for life.

00:39:46.250 --> 00:39:51.010
This is Uncle Rob's rules to dick pics. Rule

00:39:51.010 --> 00:39:55.010
number one, title a pic in someone else's name

00:39:55.010 --> 00:39:59.760
as long as you get busted. It's not yours. Rule

00:39:59.760 --> 00:40:03.880
number two, shoot angles complementary to your

00:40:03.880 --> 00:40:10.079
length and girth. Rule number four, no propping

00:40:10.079 --> 00:40:31.409
of the leg. Time for pickup lines from a loser.

00:40:35.010 --> 00:40:37.349
There's something wrong with my phone. It doesn't

00:40:37.349 --> 00:40:42.170
have your number in it. This is Joshua Belmont,

00:40:42.230 --> 00:40:45.010
your food for thought man on the hustle. So I

00:40:45.010 --> 00:40:47.090
just realized a genius that gets absolutely no

00:40:47.090 --> 00:40:50.570
credit. His name is Marshall Taylor. He's credited

00:40:50.570 --> 00:40:52.849
with the first bag of salad mix that was bagged

00:40:52.849 --> 00:40:57.170
and sold. Yesterday was his birthday. I believe

00:40:57.170 --> 00:40:59.969
he is still alive. This guy's genius will never

00:40:59.969 --> 00:41:03.269
be fully appreciated. Before this ban, we settled

00:41:03.269 --> 00:41:05.690
for iceberg lettuce with maybe a couple of croutons

00:41:05.690 --> 00:41:08.670
and some cheese. Was Mr. Taylor satisfied with

00:41:08.670 --> 00:41:12.070
that? Hell no. He realized that Billy Americana

00:41:12.070 --> 00:41:14.070
would never go out and buy a couple of radishes,

00:41:14.269 --> 00:41:16.510
a couple of carrots, a head of purple cabbage,

00:41:16.670 --> 00:41:19.309
maybe snow peas, and possibly some cute romaine

00:41:19.309 --> 00:41:23.210
lettuce for extra bougie. Mr. Taylor, you should

00:41:23.210 --> 00:41:27.099
have a national holiday. Our constant pursuit

00:41:27.099 --> 00:41:30.739
for a real knee slapper. It's strange insults

00:41:30.739 --> 00:41:35.480
from an alien. Real hilarity. If you were a spice,

00:41:35.780 --> 00:41:50.199
you would be flour. Arm at the talk is cheap

00:41:50.199 --> 00:42:04.340
studio. You know, from the air, the Niangua arm

00:42:04.340 --> 00:42:06.539
actually kind of looks like an arm. Have you

00:42:06.539 --> 00:42:11.599
noticed that? Yes. It's pretty interesting. All

00:42:11.599 --> 00:42:15.719
right. Well, like promised, I have some emails,

00:42:15.900 --> 00:42:19.019
so I guess we'll go into them. All right. Hey,

00:42:19.079 --> 00:42:21.639
guys. I hope you mentioned the retirement of

00:42:21.639 --> 00:42:26.179
Dr. Demento. Check. That guy was the best. I

00:42:26.179 --> 00:42:28.659
still listen to his archives online. So do I.

00:42:28.900 --> 00:42:31.360
I can honestly see his influence in your podcast.

00:42:31.880 --> 00:42:36.519
Thank you, thank you, thank you. That is probably

00:42:36.519 --> 00:42:38.559
the best compliment we've ever gotten. Oh, my

00:42:38.559 --> 00:42:42.280
God, yes. I'm honored by that, for real. No joke,

00:42:42.480 --> 00:42:46.059
really. Well, we grew up on him, so he's part

00:42:46.059 --> 00:42:53.480
of our DJ. People we remember that we tried to

00:42:53.480 --> 00:42:58.039
beat. Yeah, he's Mount Rushmore of entertainers.

00:42:58.099 --> 00:43:09.369
Yeah, yeah. No, 99 .7. Yep. We got 98 .9 The

00:43:09.369 --> 00:43:12.489
Rock out of Kansas City, you know. Yep. And then

00:43:12.489 --> 00:43:16.230
we got Mancow. We got all the bigs, you know.

00:43:16.269 --> 00:43:20.889
All the bigs. Let's see. What was that? Oh, yeah,

00:43:20.949 --> 00:43:23.510
yeah, The Rock. They have destroyed that brand,

00:43:23.670 --> 00:43:25.829
dude. If you get a chance. Oh, I believe it.

00:43:25.909 --> 00:43:33.059
Yeah, I have not. It's embarrassing. Not only

00:43:33.059 --> 00:43:35.800
their song list, but their imaging and everything.

00:43:35.960 --> 00:43:41.239
It's just horrible. It doesn't make sense. The

00:43:41.239 --> 00:43:45.320
imaging doesn't even appeal to rockers. I know

00:43:45.320 --> 00:43:49.219
this because I'm a rocker. It is boring, stupid.

00:43:49.619 --> 00:43:51.760
I agree they needed to change their imaging.

00:43:51.900 --> 00:43:54.480
They've had it forever. Unless you have something

00:43:54.480 --> 00:43:58.340
iconic like KY with a yellow and black or something

00:43:58.340 --> 00:44:03.429
like that. This thing's just boring. And it doesn't

00:44:03.429 --> 00:44:06.429
make any sense. Okay, Mark. Okay, Mark. Okay.

00:44:06.650 --> 00:44:12.010
What is the golden rule in construction? The

00:44:12.010 --> 00:44:15.610
golden rule in construction? There are so many

00:44:15.610 --> 00:44:19.230
of them. Tell me. What is it? If it ain't broke,

00:44:19.369 --> 00:44:24.349
don't fix it. Oh. I don't know how I missed that.

00:44:24.690 --> 00:44:28.710
Yes. And they shouldn't have fixed it. Or think

00:44:28.710 --> 00:44:31.510
they did. Exactly. Well, everybody was familiar

00:44:31.510 --> 00:44:33.989
with that, whether you like it or not. And I

00:44:33.989 --> 00:44:36.150
was kind of tired of it, but you're right. You're

00:44:36.150 --> 00:44:38.170
right. Everybody was familiar with it. And now

00:44:38.170 --> 00:44:41.150
that they dicked with it, it's like, you know.

00:44:41.289 --> 00:44:44.409
Nobody can stand it. Yeah, I'll put it like this.

00:44:44.449 --> 00:44:49.429
Yeah. We're going to go broke real quick. I think

00:44:49.429 --> 00:44:54.550
they're already broke. That's probably why they

00:44:54.550 --> 00:44:58.420
got rid of Johnny. It is. That's right. Look,

00:44:58.460 --> 00:45:01.980
I mean, the thing is, is this right here. That

00:45:01.980 --> 00:45:05.119
former radio is probably dead. I mean, you know,

00:45:05.139 --> 00:45:07.519
it doesn't bring in enough ad revenue, evidently,

00:45:07.519 --> 00:45:12.380
and that sucks. So even Icon, I thought it did,

00:45:12.420 --> 00:45:14.760
too. But I've been reading a lot of articles.

00:45:14.880 --> 00:45:17.820
If they're true, it kind of sounds like, you

00:45:17.820 --> 00:45:20.400
know, he still did well in the ratings. It's

00:45:20.400 --> 00:45:23.420
just like the money isn't there. You know, the

00:45:23.420 --> 00:45:25.920
advertisement just isn't there. They're finding

00:45:25.920 --> 00:45:30.099
online ways to advertise. It's the company. Yeah,

00:45:30.199 --> 00:45:31.960
it probably is. They probably don't have any

00:45:31.960 --> 00:45:34.420
salesmen, and then they blame the radio show.

00:45:34.900 --> 00:45:38.260
That happens all the time. So anyhow, all right.

00:45:39.079 --> 00:45:42.960
Love you all. By the way, I too am micro -retiring,

00:45:43.019 --> 00:45:45.460
but I still have my job. I need a few mental

00:45:45.460 --> 00:45:47.559
health weeks, and my employer was kind enough

00:45:47.559 --> 00:45:51.289
to let me. Love you guys. I so wish you could

00:45:51.289 --> 00:45:55.010
do five shows or more a week. We do too. I'm

00:45:55.010 --> 00:45:57.750
saying this as a compliment, not a request. I

00:45:57.750 --> 00:45:59.949
will gladly take what you're able to produce.

00:46:00.070 --> 00:46:04.929
Ronnie and Tulsa, the Tulsa King. Love you, Ronnie.

00:46:05.329 --> 00:46:11.389
All of this. If we could, we would. I wish we

00:46:11.389 --> 00:46:13.789
could do 30 a week. This is what we love to do.

00:46:20.769 --> 00:46:26.289
Cool. If I wanted to, I could. Yeah, you could.

00:46:26.530 --> 00:46:30.409
You know how I'm wired, dude. I've got to work

00:46:30.409 --> 00:46:35.030
my ass off. You're in good so well with your

00:46:35.030 --> 00:46:36.769
company. You could probably go to them and say,

00:46:36.829 --> 00:46:40.429
hey, I need a month off. You probably could do

00:46:40.429 --> 00:46:57.070
that if you want. Okay. No, no, no. That's fine.

00:46:57.289 --> 00:46:59.670
I'll explain later off here. Okay. That's fine.

00:46:59.869 --> 00:47:02.610
I've told you about the surgery I need. Uh -huh.

00:47:02.610 --> 00:47:06.610
Yeah. Yeah. It's getting time. Okay. No, no.

00:47:07.889 --> 00:47:12.989
Okay. I am the director, not the boss. I have

00:47:12.989 --> 00:47:16.090
a clear vision of what we need to do, and I think

00:47:16.090 --> 00:47:18.610
it's right. We're doing pretty well. That's all.

00:47:18.769 --> 00:47:24.210
Yeah. I know. Okay, no, that's cool. I appreciate

00:47:24.210 --> 00:47:27.929
that. Okay, so Ronnie, thank you. You are royalty,

00:47:28.170 --> 00:47:32.510
always will be. Yes. Enjoy yourself. Keep doing

00:47:32.510 --> 00:47:35.230
it. I love the fact you're still breaking us

00:47:35.230 --> 00:47:37.869
off emails. This is awesome. Yes. Thank you.

00:47:37.869 --> 00:47:40.110
We always enjoy your emails, that's for sure.

00:47:42.110 --> 00:47:45.349
Rob, I got my guy Butchie with his homemade prison

00:47:45.349 --> 00:47:47.909
tattoo gun ready to administer your fuckhammer

00:47:47.909 --> 00:47:51.309
tattoo. And Butchie will throw in a Mitch tattoo

00:47:51.309 --> 00:47:54.449
on your right butt cheek for free. See you soon,

00:47:54.610 --> 00:47:59.070
Bestie. Mitch, Rob's Bestie in South Central

00:47:59.070 --> 00:48:01.590
Cass County Fire District No. 4, Massey Creek

00:48:01.590 --> 00:48:08.329
Arm. Rob? Awesome. Awesome. There you go. It's

00:48:08.329 --> 00:48:12.250
going in the middle of my back. Okay. Middle

00:48:12.250 --> 00:48:14.110
of my back. Fuckhammer in the middle of your

00:48:14.110 --> 00:48:16.230
back and then on the right butt cheek, Mitch.

00:48:21.610 --> 00:48:24.130
Well, Butchie, I think Butchie can do it. You

00:48:24.130 --> 00:48:26.510
forget, you forget. I have been in the hairy

00:48:26.510 --> 00:48:30.250
-ass Olympics. Yes. I hear you could braid him.

00:48:30.329 --> 00:48:33.070
There's good reason I could win it, to be honest.

00:48:33.730 --> 00:48:36.150
Didn't you get dreadlocks one time on your ass

00:48:36.150 --> 00:48:42.110
cheeks? I could. Oh, okay. Mitch, you got yourself

00:48:42.110 --> 00:48:44.010
a deal there, it sounds like. You better get

00:48:44.010 --> 00:48:50.889
ready. Rob's on his way. Next one. The new Taylor

00:48:50.889 --> 00:48:54.449
guy. Oh, that's going to be the name of the Trump

00:48:54.449 --> 00:48:58.969
douchebag mobile. Douchebag mobile, yeah. That's

00:48:58.969 --> 00:49:01.530
going to be the name of the tight douchebag mobile.

00:49:02.389 --> 00:49:09.010
Cool. Sounds good to me. I think you should throw

00:49:09.010 --> 00:49:11.530
lollipops at people driving down the road slowly

00:49:11.530 --> 00:49:14.989
over near the Bagnell Dam. Go up Bagnell Dam.

00:49:15.090 --> 00:49:18.420
Exactly. That's the shit I need. Yeah. Well,

00:49:18.420 --> 00:49:19.500
they're out there on the boat. If you want to

00:49:19.500 --> 00:49:22.639
be a morning radio show, let's do it. I'll do

00:49:22.639 --> 00:49:27.440
it. Yeah, throw out lollipops and bumper stickers.

00:49:28.039 --> 00:49:31.440
Get a boat. Have naked chicks on there handing

00:49:31.440 --> 00:49:34.559
out fucking bumper stickers. I'm going to have

00:49:34.559 --> 00:49:36.480
to film it. I'm going to have to film it. All

00:49:36.480 --> 00:49:39.800
right. If you don't have pictures, it didn't

00:49:39.800 --> 00:49:43.519
happen. Remember that? Yeah, I do remember that.

00:49:43.579 --> 00:49:46.179
I had a couple of albums, I think I told about

00:49:46.179 --> 00:49:50.530
it on the show. Every time they say pictures

00:49:50.530 --> 00:49:53.809
or you're lying, don't do it. Because then they

00:49:53.809 --> 00:49:55.710
flog you. They're like, hey, he really does have

00:49:55.710 --> 00:49:58.750
that album. And then you're just like, you're

00:49:58.750 --> 00:50:00.469
like fending everybody off going, I don't want

00:50:00.469 --> 00:50:02.949
to sell it, guys. I just, everyone else is showing

00:50:02.949 --> 00:50:07.570
their stuff. So, okay, anyhow. The new Taylor

00:50:07.570 --> 00:50:10.190
guy with the salad mix is funny. Oh, yeah, yeah,

00:50:10.230 --> 00:50:13.750
yeah, yeah. What'd you think, Rob? Yeah. Oh,

00:50:13.789 --> 00:50:17.130
I love it. Yeah, the salad mix guy. I forgot.

00:50:17.940 --> 00:50:24.119
Taylor. Shit, I even forgot the creation. Anyhow.

00:50:25.760 --> 00:50:31.340
Taylor Belmont. Taylor Belmont. Taylor Belmont.

00:50:31.500 --> 00:50:34.980
Okay. The new Taylor guy with the salad mix is

00:50:34.980 --> 00:50:37.519
funny. I love it. I hope this will be a regular

00:50:37.519 --> 00:50:40.789
feature. Bonnie and St. Charles. Yeah, it's going

00:50:40.789 --> 00:50:42.449
to be a regular feature, but it's not just going

00:50:42.449 --> 00:50:44.130
to be Taylor Belmont. It's going to be other

00:50:44.130 --> 00:50:46.309
people. It's just like the music news. You know,

00:50:46.309 --> 00:50:51.869
the music news, we have, shit, Dash Riptide,

00:50:52.090 --> 00:50:59.230
Johnny Rohypnol. Yes, yes. Rip Blankenship, who

00:50:59.230 --> 00:51:02.269
I'm yet to introduce. And who is the smooth jazz

00:51:02.269 --> 00:51:10.469
guy? Shit. Something the third. Don't fuck. Anyhow.

00:51:10.489 --> 00:51:13.690
All right. Um, Bonnie. Yeah, it's going to go

00:51:13.690 --> 00:51:16.909
on. And, uh, all it is is simply people that

00:51:16.909 --> 00:51:19.710
need recognition. Like this guy that came up

00:51:19.710 --> 00:51:25.969
with salad mix. Yes. Uh, recognition to St. Charles,

00:51:25.969 --> 00:51:31.210
to the St. Louis area. Valterres. St. Charles.

00:51:31.530 --> 00:51:36.369
Huh? Valterres. St. Charles, where she is from.

00:51:36.510 --> 00:51:41.150
Uh -huh. It's Missouri, like up around St. Louis.

00:51:41.210 --> 00:51:44.250
Yeah, over close to St. Louis, yeah. Yeah, shout

00:51:44.250 --> 00:51:47.030
out to them. Yeah, we love you guys. St. Charles,

00:51:47.130 --> 00:51:49.170
I saw Deep Purple and Alice Cooper open up for

00:51:49.170 --> 00:51:52.150
them at the Hollywood Amphitheater. Very cool

00:51:52.150 --> 00:51:56.190
show and a really cool amphitheater. Something

00:51:56.190 --> 00:52:02.989
Valtares III. Damn it. Oh, well. Hey, guys. LA

00:52:02.989 --> 00:52:05.730
checking in. I listen to every drop. Keep up

00:52:05.730 --> 00:52:08.420
the entertainment, please. Tonya. Thank you,

00:52:08.420 --> 00:52:10.739
Tonya. And I guess you're from L .A. Sounds like.

00:52:12.420 --> 00:52:17.000
Thank you. We plan on it. Next one. Thanks for

00:52:17.000 --> 00:52:21.079
what? Oh, go ahead. What? Oh, I said yes. Oh,

00:52:21.119 --> 00:52:24.000
OK. Sorry. You know, I can't hear. All right.

00:52:24.880 --> 00:52:27.760
Thanks for thanks for the weather update. So

00:52:27.760 --> 00:52:31.880
I have so much fun. Oh, and another thing. I'm

00:52:31.880 --> 00:52:34.599
going to rearrange the podcast room here to where

00:52:34.599 --> 00:52:37.099
I can get my guitar and turn on my amp and be

00:52:37.099 --> 00:52:38.800
here. And then it's going to be a whole other

00:52:38.800 --> 00:52:44.360
element. We'll see how many listeners we have

00:52:44.360 --> 00:52:50.940
after that. You are him, everybody. It's him,

00:52:51.019 --> 00:52:54.519
not me. I'm going to single -handedly destroy

00:52:54.519 --> 00:52:58.199
this podcast. You're welcome. I'm on my cell

00:52:58.199 --> 00:53:01.019
phone and a pair of ear pods. He's got everything.

00:53:01.400 --> 00:53:02.980
Oh my God, you're going to take your ear pods

00:53:02.980 --> 00:53:06.820
out after I get to strumming. All right. Thanks

00:53:06.820 --> 00:53:11.880
for the weather update, assholes. I no longer

00:53:11.880 --> 00:53:15.440
need Excedrin PM. Clint in Clarksville. This

00:53:15.440 --> 00:53:21.920
actually made me chuckle. Clint, you got a good

00:53:21.920 --> 00:53:23.780
one. You got a little zinger in on us. That was

00:53:23.780 --> 00:53:30.539
pretty good. But Excedrin PM? There's so much

00:53:30.539 --> 00:53:35.699
better stuff, Mitch. Excedrin PM, come on. Get

00:53:35.699 --> 00:53:39.579
with it. Okay, Clint. I'll play Clint. How long

00:53:39.579 --> 00:53:42.239
has it been since we've heard from you, Clint?

00:53:43.199 --> 00:53:46.380
No, I haven't been reading them off. I haven't

00:53:46.380 --> 00:53:48.239
been reading them off because they've been kind

00:53:48.239 --> 00:53:52.000
of boring. Oh, come on. He doesn't email every

00:53:52.000 --> 00:53:55.179
week, but I'd say once a month he sends something

00:53:55.179 --> 00:53:58.239
off. And this actually was funny, so I was like,

00:53:58.320 --> 00:53:59.800
you know what, we'll give Clint a bone here.

00:53:59.820 --> 00:54:07.179
And also, thanks for listening. Yeah, and I don't

00:54:07.179 --> 00:54:09.519
think that Clint really hates us because he keeps

00:54:09.519 --> 00:54:14.360
listening, obviously. Which, it sounds like from

00:54:14.360 --> 00:54:18.380
here on out, any battle with you and Mitch, I'm

00:54:18.380 --> 00:54:20.239
going to have to take up with Mitch because I

00:54:20.239 --> 00:54:22.679
guess we're besties now. That's the way it sounds.

00:54:22.940 --> 00:54:25.780
Hey, I'm on Mitch's bandwagon, too. Oh, yeah?

00:54:25.860 --> 00:54:28.260
Well, I'll team up with Clint. There you go.

00:54:31.360 --> 00:54:34.760
But anyhow, I will leave Narcan alone, Clint,

00:54:34.880 --> 00:54:37.039
because we need your downloads. That's what I

00:54:37.039 --> 00:54:39.579
was going to ask. How do you do without Narcan,

00:54:39.659 --> 00:54:43.059
Clint? That's my question. Well, he's still around,

00:54:43.179 --> 00:54:45.300
so I'm going to go ahead and leave all the Narcan

00:54:45.300 --> 00:54:48.480
alone, and then that way you can keep downloading

00:54:48.480 --> 00:54:56.199
our show. Maybe he got out of rehab. Yes. He

00:54:56.199 --> 00:54:58.659
must have had his own Narcan. He probably has

00:54:58.659 --> 00:55:01.840
that in the... And an AFib and the adrenaline

00:55:01.840 --> 00:55:04.179
needle and all that right next to him. Home remedy.

00:55:04.480 --> 00:55:07.380
Home remedy. Yeah, in front of Dollar General.

00:55:08.219 --> 00:55:10.760
It's a home remedy. In front of Dollar General

00:55:10.760 --> 00:55:12.900
where he sits there with his little tin can.

00:55:13.039 --> 00:55:14.699
I'm sure he's got all those right next to him.

00:55:15.579 --> 00:55:17.860
He's probably been out in the hills searching

00:55:17.860 --> 00:55:23.960
for a certain plant. Or searching for sheep that

00:55:23.960 --> 00:55:32.400
are lost. Whatever. Come here. Come here. The

00:55:32.400 --> 00:55:36.559
sheep hear a zipper and they all run off. Isn't

00:55:36.559 --> 00:55:41.079
that right, Clint? Yeah? All right. Rob, what

00:55:41.079 --> 00:55:44.199
type of honey do you use on your biscuits? Teresa

00:55:44.199 --> 00:55:48.300
and Rosemont. Did you ever say you use honey

00:55:48.300 --> 00:56:02.139
on your biscuits? Oh, you think it's a little

00:56:02.139 --> 00:56:05.659
inside? Well, no, no, no, no. She's asking what

00:56:05.659 --> 00:56:09.619
kind of honey on my biscuits. Okay. My honey

00:56:09.619 --> 00:56:16.780
is white with sausage. Biscuits are creamy. There

00:56:16.780 --> 00:56:21.179
you go. Very cool. Very clever. I knew where

00:56:21.179 --> 00:56:23.900
you were going with that. Yep. Very good. I do

00:56:23.900 --> 00:56:26.719
like honey on a biscuit. Yeah. Yeah, honey on

00:56:26.719 --> 00:56:30.210
a biscuit's good. Yeah. I like it. I'll tell

00:56:30.210 --> 00:56:32.110
you what I really love. You've been to Stroud's

00:56:32.110 --> 00:56:37.610
before, right? Yeah, years ago, yeah. Do you

00:56:37.610 --> 00:56:39.929
remember those cinnamon rolls they give you after

00:56:39.929 --> 00:56:44.289
your meal? Oh, my God. They are delightful. Oh,

00:56:44.289 --> 00:56:46.909
yeah, they are. And all they are is just like

00:56:46.909 --> 00:56:49.829
rolls, but they have this cinnamon sugar mix

00:56:49.829 --> 00:56:52.570
that they mix them in. Oh, my gosh. Oh, yeah.

00:56:53.510 --> 00:56:57.539
That's what makes it. Yes. Yep. Yeah. And like

00:56:57.539 --> 00:56:59.420
I always say, Stroud's, it's not necessarily

00:56:59.420 --> 00:57:02.780
the chicken. It's everything else is so good.

00:57:03.300 --> 00:57:06.019
The chicken's good, but it's not the best ever.

00:57:06.239 --> 00:57:10.519
Yeah. But from now on, I just keep a little shaker

00:57:10.519 --> 00:57:13.500
of cowboy butter and Kinder's wood -fired garlic

00:57:13.500 --> 00:57:16.500
on me. It makes anything taste great. I'm not

00:57:16.500 --> 00:57:18.960
kidding you. So, all right, that's the end of

00:57:18.960 --> 00:57:22.239
the email. So, Rob. You're tearing a fanny pouch,

00:57:22.340 --> 00:57:24.840
aren't you? Yes, I am. Yeah, it's cool looking

00:57:24.840 --> 00:57:30.429
too. I got it all dazzled up. Yeah, it's got

00:57:30.429 --> 00:57:32.530
like little diamonds and rubies on it. I love

00:57:32.530 --> 00:57:38.869
you. I also wear my white cowboy boots. I wear

00:57:38.869 --> 00:57:43.670
my white cowboy boots. Yeah, fanny pack. I'm

00:57:43.670 --> 00:57:46.389
on that How to Unbecome Your Parents or whatever.

00:57:47.809 --> 00:57:52.349
I think it's progressive commercial. Yeah. I'm

00:57:52.349 --> 00:57:54.550
like wearing my fucking pants up past my belly

00:57:54.550 --> 00:57:58.570
button. And I got a stupid cap on and some goofy

00:57:58.570 --> 00:58:01.989
shirt and Walmart tennis shoes or something.

00:58:03.110 --> 00:58:08.050
Anyhow, Rob, we turn it to you. Okay, well, I

00:58:08.050 --> 00:58:10.710
might have to take it to a serious note, unfortunately,

00:58:10.809 --> 00:58:13.329
even though we are having a great time tonight.

00:58:13.690 --> 00:58:19.309
Yes. But I ran across this story earlier today,

00:58:19.510 --> 00:58:36.300
and it needs to get out on the air. Okay. Ooh,

00:58:36.380 --> 00:58:41.860
okay. You got me. It's a new drug. Contributing

00:58:41.860 --> 00:58:46.500
to severe and sometimes deadly overdose clusters

00:58:46.500 --> 00:58:51.460
across multiple states. According to a recent

00:58:51.460 --> 00:58:57.679
CDC report, illicit... Okay. Give me a second

00:58:57.679 --> 00:59:00.239
here. I'm going to try to figure this out. Okay.

00:59:12.650 --> 00:59:16.289
And if that isn't quite it, you can look it up.

00:59:16.289 --> 00:59:19.389
You have the spelling. Yes, yes, yes. And I'm

00:59:19.389 --> 00:59:21.409
going to go into it, especially in the States.

00:59:22.050 --> 00:59:24.610
We're tradespeople, guys. We're tradespeople.

00:59:24.849 --> 00:59:29.289
We're not wordsmiths. Yeah, yeah. We did not

00:59:29.289 --> 00:59:32.349
pass English class. No, no, no. We were good,

00:59:32.369 --> 00:59:35.170
like, cutting steel and shit. So, there. Yeah,

00:59:35.170 --> 00:59:37.389
yeah. We were good at shop, just not English.

00:59:37.710 --> 01:00:15.150
Yep. Okay. That's how I'm going to do it. Okay.

01:00:51.000 --> 01:00:54.980
Wow. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Because, I

01:00:54.980 --> 01:01:00.019
mean, this goes with all shit. Okay. And then

01:01:00.019 --> 01:01:10.400
it goes into what is metadentamide. Okay. Metadentamide

01:01:10.400 --> 01:01:16.300
is FDA approved for use in dogs for the date.

01:01:16.670 --> 01:01:20.869
sedation, and pain relief, and is often used

01:01:20.869 --> 01:01:27.969
off -label in cats and other small animals. It

01:01:27.969 --> 01:01:34.369
is racemic mixture containing... Oh, fuck. Now

01:01:34.369 --> 01:02:06.550
they added Dex to the name. You can always just

01:02:06.550 --> 01:02:08.449
tell them to look up the story. Tell them what

01:02:08.449 --> 01:02:12.789
it is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Look up, like I said,

01:02:12.969 --> 01:02:20.010
it's M -E -D -E -T -O -M -I -D -I -D. And there's

01:02:20.010 --> 01:02:24.289
other shit. And then they add an X to it. Is

01:02:24.289 --> 01:02:49.659
FDA approved for a human ICU sedation? Ooh. And

01:02:49.659 --> 01:02:52.599
then they go out, go into different outbreaks

01:02:52.599 --> 01:03:29.929
that they've had. Philadelphia September 24 and

01:03:29.929 --> 01:03:36.590
January 2025 a total of 165 individuals required

01:03:36.590 --> 01:03:43.349
hospitalization with nearly 25 % needing intubation

01:03:43.349 --> 01:04:03.880
and the traditional which proved the impact.

01:04:04.780 --> 01:04:08.179
Okay? Okay. And then they go into Pittsburgh,

01:04:08.480 --> 01:04:15.159
Pennsylvania, saw a similar pattern with 10 confirmed

01:04:15.159 --> 01:04:20.760
metadeptamine -involved cases between October

01:04:20.760 --> 01:04:28.480
24 and March 2025. Nine required ICU care. Wow.

01:04:33.099 --> 01:04:36.719
Come on, people. Yeah. Watch your kids. Watch

01:04:36.719 --> 01:04:41.500
your friends. Yeah, definitely. Wow. I mean,

01:04:41.500 --> 01:04:44.539
come on. We need to get this nation off this

01:04:44.539 --> 01:04:48.780
bullshit. Yeah. Yeah, we do. The opioids, the

01:04:48.780 --> 01:04:54.760
meth, the whatever. Yep. I agree. Thank you,

01:04:54.760 --> 01:05:01.190
Rob. Thank you, Rob. My opinion. Thank you Rob.

01:05:01.309 --> 01:05:03.250
Let's take our second break. We'll come right

01:05:03.250 --> 01:05:52.960
back. You watch the news. It looks grim. Is an

01:05:52.960 --> 01:05:56.139
apocalypse inevitable? We suggest you download

01:05:56.139 --> 01:05:59.340
all our podcasts beforehand and have multiple

01:05:59.340 --> 01:06:03.440
mobile chargers. We have the post -apocalypse.

01:06:05.400 --> 01:06:08.940
Remember, communication is essential post -apocalypse.

01:06:09.179 --> 01:06:12.679
You must have two radios that are solar chargeable.

01:06:13.099 --> 01:06:16.739
Have several on hand in case any of them do break.

01:06:17.449 --> 01:06:20.289
That way, if one is out guarding the perimeter

01:06:20.289 --> 01:06:23.849
of your property or out gathering food or whatever,

01:06:24.130 --> 01:06:28.050
you can stay in communication and know where

01:06:28.050 --> 01:06:32.969
the other person is. Next up, things overheard

01:06:32.969 --> 01:06:38.630
in hell. Gary Glitter has been named the lead

01:06:38.630 --> 01:06:44.730
singer in the boys' choir of hell. Once again,

01:06:44.769 --> 01:06:53.150
it's time for Ramblings of a Madman. Congress

01:06:53.150 --> 01:06:57.230
needs to synchronize tap dance for 20 minutes

01:06:57.230 --> 01:07:03.969
before each session. That needs to happen. Hey,

01:07:03.989 --> 01:07:06.909
my fellow heavy breeders, this is Dash Riptide,

01:07:07.090 --> 01:07:12.750
your music news. There are reports and rumors

01:07:12.750 --> 01:07:15.469
circulating about a potential new Led Zeppelin

01:07:15.469 --> 01:07:19.869
album release in 2025, possibly including a mix

01:07:19.869 --> 01:07:22.960
of new and old material. While the surviving

01:07:22.960 --> 01:07:25.940
members, Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, and John Paul

01:07:25.940 --> 01:07:29.119
Jones, have reunited in the studio, there's no

01:07:29.119 --> 01:07:31.420
official confirmation of the new album release

01:07:31.420 --> 01:07:34.139
date from the band. The rumors have been fueled

01:07:34.139 --> 01:07:36.119
by statements from band members about working

01:07:36.119 --> 01:07:39.019
on something very special, and by speculation

01:07:39.019 --> 01:07:41.679
surrounding a possible involvement of Jason Bonham,

01:07:41.719 --> 01:07:44.800
son of the late John Bonham on drums. We will

01:07:44.800 --> 01:07:47.519
keep you informed with any more details that

01:07:47.519 --> 01:07:50.179
become available. This is certainly an interesting

01:07:50.179 --> 01:07:53.900
story and turn of events. This is Dash Ruktine,

01:07:53.980 --> 01:07:57.340
and that was your music news. If it's too loud,

01:07:57.400 --> 01:08:20.989
you probably have ear damage, just like me. Two

01:08:20.989 --> 01:08:23.529
douchebags and a microphone. I'm Mark here in

01:08:23.529 --> 01:08:25.949
the Kansas City chapter at the Talk is Cheap

01:08:25.949 --> 01:08:35.750
studio. And I am Rob. All right. Go ahead. In

01:08:35.750 --> 01:08:41.069
the bunker. All right. At the... At the beautiful

01:08:41.069 --> 01:08:43.489
Niagara Arm of Lake of the Ozarks. There we go.

01:08:55.119 --> 01:08:58.359
Yeah, it was definitely hot. So, we're working

01:08:58.359 --> 01:09:02.880
6 to 2 .30. So, yeah, I got up really early this

01:09:02.880 --> 01:09:07.899
morning. And, yeah, I need, yeah. Yeah, 6 to

01:09:07.899 --> 01:09:12.659
2 .30 is a great idea, though, because 2 .30.

01:09:12.659 --> 01:09:15.300
Yeah, it is. Yeah. I could do it year -round.

01:09:15.720 --> 01:09:21.659
Yeah. But when I'm caught podcasting at 9 o 'clock

01:09:21.659 --> 01:09:26.050
at night, I'm such a fanky. Yeah, this is true.

01:09:27.409 --> 01:09:31.750
Oh, and, you know, today I was vacuuming out

01:09:31.750 --> 01:09:34.550
the pool, right? So I see this yellow jacket

01:09:34.550 --> 01:09:36.529
struggling, all right? So I'm like, you know,

01:09:36.689 --> 01:09:39.390
I'm going to take this net. I'm going to get

01:09:39.390 --> 01:09:41.949
that little bastard out because they do do some

01:09:41.949 --> 01:09:44.789
good, you know? They kill mosquitoes and some

01:09:44.789 --> 01:09:47.210
other things. I take and I get the little bastard

01:09:47.210 --> 01:09:49.229
out, and the motherfucker turns around and stings

01:09:49.229 --> 01:09:53.750
me on the arm. I'm like, you little motherfucker.

01:09:54.279 --> 01:09:56.380
I saved your life and you're stinging. I would

01:09:56.380 --> 01:09:59.199
swell up like a balloon. They don't bother me

01:09:59.199 --> 01:10:03.340
that bad. It's kind of like a mosquito bite.

01:10:04.079 --> 01:10:07.979
But, yeah. Oh, that little bastard. So, anyhow.

01:10:08.260 --> 01:10:10.979
If I see one drowning tomorrow, it's staying.

01:10:12.680 --> 01:10:19.189
Oh, and I had an email. Someone bitching at me

01:10:19.189 --> 01:10:21.750
about, oh, yeah, you got to mention your old

01:10:21.750 --> 01:10:24.029
job again. Shut up about it and all this stuff,

01:10:24.149 --> 01:10:27.689
right? Okay. I want that person to know that

01:10:27.689 --> 01:10:31.510
I sent them a thank you card, and it was very

01:10:31.510 --> 01:10:37.789
nice. It was a few months later after I was let

01:10:37.789 --> 01:10:41.529
go, and it was from Curacao. They mail anything

01:10:41.529 --> 01:10:44.109
from Curacao if you go to the post office, and

01:10:44.109 --> 01:10:45.930
they have these different little cards and stuff,

01:10:45.970 --> 01:10:49.600
right? and i had it put on it i a thank you card

01:10:49.600 --> 01:10:52.859
i said roses are red violets are blue guess who

01:10:52.859 --> 01:10:57.880
this is oh yeah fuck you they knew they knew

01:10:57.880 --> 01:11:00.680
i was going to curacao so i'm pretty sure but

01:11:00.680 --> 01:11:03.520
i don't know if they exactly got it though because

01:11:03.520 --> 01:11:06.399
i found out not too long ago that a lot of those

01:11:06.399 --> 01:11:08.880
companies They tear them up after you leave.

01:11:08.979 --> 01:11:10.279
They get your money. What are you going to do?

01:11:10.319 --> 01:11:13.000
Come back to Curacao and go, hey, you never sent

01:11:13.000 --> 01:11:14.819
that. They're going, yeah, we did. We sent it.

01:11:14.819 --> 01:11:16.479
We sent out everything. It must have got lost

01:11:16.479 --> 01:11:19.140
somewhere else. It wasn't us. So I don't even

01:11:19.140 --> 01:11:21.399
know if it, I don't know if it even reached it

01:11:21.399 --> 01:11:23.699
because I think that's probably what they do

01:11:23.699 --> 01:11:25.560
is they just take your money and then tear it

01:11:25.560 --> 01:11:28.479
up, wipe their ass with it or something. So,

01:11:28.479 --> 01:11:33.649
all right. Over the past year. McDonald's has

01:11:33.649 --> 01:11:35.949
struggled to resonate with customers after facing

01:11:35.949 --> 01:11:39.510
backlash for dramatically hiking its menu prices

01:11:39.510 --> 01:11:42.770
during inflation. To add fuel to the fire, it

01:11:42.770 --> 01:11:45.989
also suffered a temporary E. coli outbreak in

01:11:45.989 --> 01:11:48.409
a few of its restaurant locations in October,

01:11:48.689 --> 01:11:53.039
further scaring away customers. Amid these challenges,

01:11:53.319 --> 01:11:55.680
McDonald's sales have declined over the past

01:11:55.680 --> 01:11:58.479
few financial quarters, despite its efforts to

01:11:58.479 --> 01:12:01.399
win back customers with menu changes and deals.

01:12:01.640 --> 01:12:03.859
And the trend continues during the first few

01:12:03.859 --> 01:12:06.159
months of this year. McDonald's first quarter

01:12:06.159 --> 01:12:09.359
earnings report for 2025 revealed that its U

01:12:09.359 --> 01:12:13.600
.S. comparable sales decreased by 3 .6 % over

01:12:13.600 --> 01:12:16.920
a year ago. This contributed to the company.

01:12:17.720 --> 01:12:20.899
facing a 3 % year -over -year decline in its

01:12:20.899 --> 01:12:24.380
operating income, which is its profit after paying

01:12:24.380 --> 01:12:27.699
operation expenses. Also, according to the recent

01:12:27.699 --> 01:12:31.880
data from Placer .ai, the number of customers

01:12:31.880 --> 01:12:34.220
that visited McDonald's stores during the quarter

01:12:34.220 --> 01:12:37.619
fell by 2 .6%. All this stuff is alarming if

01:12:37.619 --> 01:12:40.979
you're McDonald's. During an earnings call on

01:12:40.979 --> 01:12:44.659
May 1st, McDonald's CEO Chris Kapinski said that

01:12:44.659 --> 01:12:47.399
the impact of inflation and heightened anxiety

01:12:47.399 --> 01:12:50.380
about the economic outlook impacted sales during

01:12:50.380 --> 01:12:55.579
the quarter. We entered 2025, and I don't believe

01:12:55.579 --> 01:12:58.180
that for one minute, and here's why. You go to

01:12:58.180 --> 01:13:01.199
any other fast food place now except McDonald's,

01:13:01.199 --> 01:13:03.439
and that line's around the corner. Have you noticed

01:13:03.439 --> 01:13:08.539
that? Yeah. Yeah. You go to Taco Bell, line around

01:13:08.539 --> 01:13:10.500
the corner. You go to Burger King, even, line

01:13:10.500 --> 01:13:13.479
around the corner. You go to a chicken place,

01:13:13.720 --> 01:13:17.239
lines around the corner. McDonald's, not anymore.

01:13:18.020 --> 01:13:21.060
So during an earnings call May 1st, McDonald's

01:13:21.060 --> 01:13:24.279
CEO Chris Kapetsky said that impact of inflation

01:13:24.279 --> 01:13:29.020
and anxiety about economic outlook hurt the sales.

01:13:29.319 --> 01:13:32.140
We entered 2025 knowing that it would be a challenging

01:13:32.140 --> 01:13:38.310
time for the QSR industry due to economic uncertainty

01:13:38.310 --> 01:13:41.069
and pressures weighing on the consumer, said

01:13:41.069 --> 01:13:44.250
Kavinsky, during the first quarter. Geopolitical

01:13:44.250 --> 01:13:46.670
tensions added to the economic uncertainty and

01:13:46.670 --> 01:13:50.550
damping consumer sentiment more than we expected.

01:13:50.850 --> 01:13:53.770
Now what they're saying there by the geopolitical

01:13:53.770 --> 01:13:57.130
is what they're saying is I think they're trying

01:13:57.130 --> 01:13:59.649
to say that the tariffs hurt them, which I think

01:13:59.649 --> 01:14:03.729
is another, in my opinion, bullshit. McDonald's

01:14:03.729 --> 01:14:07.479
faces another... It is. Fast food's fast food.

01:14:07.699 --> 01:14:11.199
Oh, no, no. Wait a second. Okay. Wait a second.

01:14:11.659 --> 01:14:14.720
I can see it was a terrorist attack if they're

01:14:14.720 --> 01:14:20.420
shipping their food from overseas. Um, okay.

01:14:20.560 --> 01:14:23.060
Maybe they do, then. Maybe they get beef from

01:14:23.060 --> 01:14:25.439
Japan or something. I don't know. Yeah, you know

01:14:25.439 --> 01:14:36.409
what? You're right. You know, that's a good point.

01:14:36.829 --> 01:14:39.970
That's a good point. Supposedly, McDonald's gets

01:14:39.970 --> 01:14:44.189
their burger out of Oklahoma. Supposedly. Well,

01:14:44.229 --> 01:14:46.930
I know they also... I did a report on that. They

01:14:46.930 --> 01:14:49.010
used to get them out of Missouri, but I don't

01:14:49.010 --> 01:14:51.210
think they do anymore. There used to be some

01:14:51.210 --> 01:14:55.069
farms up north. Yeah. There were some farms up

01:14:55.069 --> 01:14:57.409
north that were bought out by a big German corporation

01:14:57.409 --> 01:15:01.270
that used to be McDonald's. They used to sell

01:15:01.270 --> 01:15:03.029
to McDonald's. I don't think they do anymore.

01:15:03.579 --> 01:15:06.460
but they used to raise cattle specifically for

01:15:06.460 --> 01:15:09.619
McDonald's. But anyhow, McDonald's faces another

01:15:09.619 --> 01:15:11.880
major threat as McDonald's struggles to attract

01:15:11.880 --> 01:15:14.520
customers to its restaurants. It has another

01:15:14.520 --> 01:15:16.960
major problem on its hands that threatens impact

01:15:16.960 --> 01:15:20.960
sales. Between June 24th and June 30th, which

01:15:20.960 --> 01:15:23.619
is going on right now, the fast food chain will

01:15:23.619 --> 01:15:27.300
face a major boycott from customers. which the

01:15:27.300 --> 01:15:30.239
People's Union USA is organizing. The group previously

01:15:30.239 --> 01:15:33.159
organized boycotts of Amazon, Walmart, and Target

01:15:33.159 --> 01:15:35.680
earlier this year. In a recent Instagram post,

01:15:35.859 --> 01:15:38.680
the People's Union USA founder, John Schwartz,

01:15:38.739 --> 01:15:40.619
said that the group is calling for a boycott

01:15:40.619 --> 01:15:43.359
of McDonald's for five reasons. First, he alleges

01:15:43.359 --> 01:15:46.579
a fast food chain pays less in taxes than the

01:15:46.579 --> 01:15:49.560
people serving the food. Now, this is what this

01:15:49.560 --> 01:15:52.920
guy is saying. I'm not saying this is true or

01:15:52.920 --> 01:15:55.619
not. I'm just reporting this story as it was

01:15:55.619 --> 01:15:59.979
written. McDonald's benefits from loopholes and

01:15:59.979 --> 01:16:03.720
offshore tax heavens, allowing them to pay a

01:16:03.720 --> 01:16:06.039
fraction of what they should, he wrote in the

01:16:06.039 --> 01:16:08.220
post. Meanwhile, their minimum wage employees

01:16:08.220 --> 01:16:11.560
pay more in effective taxes than he, the billion

01:16:11.560 --> 01:16:14.979
-dollar corporation they work for. Second, he

01:16:14.979 --> 01:16:17.260
claims McDonald's is one of the worst offenders

01:16:17.260 --> 01:16:20.180
of price gouging, as it has dramatically raised

01:16:20.180 --> 01:16:22.779
prices in the last few years, despite ranking

01:16:22.779 --> 01:16:27.069
in record profits. Ranking, not ranking. Third,

01:16:27.270 --> 01:16:29.529
Schwartz claims McDonald's has a long history

01:16:29.529 --> 01:16:32.409
of anti -union tactics, silencing employees,

01:16:32.829 --> 01:16:35.689
and avoiding accountability. They use franchise

01:16:35.689 --> 01:16:38.170
loopholes to dodge direct responsibility while

01:16:38.170 --> 01:16:40.710
lobbying against higher wages and benefits, Schwartz

01:16:40.710 --> 01:16:43.810
wrote. Fourth, he alleges that McDonald's exploits

01:16:43.810 --> 01:16:46.289
global supply chains and environmental loopholes,

01:16:46.350 --> 01:16:49.649
and his supply chain is connected to deforestation,

01:16:50.090 --> 01:16:54.329
poor labor conditions, and unsustainable agricultural

01:16:54.329 --> 01:16:58.090
practices. 50 said McDonald's likes to perform

01:16:58.090 --> 01:17:01.750
DEI for the camera, but they do the opposite.

01:17:02.189 --> 01:17:04.670
While McDonald's runs DEI -focused ads, they

01:17:04.670 --> 01:17:07.430
do not practice it, is what he said. And that

01:17:07.430 --> 01:17:09.609
is all five of it. And the boycott is actually

01:17:09.609 --> 01:17:13.090
going on right now, and it is hurting McDonald's.

01:17:14.529 --> 01:17:16.930
Okay, you're not going to see it around here.

01:17:18.029 --> 01:17:25.539
No. You know what? Me too. A lot of what I read,

01:17:25.579 --> 01:17:28.279
I believe my own opinion and your own opinion

01:17:28.279 --> 01:17:34.399
is they do. Yeah, because I, well, for one, I

01:17:34.399 --> 01:18:13.880
know a manager or two. Yep. You know, you're

01:18:13.880 --> 01:18:18.520
right. If you do your research, there are McDonald's

01:18:18.520 --> 01:18:24.619
around this world. And I think that a lot of

01:18:24.619 --> 01:18:28.119
these other companies are basing these prices

01:18:28.119 --> 01:18:32.619
off places like McDonald's. That would not surprise

01:18:32.619 --> 01:19:19.890
me one bit. I've got one for everybody right

01:19:19.890 --> 01:19:22.510
here, okay? They're not the only corporation

01:19:22.510 --> 01:19:24.529
that does this. You know, I talked about the

01:19:24.529 --> 01:19:26.770
cruise line. That's what I'm saying. One person

01:19:26.770 --> 01:19:28.770
does it, they're all going to do it. Well, I

01:19:28.770 --> 01:19:31.909
talked about the cruise lines a couple of broadcasts

01:19:31.909 --> 01:19:36.310
ago, right? Okay. They register their ships to

01:19:36.310 --> 01:19:39.850
Panama and places like that. That way they don't

01:19:39.850 --> 01:19:43.170
have to pay taxes to America. Although they do

01:19:43.170 --> 01:19:46.310
business in America, their business is not registered

01:19:46.310 --> 01:19:49.890
in America. So, you know, allegedly and all that

01:19:49.890 --> 01:19:52.210
stuff. But, you know, you can look it up. So

01:19:52.210 --> 01:19:55.210
they're not the only ones. There's virtually

01:19:55.210 --> 01:19:58.310
every corporation around. And that's one of the

01:19:58.310 --> 01:20:00.390
problems we have here in America is that corporations

01:20:00.390 --> 01:20:05.079
don't pay shit. Actually, you know, Joe Taxpayer

01:20:05.079 --> 01:20:07.760
pays it all. We foot the whole bill because these

01:20:07.760 --> 01:20:10.500
corporations have so much clout and so much push

01:20:10.500 --> 01:20:13.640
and pull that they can go into a place. It happened

01:20:13.640 --> 01:20:18.119
down the road here. There's this redevelopment

01:20:18.119 --> 01:20:19.939
for a shopping center that's kind of like going

01:20:19.939 --> 01:20:24.180
under and kind of becoming urban blight. So every

01:20:24.180 --> 01:20:26.500
place that decided to move in there got tax breaks

01:20:26.500 --> 01:20:29.500
for like 30 years. They pay either little to

01:20:29.500 --> 01:20:32.520
no taxes to be there. That happens all the time.

01:20:32.909 --> 01:20:36.430
We can't do that. I get everything my dad told

01:20:36.430 --> 01:20:41.189
me now. Yeah, yeah. Back in the 80s, man. I get

01:20:41.189 --> 01:20:44.609
it now. Hang on, Rob. We're growing up. What

01:20:44.609 --> 01:20:47.949
the hell? What are we doing? Shit. Damn it. Growing

01:20:47.949 --> 01:20:51.170
up? Fuck, we're old. No, no, no. What I'm saying

01:20:51.170 --> 01:20:54.310
is this is a podcast. What the hell? Dick jokes.

01:20:55.010 --> 01:20:57.569
No, I'm joking around. We can be serious. Oh,

01:20:57.590 --> 01:21:04.970
yeah. bit i do we need to talk about that a little

01:21:04.970 --> 01:21:08.229
bit more because i've got some ideas about stuff

01:21:08.229 --> 01:21:11.350
and i don't want to be a traditional i do not

01:21:11.350 --> 01:21:13.930
want to be a traditional political show oh so

01:21:13.930 --> 01:21:18.090
and so i don't i don't want to go into the bombings

01:21:18.090 --> 01:21:23.390
and shit i want to go into what life should be

01:21:26.920 --> 01:21:30.279
I would like to go into the inner workings of

01:21:30.279 --> 01:21:33.460
the government and how stuff works and how people

01:21:33.460 --> 01:21:37.000
can change it if they're smart enough to do it.

01:21:37.180 --> 01:21:39.539
There are so many things that people can do that

01:21:39.539 --> 01:21:41.159
they think they're powerless and they're not.

01:21:41.359 --> 01:21:43.359
But you know what? That's a whole other thing.

01:21:43.560 --> 01:21:45.720
But we're talking about it. I still want to do

01:21:45.720 --> 01:21:49.199
the real story with Topher. We're still working

01:21:49.199 --> 01:21:52.899
on that. We're not just douchebags. We're sports

01:21:52.899 --> 01:21:56.140
bastards. We're music creeps. We're going to

01:21:56.140 --> 01:21:59.239
expand even more. And one of these ones right

01:21:59.239 --> 01:22:02.420
here, we're going to really, really just love

01:22:02.420 --> 01:22:04.340
more than anything, and we may do that with the

01:22:04.340 --> 01:22:06.840
douchebags too. You know what I mean? It may

01:22:06.840 --> 01:22:13.859
be a feature one as well. But we are not limited

01:22:13.859 --> 01:22:16.520
to dick jokes or anything like that. We have

01:22:16.520 --> 01:22:18.520
a lot more to offer, we feel, and you're going

01:22:18.520 --> 01:22:32.770
to see it. Yeah, yeah. But, yeah, we tell big

01:22:32.770 --> 01:22:38.250
jokes. We bullshit. But we also get real. Yeah,

01:22:38.250 --> 01:22:43.569
yeah. Yep, well, I mean, to me it makes sense.

01:22:44.130 --> 01:22:47.789
I always loved a format like this. Man Cow did

01:22:47.789 --> 01:22:50.630
it very, very well. Bubba the Love Sponge did

01:22:50.630 --> 01:22:53.569
it. Even Johnny Derrick did some of it. But what

01:22:53.569 --> 01:22:56.210
it was, was you save all the really, really raunchy,

01:22:56.210 --> 01:22:59.319
silly stuff, For bits that your guy produced

01:22:59.319 --> 01:23:03.399
for you, you know, like Bubba had like Ned, a

01:23:03.399 --> 01:23:07.000
character, an old dirty old man. And then he

01:23:07.000 --> 01:23:09.199
had, you know, other characters that were on

01:23:09.199 --> 01:23:11.119
there and they all filled their roles. Man Cow

01:23:11.119 --> 01:23:14.380
did the same thing. All of them do, or most of

01:23:14.380 --> 01:23:17.899
them did, you know, Stern, no different. So you

01:23:17.899 --> 01:23:20.640
save the really raunchy stuff for the bits. And

01:23:20.640 --> 01:23:23.619
then the more serious stuff you talked about

01:23:23.619 --> 01:23:28.300
in between. And I think that, like, we didn't

01:23:28.300 --> 01:23:30.119
even mean to, but we're kind of doing something

01:23:30.119 --> 01:23:32.239
like that to where we save the real dirty stuff

01:23:32.239 --> 01:23:34.380
and the raunchy stuff for in the middle. And

01:23:34.380 --> 01:23:36.239
then the stuff we're talking about like this

01:23:36.239 --> 01:23:40.840
right here is what it is, you know. So, and if

01:23:40.840 --> 01:23:42.680
it gets raunchy, so be it. It doesn't matter.

01:23:43.180 --> 01:23:45.840
Yeah, we want to get real with you guys, too.

01:23:45.979 --> 01:23:48.399
We just don't want to joke with you all. We want

01:23:48.399 --> 01:23:52.039
to get real. Yeah, because there's a lot of stuff

01:23:52.039 --> 01:23:57.000
to talk about. Yeah, and that's another thing

01:23:57.000 --> 01:23:59.680
too that has been so very underrated is this

01:23:59.680 --> 01:24:05.760
right here. Just two guys talking about stuff,

01:24:06.000 --> 01:24:09.039
not trying to sound like anything, not trying

01:24:09.039 --> 01:24:12.020
to be uber intelligent, no talent on loan from

01:24:12.020 --> 01:24:14.979
God, none of that stuff, none of it. Just two

01:24:14.979 --> 01:24:19.920
guys talking. We talk about Slacker when he passed

01:24:19.920 --> 01:24:21.640
away and all that, and we kind of did our little

01:24:21.640 --> 01:24:24.720
tribute show. One thing he did very well was,

01:24:25.399 --> 01:24:27.979
yeah, rest in peace. Great guy by everybody that

01:24:27.979 --> 01:24:32.380
knew him. So what he did so very well was, is

01:24:32.380 --> 01:24:34.039
he was like the guy down the street you talk

01:24:34.039 --> 01:24:36.859
to. Just like, you know, people call in and just

01:24:36.859 --> 01:24:39.800
like, yeah, you know, he was just a regular guy

01:24:39.800 --> 01:24:43.000
that was on the radio. And there's so much brilliance

01:24:43.000 --> 01:24:44.699
to that. You know, he kind of went the other

01:24:44.699 --> 01:24:47.760
way when he got his morning show. And it worked

01:24:47.760 --> 01:24:49.460
out very well. That's what people liked. You

01:24:49.460 --> 01:24:50.880
know, they're like, yeah, you know, he just,

01:24:50.979 --> 01:24:53.319
you know, he does some mad ha ha stuff, but not

01:24:53.319 --> 01:24:55.460
too much. He's more like a guy that, you know,

01:24:55.460 --> 01:24:57.239
you wake up in the morning, he's talking to someone

01:24:57.239 --> 01:24:59.960
about the game the day before, you know, that

01:24:59.960 --> 01:25:03.920
kind of stuff. So, um, it, I guess it just depends

01:25:03.920 --> 01:25:05.800
on how you feel you're going with everything.

01:25:05.899 --> 01:25:08.119
And I don't, you know, I still don't know where

01:25:08.119 --> 01:25:12.239
this is going to you. Yeah, no, but I love it.

01:25:12.260 --> 01:25:23.359
I love it. Yeah. Yeah. Me too. You know, we got

01:25:23.359 --> 01:25:26.800
this podcast going. I'm going to put the name

01:25:26.800 --> 01:25:30.399
on the front of my truck. I want people to recognize

01:25:30.399 --> 01:25:33.880
me, and I want to be real with them. You know?

01:25:37.159 --> 01:25:42.500
I'm not doing it for my knowledge. There's one.

01:25:56.779 --> 01:25:59.760
I'm a big fan of, they don't do it so much now

01:25:59.760 --> 01:26:02.460
because we had to move where we were at because

01:26:02.460 --> 01:26:05.699
they opened up a whole new space. Let me explain

01:26:05.699 --> 01:26:08.760
this. Okay. At the River Market, the City Market

01:26:08.760 --> 01:26:11.140
in Kansas City, where Topher and I do our show

01:26:11.140 --> 01:26:16.819
from, the place, the magical table is full anymore

01:26:16.819 --> 01:26:20.100
because City Market Coffee, where we're stationed

01:26:20.100 --> 01:26:23.140
at, out in front of it. had opened up a place

01:26:23.140 --> 01:26:25.380
right next to it called Murmuration, and it's

01:26:25.380 --> 01:26:28.359
kind of like an eatery and a place to get, like,

01:26:28.399 --> 01:26:31.479
mixed drinks and stuff like that. It's a cool

01:26:31.479 --> 01:26:33.840
place, but the place is so full anymore, we had

01:26:33.840 --> 01:26:37.399
to move our operations outside of that area a

01:26:37.399 --> 01:26:39.640
little bit, and we don't have the people coming

01:26:39.640 --> 01:26:42.920
by. Like, the last one that we talked to is Wyatt.

01:26:43.279 --> 01:26:47.779
It started off with a... Oh, I love him. Yeah,

01:26:47.819 --> 01:26:52.039
Deep, what's his name? Deep Sky. It started off

01:26:52.039 --> 01:26:56.020
with Deep Sky. And we always found these interesting

01:26:56.020 --> 01:26:58.380
people. And we found people from all over the

01:26:58.380 --> 01:27:00.760
country talking about their football team. And

01:27:00.760 --> 01:27:03.439
I'm a big fan of that. And if you see anybody

01:27:03.439 --> 01:27:06.300
you think it sounds interesting that wants to

01:27:06.300 --> 01:27:11.039
jump on here, I say do it. I think it just makes

01:27:11.039 --> 01:27:16.479
everything so much more interesting. And that's

01:27:16.479 --> 01:27:18.279
another thing, too. Some people, whenever you

01:27:18.279 --> 01:27:21.939
say the word podcast, they get scared. I don't

01:27:21.939 --> 01:27:24.920
got anything to say. But the ones that do are

01:27:24.920 --> 01:27:27.739
very interesting. Like Wyatt was a very interesting

01:27:27.739 --> 01:27:30.659
guy. He's an older African -American gentleman

01:27:30.659 --> 01:27:33.560
that loved Metallica and butt metal. I want to

01:27:33.560 --> 01:27:38.939
hear it more. I only saw him one more time up

01:27:38.939 --> 01:27:41.579
there at the river market. He says he's up there

01:27:41.579 --> 01:27:44.180
all the time, so it must be when I'm not there.

01:27:44.439 --> 01:27:46.680
Because I looked for him because I wanted to

01:27:46.680 --> 01:27:49.680
talk to him some more. And I saw him one time

01:27:49.680 --> 01:27:53.819
at Christina's Produce. And he said hi and everything,

01:27:54.079 --> 01:27:57.039
and that was it. I mean, we were doing our podcast

01:27:57.039 --> 01:27:59.180
just right up, and I was going and using the

01:27:59.180 --> 01:28:01.260
bathroom, and I was getting ready to say, hey,

01:28:01.359 --> 01:28:02.739
you want to come up and talk? And he already

01:28:02.739 --> 01:28:05.699
left. So, I mean, I don't know if he's not interested

01:28:05.699 --> 01:28:08.960
in talking anymore or if he's just, like, busy.

01:28:09.420 --> 01:28:14.260
So, anyhow, people like Wyatt are always, and

01:28:14.260 --> 01:28:18.180
also. I have them questions about the women in

01:28:18.180 --> 01:28:25.159
my life, you see. Oh, yeah. Yeah, no, Wyatt also

01:28:25.159 --> 01:28:27.819
has a good eye for women, too, boy. He'll point

01:28:27.819 --> 01:28:31.260
them out real quick. I always love that, too.

01:28:31.319 --> 01:28:33.239
You go, hey, hey, hey, hey. Oh, that's a boy.

01:28:33.319 --> 01:28:36.380
Look at that one right there. It's just real

01:28:36.380 --> 01:28:39.539
men I have a problem with. And when I do real

01:28:39.539 --> 01:28:42.340
men, they're like carp. I can't get rid of them.

01:28:46.340 --> 01:28:50.220
Can I just say that? Yes, I did. Yeah, carp are

01:28:50.220 --> 01:28:54.590
greasy. Anyhow. You know what? It is getting

01:28:54.590 --> 01:28:56.529
near 9 .30. You want to go ahead and cut this

01:28:56.529 --> 01:29:01.729
bitch off? Yeah, seeing how I'm working. My loan's

01:29:01.729 --> 01:29:03.989
going off. When you said you go to work at 6

01:29:03.989 --> 01:29:06.510
to 2 .30 now, I'm thinking I'm going to get,

01:29:06.569 --> 01:29:11.829
yeah, okay. Anyhow. I do have one other shout

01:29:11.829 --> 01:29:17.590
out. Okay. My son has got me watching a lot of

01:29:17.590 --> 01:29:32.319
YouTube TV. Mm -hmm. Kill Tony? Yeah, Kill Tony.

01:29:32.760 --> 01:29:39.220
And what is it on? YouTube. YouTube, okay. Okay.

01:29:39.699 --> 01:29:43.140
Okay, I'm going to look it up. And they have,

01:29:43.340 --> 01:29:47.420
oh my God, I don't know how many episodes. What

01:29:47.420 --> 01:29:51.039
is it? It's a comedy roast. And it's YouTube

01:29:51.039 --> 01:29:54.939
TV, not YouTube. Yes, yeah. Okay, all right.

01:29:55.220 --> 01:29:59.680
Well, no, I think you... Okay, I'll look it up.

01:30:03.739 --> 01:30:35.800
Mm -hmm. Uh -huh. Okay. Okay. I've seen the dumbass

01:30:35.800 --> 01:30:42.579
from... Oh, what was that Christmas movie? Home

01:30:42.579 --> 01:30:49.439
Alone. Oh, the kid? The child? No, no, no. The

01:30:49.439 --> 01:30:53.659
dumbass robber. Not the mastermind. Oh, okay,

01:30:53.899 --> 01:31:08.420
okay. And what they do is they have people on

01:31:08.420 --> 01:31:13.140
the street come in. And I think it's based out

01:31:13.140 --> 01:31:20.079
of Houston. Sorry, I'm on YouTube. And Sebastian

01:31:20.079 --> 01:31:22.659
Bach, you're talking about him. My computer picked

01:31:22.659 --> 01:31:25.300
it up. He hits his guitarist in the head with

01:31:25.300 --> 01:31:27.899
a microphone accidentally when he's twirling

01:31:27.899 --> 01:31:30.920
it. Oh, my God, it's brutal. You got to see this.

01:31:30.960 --> 01:31:38.220
Oh, man. Okay, anyhow, go ahead. I'm sorry. What

01:31:38.220 --> 01:31:43.479
they do is they get these, like, walk -on comedians,

01:31:43.560 --> 01:31:48.880
plus they have big -name comedians, come up for,

01:31:48.979 --> 01:31:53.899
like, three minutes or whatever, do their comedy

01:31:53.899 --> 01:31:58.640
act, and then the panelists just lay into it.

01:31:58.699 --> 01:32:38.600
It's a roast. You know what, I think I'd like

01:32:38.600 --> 01:32:41.140
it, so okay. All right, thank you. Yeah, like

01:32:41.140 --> 01:32:47.159
I said, they got a lot of big -time comedians

01:32:47.159 --> 01:32:51.479
that are on the panel. They have rap artists

01:32:51.479 --> 01:32:57.180
on the panel. Just anybody and everybody. I'm

01:32:57.180 --> 01:32:59.819
enjoying watching it. I laugh my ass off all

01:32:59.819 --> 01:33:01.420
the time. All right, everybody check it out.

01:33:01.460 --> 01:33:03.279
I'm going to check it out, that's for sure, after

01:33:03.279 --> 01:33:07.369
I watch. It's called Kill Tony. Okay. After I

01:33:07.369 --> 01:33:09.649
watched Sebastian Bach nail his guitarist a couple

01:33:09.649 --> 01:33:12.810
of times more with his mic. Anyhow, everybody,

01:33:12.930 --> 01:33:16.289
thank you for listening. Good night, assholes.

01:33:17.310 --> 01:33:21.909
Good night, assholes. Oh, no. Looks like the

01:33:21.909 --> 01:33:24.949
show's over, kids. Mark has explosive diarrhea

01:33:24.949 --> 01:33:28.909
and can't afford a wireless mic. Fear not, assholes.

01:33:28.989 --> 01:33:31.210
They'll be back invading your ear holes soon.
