Show notes

Which mask is the best? Bob, Zip and Ed are Mask-Debators, with the facts on what you should do to keep as safe as possible.

Plus, a realistic timetable for when you might really get the vaccine.

Zip is so impressed with the NFL fake crowd noises… forget Fake News, we’re all bamboozled by “Fake Boo’s”.

Our Lawyer friend Shawn Alexander visits from Orcas Island to talk about “Pardons”, and why lawyers can’t exactly lie.

Comedian Andrew “What, Me Worry About Covid?” Rivers checks in from Oklahoma.

Show notes

Rarely do all three of us agree on anything, but Bob Zip and Ed Kelly have all devoured the Netflix mini series “The Queen’s Gambit”. No spoilers, but high praise. Bob enjoys every historical docudrama these days, largely because they make us forget about 2020.

It’s Zip’s Birthday- Dr Fauci personally wishes him many more. What’s te best thing an electronic device has ever said to you?

Ed has taught Alexa to say “You’re Welcome” and Bob got good vibes from a talking speed limit sign.

Spike joins us to play verbal ping pong, and he’s on fire.

We close with a remembrance of a long time listener, who holds the distinction of starring in both a classic adult film and a broadway musical (Jesus Christ Superstar, no less). He also sang a few Twisted Tunes. The late Johnny Keyes.

Plus Spike and the Impalers live performance of “Georgia On My Mind”.

Show notes

We’re recording live from Vermont, Detroit, Massachusetts, and California.

Special treat for the first five to listen to the end: A free Twisted Christmas APP (iPhone only). It’s our Post Turkey pow wow.

Bob is talking politics with a hard core right wing friend again. We’ve already dialed back the divisiveness.

Dr Fauci reminds us that he’s more irreverent than we see on TV.

How George Washington cooked the first Thanksgiving meal- and why it was in February.

Andrew and Keith drop in from Los Angeles, where they just ran into Jay Leno. Andrew reveals some of the “best” advice I ever gave him.

Show notes

Masks Masks everywhere… Bob drives through Vermont, Massachusetts and New Hampshire. In Boston, every single person is wearing a mask, even outside. It’s a mandate. And yet… many Americans have had it up to here with being told how not to die. They are willing to risk it all for a dinner and a tryptophan coma afterwards.

Morgan Freeman and Ed Kelly salute the great American Bird of tradition.

Politics has started to take a back seat, for some of us. Spike O’Neill still needs to spit some Joe Pesci poison out, though.

And Spike’s getting involved with a startup company making a product you’ll all want to own.

Note: Tune into the show Friday to learn about our Twisted Tunes and Twisted Christmas APPS!

Bob and Zip Show with Ed Kelly – Nov 20, 2020 Nov 20, 2020

Show notes

It’s the third wave, and we try to do 2 things- Honest conversation about how we’re handling it, and some actual educational information.

Not too serious, since we’re visited by the Ghost of Regis Philbin.

None of us really know what a messenger RNA Vaccine is… Bob has some basic info he found on the Internet. Mitch McConnell drops in to tell us how he became wealthy

And comedian Andrew Rivers visits to promote his latest YouTube Comedy Special.

Bob and Zip Show with Ed Kelly – Nov 18, 2020 Nov 18, 2020

Show notes

We talk about coronavirus first, as it’s hitting our friends and families.

Bob is reading Breitbart a lot, and found a completely factual article with very little spin.

Did you know Dolly Parton helped develop the Covid Vaccine? Is it time to horde supplies again?

And of course, the Trump sport of claiming without evidence that the election was rigged continues… it’s like the last 30 seconds of an NBA game with a barrage of Hail Mary 3 pointers from half court. You can’t look away. But the other team is up by about 300,000 points.

Bob and Zip Show with Ed Kelly – Nov 13, 2020 Nov 13, 2020

Show notes

Zip has the perfect solution to quickly settling all court cases regarding the 2020 Election; ‘Supreme Court-TV’.

We take you back to the future. It’s late 90’s and remember how scared we were back then about Y2K?? Hear some audio that will blow your mind; Donald Trump on Jay Leno, 1999

And Buckle-Up.. Andrew Rivers and Spike O’Neill hang for the 2nd half of the show!

Bob and Zip Show with Ed Kelly – Nov 11, 2020 Nov 11, 2020

Show notes

Warning Label: This podcast will serve as an election enema. We start with a flashback, in hopes that you’ll see just how silly we are.

The spirit of Walter Cronkite visits, to remind us of a time when news was polite.

We look on the bright side… no person has engaged more of our citizens in their right to vote… without winning.

Bob on accounts from Ann Wilson’s book (Kicking and Dreaming).. regrets past ‘Morning DJ’ references

Spike O’Neill almost doesn’t show, but rewards us in the end with his visit-

and we close with a Twisted Tune about a fake news story out of Georgia.

Spoiler Alert: Bigfoot does not win the recount.

Bob and Zip Show with Ed Kelly – Nov 6, 2020 Nov 06, 2020

Show notes

Recorded at noon on 11/06 as the election results get very close to being called, we take on the issues.. caring about each other, and some mild gloating.

Hearsay, fake news, misinformation.. lies & bullshit! – how can anyone know wtf is true anymore? (Facebook, of course!)

Ed is out today, so Spike O’Neill joins us 1/2 way through… But the most important thing on our minds is not even mentioned till near the end of the Podcast.

Our dear friend and brother Jeff Kathan has Coronavirus… your thoughts, well wishes and kind prayers are much appreciated. He’s one of the strongest people I know.

Bob and Zip Show with Ed Kelly – Nov 4, 2020 Nov 04, 2020

Show notes

A rollicking good time this Podcast is nearly live (Recorded noon November 4), as we face uncertainty over the next dew days.

A group hug for everyone as votes are counted.

Triage performed on expectations, and perhaps we can learn a lesson or 2 from our silly assumptions.

You won’t want to miss Spike O’Neill who joins us midstream

More prophetic than ever- we close with our Twisted Tune, King Trump… recorded July 2016, before the election!
