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.
We're taking candy away from babies, conversing about parenting today vs parenting in the old days, and ponder... is it par for the course that the parent/child roles eventually reverse? Andrew has some life lessons for Bob.
Will Trump be indicted? Bob's not so sure.. 'for the good of the country'
Isn't it kinda sus that gas prices just happen to go down right after the midterms? Things that make you go 'hmmm 🤔'
Spike doesn't want to talk politics. Well, at least that was his initial intention. He unleashes on George Santos and a couple other matters in true Spike fashion, but can't focus because Andrew's fashion (beautiful hair) is too distracting.
Dealing with scammer calls.. Wait, is it really a scammer? Would a legit gov agency representative chew ass for thinking they might be a scammer?
Why is the US 'da boss' of the world? Do we think we rule the world? Are we better than them?
The best thing about E-cars is not 'not having to put gas in them'. We've the good, the bad and the ugly about electric vehicles.. Shawn has some particular thoughts on EV's.
New entertainment ideas; Andrew floats 'Netflix for Liberals' and 'Jew-ish' (ala 'Black-ish') And Spike comes up with a new Twisted Christmas tune idea on the fly; "I'm Dreaming of Some White- Privilege"
Spike gets real about fam, learning his pronouns, the true meaning of *this* Christmas and what nearly brought him to tears ❤️
Finally, Bob is going under the knife again, and will be recovering by the time you hear this. But assures it's relatively routine and has nothing todo with that 'other/more significant matter'.

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.
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

Songs we could never do today. Spike talks about how being woke would have negated much of our classic humor.
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.
Is this just like Bernie Madoff, Enron, Theranos, and so many other swindles? Should Sam rot in prison?
Bob asks the group, can you tell the difference between "Truth" and "Opinion". Turns out we're mostly good at the latter.
We're a storytelling species, so everything is a narrative, right? When did narrative become a bad word? Was it when billions of people got their own hand-held global multimedia platforms and the long tail started wagging the dog?
When an AI tool allows you to make cool Avatars of your face, is that cool? What if an AI app can make someone with no talent paint in the style of an established artist? Is that intellectual property theft? Or is it progress?
We close the audio show with a set of Twisted Christmas tunes requested by our livestream audience. "Who Put The Stump", "Christmas Money", and "I Am Santa Claus".
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, and coming soon; we'll be bringing listeners on the show!
Rough, no intro/outros and not much of a plan- patience appreciated while we find our groove.
Coming Soon. Live streaming pods where you can be a part of the conversation. The Bob and Zip Show with Ed Kelly. Positive Law with Bob Rivers and Shawn Alexander, and more TBA.
