Episode 4 is here, and it’s a wild one! We’re talking about the bird flu making a comeback (should we start hoarding eggs?), the greatest boy bands of all time (and the ones that should’ve stayed in the ‘90s), and of course, football—because what’s a week without some NFL chaos? Oh, and he’s back in the headlines… you know, the Orange Man himself. Tune in for unfiltered banter, bad takes, and the kind of humor that’ll probably get us cancelled again.

Exactly, that's right .

Speaker 1 (02:16):

same answer he wasn't there.
So never mind Moving on.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
Get the bird food there.
So never mind Moving on, it'sokay.
We're going to call Kansas Cityin a second, because I'm sure
they got so used to winning theSuper Bowl.
I'm sure they all expectthey're going to three-peat
really easy.
There's going to be a Mahomesparty, a Kelsey and Taylor
Swiftie party.
They walked off like man.
The worst sports in the world.
We don't like to lose and we'renot used to it.
We're going to check the vibein KC in a little bit though,

(02:46):
but I got to tell you I sawsomeone watch something on the
CW the other night.
They just brought back allthese old radio memories.
They did a thing called someboy bands okay yeah which
started in the 90s, and theykind of petered out around 2002.
Were you still doing radio whenthe boy bands came out.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
I was in Vegas, yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
It just dominated man .
It made me think of the timewhen I had the New Kids on the
Block.
I guess they were younger thanBackstreet Boys and stuff.
I don't think they traveled allover Europe like the Backstreet
Boys did and like some of theother bands did.
That's where they got theirstart.
By the time they came back homethey were pretty monstrous and
they had their hits and theyjust took off from there.

(03:25):
But new kids in the block werein town for a concert.
I said all right, so I had themon the show.
They didn't come in becausethey were tired.
It was just a phone-in with eachof the guys and I was talking
to Donnie Wahlberg at the moment.
I just said you know, hey, guys, enjoy this, because in two
years from now he's going to bea new kid too.
So you just need to reallyenjoy it, make your money and

(03:48):
just have great memories andhave a good time.
And all I did was piss him off.
He goes what do you mean?
New kid too?
I said, well, look, you'reyoung.
It's not going to last forever.
That's the next big thing willcome around.
We're going to be like theBeatles.
We're going to be forever.
I saw him going.
He's getting pissed.
I went no, you're not.
Yeah, we are, he goes.

(04:08):
You going to the show tonight?
I go no, why would I go to yourshow?
I'm not your audience.
Okay, we're sending a lot ofyoung girls your way who you'd
rather have anyway are going tothe show.
You meet me outside the venuetonight and I'll show you how
we're going to be around forhours.
What are you going to do?
Beat the crap out of me.
I went oh, no, you come out ofthe studio then.
No, you come to the bus.
No, you come to the studio.

(04:29):
I thought he was kidding.
I don't know what happened.
He was not kidding, he wantedto beat the shit out of me.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
Oh, we could have sold tickets for I thought it
was funny.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
All of a sudden my phone started flicking like a
Christmas tree.
So I'm answering the callscoming in live and these guys
call and go.
Will you pick it on Saturdaybefore you leave?
I?

Speaker 1 (04:50):
hope he beats the shit out of you.
I'll give you odds on that man.
I'll give you 30 to 1.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
It was like it's not just up at the time I'm going to
get beat up by a 15-year-oldprobably.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
Yeah, yeah, jeez.
Oh well, only you could pissoff the new kids on the block.

Speaker 2 (05:08):
Well, I'm going to see he's not going to remember
that, but then again he may,because coming up in June the
new kids start a residency here.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
Oh, that's right, they are, aren't?

Speaker 2 (05:18):
they Through a connection.
I know one of the other newkids.
I'm going to the show, okay,because it's adults now.
Right, screaming teenagers aremiddle-aged, haggie women.
I mean beautiful women.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
Yeah, beautiful women , beautiful women screaming,
yeah, hold on.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
Anyway, I get to go, steve and June, and go backstage
, so I'll mention it down andsee if he remembers what
happened.
I hope he doesn't, because thenhe may want to beat the shit
out of me again.
I'm like, oh, come on.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
Yeah, look at my foot .
Yeah, you want to beat the shitout of an old cripple?
Sure, go ahead.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
Here I am.
I'll kick his foot up your assand see how far I get.
I got the right stuff on myleft leg.
I got the right stuff, babyit's good Baby oh oh, oh Baby.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
Baby.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
They probably had the worst songs of any boy band.
I mean, I think Backstreet Boysand 98 Degrees had the best
songs and they still play todayon some music channels,
especially on Soundlight andSiriusXM.
I don't hear any new kids'songs they're like, but they
tour some music channels,especially on satellite, on
SiriusXM.
I don't hear any new kids songs, but they tour every summer and
they tour with the BackstreetBoys.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
Sometimes it's pure nostalgia is all it is.
It's not that they've doneanything new.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
Still dancing the same.
The songs are there.
They've made some other stuff,I don't know.
All the groups were so youngthen and semi-attractive, are
now old and fat.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
Unattractive.
Well, you know, we all age indifferent ways, don't we?
Yeah, we do as I age.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
I get darker.
As you age, you get biggier.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
I get a bigger beak.
You know your nose never stopsgrowing and neither do your ears
.
Did you know that?

Speaker 2 (07:06):
Well, again, when you get older, you know, those ears
get bigger and your face drops,and so the ears and nose take
on a new, separate life of theirown.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
Yeah, that's what I hear.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
And some people they get monstrous.
They're going like I've got tocall my plastic surgeon.

Speaker 1 (07:20):
We used to have a friend called Chaz who had the
biggest schnoz and he was only30-something.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
He did.
Do you have a picture of him?
How big is that thing now?

Speaker 1 (07:31):
Well, I think it takes up part of Dallas,
probably so.

Speaker 2 (07:39):
I went to the doctor's office and he was one
of the other doctors that wasthere, not my doctor.
For God's sake, I'd never beable to look at him with a
straight face, had the biggestnose.
His nose was like it was putinto a meat grinder.
It was all hot, marked and big.
I'm just going what the hellhappened to him.
He's not my guy so I don't havea chance to ask him.

(07:59):
My God, it's called astrawberry nose.
My guys don't have a chance toask him, but my God, it's called
a strawberry nose.
It was big, full of tacky scar.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
It was just like Exactly what it's called.
In fact, prince even wrote asong about it Strawberry nose.
Everyone can see it, strawberrynose.

Speaker 2 (08:17):
It was more like a meat grinder nose man.
It was just like it's allchopped up.
It's just like man, you're inthe field, man, go do something
about that.
We're going to look at thatwith patience, I mean we're
going to trust you.

Speaker 1 (08:30):
Well, hey, you know what you know, what this, I
think, is really interesting.
We just had the Super Bowl,right yeah, which was
interesting.
Did you know that our wonderfulcommander-in-chief, orange
Shit-Gibbon for another name, mrTrump who went there, made a
big deal about it, fell asleepduring the first half and left

(08:54):
halfway?

Speaker 2 (08:56):
Well, you left at halftime just because the whole
entourage would get out of there.
He waited until the end.
Everyone's got to sit there andwait.
They can't leave until heleaves first.
So he was kind of doing a favor.
The game was over at halftimeanyway, to be honest.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
The.

Speaker 2 (09:08):
Thing he's going on about.
They showed his face on thescreen.
He was saluting what they weredoing.

Speaker 1 (09:14):
That's what they got.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
This huge roar of applause went up.
I went okay, well.
Roar of applause went up.
I went okay, well, and he justloved that.
That's why we talk about.
When they showed Taylor Swift,they booed the crap out of her
because it was really more of aPhilly crowd and she's there to
support the Chiefs.
Of course they're going to booher.
She made a funny claim.
She had a good time about it.

(09:36):
Travis Kelsey said afterwardshe saw what happened.
He said my heart went out there.
I could tell she was hurt by it.
I was crushed for her.
I used to protect her, but Icouldn't do anything about it.
I'm going lighten up.
It's just a football thing.

Speaker 3 (09:50):
She's from.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
Pennsylvania, who used to cheer for the Eagles.
So she meets, you know, KelseyBoyd, and now, of course, going
to cheer for the Chiefs.
That's why they booed himbecause he switched allegiances,
because his boyfriend's a Chief.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
I see, oh, all right, okay, poor thing, otherwise
Taylor doesn't get booed.
You know that this is true.
Well, let's see Taylor.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
Thank you.
Thank you, stop on, cue A chump.
A normal scenario, he's just sobusy dismantling the government
he didn't have time for afootball game.
I was surprised he was there.

Speaker 1 (10:41):
This is a good point.
Yeah, he just looked.
Okay, well, just destroy ituntil I come back.
Just keep axing everything andeverybody.

Speaker 2 (10:49):
Department of Education.
We don't need that.
We need the kids grew up.
They're stupid.

Speaker 1 (10:54):
Here's a point and not that we like to get into
politics, but this is kind of,if you're going to say that, but
this is kind of, if you'regoing to say that I'm going to
make everything great foreverybody, everybody's going to
have a good job, everybody'sgoing to have food on the table,
everybody's going to affordcable, et cetera, et cetera,
except for those that I'm goingto fire, I'm sorry, guys,
there'll be no Social Securityand there'll be no unemployment

(11:15):
for you.

Speaker 2 (11:16):
Unemployment's been going down every month.
The new job rate's been goingup every month.
Now do you watch?
Next couple of months it'sgoing to start to reverse.
I would imagine Unemploymentwill go up, new jobs will go
down.
One of the things he ran on anoffice, if you remember, he said
it was the economy stupid.
He said you know he's going tofix that.
No more high-ag price.
He said no, bullshit.

(11:37):
They're worse than before theyare.
He's going to build the economyand he's going to build jobs
Bullshit.

Speaker 1 (11:43):
And you know what Bill Bell would have told us?
Just that, and it's all becausethey can't figure out.
They just haven't been able tofigure out exactly what the
shortage is.
Is it just eggs?
Is it eggs over easy?
Is it boiled eggs that areshort?
I'm worried.
Is it an omelette?
Is it boiled eggs that areshort?

Speaker 2 (12:00):
I'm worried.

Speaker 1 (12:01):
Is it an omelette?
Is it omelette eggs it could beor is it those eggs that you
get in a carton?
Or is it the chicken, the eggwhites?

Speaker 2 (12:10):
only I don't know.
You want to try them again.
I want to talk to the egg white.
I want to talk to Mr.

Speaker 1 (12:14):
Birdfoot.
All right, let's try them again.
Yeah, shall we?
This will be fun.

Speaker 2 (12:17):
This is going to be Washington County.
I'll make a phone call.
There he goes, looking that way.
I am looking down for his phone.
I am looking down.
Oh yeah, look at this way.

Speaker 1 (12:24):
Maybe get that way, here we go, got it right here,
ha-ha.
So there, right.
Okay, now then, mr Bell, mrBell, mr.

Speaker 2 (12:36):
Birdman.

Speaker 1 (12:38):
Bill Birdflew Birdman Indeed.
That would be interesting.
That phone ring on your rotaryphone there.
Let's see, didn't go.
Come on, bill.

Speaker 3 (13:02):
Be in, just for us.
Welcome to our voicemail system.
You have reached the mailboxOne At the tone, at the tone.

Speaker 1 (13:12):
We give up because we're not going to leave another
message.
Should we go over to KansasCity whilst we have all this
here?

Speaker 2 (13:17):
Yeah, let's go pick on Kansas City.
Real good, because they've beenwinning.
Mahomes is still a greatquarterback, so he had a bad
game, the worst game ever.
They had his number.

Speaker 1 (13:27):
You know they must have done.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
I mean, it's quite phenomenal really if you think
about it, of course it happenedin the Super Bowl to him, but
he's going to come back betterand stronger because he's that
type of competitor.
But I want to get the mood ofKansas City, so we're going to
call Joe's Kansas City PitBarbecue one of the most popular
places to get barbecue inKansas City, the place where
Coach Andy Reid goes to get hisbarbecue.

Speaker 1 (13:49):
Oh he does.
Perhaps he'd be there.

Speaker 2 (13:52):
He could be there.
It could be the President's outdrinking a fifth.
I mean, we don't know.
It's one thing to lose a game,but it's one thing to get your
ass spanked like that Holy crap.

Speaker 1 (13:59):
Yeah, really that is very bad.

Speaker 2 (14:03):
I'm sure Kansas City were getting ready for the big
three-peat parade.

Speaker 1 (14:06):
They're going this ain't going to happen?

Speaker 2 (14:08):
What happened to you guys?

Speaker 1 (14:09):
You know what?
The same thing happened to theUNLV running Rebels basketball
team.
They went for a three-peat anddidn't get it.

Speaker 2 (14:18):
Tough thing to do, man.
Tough thing to do.

Speaker 1 (17:31):
That's what the thing of it is.
She's like sleepy Trump.
