Episode 50 ★ Fine Debu

This episode was brought to you by our executive producer NetNed and the wonderful support of nodebit.  

Louisiana, New Mexico, and Massachusetts reported 33 COVID deaths this past week. 33-year-old R&B singer Jeremih is out of ICU after coming down with the ‘VID, and some folks are upset that 33% of the American population didn’t vote. 

Missouri announced its own vaccine website now, and Fauci says Santa can’t catch COVID. People can now use their own cells to grow “steaks” in the name of art, and a glowing green liquid oozed out of a Toronto sinkhole, but the good news isseason nine of Letterkenny premieres December 26! Oh, and Green Wednesday is tomorrow for those in “legal” states. We know it’s a recession resistant industry. Heck, Maine just made $1.4 million in its first month of recreational sales. But of course, nothing will truly be legal until the federal scheduling classifications are removed. And until then, medical users can still be terminated from their jobs after pissing dirty for workers’ comp docs. Get on those opioids, slave.

 

There are now lawsuits opposing the legalization initiatives that passed in Arizona, Mississippi, Montana, and South Dakota on election day. In one case, a taxpayer-funded entity is battling the state, another taxpayer funded entity, in a battle for and against something the taxpayers backed. 

The Rockefeller Plaza Christmas tree looks kind of sad this year. Turns out,
it had a baby owl still living in it when they transported it! In other Christmas tree news, someone decked one out withToy Story decorations and one Massachusetts resident decided to decorate potholes with them.

Brazilian dudes are riding unicycle broomsticks to the coffee shop while the Japanese are fending off bears with robot wolves. In Turkey, someone won a Guinness record for their 25-foot balloon dinosaur sculpture and a New Hampshire doggo lost in St. Louis found its way home a year later. Oh, and that seawood-covered body that washed up on a Florida beach?It was a store mannequin.

Our First Time I Ever topic this week was seeing the outline of the moon’s unlit part. Guess who was the oldest to see that for the first time? Phoneboy inspired next week’s FTIE: the First Time I Ever saw an eclipse! Leave us a voicemail, shoot us a text, and say whatever the hell you want at (816) 607-3663!

Episode 49 ★ Deep Pop Oakridge

Happy birthday to our nine-year-old doggo, Murphy! We have the best producers to celebrate. Dowodenum comes in as executive producer for this episode and @one made the fabulous SirSpencer art for today’s episode!

In Kansas City, a 29-year-old woman was killed trying to get her car towed, Goodwill employees are working alongside robots, and a 33-year-old man was charged with shooting a nine-year-old. Vaccine-supportive narratives are making the rounds and there is even a bus where you can hop on and become a vaccine guinea pig! Not to mention new COVID guidelines requiring bars to close at 10:00 p.m. while limiting their capacity to 50% were released on this show day. 

Other instances of magic number 33 in the headlines:
33 COVID deaths in Kentucky
Lil NAS X’s Roblox concert attracted 33 million views

Laurien brings up the recent events in “consequence-free zones” like Washington, D.C. and falls down the abortion rabbit hole because of a budget amendment that passed the Massachusetts House. Originally, it was written to allow girls 12 years and older to get an abortion without a parent’s permission. A British soap opera now features a character aborting a baby after finding out it may have Down’s Syndrome, but remember: an actor with Down’s Syndrome, John Franklin Stephens, told the UN, “My life is worth living.”

 
In weed news…
A California judge heard a delivery case and has yet to make a decision.
Colorado weed sales are up despite the lack of tourism, and $2.5 million in restitution was just granted to four investors in a pot fraud case.

A Michigan company is expanding into four states, including Missouri. A panel in New Mexico supports increasing the medical purchase limit. The New Jersey decriminalization bill will not be heard as the state waits for legal sales to begin and the Virginia governor is now calling to pass a legalization bill in 2021.

Across the border in Canada, a bunch of oil was recalled after incorrectly being labeled for inhalation instead of ingestion. 

Behind the curtain, we laugh about Scott Adams now being a controversial White House pandemic advisor and dig into ex-CIA  officer Robert Steele’s video in which he says, “make a deal, motherfucker, or you are going to die.” HIGH ENERGY!

Our FTIE topic for tonight was the first time I ever realized the government lied to us, and we heard from lots of folks via voicemail and text. Next week, we invite you to call or text us at (816) 607-3663 and tell us about the first time you ever saw the dark side of the moon in the sky.

Episode 48 ★ Smoking a Bowl, Sir

Posted on by Spencer

The only winner announced for the 2020 election thus far is WEED! South Dakota became the first state to approve medical and recreational cannabis measures at the same time.

 D.C. decriminalized psychedelics while Oregon became the first state to decriminalize all the drugs.

 

Remember the “glitch” that switched 6,000 votes from Antrim County, Michigan from Trump to Biden? Just so happened to be 33% of the total votes. In the hotly contested state of Pennsylvania, a homeless mother was forced to dig up a 33-year-old law to keep her kids in school. And lastly, have you ever heard that financial awakening occurs at age 33? Now you have!

 

We went behind the curtain to hear about the third largest diamond dug up in Arkansas this year, two kayakers who ended up in the mouth of a whale, anda dad who got a tattoo for his “six little turds.”

Hmm. We hear from several callers about the first time they ever saw with glasses and decided our FTIE topic next week will be the first time I ever realized the government lied to us.

Episode 47 ★ Erection Day

Freshly packed bowl for Election Day 2020! Which old stiff will be the president? Sources have mixed predictions! We discuss our voting experience, our time hanging out on a couple video streams with the No Agenda clan, and recap our recent No Agenda Halloween Meetup. Shout out to Sir Paul the Book Guy, Sir Seatsitter, Dame Jennifer, Nick the Rat, and the whole clan at the No Agenda jit.si room!

Speaking of Halloween, we also have a great Trick-or-Treat retelling, as Laurien hand-made costumes again for the girls. They went as Bingo and Bluey, cartoon pups from a kid’s show out of Australia. We got a taste of Halloween and the various COVID precautions all across the spectrum that people adopted throughout the neighborhood.

Our Top Three 33 Stories this week:
The US economy grew a record 33.1% annual rate last quarter

 
The results on various weed legalization ballot measures are still being calculated, so we will have those official tallies next week, However, we did catch up on some weed news items, including:
 
This week’s #FTIE was “First time I ever won 1st place at something.” Next week we’ll talk about the First Time I Ever saw clearly with glasses (or contacts). Call 816-607-3663 and tell us your story!!
