Bob and Zip Show with Ed Kelly – Jun 9, 2021 Jun 09, 2021

Show notes

Do you care that the richest billionaires in America pay no taxes, and do you think the whistleblowers who published that info are guilty of a crime?

New Alzheimer’s medicine, should insurance pay for it?

The Wuhan lab leak theory exposed for what it is – propaganda and ratings.

Why Bob loves Vermont, and how to break 3 lawnmowers in one week.

A show you should start binging that already has four seasons, and a fifth on the way. (Sidebar: It will give you a very basic idea what Bitcoin is).

We close the show with 2 Bob’s Garage buried treasures. The Melvins, and Nazareth!

Bob and Zip Show with Ed Kelly – Jun 4, 2021 Jun 04, 2021

Show notes

Trump’s blog shuts down after anemic numbers, making Zuckerberg the most powerful man on the planet.

Zip is raving about a movie from 1995 that’s free on YouTube (Freefall: Flight 174). We tease him but it’s a great flick… Bob and Ed both admit they could live entirely on YouTube.

The Supreme Court rules on a case involving a stripper.

HBO Max: The Undoing, starring Hugh Grant and Nicole Kidman. No spoilers, unless Nicole Kidman’s real age counts.

It’s the end of an era for Zip as he sells a prized possession… And the Story of Pearl Princess, Bob and Lisa’s rescue cat.

Show notes

‘Mare of Easttown’ is the biggest HBO hit in a long time. No spoilers, but we examine what it’s like to be a subscription impaired American like Zip, who thinks the Smithsonian Channel is where the action is.

Spike O’Neill can’t shut his Air Conditioner off because it’s 82 degrees in Seattle! He prepares for his new gig as a spokesperson for Natural Gas, as several US cities outlaw its use in new construction. We take a Fair and Balanced approach to busting his balls.

What is the origin of “Woke”? Bob googles it so you won’t have to.

Comic, Andrew Rivers has completed an audition invitation for a reality TV series. This one’s perfect for him. And it ain’t the Bachelor.

Ed reads a Patreon answering machine message. If you’re a Patreon, request yours at show[the at symbol]bobrivers.com

Our listeners numbers are increasing, Bob re-introduces the cast for the noobs.

Show notes

Why the Oil industry suddenly cares about climate change.

Bob shares it feels like traveling as the Pandemic is winding down. Today’s CDC numbers make it clear that the emergency is coming to an end in the good old USA, but you should still be careful.

And how loyalty programs rope you in (you’re special!) and then let you down (deflation of your point portfolio).

Ed volunteers free phone answering messages for all Patreon supporters, and we demo a few.

Show notes

Do any of us understand Bitcoin? Do you?

The end of the Pandemic is nigh, and Bob makes a confession.

The upside and downside of living in the USA. What does your income rank in the USA? What percentile? Now compare with the world and see how lucky we are.

How do you decide who to block on social media?

Spike makes up songs on the spot and Ed adds another half dozen characters to the cast on this nearly 1 3/4 hour podcast.

We recommend a Podcast, hosted by smart rich guys, and a documentary about the Opioid epidemic.

We close with listener reactions to our right wing talk host guest Karen Grace – a few kudos and some nega-dittos.

We read some listener emails, and we’re grateful for your listenership.

Bob and Zip Show with Ed Kelly – May 21, 2021 May 21, 2021

Show notes

A veteran of talk radio, Karen Grace drops in to talk Demi Lovato, Bill Gates, and talks about the Program Director who fired her in Seattle.

Moments in radio broadcasting when told “Stop talking about THAT, right NOW!”

Zip has trouble sleeping, and is considering dipping his toe in the water at a local dispensary. He asks Ed Kelly for advice (Ed’s main squeeze Lizzy is a Budtender). The secret password is: “Indica”.

Spike talks about his job, working PR for the natural gas industry.

And Bob has to look up what “non-binary” and “synthetic beets”.

Show notes

It’s Spike night on Bob and Zip… We talk about “No Masks”, and the three things that are expensive to buy, but almost impossible to sell.

Bob is still bugged about the Bill and Melinda divorce. We are all suspicious of news stories where “sources say” that Melinda is peeved about Bill meeting with Jeffrey Epstein 10 years ago. Is that just clickbait on old news?

Bob talks about how to negotiate a good deal on almost anything. Except that when you know you have no leverage, just pay up.

A rock star inquired about purchasing a vintage microphone from Bob. We can’t tell you who (you’ll probably guess), and it did sell to someone else.

Bob and Zip Show with Ed Kelly – May 12, 2021 May 12, 2021

Show notes

Today Bob and Zip salute the first Health Food Hero of our childhood. Popeye the sailor man (played by Ed Kelly). We wax poetic about spinach and rip Iceberg lettuce to shreds.

Speaking of Icebergs, have you seen “Mare Of Easttown” yet? It’s Kate Winslet’s dark drama about a murder investigation in a small town in Pennsylvania. Ed saId Kate Winslet is unrecognizable. The Oscar Winning actress says: “Yeah, I am older. I look like crap sometimes. I do not want to play roles that feed into anything unattainable anymore. I’m done with that.” Thumbs up so far.

Believe it or not, a major recording artist sang a song for Bob & Zip today.

We also ponder the fact that some of today’s issues also existed 150 years ago. History repeats.

As always, thank you to our Patreon supporters – Patreon.com/bobrivers

Bob and Zip Show with Ed Kelly – May 7, 2021 May 07, 2021

Show notes

Zip doesn’t remember asking, do you want to “swap?”, and we believe him.

Lisa makes a brief appearance, and her memory is intact.

Bob wonders if the podcast is going to tarnish his “good dad” image, and we reminisce that all of us had tough fathers. Ed’s dad was a rolling stone, as in “wherever he laid his hat was his home”.

Spike turned Bob on to a “recreational drug” years ago (not what you think), and Zip has the skinny on how to get it cheap.

A shout out to Patreon supporter Neil Scott, of RecoveryCoastToCoast.com… your comments and ideas are very much appreciated.

Bob and Zip Show with Ed Kelly – May 5, 2021 May 05, 2021

Show notes

Ed Kelley has a busy global voice work schedule. Lately they shoot video of his lips to make the cartoons more realistic – he’ll explain.

Scientific study says that the street drug “Molly” may have a therapeutic medical use for sufferers of PTSD. This causes Bob to literally flash back to high school, where he took whatever was handed to him, back in the day.

Comedian Andrew Rivers explains why he’s suddenly become fodder for the national tabloids.

And Bob and Zip make a prediction that will be provably wrong by the time you read this. Tell us what you think anytime, show[the at sign]bobandzip.com
