Here at Two Douchebags and a Microphone, we don't
stand behind our journalistic integrity. Go ahead
and assume we got the story wrong. At least we
admit it. Not like all those other guys, we can
and will lie if it makes the story better. Two
Douchebags and a Microphone. Hey there, slap
nuts. It's time for the Creeps Music News. Hey,
my little pumpkin seeds. This is Johnny Rohypnol
with your music news. Matt Cameron has left Pearl
Jam. He had been the band drummer for 27 years.
He got a dishwashing gig. He really needed the
cash. This is Johnny Rohypnol. That was your
music news, and remember, bar chords are bullshit.
Jamar Chase, what in the hell did you say this
time? This idea has worked out so well for you
in the past. Just go ahead, fat mouth one of
the all -time greatest quarterbacks in the league
ever. Your quote was, without Kelsey, Mahomes
is just another Kirk Cousins with a headband.
Well then, Mr. Chase, you should know Kirk Cousins
very well. You and him have the same amount of
rings. You remind us of a little lap dog nipping
at the heels of your daddy. You watched the news.
It looks grim. Is an apocalypse inevitable? We
suggest you download all our podcasts beforehand
and have multiple mobile chargers. We have the
post apocalypse. Learn your soils. You will need
drinking and bath water. You must build a reservoir.
The key to hold water in the ground are the clays
you have at its base. Research water purification
methods and wild game will attract to the water
as well. Your mama's so old, she was a waitress
at the last supper. Two douchebags and microphone.
I'm Mark here in the Kansas City area at the
Talk is Cheap studio. And I am Rob at the beautiful
nine -wall arm of Lake of the Ozarks in the Duck
Blind studio. There we go. Thank you. So, Rob,
how was your weekend? It's been pretty good.
It's been pretty like back. I took it easy this
weekend. I needed to. It was a long week. I'm
glad you did. I'm glad you did. Boy, I've had
nothing but one pain in the ass after another
after another after another. I think I went into
a little bit, but I'll go into this a little
bit more in a little while. But, okay, I'm battling
with that insurance company over that dumbass
that hit my Jeep. I told you about that, right?
I think I said something on the podcast about
it, right? Yep. Okay. Well, I got a little bit
of a rant to go on that here in a little bit,
you know. I'm not going to reveal the name of
the insurance company, but, you know, with insurance
companies like that, the American family is really
at risk. So, anyhow, you want to just get into
the program there? I'll go more into what the
bad one that I'm having to do. Let's get into
it. Okay, it's really just a bunch of bullshit
is what it is. Okay, are you familiar with Elon
Musk's new political party he's trying to form?
Yeah, I've heard he's trying to form one. Yeah,
the America Party is the name he chose. This
country has to change, in my opinion. He's not
even from America. I know he isn't, but it doesn't
mean that he couldn't do some good. Okay, and
I'm not saying anything at all. What I'm saying
is I think that the big two might need a little
competition. What's wrong with that? Yeah, no,
I agree. Yeah, that's what I'm saying is I need
someone threatening both sides. I need someone
going, all right, you guys said you're going
to do this and you didn't do that. You said you're
going to do this, now you did this, you did that.
We're going to run against all that, and we're
going to run against big business and all the
lobbyists. It'll probably never happen because
of what I just said, lobbyists, but it's a great
idea to think about. And also, people just don't
do it. They've been brainwashed by whatever they
listen to. They've been brainwashed by the media,
all of this. So there's entities in this country
that make their own rules. The insurance industry
is a corrupt abuser. of citizens, in my opinion.
I mentioned last podcast how I was dealing with
an insurance company. My opinion only. You know
what? Oh, I can't say the name. That's right.
I was going to, but this certain insurance company
is, you know, I'm getting screwed by big business
like insurances. So this dumb bitch was looking
at her phone, in my opinion, I think she was,
and she hit my Jeep in a fucking parking lot.
The bitch's cheap ass cut rate insurance. Again,
in my opinion, when even look at the damages.
They have their own boys at the body shop, skew
everything towards them. You know, I'm in the
middle of reporting this bitch claim rep and
her piece of shit estimate to the Kansas Board
of Insurance. But hang on, though. This would
be a government organization, right? So nothing
will probably be done because it's all tied together.
And this is where I go back to another political
party would be nice. The garbage insurance companies,
they spend on both sides. D or R, they have things
their way by buying these parasites. These parasites,
if you heard their name, they already have insurance
companies backing them up. And that's the problem.
That's the problem right there. To hear their
name, they have to have money. How do they get
money? They get money from these big corporations
that trample all over us routinely. And we sit
here and we take it. All the sheep of the world
sit there with their mouth up and go, oh, they
wouldn't do that, surely, would they? Hell yes,
they do it. They do it all the time. Have your
eyes open, America. See what's happening. A new
party is needed badly. The big two have been
doing good cop, bad cop forever now. I think
most people with an ounce of sense can see this
easily. The big two are crooks that steal and
fleece us blind. You know, I have another great
example right here. I'm sorry, Rob. I'm going
on a rant. Do you have anything you want to add
to it before I go on? Oh, I was just going to
say, I remember back in the day when we didn't
even have to have insurance. Yeah, yeah. And
now you get, oh my God, you lose your damn license
over it. Yeah. Well, I'm tired of this right
here. Tell me that ain't a racketeer. You're
right. That's a good way of putting it, Rob.
You're right. Absolutely. That's right. And now
they put it in the law. Yeah, I understand. People
got into accidents back then and had to sue people
that didn't have the money to pay for it, blah,
blah, blah. But look, still, today, there's people
driving without insurance. All the time. Come
on. Now, tell me this, Rob. I see every day five
or six licensed places on my way to work, going
and getting a cup, a copy, scratching my ass,
just driving somewhere, whatever. I see. six,
seven, eight license plates that are temporary,
that are out of date by three or four years.
Now, why is that? They haven't paid any taxes,
no personal property tax. Well, they can't pay
property tax. Do you think they're buying insurance?
Hell no. And how come I'll be the one getting
stopped, but they won't? I'll tell you why. Because
they have a newer model Jeep. They know I have
the money to pay my way out of a ticket. Yeah,
I see them driving around everywhere. I got a
taillight out. I'm getting stopped. I parked
at the wrong place at the city market and got
a $120 ticket. And it wasn't even the wrong place.
What it was was their damn app took my money
and said I was covered. And then they came back
and said that on the weekends that that part
isn't covered, that it's a no parking zone. It
says nowhere around there. But what am I going
to do? Fight it? Oh, let's go get a lawyer. Let's
spend $1 ,000 on a $120 ticket. Oh, yeah, that
would be smart. You see, they got you coming
and going. They don't care. They fleece us blind,
and people sit here and take it. They bend over
and go, please take my money. Sorry, go ahead,
Rob. Oh, no, no, no, no. I have nothing to add
to that. I mean, come on. I tell you, a lot of
it's racketeer. Just get money out of it. I agree
with you 100%. It's just like the automotive
business. All this new crap they have put on
cars. Back in the 70s, you didn't need 80 % of
the shit to run a vehicle. I can't change my
own oil in the Jeep. If I do, the warranty is
void. I can't get service anywhere else except
through them. Why is that? Because if I get service
somewhere else, oh, we don't know those people,
we don't deal with them, so your warranty is
void. So I have to keep giving them the money.
So, again, I talk about subscription and everything.
That is a subscription service. Just like there's
subscription EV charging now. There's subscription
everything. Cancer is subscription -based on
a lot of cases. It's like, oh, we're not going
to cure it, but we're going to keep you coming
in. We're going to keep you treatments. We're
going to keep you alive for a long, long time.
But what about a cure? Oh, we're not worried
about that. Meanwhile, a year and a half later,
you're dead. Yeah, yeah. After you eat all this
poison, they go, well, we kept you alive a year
and a half more. And don't get me wrong. There's
a lot of medical advances that do great things.
They did great things with me, and they have
great things I hope they're going to do with
me. But there is also an element of big money
in it, too. So prescriptions, same thing. So
I have a great example right here, Rob. And if
you hear something that's questionable or you're
questioning, interrupt me. And I'll stop, and
I want your opinion on this because you always
have a great side of it that I'm not thinking
about that I love to hear. So please stay with
me, and if you hear something, go hang on, Mark,
and I'll stop and I'll let you talk, okay? I
got you. Okay. Back in 2017, I had an emergency
gallbladder operation. I was in the ER for hours
and eventually admitted to the hospital. Months
later, after I paid off all of my portion, I
receive an invoice for $75 ,000 in the mail.
This was from the hospital. I immediately called
the insurance company. The representative explained
that the insurance company that I was covered
by had a contract with that particular hospital
and that the fee will be paid to them on a gallbladder
surgery is $5 ,000, no more, no less. She said
that that is all the insurance company is obligated
to pay for. per their contract with the medical
services company that they're dealing with. So
here's what they're saying with that, okay? They
couldn't charge me because they have that contract
with the insurance company. But $5 ,000. This
big corporation only pays $5 ,000. Now, if I
went in there without insurance, okay, Rob? If
I was uninsured, I'd be responsible for a little
over $80 ,000. That is criminal. Criminal! Not
everybody has access to metal. medical coverage,
we desperately need a not -as -corrupt party.
Time to start kicking the ends out, without a
doubt. Insurance companies, they know that the
average ham and egger cannot fight them. The
commoner does not have the resources to do so.
Honestly, people, I mean, wake up. It's showtime
in this country. Answer the fucking bell. Go
ahead. And now we have people that want to get
rid of Medicaid and all that to help people.
We are going to get into political. You know
what? I don't care so much anymore. I don't really
care so much anymore because sometimes you just
can't deny saying something. I've been fucked
around so much in the last few weeks. We're talking
about our lives. Everybody that listens to us.
Yeah, it's through this. Yeah. And if you don't
like it, listen to Bob and Tom podcast or something.
I don't give a shit, whatever. But look, I'm
just telling you my point of view. You can agree,
disagree, whatever. You can wipe your ass with
the podcast. I don't care. But this is the way
I feel. And Rob is obviously pretty passionate
about this, too. And this is what we're going
to talk about for a few more minutes. Don't don't
get me wrong. You'll get your dick jokes. Just
not right now. So anyhow, so. This insurance
company, the problem is this right here. They
came over and they named a couple of scratches
that were already there. And they said, our client
did this. But you didn't see the video. Nothing.
Nothing. So I go to the auto body place and I
go, hey, I go, exactly what are you fixing? Oh,
the insurance said that this is what happened
right here. And I said to the guy, I go, hey,
and a very nice guy. I said, do you believe that's
what happened? No. What did you tell them? I
told them that these damages on the door, not
the back panel, is what this lady caused by hitting
you. What did they say? They said they're covering
these scratches and that's it. Okay. Okay. I
call them back and I go, hey, I go, this is complete
bullshit. I said, you guys don't even know what
happened and you're claiming a couple of scratches
that are obviously old is what happened? Well,
You can have the body. This is what she said,
the adjuster. She said, you can have the body
company contact our estimator and ask for another
estimation. They didn't come down, nothing. And
it was denied an hour later. So the gentleman
at the body shop, he calls me back. He goes,
I hate giving bad news. I go, I already knew
it, man. I go, look. I go, it's cool. So I call
her back, and I go, listen. I go, there's obviously
footage there, okay? It is a restaurant. And
I found out where the cameras are, two of them
that cover the hackstep perfectly. So she's like,
well, okay, you can always send in the video
footage for further review. I don't believe that
for one minute. I'm going to send it in, they're
going to wipe their ass with it and tell me no.
So what I'm going to do is when they do that,
instead of... What? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I have
to send in the video footage to them. I have
a problem with this whole thing already. Okay,
go ahead, Rob, go ahead. Ain't that why you pay
your insurance company is to do the footwork?
Well, here's the deal. My insurance company,
if they're going to have something to deal with
it, they're just going to pay it. And I don't
want them paying it. That's me. That's going
to say I was at fault. I was not at fault. I
want the dumb bitch that did this. You want it
fixed. Yeah, I want it fixed. So they erase their
hands from it very conveniently. Well, this claim
is closed then on our part, right? Well, I don't
want you guys paying it because you're going
to. Come back on me about it. Even though this
other bitch I was part of. And let me clear this
up. I could have said to them, said, go ahead
and cover this. But what do you think that's
going to do to my rates, Rob? Probably tripling.
So I had to decline that and say, no, I'm going
to go after her insurance company. So that erases
them from it. Okay, we've got nothing to do with
this. Okay, so I'm on my own about it. They don't
represent me, no. Then that's another thing that's
complete shit. I thought your insurance company
went after the other insurance company. I thought
so, too, but my stepdaughter... I thought the
insurance company battled it out. My stepdaughter
had the same problem with the same insurance
that I'm insured by. Yep. Yeah. Here we go. Okay,
well, if we don't have anything to do with it,
we don't have anything to do with it. Good luck,
you know, that kind of thing. You know, they're
out of there. They're like, okay, bye, see you,
good luck. So, I'm on my own. That's why we give
you 100, 200 every fucking month. Yes. So here's
what else happened, too, okay? Now, this is really
screwy, too, okay? So I go down to the business,
and I talk to the manager. He's like, yeah, we
can get you the footage. We have it. I said,
all right, cool. Well, and he goes, but you have
to do this. You have to file a police report
in Overland Park, Kansas, where it happened,
where the business is. Okay. And then it's going
to take them a few days. They're going to assign
you a case number. You have to take that case
number and call. You have to call the Overland
Park Police Department back. Tell them this is
an accident report. This is a case number. I
need the footage for June 24th at like 12, 15
or whenever the accident happened. I need like
10 minutes of that footage, please. And have
it emailed to the place that I was at. Have them
email it to the... to the establishment I was
at, and then they will email it to the insurance
dumbass. Oh, my God. Yeah, so I'm already a week
and a half deep in red tape, and I'm not going
to get anything from it. I can guarantee it right
now. They're just going to deny it. So then I'm
not going to get a dime from them. I know this
already. But I'm going to the insurance board,
and I'm going to raise as much hell as I can
raise. I'm going to do everything I can to make
their life as... Painful as I can. And the way
I can do that is just that. Complain, complain,
complain. Put stuff online. Flog them with red
tape like they did me. And as far as calling
a lawyer, that's what the insurance board and
the attorney general are. They're lawyers that
are supposed to fight for the people, the little
guy. That's what I was saying. Your insurance
company is supposed to fight for you. Not an
issue. Well, Rob, I can tell you this right now.
When I found out it's not just my insurance company,
all are like that. They're like, look, we're
either paying for it or we don't have anything
to do with you fighting them. And you know why?
Because they all are in the same pockets. They're
not doing that to each other. They're not going
to increase their costs. Hell no. They're going
to go, hey, hey, hey, so -and -so, come here.
Okay, hey, we don't go after you. You don't go
after us, right? Okay, deal. There you go. Simple
as that, right? Yeah. Why would they cost themselves
more money? They wouldn't. Meanwhile, they raise
your rates liberally. Yeah, I mean, so. Oh, my
God. Yeah, I mean, you got anything more to add
to that? Like internet rates. Yeah, so we need
a party that is for the common man. We'll never
get it, but I like the thought of someone at
least bringing up the suggestion. And look, I'm
not a big fan of Elon Musk at all. I'm not a
big fan of him and his proprietary charging,
allegedly, and all this stuff with Tesla and
the other stuff and all that. I'm not a huge
fan of his. I never have been. I don't think
much of the guy. But this right here, he's only
doing it out of spite. Him and Trump are in a
fight, so he's trying to sling some mud at him
and make suggestions. That's all he's doing.
He's not doing it for the American people. If
he cared about, in my opinion, if he cared about
the American people, he'd make a more cheaper
car that was more reliable and no - alleged proprietary
charging and all that stuff and all that where
everything's outdated, you can't charge it anymore
and all that. All this stuff's allegedly. I haven't
owned a Tesla to actually confirm this, but I've
read several sources that stuff like that's going
on. So in my opinion, if he really gave a shit
about the American public, he would do his business
a little differently, allegedly and all that.
But even though at the very... the very front
of this podcast. You hear it every time. We're
not to be believed. We'll make shit up. So there.
Anyhow, shall we move on, Rob? Yes. Okay. A new
trend in England, and in America somewhat, but
more in England, is it's not real popular here
yet, but it's getting more popular, and is naming
your baby after famous serial killers or famous
criminals. I know. I love it. I know this couple,
okay, that, and I know Alistair Crowley was not
a serial killer that, you know, that we know
of and probably not a criminal either. You know,
crazy, you can maybe make a pretty good case
for, but I met this couple that named their child
Alistair. I asked them the origin and they said
they had no idea that Alistair was a huge satanic
cult guy. And they named their kid Alistair just
because they knew he was some guy in the past.
And I'm like, really? So you named him after
Alistair Crowley? Yeah. And you had no idea what
he did? No. I said, you know what? I said, sometime,
go to the Internet, look it up. You may want
to change the kid's name to Al or Alan. Maybe
not Alistair. So anyhow. So anyhow, you know.
I was really floored that they didn't do any
research, but then when I thought about it, I
said, you know what? That's just, that's par
for the course, isn't it? Yeah. Why do research?
Why figure out what you're talking about? Yeah,
whatever. Okay. Here's a list of names that are
popular lately. Most are serial killers, but
some are famous criminals sprinkled in. How about
Ted? Yep. Named after Ted Bundy. Yep. Anna Delvey.
the famous con artist scammer online. How about
Arthur Lee Allen? Arthur is a big name. The Zodiac
Killer. Or how about Burke? Burke is a big name
now, and he is named after David Berkowitz, the
son of Sam Killer, very famous. Yes. There's
many more, but I think I got to the point there.
So, Rob, you got anything you want to interject
on that? Cool? Stupid? I have nothing to add
on that. Everybody? Whatever. Their kid, their
life? Okay. To me, that's like a hell of a jinx
to start a kid off with, my thought. Do your
research before you name them. That's all I got
to say. Alistair. July 22nd and August 5th, we're
getting ripped off. August 5th is one of my stepdaughter's
birthdays. Differences in the Earth and Moon's
gravitational pull will make both days considerably
shorter. Each day will roughly be 1 .5 milliseconds
shorter, Rob. There you go. Fair notice. Need
to hurry those days to fit in your full day.
You got to hurry all day to fit everything in.
1 .5 milliseconds shorter, dude. I'm going to
have to mow the lawn at, like, I'm going to have
to come home early from work and mow the lawn
at, like, 3. Yeah. How else am I going to get
it in? Sorry I wasted your time. Eh, not really.
Okay. Hopefully that's a work day. Yeah, yeah.
Get up early. Yeah, I get 1 .5 milliseconds.
Yeah, hell yeah. Rob, you just made sense out
of it all. Thank you. Thank you. So, I'm cleaning
out the pool on the other day, and on the side
of the concrete is a yucca plant, right? And
I've been fighting with this damn thing periodically,
forever. I tried everything to get rid of it.
They are the hardiest plant. Well, the thing
is, it's growing in the concrete where the pool
is, right? And I got to get it to quit because
eventually the roots are going to get to where
it starts pulling up the concrete, you know.
It already needs mud or polyjacking to a degree.
I don't need any more, you know. A yuck is a
weird plant. It's considered tropical, but cold
weather will not affect it. I mean, you can have
30 below and this damn tropical plant doesn't
care. It just pretty much flips you off. It's
like, haha, I'm still here. And they're pretty
invasive. They're really hard to get rid of.
I did everything. I finally made peace with this
yucca plant that's growing in the concrete next
to the pool. I was vacuuming out the pool. I
had my Bluetooth on the side of the concrete.
I'm blasting some golden oldies. This is what
I do, you know, Tuesday morning. I'm out there
doing this. And when I noticed that the yucca
plant's long leaves, you know what a yucca plant
looks like. It has those long leaves that kind
of hang out, right? It was dancing to the percussion.
It was really cool. I'm going to have to video
it. I mean, everyone can see it. I'm officially
giving up, and I'm going to let this yucca plant
live because it was really cool. It was like
the yucca plant was actually dancing to the oldies.
Its leaves were just dancing all around because
of percussion. Matter of fact, this Tuesday when
I'm out there in the pool, I'm going to do the
same thing, and I'm just going to go, hey, look,
the yucca plant's pretty cool. So, anyhow, Rob.
That's all I have. I have more, but I don't want
to go into it. I mean, you know, we already established
a tone. If you want to kill that plant, any plant,
just cooking grease. Just don't let the EPA catch
it. Oh, really? I didn't know that. Cooking grease?
Really? Yeah, cooking grease or motor oil. Oh,
I knew motor oil. You can't let the EPA catch
it anymore. I know motor oil will do it, but
I really don't. Cooking grease, too. Yeah, okay.
I didn't know about cooking grease. Now, that
might be a possibility. Yeah, my dad had a stump.
We poured all of our cooking grease on it, and
it never drew back. Really? Well, that's good
to know. Yeah. Okay. Oh, yeah. We're out there
with the steaming hot canola. Hell, yeah. Douse
that bitch down. All right. Rob, I have more,
but I'm not going into it because we're already
24 minutes deep. It is your turn. All right.
Well, I'm going to go into something I've been
watching this weekend. Friday night and Saturday
night, I got into watching the EKFC. Uh -huh.
You know what that is? Yeah, bare knuckle. Yeah,
the bare knuckle fighting championship. I've
been watching that, man. It's cool. I've seen
it before a few times. Dude. Well, the thing
is, there's two five -minute rounds. So your
rounds are only two minutes. So you've got to
get in as many hits as you can. And I'm telling
you what, these people go at it. Oh, I know they
do. Oh, my God. It's brutal. It's like actual
fist fighting. You can't take them to the ground.
It makes me flinch. I love it. Yeah. Oh, my God.
I mean, I get uncomfortable watching it. It is
so heavy. Oh, no, I love watching it. I love
watching it, too, but don't you squirm a little
bit? A little bit. Yeah, so we get there. I'm
like, oh, my God, that hurt. You see their whole
face cave in. I mean, it's like. Oh, yeah, and
their eye just swirls. Oh, yeah, just plink.
Oh, my God. The boxing was bad. Did you watch
it on YouTube or what? No, I've been watching
it on Roku. Oh, on Roku. Coming through on FUBU
Sports. Oh, yeah. Okay, okay. I can get that.
There's a FUBU Sports channel on Roku. Yeah,
they keep advertising it. Yeah, I've been watching
on there, man. Okay. I'm going to join you. And
I was going to do it today, but I got busy. But
I'm going to look up that Kenzie Morrison fight.
I want to see him in action. I'm going to check
it out, too. Especially a bare knuckle, man.
Oh, yeah. I'm telling you what. These people
are, like, fighting for their life. I mean, they
actually, they're, like, fighting, fighting.
In my opinion. But the thing is that gets me,
and here's what gets me. Yeah. Is the sportsmanship.
Mm -hmm. After the match, they're hugging, they're
high -fiving, they're talking. The sportsmanship
is awesome. Someone that just collapsed your
face and you're hugging them. I never got that
either. And I'll tell you what, the women, these
women are badasses. I would not want to mess
with these women. Oh, they kick our ass and then
go to a real guy. Oh, my God. No, I know. I do
not wish to tango with any of those chicks. Oh,
my God. Yeah, I just wanted to get it out there.
Anybody that wants to watch actual fist fight,
watch bare knuckle fighting. It's a good way
to waste a lot of time. A lot of MMA and UFC
fighters are going to it. A lot of pro boxers
are going to it. It's going to be where the money's
at because it's gaining so much steam. Also,
there's so much glory in it. People attract to
it naturally. Right. I mean, people really look
at that. The only problem is I see is a lot of
the fighters are only getting a fight like maybe
every year and a half, you know. Oh, my gosh,
man. The rest of the time you're healing. Well,
they need to start having more shows, and they
need to get a little bit bigger. I'll tell you
what, this really take off, my opinion. Well,
it has taken off a lot from where it began. And
it's going to explode even more, especially like
FUBU Sports taking it up and all that. That's
all it needs. When it eventually gets like a
Fox contract or something like that, that's when
they're really going to be, or an ESPN 30 or
whatever, then they'll really start gaining a
lot more steam. As soon as they're like available
on every, what would you call it, cable outlet
or whatever, whatever they call that type of
stuff now, where an ESPN would be at. a Fox Sports
one or something. So that's cool. Okay, man,
I'll tell you, I agree with you, though. I'm
going to start watching it again. Oh, dude, I'm
into it. Oh, cool. I really am. Cool. Hey, you
want to come back with some emails? Yeah, sounds
good. All right, we'll be right back. Two douchebags,
a microphone, and an effort to keep everything
fresh. We offer you... First world problems.
Damn it. The city services website is down again.
I can't believe this. I'm going to have to actually
call and talk to someone to pay my damn trash
bill. This is ridiculous. Harambe used to listen
to our original show, Two Dipshits and Cheek
Radio Shack Realistic Tape Recorder. Harambe
does not listen to our original show, Two Dipshits
and Cheek Radio Shack Realistic Tape Recorder
anymore. You might ask why Harambe never listens
to our original show, Too Gypsious and a Cheap
Radio Shack Realistic Tape Recorder. Well, it's
because Harambe is dead. Senselessly murdered
because some idiot did not watch her child properly
while looking on her phone. Sadly, Harambe does
not listen to our original show, Too Gypsious
and the Cheap Radio Shack Realistic Tape Recorder,
or any other show. Anymore. Sorry, Harambe. Hey,
my little pumpkin seeds, this is Johnny Rohypnol
with your music news. During an appearance on
July 8th episode of SiriusXM's Trunk Nation,
Tony Omi spoke about some of his upcoming music
-related projects, including a full -length collection
of new material from legendary Black Sabbath
guitarist. Tony said, as transcribed by Blabbermouth
.net, Well, at the moment, I was doing my own
album until Back to the Beginning event came
up, and then of course I had to stop and concentrate
on preparing for the Sabbath performance. But
I'm continuing next week to try to finish off
what I started with this album. And then who
knows what I'm going to do. It's great, really.
Because if something pops up, I'll do it if I
want to do it. Asked if his upcoming album is
a Tony Omi solo record with guests on it, like
he's done before with the legendary 2000s IOMI,
the guitarist responded, At the moment, no. I've
got one singer on it, which I originally thought
of different singers. But it started off as it
was going to be an instrumental album, and it's
gone from that into a full -fledged Tony Iommi
project. But then I thought, oh, wait, I want
to try it with a singer. So that's what I've
been doing. This is Johnny Rohypnol. That was

Could you please pass the sodium chloride? Do
you mean the salt? Why, yes. Yes, I do. Then
just say the salt, you dumb motherfucker. Two
douchebags and a microphone. I'm Mark here in
the Kansas City area at the Talk is Cheap studio.
And I am Rob at the beautiful Niagara Arm of
Lake of the Ozarks in the Duck Blind Studio.
Quack, quack. There we go. All right. I have
some emails here. You want to hear them? Yes,
I do. All right. Mark, there is not a real person
who invented salad mix. Dole Produce started
the whole mix in a bag idea a few years back.
Do your research, dummy. Mark in Fort Wayne,
I think Indiana. Mark and Fort Wayne, you obviously
don't understand parody. In order to salute someone,
you have to have a name. Listen to our disclaimer.
We say right on there. We'll make shit up if
it sounds better. Case in point. Loosen up, asshole.
Go drink a beer. Jerk off or something. You have
a lot too much pent -up angst. You really think
about stuff too much. Okay, Mark and Fort Wayne?
I was actually starting to look that up myself.
No, it's a formula. You know, I can't just go,
Dole, we salute Dole, whoever came up with that
in the salad. You know, this Taylor guy or whatever
I came up with, complete bullshit, and I figured
everybody kind of knew that. I mean, anyhow.
Anyhow, yeah, it's a fucking joke. That's all
it is, you know. It's designed to make you go
ha -ha, you know. You think Phineas J. Valtorez
is a real person? Do you think Johnny Rohitnol
is a real... You know? Anyhow. Oh, well. You
know what? Enough. Rob, I have the first script
written for our podcast. It is titled, Mark is
a boring loser that will fail when our podcast
starts against him. Mitch in South Central Cass
County, a few miles from that horrible fireplace
monument. Man, I am just getting shit thrown
at me today, ain't I? Yeah. Got some dude calling
me a fucking dummy, and this guy's saying that
I'm a boring loser that will fail. Well, we know
this is Mitch. Yeah, I expect that from Mitch.
Yeah. I mean, he's just like one little dot better
than Clint. Well, he's still my buddy. I know.
That's why I didn't say too much else. This is
my opinion. Rob loves you. You love Rob. Go ahead.
You guys can love each other. Damn it. I thought
after our last podcast we'd get the hint. I'm
going to back you, but I'm going to back him.
When it comes between you and him, it's you.
All right, cool. All right, I'll still give you
guys the space for your podcast, okay? Only for
Rob, not for Mitch. Yes, I'm still getting Mitch.
As a matter of fact, Mitch isn't getting any
credit. I'm trying to get you and Mark to be
friends here. Mitch isn't getting any credit
at all. It's going to be called The Rob Show,
The Rob Only Show. Look, Mitch, I appreciate
it. He's giving me shit. It's fine. Hey, guys,
I was wanting to know if you could use some material
I've written for a podcast like yours. I've decided
to go into history of the world for my podcast.
Yeah, yeah. I think it's going to do great. So,
I mean, look at the questions he throws at us,
right? I know. I'll download every show. He's
got me as a downloader as soon as he comes up
with everything. And I even told him this, too,
Ronnie. If you want me to set him up one, I will
do that, too. And then just give him the keys,
you know, give him the passwords and all that.
So, anyhow. All right. There's only a couple
more. There wasn't that many emails. They kind
of slowed down a little bit for whatever reason.
I think it's summertime and people are outside
a lot. Everybody's busy. Yeah, so. Hey, where
the hell has my music creeps been? Elmo in Bismarck.
First off, I don't believe the guy's name is
Elmo. And I don't believe that there's one person
in Elmo in Bismarck. Do you? I think North Dakota.
I might. I might believe it. Okay, there might
be an Elmo in baseball. I believe it. Okay, Elmo,
I'm sorry. Okay, you probably are real. You're
safe. Okay, Elmo, to be really honest, the music
creeps may not come back for a while. That and
the sports show. Topher, I think, gets a little
burnt out here and there. And quite frankly,
I've been having trouble keeping up with all
the different shows and stuff, you know. If I'm
going to concentrate on something, this is my
baby. This right here. This is the one that started
it. This is the one that I've been nailed to
ever since. This is my true love right here.
The other two ones are fine. I love them too.
But if we don't ever get back to them, that's
fine with me. Because it's freeing me up to do
some of these new segments that I've been doing.
And I'm loving the freedom with the tools that
I have now to put in opinion pieces I call bullshits
and all that stuff. And, I mean, honestly, I'd
rather resort more of my time to this. I'm not
saying I'm not going to do any more podcasts
other than this or anything like that. But I'm
saying that, like, right now, it doesn't appear
like we're doing them, and that's fine with me.
And nobody's mad at each other or nothing like
that. It's just, you know, Topher has a lot on
his plate, and I respect that, man. And you know
what? I mean, if he gets enough. We all have
lives. Yes. If he gets enough time or antsy and
wants to do one, that's perfect with me. If not,
I'm fine without it. So it doesn't matter. But
we're still really good friends, and there's
no problem there. Mark, you are a coffee buff.
What kind of coffee do you drink at home? Is
it a regular coffee brewer, a Keurig, or an actual
cappuccino machine? It is a regular percolator,
brewer, whatever you call them, you know, with
the glass and all that, and, you know, the glass
pot. Mr. Coffee. Yeah, like a Mr. Coffee. And
I use, right now I'm on rotisserie out of Kansas
City, Betty's Blend, which is really good. I
like it. It's got a nice spice to it. You've
got to watch how you mix it. You can't put too
much or too little in it. You do the desired
settings. I do a 10 -cup system. I do the 10
cups, and I put in the... Two and a half tablespoons,
like it says. And I love the coffee it produces.
And as far as the cappuccino machine and all
that, you know, my cousin has one. And I know
a lot of people that have one. And I think they're
kind of a pain in the ass, really. I mean, I'm
fine with this. If I want a fancier coffee, I
got my coffee houses I go to, like City Market
Coffee. There's Pega's down the road that serves
a really good blended. I mean, so, yeah, that's
all I use. And that is the end of these emails
here. So, Rob, we can go into what you want to
talk about. All right. Well, I'm going to go
back into the fighting world, but this time I'm
going into the WWE. Oh, okay, cool. The other
night I mentioned Goldberg's retirement match.
Mm -hmm. Well. While the billing for WWE's Saturday
night event revolved around Goldberg's retirement
match, the send -off he got seemed abrupt. Shortly
after Goldberg was defeated, NBC went to a commercial
break and Saturday night made it return. Goldberg
was in the ring with many friends and family
who were there to support him. Tonight it's all
about you, Michael Cole, said Goldberg, before
handing the microphone to him. But roughly 30
seconds after Goldberg began his speech, the
broadcast ended. Okay. That's some shit. Yeah.
Okay, well, we believe there is an explanation
to this. Okay. It certainly looked weird. So
what happened? And then, in this case, the culprit
was most likely the injury suffered by Seth Rollins
in the night's hominid match. Shit, I don't know.
How do you spell it? I want to understand what
it is. P -E -N -U -L -T -I -M -A -T -E. Preliminary
or something like that? Oh, well. Inultimate?
Oh, okay. I don't know. Okay, anyhow, I think
what it meant was like the pre -match that they
do? Yeah. Okay. Rollins appeared to injure his
knee after a pair of springboard moves in his
match against L .A. Knight. Rollins remained
on the ground in the corner while his knee was
being looked at. He quickly rose to his feet,
took L .A. Knight's finisher, and was pinned.
While we don't know if this is what led to the
timing issue, Goldberg's match against Gunther
went 14 minutes. For reference, in Goldberg's
prime, it was not uncommon for three of his matches
to last less than 14 minutes combined. Rollins'
injury and the abrupt end to that match likely
caused the remainder of the show. to be rebooked
on the fly, leading to the timing issues in Goldberg's
farewell speech. So what they're thinking is
that the time Seth Rollins was injured put time
away from the show. From the show. Yeah, it's
a live show. It's on regular TV. And they have
a time period, and they have commercials. Yeah,
it's only a two -hour show. Yeah, and it's scripted,
so Goldberg couldn't just go up there and just
edit it at will. Right, right. Okay. But with
a mishap, it throws timing off. Yes, that's what
I'm saying. I get it. I get it, too. Okay, so
we will be coming up. Unfortunately, he had to
go down like that, you know. Well, is he going
to come back and do another one then or no? That's
it. I don't think so. Wow. Okay. Well, I guess
that history books are going to be like he didn't
get to do it. Well, he's lost. Well, he lost
the match before that. He lost this one. Yeah.
Yeah. And he's money. All right. At what point
do you give up? You know, yeah. Yeah, I mean,
I think it's remarkable for him to have a career
after being in a professional sport anyhow and
to do so well. Hey, kudos for being in shape
to get back in the ring. Exactly. I mean, yeah,
the guy's incredible any way you look at it.
And you know what? We wish him the best. God
bless him. He has other ventures. He's into racing
and stuff like that. He'd always go into broadcasting.
I mean, you know, there's all kinds of stuff
he can do, and he probably will. Oh, he's into
motorsports. He has been for years. Oh, yeah,
he has. That's right. I mean, look out like this.
He actually had his own monster truck called
Goldbird that is now maximum destruction. Oh,
wow. It's a cyber truck. It's a cyber truck before
cyber trucks came out, believe it or not. I didn't
know that. Huh. Okay. Yes. Look into maximum
destruction. Well, I mean. Monster jam truck.
I mean, you know. It's a cyber truck that came
out years ago. Yeah. Okay. I will look it up.
He, I mean, here's a good example, I think. And
interject, Rob, please. Okay. Tom Brady makes
more out of football than he does in football.
It's just that what he does changes and how he
feels about what he does changes. So if Goldberg's
into sports now, like if Tom Brady went into
auto racing, you know, he doesn't have to be
physically on a field, you know, practicing all
the time. Not in that manner. Jeff Goldberg could
do that easily if he wants to. Oh, yeah. Oh,
he's like owners. He's owner and partners in
racing. Yeah. He's making money. He don't have
to wrestle. He just won his retirement match
and he got beat and it got cut short because
of an injury. That's too bad because I'm pretty
sure it's going to be a good speech, but you
know what? We're going to see him. That's not
the last you saw of him. You'll see him. No,
no. He'll be around. I've got a story here, Rob,
that it kind of hurts me because you and I are
both fans, big fans. Also, the Ozzy thing hurts
me too. I mean, he's really not that good. I
mean, he looks, he's not doing well. Supposedly,
this is Ozzy, but the story I'm doing, I'm not
quite there yet since I was talking about Ozzy.
There was this report that came out that said
the band getting up there was just incredible
because they said that Iommi had prostate cancer.
No, this was true. Bill Ward had bad heart problems.
Well, he hasn't had any since he had his, I think,
bypasses a long time ago. It said that something
was wrong with Gieser Butler. And Tony Iommi
doesn't have prostate cancer. And it said that
Ozzy Osbourne. has an accelerated form of Parkinson's
due to his back injury, spinal problems, and
Parkinson's put together and made kind of like
a super Parkinson's. Well, when they came out
with the disclaimer about it on the website,
I think it's called like Real Black Sabbath Fans
or something, it said, I only didn't have this.
It said, Gieser Butler didn't have that. And
it said, Bill Ward doesn't have heart problems
anymore since he got fixed. But he didn't say
anything about Ozzy. So I'm wondering if that's
true. I hope not. But if that's true, then that's
too bad. And that would explain how he went downhill
so quickly. So we pray that's not the thing.
But just keep your eye on it. I mean, so. Anyhow,
this is sad. ACDC has been urged to retire after
video footage of a series of concerts went viral.
Brian Johnson looks like a used -up old piece
of leather. I love the guy, but he does. And
Angus Young, he looks like a malnourished Ben
or Jerry. I mean, he... And so they looked and
sounded horrible. There's a huge online petition
for them to retire with no further embarrassment.
You know, I mean, I love ACDC. So do you, right?
I'm wearing ACDC pajama pants right now. Seriously.
Seriously. Hell yeah. That's no joke. Don't look
at the video then. I urge you not to look at
it like I did. I want to remember them like they
were. We've been telling a lot of these bands
that are retiring and stuff because they're old.
They don't do it no more. Look, I mean, they
drank Jack Daniels their whole life. Well, it's
just traveling. Traveling? Maybe a little booger
sugar mixed in. Who knows, you know? All kinds
of stuff. You know, who knows what else? Fucking
banging skanks can't be real easy every night,
right? Allegedly. Just kidding. You know, I mean,
yeah. They're in their 70s. They're well into
their 70s. And they've had, you know, this rock
and roll lifestyle. I think it's kind of rude
for people to, like, bring it up on the Internet
and focus in on it. But I think they probably
do need to hang it up. And it sucks. But, man,
eventually, I mean, you know, you're going to
have to quit sometime. And I understand you get
addicted to that, being on stage and people loving
you and going crazy over you. You know, I don't
know, man. Write a book. Write a book and do
a book tour. Well, like, I reported about the
Ozark Mountain Daredevil concert. Uh -huh. It
was their final tour. Yes, it's their final tour,
but they're still going to be doing music. There's
still going to be new recordings. You know, it's
just they're done touring. There's gotten to
be too much. Well, that's what Ozzy said. He
said he's going to still do music, too. And I
hope that this is an indication that he's doing
better than what these reports have been. So,
yeah, I hope he does new music. And I would love
for him and Jake to get back together and do
at least one song, even if it sucks. It would
be cool just to have the thought of them. One
song on an album. Yeah. Just like his last few
albums, he's had guest people on there. Have
Jake do one. Come on. Oh, yeah. Yeah, and also,
people thought there was heat between Jake and
Zach. There's never been. That's been false.
No. Jake has always said that he loves Zach's
playing and Zach is always like, you know, Jake's
a forefather of this and, you know, and really
respected and admire his work. And he talked
about how hard it was to come in after Randy
Rhoads, such a prolific, you know, loved guy
and fill his shoes, you know, and he did it very
well. He didn't do anything like Randy. He did
different style of guitar and music. He was fast.
He was flashy. He did finger tapping. He played
chords differently and came up and organized
songs differently, which was excellent, you know.
And it went into a new direction, just like Zach
did. And, you know, there's never been heat.
And now there's like videos of him chumming around
back behind stage. So now maybe people can shut
their mouths about that. There is not heat between
them two. So, anyhow, you know, while these people
are starting an online petition about... ACDC,
they need to start one for Vince Neil to stop
embarrassing himself. You know, at least Brian
Johnson can sing somewhat without help from the
crowd. You know, Vince can't take two steps without
huffing and puffing so bad he has the crowd sing
for him. They'd probably, you know, go through
ten bags of potatoes backstage for Vince, right?
A show. So, have you seen the YouTube spoof of
Vince Neil? He's singing, but he has alternate
lyrics because he sounds so horrible singing.
He can't sing it right because he's huffing and
puffing. It's just completely wrong lyrics, but
it sounds like what he's saying, what he's singing.
It sounds like it more than what he's supposed
to be singing. It's like Heather Feather, I think,
does it. Look it up when you get a chance. It
shows like... Close -up photos of him and his
stomach and him having gas. It showed little
gas bubbles coming out of his ass. It's hilarious.
But you want to know a sad but true fact? In
the last 30 years, Vince Neil has outsold, his
solo albums have outsold all the Motley stuff.
Look it up if you don't believe me. Yes. So,
it's like one of those deals where, you know,
Yeah, he's, you know, not in good shape or anything,
but people love him. So, you know, so whatever.
And also, I'd like to go into one thing else
here, and then we'll let you do a couple of stuff,
because I've been talking a lot, okay? So we'll
let you have free reign here in a minute, okay,
Rob? Okay. Motley Crue did not attend Ozzy's
farewell, right? None of them. Did you ever wonder
why that happened, why it was? Okay. Now, you
know, Ozzy started them, pretty much. And even
Tommy Lee made a statement. As a knuckle -dragger
as he is, in my opinion, he said that Ozzy let
us use all of his stage, all of his sound, never
had any problems with us playing over. He didn't
care if we tried to upstage him. He had no worries
at all. He said he definitely kick -started us.
He propelled our career to be a major act. because
he took them as a supporting act for his whole
tour. And they're right. Ozzy was very gracious
with them. They did a lot of famous stuff together,
like, you know, Ozzy's store dance, you know,
all that stuff. Them trying to out -party each
other. I remember Nicky was talking about, you
know, Ozzy's doing all this crazy shit. So he
goes to Nicky, he goes, all right, do this. So
he pisses on the ground, okay? Then he jumps
down and he licks it up. So Nicky's like, oh,
shit, now I got to do this. So Nikki starts pissing.
And before he could jump on the ground and lick
it, Ozzy pushed him out of the way and licked
it for him. Just to show how crazy he was. And
I'm like going, oh my God. But Nikki, people
are going, how come you guys weren't there? He
started you guys. And Nikki said, due to an illness
in the band. Okay. Lots of just people showed
up that weren't with their band. How come Nikki
or Tommy couldn't show up? Or Mick Mars, I don't
know. I don't know how well he's doing. But how
come none of them didn't show up? They probably
weren't invited, number one. I don't think they're
really that well -liked anymore. But, I mean,
wouldn't you insist, if this guy kick -started
your career like he did, wouldn't you insist
on going, going, no, no, no, no, I don't care
if I got an invite or not. You tell Ozzy I'm
going to be there for him. Yeah, my ticket. Yeah.
Buy a fucking ticket and go. Show up there and
go, hey. Oh, hey, look, Nicky's here. They're
not going to make you go away. Nicky's like,
hell yeah, man. I fucking love Ozzy, man. He
started us on a career. Where's he at, man? I
want to talk to him. Jakey Lee did, for God's
sake. He hadn't talked to Jakey Lee in 30 years.
Yeah, he could have played with Super Group A
or B or just went up there and did a bass solo
or whatever. So I don't believe that. I don't
believe that at all. There's more to that, in
my opinion, I think. I've been reading, well,
been running across stories that there was one
band that got uninvited. Yeah, they won't say
who they are. Yeah, exactly. And I think you're
onto something here. I bet it was Motley Crue.
Why would Motley Crue not be there? Because Sharon
said something like self -promotion was not going
to be permitted at this. Yeah. Okay. And what
would they do? Yeah, in our opinions, they'd
be self -promoting. Yeah. Besides that, if Mick
isn't there and it's atrocity anyhow, Mick would
have to be there if the whole band was there,
whether they liked it or not. Because that's
the band that he helped start. Yes, and Mick
was a part of that thing. You're making sense
there. A band that he helped start is not there.
Yeah. I was like floored because I thought about
it before I read the article. I'm like, how come
Motley didn't show up? None of them. Now, there's
more to it than that. I think we'll find out
eventually. But Sharon and Ozzy did not want
to talk about it. They didn't want to talk about
the band and all that. And I agree with them.
This isn't about that. Yeah. Right. It's about
Ozzy and Black Sabbath. Saying a farewell. And
they did. And it was fantastic. And a great way
to say goodbye to a touring career. And hopefully
not goodbye to music. Well, I know IOMI's got
a... Well, I think there's... Is it a Dash Riptide
or a Johnny Roe Hypnol? Okay, one of those guys
has a story on Tony IOMI's new solo album that
Eddie Trunk got the exclusive on when he had
him on his show on SiriusXM. And he has a singer.
He's going to do it as a solo project and just
instrumental. But he found a singer, and he's
going to have one singer on this. All his other
solo stuff, He had guest stars on, you know.
He had different singers, like he had Ozzy, he
had Glenn Hughes, he had, shoot, Dave Grohl,
Ian Gillen. He had all these other guest stars
on there, but they didn't have one singer. This
is a one -singer solo project, so it's going
to kind of be like the Tony Iommi Band, and I
can't wait to hear it. So, anyhow, Rob, let's
take our second break. We're going to come back
with your stuff only. Isn't that good? So you
want proof that we love you here at QD Spades
and Microphone Central? Here's a proof right
here. How about the drink of the week? Hey, my
party pilgrims. How about Norwegian's famous
pineapple coconut mojito? One and a quarter ounce
Bacardi coconut rum, one ounce pineapple puree,
three pieces of lime wedges, six pieces of mint
leaves, and one half ounce of simple syrup. You
garnish ginger candy on a pick. orange wilt,
and a mint sprig. Take a 12 -ounce glass, shake
all ingredients together, and strain over fresh
ice and top with soda. How about a splash of
7 -Up Sprite or ginger ale just for a little
extra pizzazz? And now, Deep Thoughts with Mark.
Math class is the only place where you can buy
60 cantaloupe and 50 watermelon and nobody seems
to give a shit. Hi all, this is Chicago. I am
the most dangerous city in North America. You
can't touch me. Oh yeah? This is Kansas City
here. Hold my beer, bitch. They used to call
it jump -o -lean until your mama got on it. Now
it's time for pickup lines from a loser. Can
you take me to the hospital? I just broke my
leg falling for you. your coffee beans for your
double mocha latte, remember to not get your
genitals caught in the grinder. It really hurts.
And who can afford plastic surgery? Stay safe,
everyone. Next up, things overheard in hell.
Hurry up. Kim Jong -un is playing Santa at the
mall again this year. Yay. Origin of April Fools.
Religious holdouts in the 16th century refused
to celebrate the re -established New Year's date
on January 1st, preferent the end of the Holy
Week in April, making them April fools. Somewhere
in the heavens, your great Grammy Gertrude is
crying because her little Bebo is listening to
this film. Ms. Gulkenstein was tired of Mark
and Toe for making sport of her. Little did the
douchebag know Ms. Gilfenstein was a voodoo high
priestess when she was younger. She grew angry
and cast a spell on Rob, changing Rob into a
capuchin monkey. Mark took Rob to a local zoo
so he could be with the other monkeys. Here are
the adventures of Rob, the capuchin monkey. Shh,
be very quiet. listen in as rob the capuchin
monkey tries to sell the rest of the capuchin
monkeys amway rob has always dreamed of becoming
a diamond status amway as a capuchin monkey Little
did our hero Rob know. All the great apes owned
stock in Sam's Club and became violently pissed
off when he tried to infringe on their territory.
They promptly grabbed switches and beat his ass
for three days straight. Rob could not sit down.
Hey there, fuckstick. You're just in time for
brand new feature news nobody gives a shit about.
Every Model T that was ever manufactured was
in the color black. Mankind. Are we predisposed
to violence? There have been close to 8 ,700
wars from 3 ,200 BC to 2 ,000 AD. Some studies
suggest there might even have been over 100 ,000
wars over the history of the Earth. A clue may
lie in the study of rats. Yes, I said rats. A
social isolation study has shown that social
isolation in rats can increase aggressive behavior.
Rats exhibit higher levels of aggression when
exposed to stressful situations. Stress can lead
to increased anxiety -like behaviors and trigger
the release of stress hormones, which can contribute
to aggressive actions. One well -known study,
Universe 25, by John Calhoun, involved housing
rats in a utopian environment with unlimited
resources except for space. As the population
grew and became overcrowded, the rats exhibited
increased violence, abnormal social behaviors,
and neglect or attack of their young. Genetic
Factors Some studies suggest a link between inborn
anxiety levels and aggression. Rats with extreme
levels of anxiety have been shown to display
higher aggression, including abnormal aggressive
behavior like attack in vulnerable body parts.
Dopamine and Serotonin Aggression in rats is
linked to changes in neurotransmitter systems,
particularly dopamine and serotonin. These studies
have shown that winning aggressive encounters
can increase dopamine turnover in the nucleus
accumbens, which is associated with reward. Additionally,
low serotonin levels have been linked to aggressive
behavior. Introducing an unfamiliar rat into
an established group can cause aggression, particularly
when the intruder is perceived as a threat. Studies
have also shown that aggressive rats may exhibit
reduced activity in the frontal lobe of the brain.
and increased levels of aggression. To douchebags
and microphone, I'm Mark here in the Kansas City
area at the Talk is Cheap studio. And I am Rob
at the beautiful Niagara Arm of Lake of the Ozarks
in the Duck Blind studio. Yeah, I'll bring up
that song. Okay, all right. Well, okay, all right.
Rob, we turn to you. Okay. I'm sorry, but I have
to agree with Gene Simmons on this, and you and
I have talked about this many times. Hey, I like
a lot of what Gene Simmons says. I happen to
think he's kind of a pompous prick, though. Yeah,
but this you will agree on. Okay. And we have
backed the music industry on this. Yeah. Okay,
in an interview with Music Radar, Kiss Bassist
Gene Simmons shared his thoughts on the current
state of the music industry, blaming many of
its problems on music bands. Speaking about the
challenges new bands are facing in today's streaming
-dominated landscape. A lot of bands, unfortunately,
are caught in a catch -22. I've got 100 new songs.
We're releasing a song a month. All that stuff,
but it goes on the Internet, and they hope people
stream it among hundreds of millions of choices.
Highlighting the stark economic reality faced
with these artists, he explained that most acts
fail to make money due to the current streaming
distribution system. And even when it is streamed,
you'll have to get a billion streams to make,
what, 10 or 20 grand? So it's very difficult.
Musicians make a very good living. At least the
big ones do. So you don't think they're being
shortchanged. It's the new bands are really being
shortchanged. There's a minimum wage in most
industries, he continued. If you're a construction
worker, you're guaranteed a certain amount. There's
also a retirement plan and pregnancy plan. All
that stuff to support the working class. But
there is no minimum wage for songwriters and
bands. In fact, it's the wild, wild west. It's
not even a penny. It's something like one one
-hundredth of a penny per stream. It's insane.
Simmons went on to reveal who he thinks is to
blame for all this. And whose fault is it? The
answer is the fans, he stated. It wasn't the
corporate world because they were giving us money.
No, no. It was the fans who decided to break
into the supermarket and just take whatever they
wanted to without paying for it. So the farm
was out of business. The trucks that brought
everything to market are out of business. The
supermarkets that were there 24 hours a day,
out of business. All out of business because
people decide I'm going to have fruit, vegetables,
a quart of milk, and walk out. And, oh, I'll
pay something. Here's a penny. He's right. Dude,
I get it. Yep, I get it, too. That's why all
these bands are touring, because they have to.
It's the only way they can make money nowadays.
Because nobody's buying. CDs, cassettes, records.
True. You know what I mean? Everybody's streaming.
I get it. I get it too. I agree with him 100%.
Like I said, I don't disagree with everything
he said. I think he's, some of the stuff he does
to me is over, just way over. Yeah. And also,
I told you about how he just cancels concerts
and the $12 ,000 to haul his shit around and
all that stuff. To me, that's excessive. He can
defend all he wants, but bullshit. Something
like this, I get. I agree with you. And like
you said, the younger acts are the ones that
are paying the price because they're not getting
anything for their art. Nothing. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. I agree. Back when Gene Simmons and all
these other people broke into the music industry,
we were buying their records, their cassettes,
their CDs. They were making money off that. They
don't make money off that anymore. Yeah. So it's
tours and merchandise. That's it. Yeah, no, you're
right, man. And merch, I mean, like the Wasp
show that Davey and I went to, and I went to
the one in Tulsa a couple years before that.
They've pimped merch so bad now, I mean, it's
like their lifeblood. They have all different
types of shirts now, and it's mainly shirts.
They have other stuff like buttons and tour books
and stuff, but it's mainly all T -shirts now.
They have different designs, different logos.
And the problem with that is the minute the tour
ends, wait about an hour, and all that stuff
is going to be online for a tenth of the price.
Right. So even that they have a lot of problems
with because a lot of people go to the show.
They don't make that much off the show generally
unless you're a huge act. And then they sell
the stuff there and people go, I'm going to wait.
It's going to be on the internet here. Their
tour ends in July. So wait until August. We'll
buy their shirts then instead of paying $50.
And that's another thing too. The exorbitant
prices. Yeah, the merch price. Yeah. Yeah, the
pricing. So people have no choice but to wait.
They're not going to spend $60 on a T -shirt.
They're going to wait a couple of months and
then spend like $20 on it. It's just the way
it is. It would be the same T -shirt. They had
to get rid of it somewhere. So, hey, Rob, you
got some more or you want to end this? Yeah,
I got another one here. Go ahead. I got another
one here. Okay. And thank you for that report.
I like that a lot. Thank you. Yes, yes. I have
a recall from Missouri Walmarts. Okay. There
is a water bottle that has been widely available
at Missouri Walmart stores that has a nasty surprise.
Yeah, a guy got his eye poked out, didn't he?
Two people. Oh, two people. Ooh, okay. Several
individuals have been injured when the top ejects,
and two people have suffered permanent vision
loss. which has resulted in urgent recall by
the government. The new bulletin from the United
States Consumer Product Safety Commission addresses
a dangerous safety hazard that has been discovered
in 850 ,000 water bottles from Missouri Walmart
stores. This is the Ozark Trail 64 -ounce stainless
steel insulated water bottle. Oh, I know what
those are. Yeah, I've seen them there. Yeah,
the Ozark Trail ones. Yeah. The big ones. So
if your mom says you can get your eye poked out,
she's actually right this time. Yeah. There have
been three reports of consumers being hit in
the face by the top of this water bottle, plus
two have suffered permanent vision loss. According
to the government recall statement, if carbonate
or perishable beverages are stored in this water
bottle, Over time, pressure builds up, causing
the top to eject with an unexpected force, and
that's when the injuries are happening. Wow.
Damn. That would suck. What happened? The top
just pops off of it. If that happened to you,
wouldn't you make something up, like you're saving
a baby as a burning car in a hot ember while
you... pulled the baby out, and the car exploded,
a hot ember hit you right in the eye? Yeah. Yeah,
I wouldn't say. Well, I was walking down a trail,
and I had some Dr. Pepper, and I went to open
it up, and it hit me in the eye and took it out.
Oh, I'd make so much shit up. Wow. Wait a second.
Wait a second. Yeah. I'm looking at these lids.
Mm -hmm. These lids are screw -on. Like, screw
in. Uh -huh. Screw in the top of it. How did
they pop off? There's like three or four threads.
How are they popping off? I don't understand
that. Is it plastic? Plastic not fitting the
stainless thread? That's got to be it. That's
got to be it. It's got to be to where it will
unravel really quick or wear down. I bet you
it wears down too easy. The plastic they use
wasn't good enough or strong enough, and it wears
down. And after it wears down, after you seal
it up three or four times or five or 20 or whatever,
I bet you that's what happens. It becomes too
smooth. The thread's doing it and it pops off.
Yeah, plastic wear down on metal. They probably
need to come up with a metal grid. I see it all
the time. they need to come up with a lid then
a metal lid i bet charge a buck more and come
up with a metal lid i guess i mean i don't know
what do you think yeah because uh according to
this at the 64 ounce bottles average sold about
15 okay so you know Oh, and you can just continue
use and return to the store for a full refund.
Okay. Everybody's $16 in a metal lid. That's
what I'm saying, right? Yeah, yeah. Oh, Jimmy
reported in, Grandma Opal is not doing really
well. Oh, damn it. Yeah, we need some prayers
for her. She's really... Yeah, hey. Grandma Opal's
definitely in my prayers. Yeah, me too. Grandma
Opal, we love you. Jimmy's going to play this
for you. All of the assholes, which you know
is our fan base, are all going to pray for you.
We love you. We hope you get better. She has
a variety of things going on, as elderly people
tend to have. And I hope she listens to this
and it makes her feel a little bit better. We
love you, Opal. Stay with us, please. We love
you. Yes, yes. So, anyhow, I forgot. I'm going
to send her a card. Actually, I'm not going to
say it. I forgot the hospital's name anyhow,
but I probably shouldn't say it anyhow. Yeah,
don't say it on the air. Yeah, yeah. Hey, give
me a paper. Sign my name. Yeah, I was going to.
Hell, yeah, I was. You know I was going to do
that. So, anyhow, Opal, we love you. You're going
to be getting a card. Rob is going to be in his
loincloth for your viewing pleasure. Yes. Yes.
All right, you want to keep going or you want
to call it? Well, I do have to reiterate on one
thing. Yeah. Tuesday night, I announced that
me and the Duke will be at Frankie and Louie's
in Sunrise Beach. Yep. We are going to be there,
but it's not an actual meet and greet. It's one
of those things, I'm throwing out there, you
want to meet us, we'll be there. We're going
to be there. It's nothing set up through the
bar or nothing. We're just going to go hang out,
have a couple pops. No loincloth, though. No
loincloth, they said. Yeah, the Duke ain't going
to allow it. He will let you see his boob if
you give him a dollar, though, right? Well, the
Duke is bringing a buddy of his, and he don't
want me showboating too much. Oh, okay. Will
you show them your nipple for a dollar, though,
like I promised? Oh, yeah, definitely. Okay,
there you go. One buck, you can see Rob's nip.
And they're nice nips, too. Those areolas look
like half dollars. Really, really good areolas,
and they look like number two pencil erasers.
Great, fantastic. You can get through the hair.
Yeah, yeah, that's the only problem, yeah. Are
you going to shave it for them, or are you just
going to let them guess? Oh, no, no, no. You're
going to let him guess, aren't you? I don't shave
this chest. I don't shave this chest. Oh, have
those electrodes put on you. Dude, I have too
much. When you shave, it comes back twice both.
Uh -uh. You know, when I was in the hospital
this last time, the nurse was so nice. She actually
shaved where the electrodes went, so I didn't
rip hair off. Oh, my gosh, that hurts so bad.
Those electrodes, they stick on you. The adhesive
is so good, it pretty much tears your skin off
with the hair. Oh, when you take them off. Yeah,
I think they have fun with me. No, I've never
had someone shave me before, you know, a courtesy
shave. Oh, yeah. All right. Listen here, Sasquatch,
I'm going to do you a favor. I'm going to go
ahead and just, like, shave these spots here.
Anyhow, I forgot the nurse's name, but thank
you very much. And the hair's grown back, so
I'm not all patchy. All right. You got anything
else, Rob, or is that pretty much it? That's
all I got for tonight. We're starting at 6 again
this week. Okay. All righty. Thank you, Rob.
Thank you for joining me and everybody. Thank
you, assholes. Our listenership is great. Please
keep telling your friends. We want this thing
to get huge before we go to video, and then when
we go to video, it's going to explode like that
half stick that you forgot underneath your car.
Oh, and one last thing. Yes. Shout out to Albuquerque.
Oh, yeah, yeah. Thank you. Yes, shout out to
Albuquerque. Albuquerque, thank you. We love
you guys. We're giving you love. We know you
guys listen. There have been a lot of hits there.
And I apologize. I forgot the guy's name. Do
you remember? Jeff, wasn't it? I think it was.
Yeah, yeah, Jeff. I think it was Jeff. Thank
you, Jeff. Thank you for listening. And thank
you, whoever else in Albuquerque is listening,
because there's actually different spots where
people downloaded. So it wasn't just Jeff, unless
he went to a friend's house and listened. So,
anyhow, thank you for listening. Good night,
assholes. Good night, assholes. Oh, no. Looks
like the show's over, kids. Mark has explosive
diarrhea and can't afford a wireless mic. Fear
not, assholes. They'll be back invading your
ear holes soon.
