Episode 120: Mother's Wittle Helpers

Chris got the 'vid again, the CDC can't tell us stuff anymore, drinking something... unexpected and sometimes unfortunate, Wally's daughter living off the grid, humans using products meant for animals, personality tests, SNL 50, old music collections, Amazon reviews, creepy man comments online, Wally nitpicks about "my," and getting rid of the penny.

Chris got the 'vid, Jess is a guest on a fun show, is there another Wally? Trolling Google and Apple for the Gulf of America and other Trumpfoolery, the wokeness of Little House on the Prairie (then AND now), TV we love, people who don't wash their hands, an online furniture shopping mishap, Jess's contractor updates, complaints, and gambling wins.

Our thoughts on the "new" FCC payola investigation and Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn, tariffs and the children Elon Musk gave our social security numbers to, Chris's plans to see a famous lib get canceled, Wally's fears for white men (insert Jess's eye roll here), country artists know who has supported them in the past, the reasons the house Chris made an offer on failed inspection, contractor BS, and people with the last name Hitler in the US,

The technical difficulties are not Wally's for once, ideas for changing the show since the new gender rules, radio station sales and CEO effectiveness, the RFK hearings, Wally figures out Zoom, Jess gets something new, ICE and anti-immigrant BS, tariffs and how they'll affect US customers, why we're hoping your President doesn't know New Mexico is a state, Wally's free coffee, Chris goes to the Price Is Right, legit calls that seem like scams, automated phone menu BS, and renewing a drivers license.

White men are "back," Jess gets a threatening email, changes in radio broadcasting in the public interest, screwing over the billionaires, Wally learns how to use Zoom... starting with the spelling, the internet stranger who tried to hurt Jess's feelings (bless his heart), the terrible thing about working in news, the truth about the Doppler, and it's 10pm -- do you know where your children are?

This show started out so stupid, there was nowhere to go but up. Back pain from aging and med side effects, Chris blew something gross out of his eye, the battle of the sisters drama, the comments section about the LA wildfire victims, neighbors, the Nashville snowpocalypse and an almost fistfight in the grocery store, and stupid people are not just on the internet anymore.

The show starts in chaos, making Greenland great again for the Gulf of America, golden showers, jobs we wouldn't want, binge watching, we wait with baited breath for Chris to get his CVS receipt, what makes Wally afraid he'll get shot, Chris has no idea where Jess works, dreams about old radio jobs, what Wally thinks is a benefit of the Trump administration, cops using their patrol cars as personal vehicles, using the TV to sleep, and cars then and now. Our New Year's Resolution is to get more ratings and reviews on Apple Podcasts, but we need your help for that. Even if you don't listen on Apple, it's free to create an Apple ID and leave us a review!

Radio news breaks while we're recording, vinyl albums, audio quality for music listeners, differences between streaming and radio, bowling alley drama, the MAGA split and a Congress person with dementia, an update on Wally's sister, weather problems, Jess's neighbor calls, pets and farm animals, sleep issues and bad dreams, and Wally writes a sternly worded email. 

Jess pauses her vacation trash-TV binge watching for this episode, Wally finally gets unblocked from the delivery app, racism for no reason, Tik Tok is uncensored in its final days (but Wally has no idea), Bob Saget's raunchy joke, Jeff Daniels as an actor and guitar player, President Musk, Santa as a sex offender, the Blake Lively situation, family drama, and Chris and Jess's last day on the air together.

Roads don't kill people, Wally thinks kids should just "brush it off", radio perks, Chris's fiancée comes out of anesthesia, T-Mobile tries to murder Jess, Wally takes 4 years to figure out how his Christmas tree works, Chris scans groceries on the show, good news at the doctor's office, tenants mess up everything, and confusing cat treats with Skittles.
