Now let's take a moment to meet your hosts.
00:00:39.899 --> 00:00:45.152
You might know Tom as the guy with the sharp wit and keen sense of humor.
00:00:45.152 --> 00:00:48.341
He strives to keep the laughter rolling.
00:00:48.341 --> 00:00:57.445
Mike's usually the one steering the conversation into hilarious territory, turning even the dullest topics into must-listen material.
00:00:57.445 --> 00:01:02.780
Tom is the yin to Mike's yang partners in comedic crime.
00:01:02.780 --> 00:01:07.052
Tom brings a more laid-back, reflective humor to the table.
00:01:07.052 --> 00:01:19.131
He's got a talent for turning everyday observations into comedic gold, which creates a balanced yet unpredictable dynamic that keeps you coming back for more.
00:01:19.131 --> 00:01:21.739
But don't just take our word for it.
00:01:21.739 --> 00:01:24.682
Their listener reviews speak volumes.
00:01:24.682 --> 00:01:30.703
Jane D says Mike and Tom make my commute something to look forward to.
00:01:30.703 --> 00:01:33.424
They're genuinely funny and insightful.
00:01:33.424 --> 00:01:38.106
And Alex R says I haven't laughed this hard in ages.
00:01:38.106 --> 00:01:42.728
The episode on long-tailed kangaroo rats had me in stitches.
00:01:42.728 --> 00:01:44.730
Thanks for the love, folks.
00:01:44.730 --> 00:01:48.451
And now here are your hosts, mike and Tom.
00:01:49.231 --> 00:01:51.093
Oh, how'd you like that intro, Tom?
00:01:51.373 --> 00:01:52.313
That's awesome.
00:01:52.533 --> 00:01:53.313
A little different.
00:01:53.453 --> 00:01:54.754
Yes, lots different.
00:01:54.834 --> 00:01:55.073
Yeah.
00:01:55.073 --> 00:01:56.834
But, Try something different.
00:01:56.894 --> 00:01:59.275
Yeah, it's cool that we're evolving.
00:02:00.216 --> 00:02:01.037
Somewhat we are.
00:02:01.037 --> 00:02:02.918
Some people would say we're not.
00:02:03.037 --> 00:02:05.099
But I like to think we are.
00:02:07.563 --> 00:02:08.747
Those are the people not listening.
00:02:08.747 --> 00:02:09.510
Why aren't they listening?
00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:11.401
I'm not sure?
00:02:11.461 --> 00:02:12.524
Oh well, hell with them.
00:02:12.524 --> 00:02:13.105
I'm not sure.
00:02:13.306 --> 00:02:14.931
Hell with them, probably life.
00:02:15.181 --> 00:02:16.025
Life does get in the way.
00:02:17.383 --> 00:02:19.168
And you know this is a political year.
00:02:19.187 --> 00:02:20.412
Oh, absolutely.
00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:21.704
Don't we all?
00:02:21.743 --> 00:02:23.586
know that this week's been another gem.
00:02:23.586 --> 00:02:26.121
Yeah, what was?
00:02:26.121 --> 00:02:26.782
Absolutely don't.
00:02:26.782 --> 00:02:28.026
We all know that this week's been another gem.
00:02:28.026 --> 00:02:30.695
Yeah, well, what was up with that little party of uh, kamala, kamala, whatever you want to call her?
00:02:30.716 --> 00:02:31.217
kamala, wait a minute.
00:02:31.217 --> 00:02:31.979
Was that a party?
00:02:31.979 --> 00:02:39.907
I thought that was a raid came close to being a raid oh wow.
00:02:40.448 --> 00:02:44.253
Well, you know I seen it's a little different.
00:02:44.253 --> 00:02:53.272
I seen on the, it seems to me she was appealing to more of the should I say, trashy type crowd.
00:02:53.819 --> 00:02:55.606
Yes, yes, is that okay to say yeah?
00:02:56.280 --> 00:02:57.344
Yeah, because that's what they were.
00:02:57.344 --> 00:03:01.150
Yeah, some lady up there singing about her cat, I mean her pussy.
00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:04.289
Yeah, well, whichever one, it really doesn't matter.
00:03:04.289 --> 00:03:07.343
It had nothing to do with, no, what we're doing.
00:03:07.383 --> 00:03:15.227
I don't even think she brought up any uh political view of no sort except for just being there for her rt.
00:03:15.608 --> 00:03:17.632
Oh, and I here.
00:03:17.632 --> 00:03:20.280
Here was my cherry on the damn top I would make.
00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:22.264
That's going to make me turn my vote to her.
00:03:23.227 --> 00:03:25.453
But no, no, that looks just like fun.
00:03:25.453 --> 00:03:31.229
This is probably what's going to make me change that cherry on top of the little ice cream float.
00:03:31.229 --> 00:03:37.032
Oh yeah, when she was a southerner, when she started speaking southern.
00:03:37.420 --> 00:03:39.087
Where did that little accent come from?
00:03:39.180 --> 00:03:41.808
I don't know, but it didn't sound Asian to me at all.
00:03:41.808 --> 00:03:42.783
No, it didn't sound.
00:03:42.804 --> 00:03:43.306
Jamaican.
00:03:43.306 --> 00:03:46.169
No or normal.
00:03:46.219 --> 00:03:47.210
It's just where you're from.
00:03:47.210 --> 00:03:49.836
They don't change when they're around the people.
00:03:49.855 --> 00:03:54.731
they want to impress it all depends on where you're from and how you grew up and what part of town.
00:03:54.860 --> 00:03:56.750
We call those people chameleons.
00:03:56.939 --> 00:03:58.987
I have a stupid Massachusetts accent.
00:03:59.700 --> 00:04:01.366
We call those people chameleons.
00:04:01.366 --> 00:04:04.520
When they're around someone, she's a chameleon.
00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:11.246
She converts into whatever she's around, just to blend in Ridiculous, I'm telling you.
00:04:11.246 --> 00:04:14.248
Well, it was hilarious.
00:04:14.248 --> 00:04:23.375
I seen a thing somewhere on the Internet of her with this girl bouncing around twerking all over.
00:04:23.396 --> 00:04:25.396
Yeah, that's the same thing I'm talking about, right?
00:04:25.396 --> 00:04:26.620
Yeah, it's ridiculous.
00:04:26.620 --> 00:04:35.648
And then a Donald Trump campaign where he is talking about uniting America and all this, plus the song he comes out with is I'm Proud to Be an American.
00:04:35.687 --> 00:04:37.151
Yes, A big difference.
00:04:37.151 --> 00:04:40.589
So I mean, you can either.
00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:42.223
If you really hate, America get the hell out.
00:04:42.303 --> 00:04:45.892
I'm telling you, and here's what really got me Go somewhere where you think it's better.
00:04:46.019 --> 00:04:47.747
Let me know how that works out for you.
00:04:47.807 --> 00:04:48.249
Exactly.
00:04:48.249 --> 00:04:52.630
But here's what really gets me, Mike is, I think, what that portrayed to me.
00:04:52.630 --> 00:04:58.451
In most things, she is focusing her campaign on one gender and that is racist.
00:04:58.511 --> 00:05:02.048
To me, I'll put them all together Trash people.
00:05:02.769 --> 00:05:05.517
I'm sorry, that's how I look at it, but she brought out a twerking.
00:05:05.619 --> 00:05:09.310
I'm sorry, nobody there had any dignity at all.
00:05:09.459 --> 00:05:11.567
And then wanted to be a southern person.
00:05:11.779 --> 00:05:14.367
That's not what the world I want to be in Nope.
00:05:14.769 --> 00:05:15.151
Me neither.
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:17.345
Anyways, let's not get too serious.
00:05:17.384 --> 00:05:18.226
Exactly Back to reality.
00:05:18.226 --> 00:05:22.987
Wasn't much funny about that?
00:05:23.581 --> 00:05:28.285
Well, yeah, we say what's on our minds, that's us, that's why we're doing this.
00:05:29.019 --> 00:05:30.666
But then we can laugh about it.
00:05:30.666 --> 00:05:32.144
Later we can laugh about it.
00:05:32.345 --> 00:05:33.288
We can laugh about it.
00:05:33.288 --> 00:05:36.607
Quite a bit of laughing, some crying.
00:05:37.209 --> 00:05:40.079
Exactly yeah, we've got all kinds of stuff going on.
00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:41.927
We've got something going on there next weekend.
00:05:42.408 --> 00:05:42.569
Yeah.
00:05:42.860 --> 00:05:44.915
Get your work together, you got something going on there next weekend.
00:05:44.935 --> 00:05:45.500
Yeah, get your work together.
00:05:46.964 --> 00:05:54.964
Yeah, we're going to flip around, it's been a situation where my wife and I it doesn't sound like a pleasant trip to- me, though I'm sorry If it was just you and the missus.
00:05:55.065 --> 00:05:55.487
Oh yeah.
00:05:55.487 --> 00:06:03.713
Well, that's true, but this is kind of a birthday present to her brother and sort of self-funded.
00:06:03.713 --> 00:06:10.007
He's kind of throwing in all the traveling, I know you know, yeah, I'm, I'm feeling it.
00:06:10.007 --> 00:06:21.283
Every stop we're gonna make there's gonna be a beer purchase and I'm not gonna be at that end because I'll be driving, but what they do, that car there yeah, what they do buy beer.
00:06:21.584 --> 00:06:31.774
Of course he did, we stopped, but anyway, we are going to go up to Gatlinburg and spend a weekend.
00:06:31.774 --> 00:06:33.615
He has never been.
00:06:33.615 --> 00:06:35.757
He's 40, almost 50 years old.
00:06:35.757 --> 00:06:45.130
He's never been to Gatlinburg and you know what he has talked two weeks solid about doing when he gets there I'm going to eat at Bubba Gump's.
00:06:45.130 --> 00:06:47.213
That's his only desire.
00:06:48.375 --> 00:06:51.420
I'm going to eat at Bubba Gump's, that's his only desire he wants to eat at Bubba Gump's.
00:06:53.028 --> 00:06:53.713
It's kind of sad.
00:06:53.752 --> 00:06:54.759
We're a household name.
00:06:55.583 --> 00:06:56.908
It's kind of sad.
00:06:56.908 --> 00:06:59.156
Anyway, that's where I'll be next weekend.
00:06:59.901 --> 00:07:02.028
Have you watched any of the Olympics at all?
00:07:03.141 --> 00:07:07.490
Only just reviews of it on the news and just different things.
00:07:07.920 --> 00:07:10.067
Hey too political, too much bullshit.
00:07:10.067 --> 00:07:11.204
I feel bad for the athletes.
00:07:11.279 --> 00:07:17.132
The opening ceremony just caused it all to be completely distorted.
00:07:17.132 --> 00:07:24.872
I mean, the Olympics were designed to draw countries together, but this time it just drove everybody apart, and I'm going to be honest.
00:07:26.279 --> 00:07:26.762
And I'm sick of it.
00:07:26.762 --> 00:07:28.730
I don't know what the name of the band was that opened up.
00:07:28.730 --> 00:07:30.720
I like I thought their music was awesome.
00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:32.944
What's her name, headless?
00:07:33.766 --> 00:07:35.730
oh yeah, marie, and all the window.
00:07:35.810 --> 00:07:37.432
Yeah, that what they're playing.
00:07:37.432 --> 00:07:38.262
That's song.
00:07:38.262 --> 00:07:43.846
I think someone said it goes back to some battle or some heading of her maybe, but the band was freaking awesome.
00:07:43.846 --> 00:07:48.882
I thought, yeah, the only thing I do have a problem with is the table situation.
00:07:48.882 --> 00:07:51.666
Now I know the gods, I get it.
00:07:51.666 --> 00:07:57.446
I just think it could have been done a little differently, because you're not going to tell me they did it to press a couple buttons too.
00:07:58.322 --> 00:07:59.365
I still feel that way.
00:08:00.105 --> 00:08:01.358
I am not pissed off about it.
00:08:01.358 --> 00:08:02.642
It was very, very close.
00:08:02.642 --> 00:08:08.478
It does not bother me, but I could see where religious people could get a little offended by that.
00:08:08.499 --> 00:08:10.288
Exactly Because I think that's exactly what they?
00:08:10.427 --> 00:08:11.975
they just poked the bear a little bit.
00:08:11.975 --> 00:08:14.947
Just a little, and whatever you wanted to get a rise, that's fine.
00:08:15.581 --> 00:08:19.170
And the one thing that bothered me about it was the tin.
00:08:19.170 --> 00:08:20.264
Yeah, the little kid there.
00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:25.168
Why did the little kid have to be in there Involved in all that.
00:08:25.307 --> 00:08:29.355
Why are we pushing our agendas on our children when we're supposed to be protecting them?
00:08:29.355 --> 00:08:32.541
Now we're confusing the shit right out of them Again.
00:08:32.881 --> 00:08:34.688
I don't want to get into these deep topics.
00:08:34.688 --> 00:08:36.746
I want to stay away from them.
00:08:36.746 --> 00:08:37.784
I want this to be fun.
00:08:37.980 --> 00:08:39.125
This is supposed to be fun.
00:08:39.125 --> 00:08:42.285
Here's something fun about the Olympics.
00:08:42.285 --> 00:08:43.429
The big talk.
00:08:43.429 --> 00:08:50.052
The big talk, it's not the political guy whacks out a girl and knocks her out.
00:08:50.052 --> 00:08:55.985
Okay, I think it's the guy from Turkey who just strolls out like freaking Clint.
00:08:56.024 --> 00:09:00.287
Eastwood Gets a silver medal.
00:09:00.799 --> 00:09:01.725
Make my day.
00:09:02.179 --> 00:09:05.451
All because his ex-wife said he would amount to nothing.
00:09:05.451 --> 00:09:06.985
That's a weird story.
00:09:06.985 --> 00:09:10.028
You keep wanting to get on that mic and make out with it, man.
00:09:10.120 --> 00:09:12.107
I do because it feels good on my beard.
00:09:12.321 --> 00:09:13.966
You just got to be right here like this.
00:09:13.966 --> 00:09:15.566
You don't have to right where you are.
00:09:16.341 --> 00:09:21.272
The thing about it is I'm already low enough and I'm afraid you're not going to hear me.
00:09:21.392 --> 00:09:22.441
Oh, I hear you, okay cool.
00:09:22.441 --> 00:09:23.464
Afraid you're not going to hear me.
00:09:23.464 --> 00:09:33.190
Oh, I hear you, okay cool and then, when you get closer, it sounds, it sounds like yeah, just sounds like I'm having a good time in the dark sounds like you're having a good time, but I'm sitting right here watching you and I'm not having a good time.
00:09:33.311 --> 00:09:38.671
It's like I'm having a good time in the dark, okay, anyway I'm getting a little worried is he?
00:09:38.671 --> 00:09:43.408
Gonna take that whole thing in, or but let's talk about table tennis, just a second.
00:09:43.408 --> 00:09:46.114
Something I noticed about this.
00:09:46.114 --> 00:09:48.365
Have you ever seen a tennis match?
00:09:49.067 --> 00:09:49.327
Yeah.
00:09:49.509 --> 00:09:53.711
Okay, and all you can hear is the ball being hit back and forth because everybody's quiet.
00:09:53.711 --> 00:09:57.524
And then you've got to understand.
00:09:57.524 --> 00:10:12.033
Table tennis, ping pong, aka, and these guys are cheering the whole time, from the time the guy serves the ping pong ball or the table tennis ball.
00:10:12.982 --> 00:10:13.886
Why is that a cheering?
00:10:13.927 --> 00:10:17.330
thing I don't know, but man, they are wild at a ping pong match.
00:10:17.330 --> 00:10:19.706
They scream during the whole thing.
00:10:19.706 --> 00:10:20.990
Holy crap, man they do.
00:10:20.990 --> 00:10:23.548
If you'll ever pull it up and watch it.
00:10:23.649 --> 00:10:38.971
I thought surely we're not playing ping pong against other countries for an olympic event yes, we are, oh yeah yeah, and I just, I don't know I thought it'd be like people be quiet watching them, you know exactly, but no, nope, nope, no.
00:10:39.013 --> 00:10:42.466
They are wild and wide open, screaming the whole time you.
00:10:42.466 --> 00:10:43.769
You ought to really listen to them.
00:10:43.769 --> 00:10:44.972
Pull it up one day.
00:10:45.419 --> 00:10:46.705
Oh, I will pull it up one day.
00:10:46.705 --> 00:10:47.246
It's really fun.
00:10:47.246 --> 00:10:47.769
You'll have to.
00:10:47.769 --> 00:10:50.168
I've seen clips, but I just never.
00:10:50.980 --> 00:10:56.126
But yeah, and Forrest Gump, you know what a great movie, what a freaking awesome movie.
00:10:57.280 --> 00:10:58.306
It was a good movie.
00:10:58.606 --> 00:11:02.448
Yeah, you've probably seen it a million times, I'm sure.
00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:06.182
Yeah, I can recite it, dear.
00:11:06.201 --> 00:11:09.490
God, make me a bird so I can fly far, far away.
00:11:09.490 --> 00:11:14.442
Pray with me, forest Well.
00:11:14.481 --> 00:11:15.306

00:11:18.386 --> 00:11:19.509
Thanks, buddy.

And always trying to help.
00:11:23.285 --> 00:11:26.182
Lieutenant Dan out Ice cream.
00:11:26.182 --> 00:11:27.908
Lieutenant Dan ice cream.
00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:31.706
What's the TV show you were telling me about?
00:11:31.706 --> 00:11:35.240
Oh yeah, I mean, we had different TV shows we were talking about.
00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:41.714
Yeah, speaking of shows, my wife and I have been watching this show that's been on for a while.
00:11:41.714 --> 00:11:43.184
It's called Alone.
00:11:43.426 --> 00:11:43.706
Okay.
00:11:43.706 --> 00:11:51.027
And it is where 10 contestants usually people this is the one you were starting to tell me about last week.
00:11:51.207 --> 00:11:52.150
A little yeah, okay.
00:11:52.860 --> 00:11:54.668
So, where are you now with this?
00:11:55.201 --> 00:12:03.128
We're on, we're getting ready to start the last season because get this, they skipped a season.
00:12:03.128 --> 00:12:07.601
Now, this won't make sense until I give you a back story.
00:12:07.601 --> 00:12:28.450
What this show is about is 10 people usually people who are very good at, you know outdoors and they have to they get to choose 10 personal items to take with them, and then their clothing okay, and then their clothing Okay, and then they have a safety pack which is a first aid kit.
00:12:28.450 --> 00:12:29.312
Blah, blah, blah.
00:12:29.312 --> 00:12:37.735
They get sent out in the middle of nowhere and they have to live with nothing but what they chose as long as they can.
00:12:37.735 --> 00:12:43.331
And the next thing they know is their loved ones show up and tell them they won.
00:12:43.331 --> 00:12:48.621
That's the whole thing.
00:12:48.621 --> 00:12:54.884
But they don't know that these other people have dropped off and dropped off and this guy got cut and had to leave, and blah, blah, blah.
00:12:54.884 --> 00:12:57.410
But it's kind of a different thing.
00:12:57.410 --> 00:12:58.701
But here's what gets me.
00:12:58.701 --> 00:13:04.931
We've watched season one through seven and I have yet to find 8.
00:13:04.931 --> 00:13:07.195
Season 8 is not out there.
00:13:14.865 --> 00:13:21.159
So I did a little research and found out that Season 8 would have been during the time of COVID, so they probably shut down all this for COVID.
00:13:21.159 --> 00:13:22.501
But I asked myself.
00:13:22.522 --> 00:13:22.662
Why, so?
00:13:22.662 --> 00:13:24.448
Why didn't they just make the next one, season 8?
00:13:25.559 --> 00:13:26.182
Okay, but I ask myself why?
00:13:26.182 --> 00:13:34.289
Why didn't they just make the next one season eight, okay, or take ten people and set them out in the middle of nowhere, where we were all supposed to be in the first damn place?
00:13:34.289 --> 00:13:36.966
Why'd they shut it down?
00:13:36.966 --> 00:13:38.563
That's the whole thing.
00:13:38.563 --> 00:13:39.408
They were all alone.
00:13:39.408 --> 00:13:43.110
They weren't around anybody anyway, so why did they not have a season?
00:13:43.110 --> 00:13:45.980
That's what gets me, that's what makes me, that's what makes me go.
00:13:45.980 --> 00:13:47.024
What the hell?
00:13:47.024 --> 00:13:47.784
Why not?
00:13:48.046 --> 00:13:49.808
well covet made us shut down.
00:13:49.808 --> 00:13:51.032
No, you're alone.
00:13:51.032 --> 00:13:53.001
They're out there, not around anybody.
