BML: Oooooooh-Klahoma!
November 16, 2021 15:48 - 35 minutes - 32.8 MBBill Mick and Dave get together on WMMB to talk about Oklahoma, the National Guard, and the Kyle Rittenhouse trial wrapping up...
WTF: St. Brice's Day
November 14, 2021 19:05 - 45 minutes - 42.1 MBRabbi Dave and Friar Cook recall the tragic events of St. Brice’s Day, when the invading Danish Vikings finally paid a terrible prices for… bathing. Meanwhile, Gavin Newsome, who cackled and exploded into bats, finally showed up after two weeks, at a wedding officiated by Nancy Pelosi. You cannot make this stuff up, folks. As you know, Dave HATES Disney. He always has. Why, you may ask? He explains just one of the reasons. The Nation is divided, but we don’t have the time to talk about it…
Ritter Hauser
November 12, 2021 16:07 - 19 minutes - 17.7 MBAs the Ritterhauser* trial lurches to its apparently inevitable conclusion, many are speculating that the Prosecutors have intentionally thrown the case, trying to get a mistrial. There’s a flaw in that theory, but it also appears to be a standard play in the Prosecutorial playbook. And that, my friends, is a problem… *Intentionally misspelled as a Raines Sandwich for Facebook
Skeptical Steel
November 12, 2021 02:57 - 37 minutes - 34.8 MBThe Sub Vet, Eric Ryle, is back to talk about submarines and Veterans Day. This week we learned that a long time Navy Metallurgist lied for years about the testing of steel used in Navy ships and submarines. Now, for Dave and Eric, it didn't make any difference as their boats were much older, but it does raise questions about the quality of the steel used in today's boats. But more than that, it raises questions about the overall safety and security of the Navy's operations.
BML: Aaron Rodgers the Pariah
November 09, 2021 20:42 - 35 minutes - 32.3 MBBill Mick and Dave get together to talk about Aaron Rodgers, Terry Bradshaw and boyhood heroes…
Trek Talk: I NEVER Forget a Face...
November 08, 2021 18:20 - 33 minutes - 30.5 MBBill Mick and Dave get together for more Trek Talk. This time they delve into The Wrath of Kahn and THE answer to the greatest controversy in all of Star Trek - How did Kahn know who Chekov is?
WTF: How You Dune?
November 07, 2021 19:51 - 55 minutes - 50.7 MBThe new version of the 1965 Novel, Dune” is out, and while it is a massive improvement over the 1984 version, there are still a few people who are not happy about it. from our perspective, the focus on human interaction is particularly intriguing and there are more than a few applicable to our time ideas here. Millennial’s are upset because life, as it turns out, is not easy. Listeners are sending us texts, and things are getting weird at nuclear power plants…
Update On USS Connecticut... I think...
November 05, 2021 02:10 - 43 minutes - 39.7 MBEric Ryle of The SubVet.com is back to talk with Dave about their expert opinions of the latest news on the USS Connecticut. First off, the Navy had kind of admitted that the submarine hit the bottom, somewhere in the South China Sea. Then the Navy sort of released an official picture of the boat, although technically it’s a picture of the SecNav talking last week with the Captain of the Tender in Guam. The Connecticut just happens to be in the background. But it’s clear from the accidental p...
10,000 Racist Zombie NFTs
November 03, 2021 17:18 - 16 minutes - 15.4 MBElijah Woods, of LOTR fame, recently acquired an NFT about which he tweeted, quite proudly. Subsequently, he has been accused of racism by proxy and threatened with cancellation. I have several questions, for which I have almost no answers. First off, who in their right mind would buy an NFT? Next up, why would you tweet about it? Lastly, what kind of useless too-much-time-on-your-hands loser do you need to be to have a fit about it all?
BML: Go Let's Yourself!
November 02, 2021 13:38 - 36 minutes - 33.3 MBBill Mick and Dave get together on a Tuesday (It’s the new Monday!) to talk “Let’s Go Brandon!”
"Let's Go Brandon!"
November 01, 2021 18:17 - 14 minutes - 13.5 MBSo… according to a Gallup poll conducted last month, Americans “trust in the media” has plummeted to the second lowest point ever. We could get off into the weeds about “what is media?” but for our purposes, let’s just assume that it consists of Newspapers, Television news programs and radio. The so-called “legacy media” and not random blogs or Social Media accounts. What possible reasons could there be for this decline in our “trust” of the media? This very morning I was – as I usually do...
WTF: My friend the Witch Doctor
October 31, 2021 16:59 - 59 minutes - 54.7 MBIt's Halloween! If you believe in ghosts, or spirits or just spooky stuff in general, today is your day to celebrate all things weird and whacky. Rabbi Dave once had an encounter with a verified Witch Doctor in San Francisco. But it all turned out good. The Coronal Mass ejection came and went without much of a show after all. But tonight should be fun! DID is a thing, especially on Twitter. which is no big surprise, given the way that Western Cultures seem able to convince themselves to have...
The Perfect Antagonists
October 29, 2021 03:11 - 14 minutes - 13.6 MBI had a whole show prepped on a subject that I care about, but as so often happens, I had a conversation with my son that set my mind on another course…
Come On Man, Freedom...
October 28, 2021 03:00 - 14 minutes - 1.28 MBAt a recent Television Town Hall, the President of the United States informed us that the vaccine mandates "are working," and that some ninety percent or more are getting the vaccine. That leaves the unvaxxed people who are "just trying to make this a political issue" and who say "I have the freedom to kill you with my COVID. I mean, come on..." The real issue here is that, like most modern American, Joe Biden doesn't comprehend the concept of liberty. There really is no reason to be surprise...
Epic "Stuff" (with Eric Ryle of The Sub Vet)
October 26, 2021 10:00 - 31 minutes - 29.2 MBEric Ryle of The SUB VET online group and webpage joins Dave to talk about the USS Connecticut overhead shots. The first overhead satellite shots of the USS Connecticut are both revealing and confusing. It’s now clear that the ship did hit something bow on, but what the extent of the total damage was will probably never be known. In any case, it is yet another example that one of the basic truths about US Navy submariners remains as true today as it did a hundred and twenty-one years ago: Y...
BML: Inevitable Consequences
October 25, 2021 13:46 - 34 minutes - 31.7 MBBill Mick and Dave get together on a stormy Monday morning to talk gun safety and Hollywood, Vaccine mandates and NFL Football…
WTF: The Raines Facebook
October 24, 2021 20:09 - 1 hour - 5.46 MBThe COVID madness continues. It’s hard to believe that we are even dumber after eighteen months of this nonsense, but… we are… A big part of the problem continues to be Social Media, especially Facebook, which has now produced a second “whistleblower” to bolster it’s desire to regulate the industry. Of course, more and more people are now finding ways to Raines Sandwich the Social Media Giant, because that’s what real Americans do. And have done for generations. Sugar daddies are seeking Su...

The Demise of The Virtuous Citizen
October 22, 2021 18:02 - 13 minutes - 12.7 MBJames Madison once argued that when laws become so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that the cannot be understood by the people, it will poison the blessings of liberty itself. Over the past few years, I find myself leaning more and more into the general position of the Anti-Federalists of the 1788 era. while I love the Constitution and its history with a passion that came to me late in life, I am also beginning to realize that the Framers and the writers of the Federal...
BNL: Equality of Outcomes
October 18, 2021 17:53 - 35 minutesBill Mick and Dave talk about vaccine protests in Washington State, the concepts of equality of outcome and even a little bit of Star Trek!
BML: Equality of Outcome
October 18, 2021 13:46 - 35 minutes - 32.4 MBBill Mick and Dave talk about vaccine protests in Washington State, the concepts of equality of outcome and even a little bit of Star Trek!
Diamond Rants: Why Pelosi, Psaki and Biden are Right
October 14, 2021 16:56 - 12 minutes - 11.6 MBWARNING: ADULT LANGUAGE AND VERY ANGRY DAVE If “Sailor” language upsets or offends you, well… (deleted) off. Don’t listen. The problem with what both Jenn Paski and Nancy Pelosi had to say about you this week is that they aren’t wrong because they are wrong. In point of fact, they were right. Why do I say that? In a way it’s because of the “Golden Rule.” No… not that one. The other “golden rule.” But it’s less about the physicality of gold and more about the reality of power. This is why ...
The Right to Medical Privacy
October 13, 2021 16:49 - 16 minutes - 15.4 MBAs you may have heard, I do not believe that the “religious exemption” is going to hold water when it comes to refusal to get the COVID-19 vaccination*. Consequently, the question I have tried to find an answer to is simply what is a better argument against the vaccine mandate? As a libertarian leaning Conservative, I like the position of privacy. What is between myself and my medical professional is between myself and my medical professional. It is literally none of your business, and it is...
It Is NOT Columbus Day
October 11, 2021 23:19 - 22 minutes - 20.3 MBI mean, it is Columbus Day, but Columbus wouldn’t have been happy about the name. And since most Americans today, many of whom HATE Columbus Day, don’t know the full story of how we ended up having a Columbus Day in the first place, it seems apropos to point out the fact that it’s most definitely NOT “Columbus” Day…
BML: COVID EO's, Chappell and Submarines
October 11, 2021 13:48 - 36 minutes - 33 MBBill Mick and Dave talk about the recent Executive Order mandating Federal Contractors have a vaccine mandate; Dave Chappell gets uncancelled and a spy tries to sell submarine secrets…
WTF: Crab Rangoon's
October 10, 2021 20:31 - 1 hourRabbi Dave remains unconvinced that the “religious exemption” argument is a valid, especially for government football coaches for mediocre programs. Friar Jedi Cook on the other hand, believes that the use of aborted fetal cells in vaccines is a valid religious exemption, although it’s unclear as to what religions (if any) actually hold that position. Then again, Dave is of the stated belief that the USS Connecticut was grabbed by a Kraken. It makes as much sense as anything else. Crab Rang...
Dictator Perpetuo Rei Publicae Constituendae
October 07, 2021 16:37 - 23 minutes - 21.1 MBThere have been two ubiquitous phrases this week, both of which are just annoying the living hell out of me. First up, the whole “Nobody is making money on natural immunity” meme. Yes, they are, but it’s NOT you. Next up is the “The National Divorce is Coming” nonsense. Look, I get it. People who have no concept of history believe that “We’ve never been more divided.” The problem isn’t the divisions or even the disagreement, it’s the method by which we have been manipulated into believing t...
The Nattering Nabobs of Moderna
October 06, 2021 16:37 - 19 minutes - 17.8 MBOn Monday a caller to Bill Mick Live brought up the idea that the COVID fiasco is less about medical science and more about the money behind the big green curtain. even Rod is on a rant lately about the money behind the vaccination. Even as I type this, hie is texting me articles from Forbes about how the founders of Moderna are making the list of America’s richest people during the pandemic. Listen, it’s absolutely true that money is power and power is politics. And I have not a doubt in my...
October 5, 1986
October 05, 2021 16:35 - 18 minutes - 16.6 MBI was going to talk about the idea of money behind the politics of the day and how that actually led to one of the seminal events in history, the American Revolution. Maybe I’ll back to that tomorrow? Thirty-five years ago today was my last full day off before departing on the infamous Patrol 13 aboard USS Michigan. I was in one of my favorite places, Port Townsend, WA. There, in the midst of a bittersweet sun splashed fall day, I saw a newspaper headline that chilled me to the bone. A Sovie...
BML - Bill and Dave: Loyal Faucinistas?
October 04, 2021 15:59Did you know that Bill Mick and Dave are both loyal to the Fauci? Turns out they didn't know that either...
BML - Bill and Dave: Loyal Faucinistas?
October 04, 2021 14:55 - 35 minutes - 32.3 MBDid you know that Bill Mick and Dave are both loyal to the Fauci? Turns out they didn’t know that either…
WTF: Day by Day
October 03, 2021 20:24 - 56 minutesRabbi Dave is Joined by the newly minted Jedi Knight Rod who recently joined the Church of the Jedi to ask a few questions, which is what goliards do. Were the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah destroyed by an air burst weapon, ala Tunguska? A recent scientific paper says that it happened just that way. But don't just follow that science quite so fast! No one ever expects the Ninjas. Especially in the middle of the night on on a Special Forces base in California. And in the great tradition of the...
Raspberry Velvet - International Podcast Day
September 30, 2021 15:13 - 14 minutes - 13.4 MBDaniel Craig showed up to the premier of No Time to Die, his final James Bond film, wearing a “raspberry colored velvet” jacket. This is an actual quote found in the London times about the jacket: “Personally, I think that, while there’s a touch of 70s cruise ship crooner to coloured velvet, it’s an impactful, playful choice that toys with the codes of Bond sartorialism…” Now… other than the fact that I love to spell the word “colour” with the letter “u” and having to look up the word “sart...
What Is The Goal?
September 29, 2021 19:53 - 17 minutes - 15.6 MBWatching the ongoing screeching over the Arizona election Audit has only served to prove my point: (a) you will never overturn the election results and (b) you’re pissing people who might otherwise listen to you off. My grandparents and my mother used to say “You’ll catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.” It’s one of those Ye Olde “sermons in a Sentence” that we all know, but rarely stop to consider. Unless you happen to be in the PR bizz. A long time ago, two groups had a year long...
WTF: The Grand Inquisitor
September 28, 2021 14:27 - 49 minutesRabbi Dave and Friar Rod gather again to talk about the issues of the day. Sure… it’s not the “weekend,” but who really cares? One of the more amazing effects of the way we live today is how information that displeases us is treated. You might think that this is something new, but it’s really not. even Dostoyevsky spent a lot of pages telling a long involved poem about it… We’re all going to die, but at least we’re not on Jupiter. And do you lean Jedi over Sith? That’s because you are a sex...
A Question...
September 26, 2021 19:22 - 35 minutes - 80.3 MBBill Mick and Dave continue their discussion of Star Trek ('cause they got nothing else to do!) after the receive a question. Daniel humbly wishes to know why Dave doesn't care for Voyager and also where he should go next in his watching of the greatest Television franchise ever created?
The Pictures In Your Head
September 24, 2021 16:47 - 17 minutes - 15.9 MBThe other day the MILSURPWRITER sent me a link to a video he had watched and on which wanted my thoughts. As usually happens in these discussions, the thought processes went from the actual content of the video in question to the ideas behind it and other presentations that we see each and every day. Which, of course, led us to a history discussion, because that’s what we do…
The Curley Effect (Why Newsome Won)
September 23, 2021 17:11 - 26 minutes - 24.1 MBA whole lot of Conservatives who don’t live and have probably never lived in California, are losing what’s their of their minds over Gavin Newsome’s “unexpected” win in the recall election held last week. It can only be the result of cheating, malfeasance or (gasp) ballot machine fraud! Of course the reality is much different. People who are actually familiar with California told you that the recall had zero chance of succeeding, even if GOP sponsored polls said that it could. It lacked any ...
The Best & The Brightest
September 21, 2021 17:45 - 23 minutes - 21.7 MBIn the early weeks of the new decade, the government had gathered the “Best and the Brightest” to contemplate the existential problems that the nation faced. among their conclusions was the idea that if the government failed to stop the fall of a provincial capitol to the enemy, the entire set of dominos would surely follow and fall as well. The great Nation would be left bereft in the face of her enemies, and doomed to be conquered by those who hated her. No… we are NOT talking about the 19...
BML: Matters of the Heart
September 20, 2021 14:16Bill Mick and Dave talk about people being harassed at Target over masks, Tony Romo, Inside the business of being a Talk Show Host, and a Football Coach who actually understands why it’s better for some people to find something that they can put their heart into…
WTF: Absurd Arguments (In Pirate)
September 19, 2021 20:54Rabbi Dave replaced his computer this week, so of course the sound inputs aren’t working correctly… the absurdity of the “Religious Exemption” to the vaccine mandate is pretty obvious when you think about it, even to a Christian Scientist (which is NOT a Scientologist). The best argument for an exemptions is to just be a politician! It’s a “Talk Like a Pirate Day” episode of What the Frock!
It's Easy To Be A Patriot... On the Radio...
