That's what I thought. It's not a thing.

(00:33):

Say hello to Jen. Jennifer writes in.
And by the way, Please remember that all Jennifer's are hot,

(01:59):
right? I love office supplies so hard
that I banged our Staples Rep ofmy old job.
He took me to a couple Lakers games at Staples Center too, and
I even got tons of awesome samples of products that were up
and coming. Office supplies.
Rock my socks, says Jennifer. She see what's going on.
How you doing, Jen? What's up people?

(02:21):
Just want to let you know I I have the key to the supply
cabinet in my office. Oh sweet, thanks.
Who am I? I am Christopher.
What is it about this movie thatmade 10 year old Chris fall in
love with to a point where he would spend basically the rest
of his life trying to make this project?
Last minute selection. I don't know what that was

(02:42):
about. All right, let's do the
flashback. Shall we do the flashback or no?
We're gonna do some something with Lindsay, right?
I have. Moments that I'm moments trying
to compile very quickly. Stupid Lindsay.
Stupid up. So dumb, Lindsay.

(03:05):
OK, here we go. Moments with.
And now a moment with listener Edwin.
A breakup moon Can you imagine what could be worse than going
on a breakup boom with the person you're splitting up from?
That was a moment. With.

(03:26):
Listener Edwin A breakup boom What's a breakup boom?
I don't even know what a breakupmoon is.
I don't know either and I said it.
Having two weeks between this islike a complete memory reset for
all of us. Like there's no way we even
remember what happened. I remember what happened.
OK. That was Gwyneth Paltrow and the

(03:49):
dude from Coldplay. Chris something, I don't know
what his name is. Chris Martin.
Chris Yeah. And he broke, you know, they
divorced and it we're consciously uncoupling.
And so as part of that consciously up coupling, they
went on a breakup moon. Where they just went.
On vacation together. Like opposite of a honeymoon.

(04:10):
Yeah. Got it.
Edwin said. Is probably the shittiest thing
to do when you're splitting up. Yeah, right.
Or, as Edwin called it, a breakup.
Boom. Yeah.
All right, Next up. And now a moment with listener
Edwin. Thanks for listening kids With

(04:34):
this was episode 189 of Quitterscould never give up.
We live in the past, so you don't have to.
Yes, you can file that. That's my moment.
That was a moment with listener Edwin.
Everyone getting on the party bus, that's all I got to say.
Waiter is never kidnap. Is that what I was trying to

(04:54):
say? Quitter is never giving up.
Or something like that. It was good.
All right. Next up with Curt.
The other thing, the other thingtoo to address is that Marcie
has a weird she doesn't like theword poo, but poop is fine.

(05:17):
So that's where the Winnie the poop comes from.
And I always tease my kids calling him Winnie the poop,
which was a very weird like moment that I had of, you know,
Winnie the poop. You know, it was just weird
because it's not a moment. I just tease my kids like I, I

(05:38):
say, is that Winnie the poop? And they like say daddy is, you
know, they, they, they laugh andit's funny.
And then here we go. Here we are Marcie and Kevin
saying Winnie the poop. And it's just this weird moment
where one of your jokes comes, you know, one of your private
jokes becomes like a, a podcast joke anyhow.
Mark the time again. What I'm explaining things here

(06:03):
I I find that when you listen tothat back it'll there won't be
any problems with that some. People wait a lifestyle for a
moment with Curt. Harvey's had an ass loaded
Lindsay, he has that. Was fine.
I I didn't hear anything wrong with that one.

(06:26):
That was good. It was.
Perfect. You get to weenie the poop and
your kids. I'm like.
It's a joke that I share with mykids because it's funny.
I call them Weenie the poop, Weenie the poop instead of
Weenie the poo. It's just hilarious.
Wait, why are you calling him Weenie?
It's Whitney. Because it's funny to say weenie

(06:49):
the poop like you say it wrong just to be just to be funny.
And then here is your here is your joke from your personal
life becoming said on a podcast by people that you listen to.
OK, say Winnie. Winnie.
So it's Winnie the Pooh. But I say.
OK, OK, OK. I really thought this was like a
Dave the King of Mexico thing for a second.

(07:10):
That's. Racist.
We need the the theme song kid jokes and then switch it to dad
jokes. Yeah, Winnie the Poop.
It's a total dad joke, all right.

(07:31):
Stupid Lindsay. Stupid, absurd, dumb Lindsay.
Keep going. I will with Curt.
I'll Fast forward some of the interviews like I don't really
need to hear like the the what is it the MMA fight coming up
guy that's kind of like skip that some.

(07:52):
People ain't a lifestyle for a moment with Curt.
Again, ass full of Lindsay. It's out of context.
I was talking about how I listened the whole week.

(08:13):
Well I don't know who it is. It's just some random guy that
had a fight coming up from MMA in 20/20/14.
Nobody remembers that, nobody cares.
This isn't an Mamma podcast. The driving away podcast.
OK, I'm trying to double check if we have any more because I

(08:33):
don't think we do and we do not.So besides Chris AM S AM SRASMR.
Mark the time. I will mark the time.
What? Oh shit, that's me, huh?
All right, podcast roundup. Here we go.

(08:55):
Let's. Talk about cocaine for a second.
You get it. And when you want her to promote
your podcast? We got it.
Hello do happy goodbye to the blue.
Yankee. Podcast.

(09:17):
Banned by the FCC. All right, let's get this
podcast roundup on the way. It's been a couple weeks since
we recorded. In that time, I think the first
week we're off, Jed the Fish passed away.
It was a pretty big week for allof us because it was pretty
shocking. Jed was a big part of my growing

(09:37):
up in K Rock listening and everybody else just came
together. Here's part of the Jed the Fish
memorial that was played that day.
Such terrible news today. Jed em fish em Jed the fish.
A unique DJ, a fantastic personality and the guy with the
greatest laugh on radio is no longer with us.

(10:01):
AK rock icon. AK rock legend.
You will be so Miss Jed. RIP my friend.
Hey, this is Gwen. This is Tom.
From no doubt. This is Mike Shinoda from Linkin
Park. I'm met from the Bad news.
This is Trent from 9 Inch Nails and Boyd from Incubus.
Saigon from Depression. You're listening to Jed the
fish. Jed the fish.
Jed the fish. Hey, it's Katy Perry and you're

(10:23):
listening to my favorite little Jed the fish on the world famous
K rock. Thank you for playing my song,
Ted. So it was Rodney on the rock,
one of the first people to play Oingo Boingo.
It was Jed the fish. He.
Discovered it before we had evenany released album.
It was a four song EP that we pressed ourselves, made 100
copies of and Jed somehow got a copy and start playing it.

(10:46):
And we really owe everything to that.
Oh my gosh. Well, shout out to Jed the Fish.
Shout out to Jed the fish. Hello, sunny man.
And isn't that gender fish? You've been curious about me?

(11:07):
I've been curious about me too. Jed the Fish was a big part of
my life. I mean, I, I've talked about how
I didn't like DJs or the way they sounded.
I didn't like, you know, Rick DSor any of the other DJs that he
talks about, but Jed the fish was just such a fucking weirdo.

(11:30):
It was so awesome to hear and refreshing to hear someone just
come on the radio like that. And I think that's what drew me
to K Rock first, as well as poorman and Ramondo and Blade in the
morning. So to me that is 80s and 90s K
Rock is Jed the fish, Richard, Blade and Ramondo as well as

(11:51):
Kevin and Bean. I guess we'll throw them in
there. We'll get we'll get more to our
mountain Rushmore as we move on.But Kevin on his now K rock show
on the afternoons, he did a big memorial for Jed.
He had everybody that you could possibly have on.
He had Gia who was on our show on.
He had Swedish Eagle, he had Richard Blade.
He had some guy named Bean. Not sure if anybody's heard of

(12:14):
him, but let's go ahead and playthe opening this.
Is a one of the days that peopledon't want to have ever when you
lose somebody that you really care about.
We have a studio full of people.Jed the Fish passed away this
morning and he was special. And when I was thinking about it
before, I was thinking if if there's anybody that is K Rock,

(12:37):
it's Jed the Fish and not afraidto be so freaking weird.
I didn't even understand what hewas saying half the time.
And I loved him. So we have a room full of
people. We have Megan, we have Darcy, we
have Rick Rippy, who used to runhis board for a long time.
We have Sluggo, we have Gia, we have Tammy, we have Cat, we have

(12:58):
Lightning, and we have Richard Blade.
And we're going to talk and celebrate the person that is it
was Jed the fish, because he hashad such a profound, profound
influence on all of us. It was really cool to have all
these greats on in the studio and you know, it was amazing to

(13:19):
have Bean and Kevin back on the radio.
Seriously. Sad that it had to, you know,
come from a memorial. But here's a bit of Kevin and
Bean reunited on K Rock. It is the world famous K Rock,
It is Kevin Ryder, it is RichardBlade.
Hey, Kevin, Thanks so much for having me here today.
Of course, under tough circumstances, I have Bean on

(13:40):
the phone. Hey, Bean.
Hello K Rock super fans. Hey, we are all gathered today
because Jed the Fish passed awaythis morning.
And I got to tell you, I'm equally sad.
But also every time I heard his voice and or his name, I was
happy. He made a lot of people smile.

(14:00):
He really did. And how do you say goodbye to a
person like that? Like the world is a darker place
now because he's not here. That's true.
What do you think, Bean? Well, you're absolutely right.
One of the things that people remember most about Jed, and
you'll see this in the comments all over social media today, is
the laugh. He'll always remember Jed the
fish and his laugh. And he loved to laugh because he

(14:23):
found joy in life. He was such a positive person
and a curious person and he rooted for everybody.
I consider him a Unicorn becauselike you, Richard, he was a
great guy on and off the air. I really do think, and I've said
this so many times throughout the years, that he is the lead
head on the Mount Rushmore of K Rock.

(14:45):
And you start looking at the building blocks of this great
radio station over the years. Jed the Fish is out way in front
as far as I'm concerned, as being the greatest of all time.
And, you know, all of us grew uplistening to people on the radio
and admiring them and trying to be like them, emulating them.
That was impossible. Jed the Fish, yes, it was a

(15:05):
one-of-a-kind. There was, there's no way you
could go on and try to be Jed the fish because we just aren't
wired the same way Jed the Fish was wired.
He was in his own universe. And it seems like a wonderful
place to play. And gosh, you know, I've been in
touch with him. Not as much as I wish I had over
the years, but even to the end, to the very last time I talked

(15:25):
to him, he still seemed delighted with the world.
And I love that about him. You just like you said, Richard,
you just felt good being around the man.
I remember the first time I heard him.
I was pulling into a bank parking lot in Sherman Oaks and
listening to K Rock. And I was just dreaming about
one day being on K Rock. And I heard Jed's laugh.
That was the first thing I ever heard.

(15:47):
I heard this. I never did I hear that
impression again. It's a very bad impression.
But Jed would tell you if he washere, and I wish he was, that he
had 11 different laughs that he got from his family.
But it was wild. And I just sat in the car
transfixed and almost didn't walk into the bank.

(16:08):
I forgot why I was parked in theparking lot.
And I just thought, wow. And it was a time when K Rock
had just such unique talents. I mean, there was Jed, and then
there was the guy who just walked in, Freddie Snakeskin.
And you'd listen to Freddie, andhe'd say, now, more punishment.
Here's James Brown. And it was like, wow, what
station is this? But I mean, they laid the

(16:31):
foundation for everything that was to follow and still exist to
this day. Yeah, I think that was one of
the things as a kid, you know, hearing somebody that's just so
weird makes you feel, and as a kid you always feel weird.
Every kid feels a little bit like a weirdo, like an outsider,
and just hearing somebody just outlandishly weird and
unapologetically weird and cool for being weird was a was a good

(16:53):
thing to hear. I don't know, I think I need to
find some old air checks of Jet the Fish and play them for my
kids just so they feel good. But that was awesome to have
Bean and Kevin and Bean back on the radio again.
There was just so many good memories of Jed.
Here's Bean going on about how how encouraging he was for

(17:15):
everybody. Bean.
Do you remember in the very first year when we were on the
air and we were terrible? Most of the time radio stations
work this way. The the programming department
goes to the afternoon or midday or night person and says we need
to pump up our morning show. So let's play some clips of the
morning show on your program. And that didn't happen here

(17:38):
because Jed went to Kevin or Andy and said, give me clips to
play from them. And I was, I'm so glad you
brought that up. I'm so glad you brought that up
because this is another story that is emerging today about Jed
the fish from multiple people. I don't know if you saw what
Jimmy Kimmel had to say, but he posted earlier today about when
he came to work on our show whenhe was 27 years old.

(18:01):
And he was nervous as hell beingon the radio in Los Angeles like
we all were when we started, right?
And he said, I'm going to read this from Jimmy Kimmel.
He said, this man Jed the fish, she was already a legend.
Pulled me aside to reassure me and tell me that I was doing
great. His words meant the world to me
then, and they still do. There was no one like him, no
matter how hard they tried. We will miss you, Jed.
The fish. Ralph Garman posted an almost

(18:22):
identical thing earlier today, too.
He said when he wasn't feeling alot of love, sometimes Jed was
the guy that came to him and said, hey, I love what you're
doing in the morning. Keep it up.
And he really just wrapped his arms around everybody.
He was rooting for everybody. A lot of times the morning show
is hated. We certainly deserve to be.
But he he was never gunning for our jobs.

(18:42):
He was never trying to get us fired.
He just wanted us to be part of the family.
And gosh, you can't help but love a guy like that.
That's just amazing. You don't, you don't really hear
those stories when when they're,you know, they're when people
are alive. But how encouraging and awesome
he was to everybody. Yeah.
Anyhow, to kind of wrap it up with the The Kevin Show and
Kevin and Bean being back together, here is Bean signing

(19:05):
off. That's that's some fond memories
of Jed. All right, Bean, thank you for
calling. We appreciate it.
We'd like to keep you for a couple hours if you want to stay
up. Oh, I can't hear you.
You're breaking up, Kevin. That's what I thought.
All right, thank you for calling.
Bye, guys. Appreciate you.
Thank you. Classic bean.
Just kind of send your nostaki. Yeah, if you go to YouTube, they

(19:28):
have that show on video and I remember watching it afterwards.
It's really touching. It's Kevin or Bean was right.
That's like the Super friends ofK Rock, all these people we've
listened to all this time and they came together to sing the
praises of Jed. It was, I was very touched.
It was. It was really interesting and
fascinating. Well, and that's where I think K

(19:49):
Rock's really unique in that sense where they had, I mean,
they all still are friends. They all still communicate.
They all still, you know, Mark and Brian don't talk to each
other. You know what I mean?
For that many years, to keep those people in your life for
that long is really something special.
Yeah, definitely. And just to come together, just
to hear the the greatness of K Rock all in one room and one

(20:11):
afternoon. Was.
Just awesome. And it's on YouTube and it's
also on the archive. I got mine from the archive.
Thank you. Stockdale.
Stockdale. Stockdale.
Exactly. Let's go on to the 3/4 podcast.
They had Gia on and they were talking more Jed and one of the
real reasons why. Man.

(20:32):
What 3/4 human podcast? I guess you want to be specific?
They had Gia on and she brought up a reason why Jed was so
unique. Judd was one of the original
test tube babies. Right.
I did not know that. Yeah, not a.
Problem. About this that's.
Crazy. Yep.
He's one of the very first Test tube babies, really.
But although he would go around saying that he had been

(20:55):
artificially inseminated and then Rick Rippy had pointed out
to him after many years of Judd saying he'd been artificially
inseminated, that Rick said, no,actually it was her mother who
that was. Judd was like, oh God, I've been
saying that for. There's that moment of pause
when he realized it, and I didn't see his his face going.
I've been telling that story wrong all these years.

(21:17):
Yeah, Oh my God. Yeah.
But Jed was. Yeah, Jed was he?
He was one of the earliest test tube makers.
Isn't that crazy? Wow, Which also makes so much
sense because it was probably like, you know, Soylent Green
and Jed and we're just going to fix it all up together and.
Jed was a unique prototype, I will say that.

(21:39):
Oh yeah. OK, going over to A Cup of Tea
in a chat, Bean and Ally released their bonus episode
with Jed the Fish and they made it public to everybody.
So if you haven't heard it, go back, look it up if you're not a
subscriber to A Cup of Tea in a Chat and listen to it cuz it's a
great episode and Jed's amazing.But here, here is Ralph hearing

(22:02):
about that episode. Apparently Bean from the Kevin
and Bean show. Those were the guys I worked
with on K Rock. He did an interview with Jed not
that long ago and they were talking about the good old days
at K Rock and I was not aware ofit and I didn't know about the
interview. I did not hear the interview and
I certainly wasn't aware about this part of it.
But folks have been sending me this clip and I wanted to share

(22:24):
it for anyone who didn't hear it.
Here is being talking about who he believes belong belongs on
the the Mount Rushmore of K rockclassic jocks who had been there
for years, who helped shape the identity of that station that
that it still enjoys today. Whether it's deserving or not,
it's a whole nother thing. But here's I just want to play
you the clip because as I mentioned, Jed was the first

(22:49):
person at that radio station when I started out as a little
baby jock on that station, not really knowing what I was doing,
feeling my way. He was the first person who
sought me out and would encourage me and tell me that he
enjoyed what I was doing and it meant the world to me because he
was a legend already at that station.

(23:09):
Management was not a fan of mine.
Kevin and Bean themselves, I don't think, knew what to do
with me. It was, it was a confusing
tentative time when I first started there and I didn't know
if it was going to work out or not.
Jed the fish was the 1st and at that time only person who was
constantly reassuring me and andand encouraging me and I, I can

(23:33):
never thank him enough for what he did for me when I started out
at what end up being an 18 year career at that radio station.
So even with that, even knowing that this piece of audio really
touched me and caught me completely by surprise.
The Mount Rushmore for me all time is Jed the Fish, Richard

(23:57):
Blade, poor man, and Rick Carroll.
That's my BIG4. I'd like you to argue with me
about that. If you've got a different, I
keep thinking of Ralph Garman, actually.
Please explain Jed mentioned by name in the company of those
people who created that radio station for for so many years.

(24:21):
And that just blew me away. So I wish I had known before he
passed that I could have reachedout and thanked him for that
completely wrong by the way, he's very wrong.
But I'm, I'm so honored that he still held me in such regard
when it came to the work that I did there at K Rock.

(24:42):
And also the the humorous part of that clip is just being being
furious with that mention of that name.
Just incredulous that how dare you mention that name in
connection with those other names because Bean doesn't care
for me that much. But.
Jed did. And that that means the world to
me. So thank you everyone that

(25:02):
several people sent me that clipand it caught me by surprise and
it really moved me, so I appreciate that.
I don't think Bean doesn't like Ralph.
I mean, especially since he put poor man on that Mount Rushmore.
To me, I think that's, I think it's a valid point to put Ralph
on there. I would probably think Bean's
argument is that he didn't shapeit from the beginning.

(25:23):
But I think if you're, if you look at K rock, there's just
different decades of K rock thatjust kind of grows.
You got the 80's, the 90's, the 2000s, and then I think it died
and then maybe it's coming back now, but.
Right. Anyhow, Lindsay, who would you
put on your Mount Rushmore of K Rock?

(25:44):
Can it just be 4 kevining heads?4 kevining heads you're working
12 days of Christmas for next time.
No, but Mount Rushmore of K Rock, Yeah, I guess Kevin and
Bean. I don't know if I would say Jed
because I don't think I listen to a lot of Jed, but perhaps so

(26:09):
it would be like Kevin Bean, Ralph and Lisa or something
silly like that. What about you, Jen?
I put everybody up there. I don't think you, I mean just
listening to them with exactly, but listening to everybody come
back together and all that kind of stuff.
You don't have. I mean, look at Psycho Mike and
all the silly songs he did. And I mean you don't have one

(26:30):
without the other. True, true.
Edwin, I know you probably have a specific list.
Well I like the one they mentioned except I think I would
put Rodney on the rock instead of poor man cuz he was there
longer and I think it was very influential.
Yeah, he did pick a lot of music, but and he was hard to
listen to. But let's see, what was I going

(26:51):
to say? I I think it wouldn't be a Mount
Rushmore for me. It'd be more like a Last Supper.
Just a whole bunch of them crazyasses on the fucking table.
Just food fighting it. I think that's where it'll work.
Let me end with a call, a request for our future DJs from
Edwin. And finally, I think this is a
fine idea. Good advice for all of us

(27:12):
heading into the weekend. Being Ally, it's Edwin from the
Quitters Never Give Up podcast. We're all sad about dead the
fish leaving us. And I've given it some thought
and I've decided you can't die. Being you and Ally can't die.
Please forward this to Kev Dog, Lisa May, Ralph Garman.
None of you can die. I'm sick of this death stuff.
Look, I'm drafting an agreement.It's going to be notarized.

(27:35):
So you guys, that guy, oh, throwRick DS in there just for old
time's sake. He can't die either.
Keep up the work and keep up thebreathing.
Exactly. Keep up the work, keep up the
breathing, everybody. How do you expect them to not
die, Edwin? I got a contract.
They can't die, that's as simpleas that.

(27:55):
This is going to be like Final Destination that Edwin cursed,
right? Oh no, just because you named
them all, they're going to get picked off 1 by 1 by roller
coasters and trucks with logs. My love will keep them alive.
Anyhow, Jed, what did you think of this roundup?

(28:21):
Oh no. Thanks, Ed.
Thanks, Jed. Let's High Priest ally your
thoughts. If you're not delighted, you're
an asshole. That's all I'm saying.
Finally, I got a good one from Ally.
All right, take it over Edwin. On the week there was.

(28:41):
Press the button, my friend. Send me back into time.
Edwin, our listener, Edwin, he'sa funny man.
Edwin's funny pretty much every time.
Funny, funny man. It's a new day.
We can have the power feature. Presentation 114.

(29:08):
I don't know. Did you run out of breath for
that? You literally didn't have enough
breath to finish. Hello kids, I'm doing the week
that was April 21st of 2520 fourteen, but before that I'm
going to do something. Even though we're on vacation, I
was still listening to old showsand this is something that I was

(29:29):
waiting for. They kind of combined a couple
of bits into one bit and it's one of my favorites.
So this is from April 16th, 2014.
How about some passes to attend the K Rock screening of the
Quiet Ones? Movie looks terrifying.
It is in theaters everywhere Friday, April the 25th.

(29:51):
Our screening is the day before that, the 24th of the ArcLight
Hollywood. It's about a university
professor and a team of studentswho are trying to conduct
experiments on a young woman hoping to uncover some
terrifying dark paranormal forces.
Here's the problem. When you do that, sometimes you

(36:57):
What's your Mount Rushmore of video games, Christopher?
Let's see, I would probably haveto put that.
I don't really play a lot of video games, but I really like
Centipede. Double Dragon was pretty fun.
Then let's go Street Fighter, because you just smash a bunch
of buttons and just make things happen and then.

(37:22):
Got to be Grand Theft Auto with your cars.
What's the one with the the gunsthat you shoot a bunch of
zombies? Oh, House of the Dead.
House of the Dead, that was an awesome game.
Strong list. Let's move on to the Wednesday
open. This is going to sound weird.
Very weird, but it's because Ralph just did a list about TV
shows that came on for one episode that were cancelled.

(37:45):
So listen to this show. You won't believe it.
Here comes the tickle monster, if you don't mind, I will.
Begin at the beginning. It's a new day.
Let's get going 123456. Hi, honey.

(38:16):
Hi, Honey. Hi, honey.
Hi, Honey. Hi, Honey.
I'm home. Hi, honey, smile, honey.
Because I'm home. Gee, it's crap to be Top Gun,
but it's nothing like the fun when I get when I say hi to
honey, I am home. Hi honey.

(38:36):
Smile, Honey. Hi, honey, I'm home.
Hi, honey. Me.
What did I do now? Oh, tonight you will make an
Schnitzel. What a joke.
You must be. Real mad at me, honey.
I'm a very, very bad Hitler. Come here, babe.

(38:59):
Don't touch me. You've been late for your
dinner. Every night this week, Ava babe,
please and. Now.
It's Czechoslovakia, you finallydid.
It didn't you? You finally went one step too
far, Mr. Big Shot. Well, don't say I didn't warn
you. You were right, I was wrong.

(39:21):
I'll show him around the town. We'll have a few beers.
He forget about Czechoslovakia. He'll think, hey, this Adolf
Hitler is a regular guy feature presentation that is
unbelievable that that's real. I love that you have that.
That's. Real.
It's real. That was a real show that was on
TV. Yeah, oh wait, their minds were

(39:44):
blown by that. That was part of the they were
talking about shows that only had one episode that were
cancelled. Pretty much.
I think this one was cancelled mid episode.
I don't think they said that, but it was only aired for one
episode. I wonder why sounds.
Like a great show. Yeah, they kind of did some
research. Very bizarre.

(40:05):
This was an English show, aired 1 episode.
It was Hitler before the war. So at least you could say that
it was before the war. I don't know.
I don't know what the heck they were thinking.
This is the feel good episode ofthe year, kids, right?
Jed died. We got Hitler, we got death.
Yeah, let's get something a little bit better.
They were doing this game calledoh, Canada.
Now we might have to edit this out because it's a super long

(40:27):
theme song by Omar. That's it.
Like, what's wrong with Omar? This was funny.
Isabel was a contestant. I kind of liked her.
Let's go to Isabel. Hi there.
Hello, Isabel. How have you been doing playing

(40:48):
the game on hold? You know, I got the 1st 2, the
third one kind of stumped. Me.
All right. OK.
Speaking of Avril Lavigne, last year on July 1st, which is
Canada Day by the way, Avril Lavigne married Chad Kroeger,
who is the lead singer of this Canadian band from Alberta.
By the way, a man so popular. Kevin, this is going to blow you
away that among foreign acts only The Beatles have outsold

(41:09):
this band since the year 2000. Here they are.
Who is it? Oh my God is I'm going blank.
I can't believe this. This is.
How nickel penny. No, give it a second to work it

(41:32):
out. We were looking for Nickelback.
It's the name of the bat band. Nickel.
Penny. She went to Nickel, and then
Penny and then Penny. Oh, this is so sad.
All right. Sorry guys, it wasn't a contest.
I just liked the contestant. I do want to see Nickel Penny.
I think that's the tribute band to Nickelback.
It almost sounded like she was going to say Pennywise and just

(41:54):
be an insult to everybody in Southern California.
God, that's still such a bop I Isorry.
I know some of the bands of Kevin and Bean hate.
I actually kind of like, that's one of them.
Avril Lavigne and Chad Kroeger, you know, we had the axis of
evil. That was the axis of suck.
I would say that right there. Just just joining together the

(42:15):
powers of Canadian suckage. OK, here's an e-mail because
Coachella weekend had just finished up back in 2014 and a
caller was or e-mail. It was kind of mad he didn't see
any of the bands that Kevin and Bean said he would see.
And finally, here's a complaint letter and I, I feel like we do
need to address these as well. It's not just all about, hey, I

(42:38):
love the show. This is from Ernesto and he's
very upset. Hey guys, I'm writing to let you
know that you are a bunch of liars.
I just went through two weekendsof Coachella.
Looking forward to all the greatbands that you said on the air.
We're going to be there. Here are some of the bands you
guys promised me at Coachella that did not appear.
Where the hell was conflicted Boner?

(42:59):
Why wasn't there an atomic wedgie?
What about spatula wielding chicken thrower?
Where was fecal urgency, cannibal rats?
Nasal maggot infestation? Clown with a gun?
Kevin, you specifically said unrelenting douchebaggery would
be there. Well, I did.
Giant honking lemurs pooping wrapper shoot up doors had my
favorite ass full of Lindsay. Oh, ass full of Lindsay was

(43:21):
there on Saturday night. Oh, you're kidding.
It was a surprise. I'm sorry, Lindsay, it was
Lindsay. Lohan was making a fool of
herself in 2014 and you're taking the brunt for it.
I'm sorry, these drops are too good.
Keep them coming man, I love them.
Yeah, there was just so much Lindsay that everybody had an
asshole over. I mean, that was where it

(43:43):
started with Harvey, right? Harvey from TMZ, He just didn't
want to talk about Lindsay anymore.
He said I just had an asshole ofLindsay and that was it.
Yeah, that clip asshole of Lindsay, I think it came up four
times that week. He did.
I gave them all to Christopher, too.
By the way. Let's move on to a call in
topic. They did the call in topic.

(44:03):
You thought you were going to die, like your plane was going
down or something. And this was very funny.
The caller called in his flight had a almost disaster.
And listen to Lisa at the end. So he went to, I think it was
roughly the center of the plane and started pulling people out
of the emergency exit row and pulling up pieces of the carpet

(44:25):
to check to confirm that the landing gear was down.
Why? What?
And how did the flight? What?
The flight attendant moved into the pilot's seat.
Yeah. That seems like the worst part
of it. I guess you need to have
somebody up there to. Well, of course.
Wasn't there a copilot we'll getin the Co?
Pilot. Get in the pilot's seat and
then. And she would get in is.

(44:47):
No, I don't know. Did you run out of breath for
that? You literally didn't have enough
breath to finish. Yeah, I like that one here.
I isolated that last part and turned up the volume.
So listen to Lisa run out of breath.
See it and then she would get inis.
She would get in is. So this was because the pilot
just ran to the back of the plane.

(45:08):
Well, he ran to the middle of the plane, ripped up the carpet,
and he was looking at the landing gear.
Oh, OK. And someone else had to fly the
plane. So it was it was a lot going on.
Well, I think isn't it FAA regulations, they have two
people in the seats in the cockpit at all cockpit at all
times. Yes, Pete was up there.
It was a cockpit. Mark the time.

(45:31):
Stupid, Lindsey strips up. So dumb.
Lindsey that was the my favoriteone that Edwin provided for me.
No, I love it. Just this.
The thing is that you play it once, it's silent and so I would
give you back. Stupid, Lindsey.
Stupid up. So dumb, Lindsey.
Well anyway, that got me to thinking.

(45:51):
Of course the lovely Lisa's beenon our show.
I've had a crush on her for years so I'd like to take her
breath away. You have made creepy an art.
You really? You're like the Michelangelo of
creepy. Creepy alert.
Creepy alert. Creepy alert.
Creepy alert. So this was from the Friday show
and it's the first where Beam was said he wanted to go to

(46:14):
Mars. I am even more jealous of 2 Los
Angeles residents, both of whom we must make a desperate attempt
to get on the show. Sue Anne Peen is 1.
Mario Bonasen. I'm probably mispronouncing both
of their names right now, and I apologize for that.
They are two people left in the pool of those who will from whom
will be selected the Mars 1 mission candidates.

(46:39):
Now remember when this came out last week when they were looking
for people to sign up to go to Mars on a one way trip to live
there for the rest of their lives?
And I was all about that and desperately wanted to do it.
So wish it would have been you. Me too.
Over 200,000 applicants by the way, for the spots I.
Don't understand? I don't understand not wanting

(47:00):
to go, but it's one way, right? They don't kill you when you get
there. You still are alive.
You're just alive on Mars for the for the last part of your
life. But who do you hang out with?
The people you fly with. You build this, you're built.
You build a new civilization there.
You colonize another planet. That's what you get to do with

(47:21):
your life. That's awesome.
Two years into it, maybe, But the first ones just show up and
go. All right.
Yep. This Is Us.
Here we are. There's like Survivor.
There's a rock. In a terrible place.
That's a that's a terrible trip and that's.
Everything goes exactly according to plan, which it
never does. Yeah, there are over over
200,000 people applied. They're now they've whittled it

(47:43):
down to 700 worldwide. So they've still got a long ways
to go to be selected among the final 24.
So they're going to be 24. They're going to train and
travel. They estimate that this trip
will take off in about 10 years.Now, NASA, who does not comment
directly on Mars One, which is aprivate mission, NASA says they
don't think they could go to Mars.
It would take them 20 years to go to Mars.

(48:03):
So 10 years may be optimistic. But then again, NASA would go
and they would plan a return trip.
So that's a little bit harder. So I was thinking that was 11
years ago and they still haven'tbeen to Mars.
Dang it. I also thought being has trouble
staying in one place on Earth. You know, he moves from
Louisiana to England back to Louisiana back.

(48:25):
He just moving all over the country in England.
How's he going to stay in Mars in one spot for the rest of his
life? Right.
Isn't he moving again? Maybe he could move all around
Mars. Yeah, he's moving to the country
now. He's going to eat a lot of
Peaches. I like that one.
No file on that one. Lindsay is confused.

(48:52):
But yeah, he he moves way too much to be in this mission.
I don't. I figured that would that would
be a turn off for him. He wouldn't want that mission.
I was just wondering, I would doit because when I was a kid,
being an astronaut was a big deal.
What about you guys? Would you do something where you
do your goal and you're never coming back?
Nope, I didn't even like to fly.I would.

(49:13):
I think I would just because I don't like coming back.
I just want to be alone, like a little hermit.
As long as I can zoom in and do these podcasts every week, it'll
be cool. All right.
Lindsay, would you do it? Space kind of scares me.
And we were playing this video game, I think it was called
Banjo Kazooie, where you fall into space when you die.

(49:35):
And I was like, so upset. I told my brother, like, just
warn me if you're going to die so I could look away.
I was like so so paranoid about it but maybe I don't know.
If you get lost in space, I guess that is a fear you would
like freeze and suspended animation and come back in the

(49:56):
year 2500 and and and meet a bunch of new cool people and
have a bunch of adventures. Are you doing a Futurama riff
there, Christopher I? Was doing a Buck Rogers riff.
Oh, Buck Rogers. In the 25th century.
I don't know where many of thesepeople are.
I barely know Buck Rogers myself, so that was Mars One.

(50:17):
And now here's being surprising everybody with 1/3 Christmas.
Welcome into the show for a Friday.
It's also a third Christmas, by the way.
So happy 1/3 Christmas, everybody.
Ralph Sears have the showbiz beat.
What's going on, man? Wait, what just happened?
Thank you. What just happened?
Gloss over that. What?
What? It's happy. 1/3 Christmas today.
What's 10? You mean we're 1/3 of the way to

(50:39):
Christmas? Yeah, we're 4-4 months in.
Today's the 25th. I I celebrate all the 20 fifths,
but especially the big ones. Today's 1/3.
They're practically around the corner.
Ho, ho, ho. Shut up.
Now here's her off with the showbiz beat.

(51:01):
It's taken all I have not to walk the hell out of the room.
1/3 Christmas it's not a thing. It's.
The opposite of a thing. Whatever that would be, it's
that it certainly is a thing. Wow, I want to punch you so bad.

(51:21):
This is why he had to move to anisland, because he would never
stop getting punched. Happy happy 1/3 Christmas.
Happy 4 7/8 and 7 sixteenths forChristmas.
Making up measurements. It's not going to be like this
on Mars, man. We're all going to be
celebrating what, third Christmas on Mars?
I used to go on your way to go to freaking Mars.
I'll pitch in the. Thing I was thinking is being

(51:45):
like pretty numbers, you know, even numbers.
So I was surprised you did 1/3. I could see 1/2.
I loved Ralph's anger. Oh man, Ralph just being so
angry. I think that's why he's on the
Mount Rushmore, because he just reflects the anger of a
generation. Yeah, right.
The thing is when I pulled that clip, if you, if you look at the

(52:06):
wave on your in your computer, there's like all these gaps and
it's just cuz everybody is stunned and looking back,
they're like they just, they're trying to process it getting
mattered. You just hear the urge to kill
rising, just just all through that clip.
Even when I was listening to it and I'm like, did I cut

(52:26):
something out? And I'm like, oh, no, they're
just, they're paused. They're stunned.
Bean would have been murdered ifhe was in studio.
I think so. Let's finish with some
historical revisionism. I'd like to go back to the old
shows because I can, right or wrong.
So listen to this. This was a celebrity birthday.
It was on April 25th. Renee Zellweger is 45 years old.

(52:50):
Some people hitting us up via the the interwebs saying hey,
where's the bell for Renee Zellweger?
Some people listener Edwin is the guy that emailed you, Ralph.
Sheesh. Give me some credit here.
So let's fix that up. And this is what would happen.
Can we mute him, Edwin? Can we mute him?
And I don't think she gets a bell.
She doesn't get a. Bell.

(53:10):
She does get a bell. No bell.
Bell for all time, no bell. This is what should have
happened Celebrity birthdays Academy Award winner Renee
Zellweger. Actually, I forgot to lay in the
track. Now the copyright police have
been on our backs, so I couldn'tuse any music.
I had to do this a cappella Celebrity birthdays Academy

(53:33):
Award winner name Zellweger. There you go, that that's the
way to go out. Renee Zellweger now went
forever. How dare you there?
You go for for Renee Zellweger. Gotta get that.
This is my segment and she gets all the bills.

I'm done, by the way. Oh, babe, what did you think
about that whole entire segment?Why would you do that?
Why would you? I don't, no.
So back to you, Steve. You.
