John Fletcher and Carolyn Blaney join us in the bowl for our first episode of Bowls with Buds!
Author: Spencer
Huge THANK YOU AND MERRY CHRISTMAS to executive producers Farmer Todd and NetNed who brought this episode to you! Also, thank you Nodebit for making this podcast possible.
Christmas celebrations abound in the bowl as we share stories from our first family get together, reindeer visits during the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction/Christmas Star, and clips from our toddlers’ unofficial holiday album.
After a holiday hiatus, the next No Agenda meetup is in the works to support local Johnson County business Don Chilito’s whose owner refuses to commit business suicide and put up a sign saying, “Masks not required.” And we should mention that our first episode of Bowls with Buds is coming up on Saturday, December 26th with none other than Hog Story’s Fletcher and Carolyn. Bowl After Bowl would not have resurrected without them.
A dipping sauce dispute in St. Louis led to an employee being shot. We’ve been hangry, but not that hangry. There’s a group in Kansas City reminding folks to smoke their tires, not their homies. I mean,an American already dies every 33 seconds anyway. Probably not from COVID, though.
Johnny Depp’s ex is doing domestic violencespeaking gigs for $33,000 each and Wellington the Penguin turned 33 years old with a livestreamed celebration in Chicago.
Trump said he will veto the 5,000-plus COVID relief bill which, among a heap of other random things, amends a federal law from 1998 mandating anyone applying for student aid todisclose any drug-related convictions and restores eligibility of the incarcerated to get Pell Grants.
Weed purchases on the book went up 67% in 2020 with Americans spending nearly $18 billion on the herb. Unfortunately, the Show-Me State won’t be catching up to Oklahoma’s record 2,392 licenses anytime soon since a judge just ruled against a challenge to cultivation licenses and scoring.
On the bowling lanes, masturbating accidentally saved this man’s life, a 4-year-old girl randomly mentions a “friend” who turned out to be a prisoner in the early 1900s, and we break down the 12 Days of Christmas costs in real life. Humbug Scrooge landlords in Washington say, “Merry Christmas,” to their tenants by sending them anenvelope with a postage stamp to send their rent money in. In England, commercials depict Santa dying of COVID or visiting houses in a hazmat suit. Luckily, Burger King made us laugh cry by putting a carol version of “Ding, Fries are Done” in their new COVID masked-up Christmas commercial.
We discuss the first time we ever listened to No Agenda and hear from quite a few producers about their experience getting hit in the mouth. Next time, our FTIE topic will be the first time you ever choked in front of everyone — as in totally embarrassed yourself in front of the class, on stage, etc. Can’t wait to hear from you!

The post office is in the news! Apparently this past week was the deadline for getting Christmas packages mailed on time. News to us. Then, a local worker was indicted for stealing mail and cashing citizens’ checks. They didn’t steal the COVID vaccine though — that arrived safely and was already shot into a Kansas City nurse.
No one was shot at the D.C. Stop the Steal rally, but 33 people were arrested. Another 33 people were ticketed in Ontario for private gatherings, and apparently 33% of Michigan restaurant operators think they’ll be closed in 6 months.
Richard DeLisi, a Florida cannabis prisoner serving a 90-year-sentence, was released this past week. His family racked up $330,000 in attorney fees and collect calls over the 31 years he served. The National Institute on Drug Abuse once again awarded a federal contract to the University of Missouri so they can grow weed for federal research. They have been the sole holder of the contract since 1968. Massachusetts dispensaries will be able to sell hemp now — but only from state licensed growers.
We got tons of great voicemails sharing first time I ever went camping stories and a few tales of the first time bowlers ever smoked a cigarette. Next week, our FTIE will be the first time I ever listened to No Agenda.
The magic number took the spotlight this week with 33 million Californians under lockdown and a 3-3 vote rejected a symbolic resolution affirming Biden as president-elect. Oh, and maybe you caught its appearance in this Georgia poll worker Ruby Freeman’s livestream.
In local news, a man was shot around 3:30 PM on a 3300 block. Then, a Kansas City TV anchor suggests COVID may cause erectile dysfunction and debunks infertility with an “expert” simply saying, “No.” Kansas City company CLOVR is the first in the state to be approved to bake edibles.
Lots of stoners jumping up and down after the MORE Act became the first decriminalization bill to pass a chamber of Congress. It slated to for a vote before Election Day, but COVID was deemed a higher priority. Funny thing is, COVID seems here to say with no resolution on a second stimulus check, so why schedule this vote now? Probably the same reason aliens are in the news: DISTRACTION.
Next year, the NBA may test players for the rona, but they won’t be testing for weed,and Colorado cities like Denver and Aurora may finally get a delivery system in place. They appear to be following in the footsteps of Massachusetts delivery system, with a six-year stipulation that licenses can only go to social equity applicants.
After getting shafted by the Supreme Court in 2020, Nebraska advocates have decided to take up two initiatives in 2022: medical and recreational, just like their neighbor South Dakota where both passed.
An Oregon doctor had his license revoked after telling rally attendees that he and his staff don’t wear masks. We debunk this recipe, suggesting it takes three cups of cum to make a baby and cheer on the Tennessee couple that broke a record after adopting and birthing a 28-year-old frozen embryo. A renovation team at the Roslyn Grist Mill in New York found a 1917 letter in a milk bottle with some coins. Did the Paw Patrol advent calendar include guns and grenades? Spoiler alert: no.
We hear from Boo-Bury and FarmerTodd about the first time they ever went camping and propose our FTIE for next week: first time I ever smoked cigarettes. SPOILER ALERT: Our first time I ever for 12/22 will be the first time I was ever a hospital patient. Yes, we got two birds stoned this week on our prompts. Now give us a call and share your story!

Thanksgiving break may be over, but we can still appreciate this Florida man who thawed his turkey out in the backyard pool. We had two Zoom calls too many but enjoyed the Mike Tyson v. Roy Jones Jr. fight this weekend. Lots to be thankful here in Kansas City though with an impending Super Bowl Baby Boom and Santa Claus arriving to town. Another mascot is getting nerfed, though, after 3,300 signatures were collected to change it. *ding ding ding*
The magic number showed up in other places, too. The Queen is bucking a 33-year-old traditionby spending Christmas in Windsor and the DOW is about to hit a33-year-old monthly high. Then, there were 33 Guatemalan children sent back to their native country despite a judge order forbidding ICE from returning them.
We discuss the latest presidential goings on and the politicization of Lisa Montgomery’s upcoming federal execution.On a lighter note, the Rockefeller Christmas tree owl is okay and returned to wilderness.
In weed news, the House is expected tovote on the MORE Act tomorrow while Michigan raked in $400 million in the first year of recreational sales. Arizona’s Prop 207took effect Monday, the same day that Massachusetts’ Cannabis Control Commission gave the green light on new regulations allowing for home delivery. And lastly, the UN may vote tosymbolically de-schedule weed this week.
You may have heard about the mysterious monoliths appearing and disappearing in Utah then showing up in Romania, but did you catch the story of the penis sculpture that mysteriously disappeared from a German mountainside?
You may have heard about the mysterious Utah/Romania monoliths, but now
a penis-shaped sculpture has disappeared.AFrench chef got a Guinness recordafter cooking up a pizza with 254 varieties of cheese anda woman went boozerk in a British Aldi.
We talk about the first time I ever saw an eclipse and next week, we’ll discuss the first time I ever went camping. Get your voicemails in meow (816) 607-3663.
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!
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.
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.
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.

We participated in a Live Fourcast of the Vice Presidential debate with Fletcher and Carolyn of Hog Story, we send in a steamy clip toGrumpy Old Bens to celebrate their 100th episode, Spencer took the girls up to Orrick for a play date with their best friend, and we had one helluva good time at Fun Farm in Kearney for Laurien’s birthday! We also give the bowlers updates on what we’ve been listening to on Audible, namely Doug Stanhope’s “No Encore for the Donkey” and Norm Macdonald’s “Based on a True Story: A Memoir.” Laurien and Spencer also recount their trip out to Bisbee to see Doug Stanhope film his “No Place Like Home” special and crash the Funhouse.
In weed news, The supreme court declined to hear Washington v. Barr, which sought to challenge the Schedule I status of cannabis at a federal level. Maine opened for recreational weed sales last Friday the 9th, selling nearly $100,000 worth of product on opening day. Pabst is entering the cannabis-infused drink space, and the State of California has destroyed 1.1 million pot plants in its annual marijuana eradication efforts this year.
We go over some great strikes and gutterballs, talk a bit about Spence’s upcoming Full Stack Web Development course, and enjoyed a very sweet and heartwarming happy birthday voicemail from the lovely quirkess!

Executive Producer: Sir CMike $100
We have a special show tonight! Since the debates fell on a Bowl After Bowl show night, we live streamed the debates and played along with No Agenda Bingo. We put that at the end of our episode, so first you get some more travel updates from Laurien and Spencer! We also discuss what we’ve been watching lately: Feels Good, Man, a documentary about the Pepe the Frog meme, and Brave New World, a Peacock Original Series that is a modern retelling of Aldous Huxley’s famous dystopian novel.

Meanwhile, a Michigan City Council decriminalized psychedelics with a unanimous vote and Vermont Governor Phil Scott has a cannabis bill on his desk to sign which prohibits cops from saliva testing impaired drivers without a search warrant. But there is no MORE Act being read this week, Nebraska’s Supreme Court killed their legalization initiative, and the USDA is spending $200,000 to figure out if we can get high from hemp-fed livestock.
Behind the curtain, they share “First Time I Ever encountered a jump scare” stories and suspicions that voter registration PSAs are coming to public restrooms.
Next week, the #FTIE topic will be “First Time I Ever saw porn.” Let us know when and how you stumbled upon a spank bank by calling OR texting us at (816) 607-DOOF,
