Show notes

Mike’s peaceful Burger King lunch becomes a four-act Florida epic when he feeds French fries to an ibis and a self-appointed bird marshal orders him to stop. Words fly, cars lurch, “fat boy” enters the chat, and Mike discovers his best comeback to a personal insult is apparently “nice car.” Robb and Josh prepare for an Outer Banks weekend together, test Tesla’s ASS mode, and reassure everyone that Still Talkin’ chemistry can survive a shared vacation. The crew revisits David Letterman and Zsa Zsa Gabor eating their way through Los Angeles, then samples Lewis Black’s war on Junior Mints. Add Botoxed beauty camels, Ted Lasso deodorant, a romantically adventurous vacuum cleaner, and a Sarasota alligator, and today’s show is strictly for the birds.

[SPEAKER_11]: it's only the beginning and now here's Mike you know no doubt we'll be telling you about our final voyage coming up in the first break today but i have to tell you that there are days like this when i say to myself what what would i do if i didn't have this program to come in and talk

[SPEAKER_11]: to use the people's.

[SPEAKER_10]: I will say that when you sat down, you did not seem distracted, but you seemed focused on getting the show started.

[SPEAKER_10]: Like you had a message to carry back.

[SPEAKER_11]: And for the people that are that were here four minutes early, we'll wait because I want everybody to pay attention.

[SPEAKER_10]: Well, these are known as the lost minutes.

[SPEAKER_10]: This is like Nixon.

[SPEAKER_10]: These are the three minutes that no one will hear.

[SPEAKER_11]: Josh, I sent you a video that I believe I entitled Rob talks to carry weird things show up on my algorithm and let's just pop that on right now for Rob's B-Wack.

[SPEAKER_11]: Thank you.

[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.

[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_09]: That is so dead on.

[SPEAKER_09]: You don't know how real this is.

[SPEAKER_09]: That last week Rob had a discussion about knives with his wife.

[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, I did.

[SPEAKER_10]: There's a matter of fact.

[SPEAKER_10]: But if you change it, if you change the vector records, and then if you put like subtitles under I said, carry, carry, look at the label.

[SPEAKER_10]: It's darker orange, and she's just hearing clicks and pops.

[SPEAKER_10]: That's it.

[SPEAKER_10]: What we got.

[SPEAKER_11]: it's funny you know the uh that I just need to gather myself I still need to gather myself as we tape this show it's uh roughly almost four fifteen eastern time uh on a Tuesday and uh I got a lot to tell you about but uh i'm 67 years old and nobody has said this about me but I

[SPEAKER_11]: really don't look for trouble, but trouble does seem to occasionally find me.

[SPEAKER_10]: That's a really convenient thing to say, but don't you think after a while?

[SPEAKER_10]: the trend points to the fact that maybe if you're not looking for it, maybe you manufacture it.

[SPEAKER_11]: No, not in this particular, I will say this that I envy you with your non-confrontational style because it would have benefited me greatly.

[SPEAKER_11]: Sure.

[SPEAKER_11]: I, I pissed off a Karen, a male Karen today.

[SPEAKER_10]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_11]: I pissed off a male Karen.

[SPEAKER_09]: like I haven't pissed somebody off in a very long time and it goes to show you never know, yes, sir, I'm hoping that the pistol of person is hector because you gave the debit card to someone else.

[SPEAKER_10]: I'm hoping it's a follow up now and half of those people who put my good Samaritan may what Josh this is what we on the show like to say Mike was off to another Charlie adventure that we had put button on them on the debit venture. [SPEAKER_11]: Yeah what I did sent this individual into a very very angry [SPEAKER_11]: downward spiral. [SPEAKER_11]: It did. [SPEAKER_11]: There was no waiting. [SPEAKER_11]: It began angry and it continued extremely angry. [SPEAKER_10]: Was the impetus for it? [SPEAKER_10]: Obviously, you both share some blame if there is a condition. [SPEAKER_10]: Well, perhaps. [SPEAKER_10]: I'm just curious, who was the first person to make this happen of the two of you? [SPEAKER_11]: Well, it wasn't me. [SPEAKER_10]: OK, good. [SPEAKER_10]: That's a decent amount of money. [SPEAKER_11]: And your point depends on when you say this, but when you say make this happen, I'm sure, you know, there are two sides to every story, and I'm sure the case could be made by this other individual that what I did was, you know, I started it. [SPEAKER_10]: No, well, you shoot him down by saying that you started it because of something he did. [SPEAKER_10]: It is. [SPEAKER_10]: It depends. [SPEAKER_09]: If the parent is the one yelling and started it by yelling, it's still Mike's fault if he ran over her foot. [SPEAKER_11]: This is not a lady, it's a man. [SPEAKER_11]: This is car to man outside of car, car, man in car to man in car. [SPEAKER_11]: Oh, that's really bad. [SPEAKER_11]: And me outside of car to man in car. [SPEAKER_10]: Wow, so if this would've been like a play, there would be several scenes. [SPEAKER_11]: There would be, you could break it up and do a couple of scenes. [SPEAKER_11]: Okay, probably, let me see. [SPEAKER_11]: One, [SPEAKER_11]: two, three, and four, probably four separate compartments. [SPEAKER_09]: But man car leads to man pulling gun out of glove box. [SPEAKER_10]: Occasionally, yeah. [SPEAKER_09]: In Florida, this is my look. [SPEAKER_11]: If that had happened and, you know, retirement came a little earlier, you know, I would probably say, what a foolish thing to do. [SPEAKER_10]: Selfish, we need you for the cruise. [SPEAKER_10]: But here it is. [SPEAKER_11]: I have a limit. [SPEAKER_10]: I understand. [SPEAKER_11]: I have a limit. [SPEAKER_11]: I have a limit. [SPEAKER_11]: And even though what I did initially pissed this guy off, [SPEAKER_11]: Uh, you know, well, I, it probably would be best if, uh, if I told you the story. [SPEAKER_10]: Start at the beginning. [SPEAKER_11]: In what way? [SPEAKER_10]: Well, it's a very good place to start. [SPEAKER_10]: Just, I mean, we've, we've, we've, we've already recap the fact that there's four scenes. [SPEAKER_10]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_11]: Start at the very, well, I did something that set him off. [SPEAKER_10]: Oh, I was hoping that it wouldn't be that wouldn't be the beginning. [SPEAKER_11]: So I said to Rob, who in his adult state does not do dress for your hersels very well, I said to Rob multiple times, ask me what did you do? [SPEAKER_11]: He didn't take that direction. [SPEAKER_11]: So now I will just jump right into it. [SPEAKER_10]: I thought you meant during the story. [SPEAKER_10]: No, I'm telling the story. [SPEAKER_10]: So what did you do? [SPEAKER_11]: What I did will come at the end. [SPEAKER_09]: But I will now tell like pop fiction. [SPEAKER_09]: I will tell you what at the end. [SPEAKER_11]: I will tell you what happened, leading up to it and where we were. [SPEAKER_10]: Okay. [SPEAKER_11]: This takes place. [SPEAKER_11]: My day was very, very full. [SPEAKER_11]: I took my son to school, had a very nice drive down to school. [SPEAKER_11]: And then today was the day that I was informed, [SPEAKER_11]: by the people at green acres, my new golf facility that I have been officially put on the waiting list and that comes at a good time because I am officially out of Happy Valley as of today. [SPEAKER_11]: As of yesterday was my last day at Happy Valley. [SPEAKER_10]: I didn't realize that you had named it green acres. [SPEAKER_10]: That's beautiful. [SPEAKER_11]: Well, for the lack of a bet, I will come up as a time goes on. [SPEAKER_11]: I will rename it. [SPEAKER_10]: It conjures up as beautiful image. [SPEAKER_10]: But Mike, what did you do? [SPEAKER_10]: That's what America wants to know. [SPEAKER_11]: we will get to that. [SPEAKER_11]: All right. [SPEAKER_11]: We'll get to my crime. [SPEAKER_10]: Okay. [SPEAKER_11]: I decided that once I found out via it was a text, I called the guy and he was in a meeting and so he texted me back said, everything went great. [SPEAKER_11]: You're your in-bubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubb [SPEAKER_11]: Okay, and he's the membership director who put you on you. [SPEAKER_11]: You now will get on the list The privilege of being on the list to wait till a spot opens up and they still have to approve you They order someone after die [SPEAKER_11]: they put you on a wall for a month and uh... to give everybody their chance to see who it is and then they vote on you and then uh... you get on the list and then it is as a spot opens up uh... you get there and they said they work that way the members get to vote uh... no no no no they don't vote oh okay if anybody says i recognize him he has the one that we don't want that crime that i committed today [SPEAKER_09]: Okay, okay. [SPEAKER_10]: Did you come in from Mike? [SPEAKER_11]: What did you do to us? [SPEAKER_11]: We'll get to that. [SPEAKER_10]: All right, that's how you get it. [SPEAKER_11]: Rob, that's kind of where I was going with the whole thing. [SPEAKER_11]: Thank you, Mike. [SPEAKER_11]: I was, thank you, Rob. [SPEAKER_10]: And so you're trying to become a member of Green Acre. [SPEAKER_11]: I am now when when the when it opens up. [SPEAKER_11]: Okay, but I have the ability to go to their practice facility and I have the ability to play there with guest fees as long as I want. [SPEAKER_11]: Is it a courtesy like a courtesy thing and it's cool because I'm a range rat and the place is really close to where my kid goes to school. [SPEAKER_11]: So I can hit balls because I'm like doing that. [SPEAKER_10]: Do that. [SPEAKER_10]: Have a courtesy bar. [SPEAKER_10]: You can drop off that will make up a body valve come later where I find it. [SPEAKER_11]: I don't think so I think I get to go use the range and I'm not I'm not in yet. [SPEAKER_11]: So that's it. [SPEAKER_10]: That'll be I'm I'm looking at the chat room. [SPEAKER_10]: We just want to know what did you do that we'll get to that okay? [SPEAKER_11]: So after this I make the arrangements because Karla's gonna pick my son up and take him to work out after school I don't have the duty usually on a Tuesday. [SPEAKER_11]: I got pickup and drop off and pick up but I have the free time [SPEAKER_11]: So you ever pick him up for workouts or do you mostly just get ice cream when you go I go to I go to read us I go to read us work out center or or the DQ DQ weight room I got a very hot phone call from my mom last night. [SPEAKER_10]: She says Tell Mike to try telemook cheese [SPEAKER_10]: Oh, okay. [SPEAKER_10]: I don't want it. [SPEAKER_10]: I'm all over it, baby. [SPEAKER_11]: Thank you, Sharon. [SPEAKER_11]: I will say that because at the free time, something I rearrange things, I said it's time to get the the long locks trimmed up a little bit. [SPEAKER_11]: Now go see Kevin. [SPEAKER_11]: My buddy. [SPEAKER_11]: And we will chat. [SPEAKER_11]: and I had about an hour to kill in between going to green acres and then going to get my haircut. [SPEAKER_10]: So Kevin, like an appointment, so you have to kill him before you get there. [SPEAKER_11]: 15, 2015. [SPEAKER_11]: My crime took place at roughly one. [SPEAKER_11]: No, no, but one one 15. [SPEAKER_10]: Okay, so let's say it is one 15 Eastern time. [SPEAKER_10]: Mike, what did
