Hello my fellow Americans, this is your former president Bill Clinton. Well, we've all heard about the so called success of the cash for Clunkers program. You trade in your older gas sucking vehicle and the government gives you $4,500 off a brand new vehicle. Good for the environment and good for the economy. Maybe, but is it good for you and me? No. That's why I've come up with a new program that will help both and you. It's so brilliant in its concept I nearly get teary eyed just thinking about it. Yeah, it's simple. You bring me your older used model and I give you Cash. Oh that's right. Introducing the Bill Clinton Cash for Cougars program. Let's say you have tired of that hot middle aged woman want a newer younger model. I am the man to help you out. Heck, I got millions. Bill Clinton's Cash for Cougars is a limited time offer. Cash may be replaced by an IOU or a tax voucher. Warning. Participating cougars may or may not be returned after Mr. Clinton is finished with them. Rhode Island. Now listen and listen good America. Say this once. You must act fast. Yeah. This program will not last long. Hillary. I mean excuse me, Secretary of State Clinton. Bitch is busy in Africa or Tasmania or wherever the hell she is yelling at the foreign press. And she's going to be home soon. And once the old bat arrives back back on US soil, this program's gonna come to a screeching halt. Heck, I'll be fine. I'll just hop on airoon1 and go pick me up some more hostage chicks. You know, work, work, work. Listen, seriously, it's you I'm concerned about. I feel your pain. But Bill, you ask my cougar is slightly overweight. Will she still qualify for your Cash for Cougars program? You may want to look into the other program I'm launching right now called Cash for Chunkers. I like big buts of a cannot lie you other brother stand in I. So anyway, just go ahead twatter me or find me on that on my face page or on my tube or just call me Cash for Cougars and Cash for Chunkers. Uh huh. I'm just trying to help the American economy. Oh, look at here. My first cougar of the day has arrived. Hello Mr. President. Well hello Betty or whatever your name is. I'll tell you what, I may have to give an extra Kiwan speech tomorrow to pay for you girlfriend. Looks like you have a few miles on you. But I'll bet you can still lay some rubber. Cash for Cougars and Cash for Chunkers program are not associated with Cash for Clunkers. Credit for crap Money for nothing or any other federal programs offer still void in Rhode Island. Here's some extra. This is Bob and Tom. Extra. Tom's going to open his house up when Tom announces. I'm just trying to help the stuff that either came before it or after. Usually not helpful at all. No. Although Tom is one of the. I was thinking about this the other day. The no good deed goes unpunished. I believe we have a story coming up about that. Oh God, Tom, you are one of the kings of that. I just had one happen. You've had some generosity. Really backfire. I have had a couple really backfire. Okay, let's move forward here. But positivity is my new theme. And we were talking about blue jeans and this story from its. I think the story is about 10 years old, but it keeps coming back and surfacing, resurfacing, thanks to the Internet. And it's about the head guy at Levi's saying that he never washes his jeans. He freezes them or he showers in them. Oh, there was that trend for a while. Because then they shrink to your body. He doesn't do the long race showers. Sam do that? Your son did that? Did. Well, then he's an idiot. I I calling Sam an idiot. I don't. I. If he's doing that, I, I thought he did it when we were maybe. I don't know. Just. That seems really dumb. So you wear them in the shower and then just. You just keep wearing them all day. Like how do you dry them off? You'd have to go outside. Well, hopefully it was a summer day. And do you soak them up like you would your skin? Yeah. Wouldn't you get some kind of crotch rot? You'd have to. Yeah. Would you wear your underwear underneath it? And by the way, I'd like to go on record, I understand that our culture is amazing. I'm a huge fan of the great engineers in our world. We have tremendous everything. There are beautiful cars out there. There's 50 different great automobiles you can drive. Trucks, Everything about it. We're living in paradise. But the one thing they haven't perfected is the dryer sensor. Oh, yeah. Every single time they're not dry. They're not dry another 20 minutes. Yeah. Then you do the reset thing and you hit it for another 50 every time. I don't know who I talk to at Maytag or wherever the hell the thing is just saying I dry everything on high. I don't use the sensor 40 minutes every time. But see, then like the last 10 minutes, you're just baking your clothes and wasting them. Wasting I sound saving energy? Well, no, I. So I can get in my car and it gets 12 miles to a gallon and have some fun. I need that extra gas. I'm just saying that. Whatever. Those could use a little work. Yeah. I don't know what I figured mine out, but it took a lot of trial and error. Yeah. What do you mean? So when I put it in for the sensor for. Because it will shut off when it thinks it's done. Sure. I have to adjust the I have so many adjustments I can make on temperature. Gotcha. Heavy light, whatever the hell. So I just. I figured it out. What? What? My towels versus my jeans? Yeah. And while I'm at it, and this is true, we rented a condo to go skiing. And it had a. Had a dishwasher in there. Yeah, Yeah. I believe it was called an asko a S K O. And first of all, you turn it on, it gives you some kind of advertisement for Sweden or something. I forget what it was, but I had to go online and Google how to turn the thing on. It was so complicated. Oh, wow. All right. Things are getting a little bit complicated. That's all I'm saying. I like the old fashioned. One load, it hit hot, press the button, go do anything else. Okay, sorry. So we were talking about Blue Jeans, the CEO from Levi's, Matt has a song. It's about time. You've been doing the show for an hour and a half. You're sitting on your ass. Kip Berg, the CEO of Levi's, he showers in his jeans, so. Ladies and gentlemen, Neil Diamond. Thank you, Levi's boss. Yeah. He spills some tomato sauce on his dunkeries. No washing machine? No. I'd much rather take a shower in blue jeans. Baby. Baby denim unwashed. You keep wearing them till they gather moss, but I'd rather have them fresh and clean. Oh, you look like an idiot taking a shower. And maybe someday I can buy jeans only once and just throw them away. But for tonight, I want clean clothes when I'm on a date. Sweaty crack. Wash your jeans and dry clean your slacks. Unless the naked girls with me. I'm never gonna take a shower in blue jeans, thank you very much. And babe, Booby. Remember that one? I did not see that. Is that a quote from There's a Neil Diamond. How's that called? Star is Born or whatever he was in. There's a talk about the jazz singer. Oh, yes. Yeah, yeah. No, there's also. There's a famous live album, Booby with where Neil diamond is talking to Jeff Wald, the husband of Helen Reddy. And he goes, jeff, Booby. Like very showbiz. Hot August night. Yeah. And Hot August Night, famous for the Lester Bangs review. Hot August night. Remember the. Are they speaking in. No, it's one of the. It's one of the. It's one of the funniest reviews of all time. Reason the COVID Neil diamond looks like it's 15 inches long and about to shoot off. Remember? That's a very phallic cover. He looks. He's got like. Okay, so now we. We have a Miss Jess Hooker in here. Oh, I want to send. I want to read this letter because it affirms your love of the Easy Beats. Right? According to Randy. Thank you, Randy, for sending this. Peter Frampton does a version of Friday on My Mind on the Breaking all the Rules album. Yeah, apparently he's a fan. And also it's done by ace Gary Moore. Gary Moore, who had that. What is the song he. His big hit. Still have the blues for you. Great song. And yeah, Ms. Hooker, you missed that. You missed the Easy Beat segment. What is don't do. I don't even know why somebody just said you missed. You were listening. Okay, well, we had AC DC News today. Yes. And are you happy? Remember the ac. Acdc? Of course. The. The brothers Malcolm and Angus. Right. And sadly, Malcolm is gone, but their older brother George was in a band called the Easy Beats that had one of the first international hits out of Australia. Remember this one? Remember this one? Monday morning. Feels so bad. Now, here's the best guitar thing where it kicks in here. Here it comes. Here it comes. Right here. Nope, sorry. Here it is. Right. Oh, isn't that great? You have to do this stuff at home or in your car. We can't be polluting the airways. I am here to educate. Oh, look at this nice letter from Barry. I enjoyed the song by the Easy Beats very much. That's great, Barry. But I enjoy it more than TNT Dynamite. AC DC needs a chemistry lesson. Oh, one of those nerds. Is TNT different than Dynamite? I don't know. Obviously this gentleman is a professional. Barry, thank you for taking the time. Oh, look, here's Steve from the Buckeye State. Kudos to Tom for acknowledging the greatness of the Easy Beats this morning. Yes, it's. It's on the double disc soundtrack for the movie Pirate Radio. Well, thank you very much. Great song. Millions of listeners. Two people had heard it, knew what he was talking. But I'm just educating them that they. Now we can go listen to our buddy. But you don't let us educate you on things. Yes, you don't. Like what? Like anything we're interested in. You mean. Okay, Josh, so teach me more about pornography. Some huge song songs. 1998. We all know it here. I don't know what that is. You're losing everyone. Yeah. Scissors. Next. Scissors. I quoted Chick McGee while skiing. You did what you say? I was waiting in line at chairlift number two at the Colorado. Oh, exactly. Big line there. Unfortunately. And there's a thing now, which, unfortunately, apparently, we're out of Snipers in Colorado, in which dudes mostly wear these backpacks that have gigantic stereos in them. What? Like, so they can listen to music. So they can listen to music while they're skiing. Really? Yeah. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah, but. So I'm in line and there are like 80 people in line because the lift keeps stopping or whatever, and this guy is wearing this backpack blasting What? I don't know what the term is these days. I would call it gangster rap. It was Will Smith. No, it was hardcore. Yeah, The N word. Constantly. Very hardcore. I thought utterly inappropriate. And I quoted Chick McGee and I said as loud as I could, I said, well, if this is playing here, what's playing in hell? Did it get a laugh? Yes, it got it. Yeah. And I was stunned because he wasn't a snowboarder. Oh. Oh, okay. So I had to laugh. So he was only a lesser human being because of his taste in music. Yes. I ran across a story yesterday in Park City. Apparently the. I think they called them the Hoity Toity were all upset because the chairlift lines were two to three hours long and they were not having it. Two to three hours? That's too much. They showed it. It was crazy. You saw that, too. I mean, they were just winding. Just all waiting to get on $20,000 on a ski vacation. Oh, I'd be furious. No, the longest was maybe 15 minutes. Oh, no, they were hours. That's awful. Speaking of music in public, has anyone else noticed that people now just listen to their phone, like, music out, like shopping at the grocery store, more and more loud, or they're just having a phone conversation walking down the aisle. Yeah. Then me and Jenny, we went to the. On speaker. Yeah. I have a comment about this that I can't make. I know exactly what you're thinking, too. I kind of. It's a truism, you know, the phone call stuff doesn't bother me that much. It bothers me when they're trying to check out. Yes. And the. And the poor clerk working their ass off checking people out, and they don't realize that, oh, Matilda's talking to Sylvia, not to me. Yeah. Yeah. I just witnessed this. That's bad. Don't do it when you're checking out. Rude. Yeah. But when you're in an aisle, I kind of get it. Well, especially if it's, you know, a mom and she's got to talk to someone. It bothered me. I realized I was like, you know what? Maybe I'm just getting Old because, like, if two people were walking next to each other having a conversation in the aisle, it wouldn't bother me at all. Yeah. But the fact they're on the phone makes me furious. I. I don't do it and I wouldn't do it. But it's also. Are you getting what I'm getting, which is the speed? It's a speakerphone. Yes. More and more they're walking through Kroger and just having a conversation. She's talking to her. It's not like it's a phone. That's. I guess that's my bigger question. When I'm on the phone, I'm in private a. I. And if I'm out at the grocery store, I would never answer the phone, you know? Although I have to say, I have called from the grocery store before, unlike FaceTime all the time showing which one do we need? I see that a lot. And it's usually mentioned. Yeah. Hey, you know, Josh, I'm in the aisle. There are 40 different kinds of ranch dressing. Yeah, yeah. If a woman buys the wrong thing, you know, the hidden man, you know. But Jeff is right, though. Being mad about the phone is an old age thing. Get off your phone is the new. Get off my lawn. Yeah, absolutely. That's how I feel. That's true. I'm like, every time I'm mad at it, I think it's the fact that people, they. They're having some boring conversation with, you know, their sister. Yeah. Out loud while walking around not paying attention. You don't think that the conversation they're having has any. No, it's not. This isn't some physic. Well, we. We've. We found the serum. We're having it helicoptered into Kokomo for you. The child will live. You know, the problem is I'm a. I'm a grocery store hummer slash whistler slash singer. Ah. Yeah. So are. You're the grocery store Hummer. Huh? Hey, look, there's a guy in aisle three. 70 bucks. I heard. I call my mouth my coupon book. The grocery store Hummer. That will be a movie. I've got a. You know, with my shopping. Do you ever do the I am that guy? Yes. Are you the guy that I will occasionally put my left foot on the bar and slide with and steer the cart in the parking lot? Only for me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But you still to this. It's kind of a kid like. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, I still do it in the parking lot. Yeah. I'll get. I'll get Some. I'll get some motion going, but I'm not doing the store. And just, you know, I don't. I don't need to. Boy, did you see that guy tip over and knock the orange kiosk down? I can't believe he was in produce with all that butter in his cartoon. Oh, man. All that butter. You know me. I've never understood. We do those super bowl stories every year. You know, this many pounds of potato chips were sold and this many wings. They never measure the sticks of butter. No, never. I eat them like carrots. New Year's resolution really went out the window, didn't. Were you going to be nicer to Josh? Yes. I'm sorry. I'm very sorry. By the way, that's been his New Year's resolution the last six years. I keep failing. It's like people that can't quit smoking. It happens. It's only day eight, and he didn't even see me until day six. But you're right, Jeff. That is. That's a thing now. The talking and the phone. Yeah, well, it made me mad. And then I was like, I. I think I'm just getting old and out of touch, and I just need to chill. Like. Just said, it's rude. It is. It's kind of. Everybody thinks they live in their. Everything is all about them, and it's all. This is me. And everybody has to deal with it, and it's just kind of rude. I don't. It's not that rude, really. It's rude when they're trying to check out. It's not rude if they're in the aisle. Just. Just shopping and talking. Who cares? You want to hear about somebody else's? I don't have to hear about it. Well, and that's what. It finally dawned on me. I was like, if they were talking to another person that was there next to them, I would still hear their conversation, and that wouldn't bother me. And then I'd be nosy. I'd want to know, oh, yeah, I'd follow what's going on. Let strangers control my emotions or how I feel throughout the day. Well, don't give them that.
