1740 D&S: Doug's Workin' the Southwest Air System Jul 31, 2026

Show notes

I actually listened to the episode today, and I'm still not sure how Doug managed to book all his flights. I hope he doesn't accidentally end up in Tasmania. I'm also glad to hear that Strickland was able to send that money to his friend. I wonder if the guy's Venmo handle of "Nigerian_Prince_242" was the flag?

1738 D&S Will be Partying in Austin This Weekend! Jul 24, 2026

Show notes

Doug had an interesting point about Strickland sounding like the singer from The Hawk intro. I wasn't sure, so I searched the web and found a few interesting clips, don't tell him I posted these:

Here are two songs from when he was in a Who cover band (you may need to log into FB to see them):

Who are You- https://www.facebook.com/GoingMobileTribute/videos/611926162538848

The Real Me- https://www.facebook.com/GoingMobileTribute/videos/234026690624909

Then I found the real gem- His current band. He hasn't mentioned it on the show yet, but they shot a video a few months ago and some of the clips are on his YouTube site, check it out- Rock Radio Rewind Demo

1736 D&S are Stealing the Mid-Term Elections Jul 17, 2026

Show notes

Of the five documents that Trump released last night about U.S. voter fraud, Doug and Strickland's names appear in all of them. Neither Doug nor Strick are actually US citizens, but they vote early, they vote often, and in multiple states. They've collected more voter roll infomation than China, Venezuela, and ANTIFA combined, and they're not afraid to use it. They spent hundreds of millions of dollars influencing votes in the 2024 elections, and since that didn't help, they plan to spend even more in the midterms.

BTW- These show notes are exclusively designed to get the attention of the White House. Doug and Strickland are hoping that the DOJ arrests them so they can get more attention like the cat lady did for her account. If you actually believe anything that Trump said in his speech and that US voting is compromised, I encourage you to look at the facts. Over the last 20 years, 78 instances of voter fraud have been discovered. Not 78 "plots" but a total of 78 illegal votes that were cast, out of billions of votes in these federal elections. If that's not enough, think about this- The republicans control the House, the Senate, the White House, and the Supreme Court because they won the 2024 elections. Why are they the only ones complaining about voter fraud? Because cheating is the only way they can stay in office.

Having said ALL of that, the guys don't actually talk about politics at all today. I just saw Trump's speech and it pissed me off, so I had to rant about it. After that, I didn't have time to listen to the episode.
