In this episode of Big Blend Radio's “A Toast to The Arts” Show, we're joined by award-winning writer Karen F. Uhlmann who discusses her powerful debut novel, "Intersections," releasing May 6, 2025, through She Writes Press. Based on a true story, "Intersections" explores themes of guilt, grief, and moral dilemma through the lives of two strangers connected by a tragic hit-and-run accident. When suspended police officer Ed Kelly and fashion influencer Charlotte Oakes witness the same fatal crash that kills a young child, their lives begin to intertwine at the scene of the crime. As Ed searches for the truth, Charlotte harbors a chilling secret: she suspects her own daughter may be the driver responsible. The novel builds toward a riveting decision—will Charlotte protect her child, or do what's right? Karen shares the inspiration behind "Intersections," her writing journey, and how real-life events helped shape the emotional depth of this suspenseful, character-driven literary fiction. Karen holds an MFA in fiction from Bennington and has earned prestigious accolades including the 2016 Rick Bass/Montana Prize for Fiction and the 2012 Northern Colorado Writers Award. Her work has appeared in respected literary journals such as Southern Indiana Review, Story, Whitefish Review, and The Common. She was recently shortlisted for the 2024 Lascaux Fiction Prize.

Both of these clips were taken from Unravelling the Universe interviews that were recorded and published before The Telepathy Tapes was released.

If you love The Grateful Dead, Cannabis, and Psychedelic experiences, you should enjoy Bob, Ed, and Andrew talking about what may be the Greatest Concert On Earth. I talked my son Andrew into a Dead and Company Show at the Sphere last week. Now we are both Deadheads, and I have purchased tickets to 3 more upcoming shows. In all that amounts to 16 1/2 hours of seeing a band I was never that interested in. Big Surprises: How “Young” the audience is. This is not a Classic Rock show. The cult like following includes young (and very attractive) modern day hippies. John Mayer is a guitarist for the ages. Dead and Company don't repeat songs for 3 nights, meaning it's a 10 hour concert, which you binge over 3 days. Day of tickets on Saturday night scalped for up to $4,000.00. AND THEY ALL SOLD. Take that Taylor Swift. You may see Dead & Co at another venue, but The Sphere is the only fully immersive performance venue of it's kind. This is not hype. You can see photos and videos, but until you experience it in person, you will not get it. Listening to the audio on Podcast Service?

Special Guest, Pro Musician, Comic, and amazing personality Chace McNinch. Thank you to my inspirational and kind niece JodyLynn, who spotted Chace performing in Montana. Chace happens to be Trans. Does that make you uncomfortable? I hope you will find her gentle sarcasm and acceptance of all people to be both inspired and contagious. If you believe identity politics is a load of crap that will be easy. Her story about a memorable encounter with Steven Tyler is hilarious. Standing up to a rock star was bold!

We're back after a few months of Bob getting medical attention. So much to catch up on with Zip and Ed. Bob admits that he's never known a Trans person, and we decide that's going to change (.. In Part 2!) If Joe Biden were smart, he'd go on Howard Stern every week, and make John Stewart his campaign manager. If not, get used to Trump: The Sequel. The coolest new style of movie might just be the Netflix series “Ripley”. Vinyl has come back, why not Black and White video? Watch and be surprised how much you love it. A rigorous discussion of AI includes the threat of copyrighted works being plundered, along with very real cool advances that will alter our world perhaps as much as the internet has.

The Jury system is one that is used all across the globe. A selection of every day men and women like you and I tasked with the job of coming to a decision of innocence or guilt. Lay people who most of the time have little or no knowledge of the law.As a group they are thrown together, each with their own biases, feelings and personalities, they must work together to find a verdict. We all see them sitting at their seats in the courtroom, watch as they take notes and listen to the evidence but what we don't see is what goes one behind closed doors, what discussions are being had, how certain personalities control the room, until now!The Jury Murder Trial is a fantastic show from the UK that has come up with a unique social experiment to not only try and uncover and understand the dynamics inside a jury room but also to see if two separate jury's hearing the same evidence will come to the same conclusion.One of the shows creators Ed Kelly sat down with me to talk about how this all came about and what reaction they've had since the show has aired.

Bob and Pete were 17 and 19 years old. If you remember top 40 radio, when we were kids, you might enjoy the behind the scenes story of 2 teenage best friends breaking a few rules and helping to create a radio station that's still a success today. They started working together just out of high school. Bob went on to a lifelong career hosting mornings. Pete Salant launched a #1 station in New York City, and became one of the top programming consultants in the country. Along with Ed Kelly, we reminisce, but also celebrate the talent of today.

Drew and Bob interview each other in this special edition of Bob and Zip w/Ed Kelly. In part, for the industry voters in the 2023 Radio Hall Of Fame. Read Bob's Bio, at bobrivers.com (https://bobrivers.com) Drew (https://www.youtube.com/@DrewandMikeShow) asks the follow up questions. Yes, Bob was Nude in one of these fables. And the true story is publicly told here for the first time. Yes, Bob and Zip were courted big time by major markets. Why Zip wouldn't leave, and Bob, who is a huge fan of fellow nominee Charles Laquidera, may have benefitted from competitor WBCN trying to get the show moved away from Boston. Just hearsay, mind you… but at least 3 Infinity Radio stations (Infinity owned WBCN) came a calling. Who is Drew Lane? Only one of the most successful morning show hosts in America. He was Bob's successor at WAAF/Boston (former KISW sister station) His 23 year reign as the #1 morning show on WRIF Detroit never skipped a beat.

Tonight we go deep on what kind of podcast we want to do. More intimate, honest and hopefully uplifting. Less current events. Not none, but less. …Because these days a current event is stale in a day or two. And the ones that stay topical are aimed at the reptilian brain. We reveal the author of the quote: A lie gets halfway around the world before “The Truth Gets Its Pants On”. Bob and Zip, with Ed Kelly, Web Guru David Lee, and special guest Spike O'Neill take you backstage with some candid backstory on how we got here. Bob has just finished a book that changed his life. The “War of Art” by Steve Pressfield. He's on our guest wish list but you should just buy the book and read it. Zip and Ed never married or had kids. Did they have more freedom? Bob and Spike try to make them cry. Ed comes close. Listening to the audio on Podcast Service?

A software veteran, pilot, and the 'true story' basis of a movie in development, Chuck Opperman has seen it all and is our special guest in this episode of The Truth Gets It's Pants On. We dig with stories about the past, present, and future of technology. AI is cute now. An interesting tool. How are you using it? Will it kill jobs? Will it increase productivity? Does it infringe on intellectual property? Will we be overtaken by the Borg? Is it too late or too difficult to regulate? Listening to the audio on Podcast Service?

A quote from Enders Game. “There is no teacher but the enemy. No one but the enemy will tell you what the enemy is going to do. No one but the enemy will ever teach you how to destroy and conquer. Only the enemy show you where you are weak. Only the enemy shows you where he is strong. And the rules of the game are what you can do to him and what you can stop him from doing to you. – Mazer Rackham” It's similar to The Art of War. Think about what it means and how we can apply it in our modern lives. Dr. John Medina had to say: Wow. Interesting quote. Did you ever read "The Art of War"? Sun Tzu, written about the time the ancient Israelites were getting their butts kicked by the Assyrians. Favorite line:“If you know the enemy and you know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles." Interesting to contrast this with you Rackham quote. If you juxtapose those two philosophical quotes, you get the secret to success. The Wall Street Journal. The conservative paper of record, just caved on immigration. AI Wants to be regulated!!! Why?

We will make every possible effort to go deep, staying away from hackneyed talking points. If you hear one, call us out on it! Let's admit to all the lies we all swallow…. How the continuing thirst for click bait and fame has lowered our standards to previously unthinkable low levels of honesty. Wait, you think it's only other people who are brainwashed? Zip always looks on the bright side of life. After years of paying in, he's finally costing Medicare real money. So cool! Donald found liable for sexual assault that happened we're not sure when, and ordered to pay millions. Are we starting to see enforcement of laws on the rich and powerful? Don't bet too much on it. Look for a settlement while it's on appeal. Billionaires only get speeding tickets. If West Wing and Homeland had a baby it would be this new Netflix series called “The Diplomat”.

Bob has Listened to some AI Music. Even though a large record company wants to outlaw it… they have nothing to worry about. It totally sucks. And we will all gloat over the almost 800 Billion Dollar speeding ticket that Rupert Murdock had to pay this week. If you watch FOX news, you may have missed the story.

Gee, anything interesting going on in the news? The Trump indictment is unfortunately just the oxygen that the media loves to devour. Bob puts forth the "Tinder, Kindling and Windbag" theory of why we are about to once again be deluged with all Trump all the time. Bob notes the similarities between the WWE and the Christians and the Lions! Which Game of Thrones character does Trump resemble most? Bob confesses to being sucked into short clips of provocative questions. His Catholic guilt kicks in. Should there be an online confessional? Starbucks, McDonalds, The Airlines, and Hotels are all ruining their loyalty programs with shrinkflation. Bob gets some good news from the doctor during the show, he takes the call live.

A major announcement by Spotify that couldn't be worse. Instead of giving real people access to the platform to be influencers and curators of music, they announce their new AI DJ. It is so bad, we mock it mercilessly. Can AI do that? Bob Rivers, Zip Zipfel, and Ed Kelly… with special guests Spike O'Neill, Shawn Alexander, and Comedian; Andrew Rivers (@andrewjrivers). The failure of Silicon Valley Bank could lead to contagion. No matter how much you hate seeing rich people bailed out, it has to happen. Blame the banks, blame the regulators, but don't forget the Fed has been trying to “break” something by skyrocketing interest rates. Shawn Alexander's family owned banks made him quite familiar with this “game” that is played with real money. Andrew Rivers has taken a 5 day break from Cannabis… which leads to a little frank father son dialogue about moderation and addiction. We're just scratching the surface. Dad uses and has used Cannabis again for neuropathy, nausea, etc. That's medical, but admittedly a gummy makes music sound incredible. So what's moderation? When do you cross the line and become a Stoner? I suspect part 2 of this discussion is coming next week. Tyson Chicken is closing factories, because of low profit margins. We're all worried this will affect our god given right to “cheap eats”. Can you imagine Eminem doing a rap about cats? We'll help you with that. Listening to the audio on Podcast Service?

Triple-Crown Hiker, Tami Asars, joins us as our special guest to share media, highlights and experiences while hiking the Continental Divide Trail…(Great photos.. we see we need to work on our video-streaming ops)… We remind all again that we'll soon stop streaming to Facebook and stream exclusively to YouTube. (No hard feelings, Mark, but we ain't feeling the love). Zip, as are much of the public, is infatuated with the Murdaugh trial. Could the interest in the story be due to the potential for a Netflix series? 'Dude- where's my car?' Spike's got thoughts on some Ford patents, innovations and features we'll probably see in cars/trucks in the very near-future. Bob's syrup-making friend was scrolling through short videos on his phone and showed a video of an alligator crawling through a wrought iron fence. Was cocaine-gator legit? Though initially deciding not to see Bruce Springsteen in concert per the high ticket prices and the less-than impressive tv performances seen of late, Spike & co decided to go after all. He talks about the concert, Springsteen's strong vocals, perfect backup harmonies, and his return to lead guitar playing…. The show includes seven encores, with the band leaving and returning for six of them. Bruce did a solo seventh/final encore. Spike says it's the best Springsteen show he has ever seen. Confused about Medicare? Other than the few younger folks who'll stop play at this segment, does anyone fully grasp all the programs, provisions.. parts xyz?

What a contrast from Las Vegas to the small town of Homer Simpson (True Fact) Despite some choppy faces, audio ins-outs ups-downs, echos… Ed only managing to make his appearance via a single comment… Zip finally getting his dial-up modem connected in the last 15 minutes - and damn-near abandoning the Livestream altogether - we powered thru to present the good, bad & the f'ugly. Is your livelihood endangered by AI? Will we all be replaced by Mr Roboto? Major League Baseball is implementing timers for pitchers and batters to pick up the pace. Is baseball falling victim to this "TIK TOK world" of short attention spans? Is there enough diversity within the Bob and Zip Podcast? Is there any female or minority willing to work with us? Spike is going to see Bruce Springsteen tonight! Will this be the last time? Spike shares just how much impact Bruce has had in his world. Luciana Bartes drops-in to share the latest with her and Pedro, diversity & Conservative Christian Radio. Bob adds his thoughts about 'old white men' N5FW ish - Bob gets TMI about sexy-time
A 'Bob, Spike & Joe' announcement, The Valley of Fire, The Pandemic is still messing things up, Ed is a movie star, Maple Syrup Update, Lisa scares the crap out of Bob! Is it the 'end of the internet' as we know it today? The Supreme Court is set to hear oral arguments this week in two cases regarding Section 230 that could forever and profoundly alter online speech and content moderation. Bob and Lisa took a short road trip to Valley Of Fire. Lisa drove. Bob is a terrible driver, but he's only the 2nd worst driver in this marriage. How can anyone who can drive with their knees, eat, surf the web, and make videos in a moving vehicle say their husband scares them when he drives? Ed Kelly is a Film Star. The life of a voice actor turned film actor. Auditions! Attorney Shawn Alexander and Bob update you on Mark, our friend who wants to be back on the grid, and come clean with the IRS. And: Things the pandemic is still doing to us! Dr Laura still on the air. Still a ruthless bitch. Zip Zipfel is fascinated that can be easily swayed, regardless of facts. He watches a lot of crime shows, and even if there's a video tape of them committing a crime, a great attorney can create doubt. People who are obviously guilty are getting off, regardless of facts and evidence. How does this happen. A question for Shawn. We're all dealing with death. Does that mean we're old, or is there more death? Spoiler alert. We're old. How to handle it.

The guaranteed fool proof way to lose an argument. Every time. Do this and you will fail. Hint. Avoid these phrases: You never! You always! You should! Bob and Lisa drive 500 miles to see the grandkids, and eat at a Chilis for the first time in their lives. A great waitress can make a so so restaurant magical. Zip talks about things that used to be illegal. You know, like Pot and Gambling. Are these changes good? What else is illegal that could be legalized? Ed Kelley met a lady in a thrift store. She approaches him with a French copy of some movie, and I realize that Liam Neeson is on the front and she says is anyone ever told you that you look just like this guy? Back spasms. Why do they come out of nowhere and seem to hit 40 year olds the hardest? Spike talks about how creativity won the day in SuperBowl commercials. And what would Jesus say about living in the modern world? Would he love paying 7 million dollars for a 30 second plug? Also, what if your iPhone was not made by Apple. Plus Special Guests Andrew Rivers (@andrewjrivers) and Adam Brenner (aka Adam Bomb) - International Guitar Hero. He's touring the US ad Europe ad has a string of upcoming shows in Seattle.

Special Guest Downtown Joe Bryant tells the story of ChatGPT from the point of view of a High School teacher! Will he be replaced by a Kiosk? Or will it be a useful tool? Joe is diving in. The Power of Love. It's not just a Huey Lewis hit. What can we do to make the world a better place? Are we making the most of our time? Bob thinks a lot about this, as he is in Cancer remission, at least for the moment. The next chapter of "Our Friend Mark", who is trying to get right by the IRS. An accountant in our audience named Jeremy Saladino*, helps people in this situation. He offers more tips on going legit. If you know anyone off the grid economically, this story. Shawn Alexander chimes in from his legal perspectives. The Chinese Balloon. US surrounds China with War Machinery while freaking out about balloons.“A big Chinese balloon in the sky and millions of Chinese TikTok balloons on our phones,” tweeted Senator Mitt Romney. “Let's shut them all down.” Hmm. Wouldn't we be just like China if we wanted a closed internet? And why am I supposed to think of China as an enemy? Is it just Bid-Ness? Plus… Spike O'Neill floats a couple Chinese-balloon-inspired Twisted Tune ideas… We ask ChatGPT some important questions and learn who the 'most famous Bob Rivers in the world' is… and we can now see more of Zip's mug! We close with a classic 'Spike & The Impalers' performance of 'Guns & Roses/Paradise City', featuring Kaci Aitchison on vocals!

What's the difference between executive function, and your lizard brain? Better known as the 'Reptilian Brain', responsible for the "4-F's" of primal responses to stimuli -- Fight, Flight, Food and Fornication. (The 4-F's have been debated over the years.. we're sticking with the above for purposes here) About Rush Limbaugh, his style, his brain and how he captivated reptilian brains. Of course, Ed Kelly flexes his best Rush impression muscles.. and many others. Did the Internet kill the radio star? Maybe, but Bob knows how to bring the radio star back to life. It's a billion-dollar idea he was pitching to Apple years ago. He's giving it away here, for free! (You're welcome, Spotify) Also, Eddie Van Halen's brain, dementia, mental challenges, and more.

Comedian Kermet Apio checks in. He and Bob figure they were born in the same hospital. Why no one cares about classified documents, and how to prevent this problem from ever happening again. Why you should consider all news suspect. Held over from last week: Executive Function vs Your Lizard Brain. Should gas stoves be outlawed? Spike drops in.. and Ed Kelly has a moral dilemma. Emily in Paris is not aimed at my demo, but Lisa and I are enjoying it. Listening on Podcast service and want to see the video?

Special guests Spike O'Neill & Joe Bryant, and Shawn Alexander. Bob is experiencing the effects of a Bomb Cyclone and Atmospheric River in Malibu Canyon. Zip is in love with the Facebook Whistleblower: Frances Haugen. She says Facebook is "scared". And she has advice for Elon Musk. Spike and Joe are special guests once again.. Joe is playing with OpenAI/ChatGPT, New Years' Resolutions. Seattle School District suing Social Media. And female M&M's? What is "Executive Function" and why is it the enemy of your Lizard Brain? Positive Law with Shawn Alexander. We update you on our "off the grid" friend Mark, and try to help a struggling small business cope with live music. We're taken aback by the pro drumming skills of (then) 8 year-old @yoyoka_soma in her 'breakout' video covering Led Zeppelin's 'Good Times, Bad Times'. Bob hopes to meet her, learning she and her family have moved to Las Vegas.
Special Guests: Joe Bryant, Spike O'Neill, and Jeff Kathan. We remember a great broadcaster and friend, Dori Monson. Stealing Dave Barry's humor. Get ready for the RichCession. Bob has a big announcement about Vermont. Zip has an infectious laugh, but that's not all. **Listening on a non-video platform?

Flipping parent/child roles, new Twisted Christmas Tune(?), Spike gets mushy @ Christmas and riled-up on Santos... and Andrew's flowing locks are just too damn pretty
Argentina is the happiest place on Earth. Pedro and Luciana Bartes join us live from Argentina, where they are drinking heavily and waving flags to celebrate the World Cup victory. We celebrate their US Citizenship, Livestream #4 shows off Ed Kelly's podcast studio set- and to see him do his voices adds a new dimension. Songs we could never do today. Spike talks about how being woke would have negated much of our classic humor. He also rants about being called a Libtard. I think he embraces it as much as my electrician Steve loved being a Deplorable. Interesting how insults lose their power when you “take back the word” and wear it as a badge of honor. This week we add a new segment, Positive Law. It features attorney Shawn Alexander and a listener (anonymous- fake name) who has been off the tax grid for 15 years and wants to get come clean and get his taxes filed. Beginning with our next livestream, everyone on our email list gets a notification of the start time of each livestream. Sign up at bobrivers.com If you wish to be a VIP, and have access to exclusives, and a hotline to the show, viscosity Patreon.com/bobrivers On the audio podcast, we close with a Twisted Tune written and performed by our handi-capable listeners - we could not probably make it today. Plus a few Twisted Christmas classics. Bob guests on 77 WABC New York to talk about Twisted Christmas, we reminisce about Rush Limbaugh, who was a huge fan:
We are all getting used to the new web interface (and seeing each other's faces too). Bob and Zip start the show live from the big island of Hawaii and Worcester, MA. Ed Kelly and Spike O'Neill soon join in from Detroit and Seattle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJeVBWfuFvk Ed Kelly is making a killing this Holiday Season, in costume. But he's no mall Santa- He's the Grinch! It's a serious costume (like being an alien in a Star Wars movie). Yes, there is an active volcano erupting, and it's not far from Bob… he can see it on his way to Starbucks. But there are bigger ash holes on television news, and Bob found himself sucked into live coverage of the Georgia Senate runoff. We start to talk about the “Fake” drama we're subjected to in media land, where everything is an emergency and the population is divided just about neatly 50-50. Could it be that we're being manipulated? Spike is having none of it, his side is right, and the other side is immoral. Remember when you cut the cord, to stop seeing commercials and pay for just the TV channels you needed? Well, the more things change, the more they end up exactly the same. Now most premium streamers are running commercials, with tiered pricing… and they are “bundling”. So it's going to end up like having 4 cable subscriptions! Bob has been watching Fox News and using Twitter, something no one else on the show will do, since they all love their echo chambers. Guess who he's following? The preceding paragraph has been a blatant example of “trolling”. Andrew Rivers hops on to visit with his very long hair. Dad tries to bait him with how tough it is to be a white male in comedy. Andrew artfully dodges that land mine. His revenge is when he explains to his Dad that the “Twin Peaks” Restaurant that he and Mom wandered into in Nevada has nothing to do with the ancient TV show shot in North Bend, WA. We close the podcast with a very tacky Twisted Tune about a restaurant similar to Twin Peaks. Now that we're streaming live, listeners get to comment in real time (or you can still use email to show@bobandzip.com). Coming soon: listeners video calling in live. Dev Note: We're not yet pushing video episodes to the Podcast distribution services, as we've still a couple issues to work out. Regardless, you can find this and all future Livestream/video episodes on YouTube, at https://www.youtube.com/@BobRiversshow under 'Videos' or the 'Live' tabs. Be sure and subscribe ;)
Tami Asars has finished the triple crown of long distance hiking, having just completed the Appalachian Trail (2,194.3 miles). She's also hiked The Pacific Crest Trail (2,650 miles), and the Continental Divide Trail (3,100 miles). Spike compares her to Forrest Gump, which believe it or not, is high praise from him! We review the number one lesson to be learned in the outdoors (spoiler alert: Delayed Gratification).. What is your Lizard Brain, and why do Political Ads only appeal to your primitive emotions? Bob recommends a brilliant book written by noted UW neurobiologist John Medina: Brain Rules for Work: the science of thinking smarter in the office and at home. Only buy this if you want to make your Lizard Brain nervous. Why Bob has always preferred Jay Leno over other late night TV hosts. (We wish him a speedy recovery). Zip, Bob and Spike all loved someone the media loved to hate this week. What everyone got wrong about Dave Chappelle's SNL monologue. Bob has decided to embrace “both-sides-ism”, which is saying "both sides lie" when one side lies prolifically and shamelessly and the other side tells smaller lies. It's a crazy idea of course. Saying all lies need to be pointed out. It is clearly why Bob has no friends. We talk about "Nuance", and why many people lack the ability to detect it. Zip defines it perfectly, and this sends Spike into a comedic frenzy. We close with a song dedicated to Tami Asars.
Is Fox News throwing Donald Trump under the bus and then running over him repeatedly? And how is it that we are all so neatly divided into 49 point something percent against 49 point something percent? And why are we unable to vote electronically? Literally the entire world's banking is done that way? Bob and Lisa boycotted live television this week, watching a buzz worthy series on Apple TV. We buy more and more things online, sight unseen. Like furniture. Bob and Lisa picked out something online that looked "great" in the photos. Some of you who've tried online dating know how the photo can be misleading. Bob also has a confession, something he feels pretty guilty about. Ed Kelly gets a different kid of acting gig. He might be putting Santa out of business. We close with Blue Oyster Cult recorded in Bob's Garage in the early 90's.
Elon Musk might just know what he's doing with Twitter. Canada freezes gun sales, so do we care? Starbucks is the McDonalds of Coffee. Amazon has a new season of the popular show Bosch, with a twist. It has commercials! Bob is surprised that he and Lisa don't mind. Are commercials the future of streaming tv? Ed reminisces about his stay at Casa De Rivers. Why Bob and Lisa moved to Las Vegas, and why they love it. If you label something as milk, should it come from something that has teats? Zip warns us to look out for Javelinas. Spike has paid rent on a storage unit for a million years. They finally got rid of it, sort of. We close with a rare recording: Randy Bachman playing 'Taking Care of Business' live in Bob's Garage.
Why do some people get their panties in a bunch over drag performers? Spike wants to untwist them for you. Tami Asars has completed about 1,800 miles of the 2,200 mile Appalachian trail, and is she getting tired? Ed gets stranded at an airport. Does his version of events sound plausible? We're taking an informal poll. Some people don't respond well to text. Not mentioning any names, Zip. Algorithms and Data collection are sometimes wonderful, but remember they are a business model… Is Bob paranoid or are they really out to get you (to buy shit)? We close with a Twisted Tune written largely by Spike, and a song about a puppy that made Bob happy during difficult times.
This week's show is really the Spike and Ed show, while Bob and Zip are entertained. Spike riffs with Ed Kelly's character impressions. You'll be convinced we know Sam Elliot. Spike loves confessing that he burned his childhood home to the ground, and his therapist says that explains a lot. Bob tries to figure out why he and Lisa are nomads, having moved into their 10th home in 40 years. Turns out we are all listening to deep album cuts these days, thanks to on-demand playlists, and rediscovering great songs we've forgotten is one of the benefits. Bob hears a Jethro Tull song that sounds remarkably like one of the Eagles biggest hits. Did the Eagles steal Hotel California? As the show closes, Zip wonders why misinformation is so readily believed. A fairly serious discussion. Comedian Bo Burnham explains how the world works. Buy his album! It's pure genius.
