The Bob Rivers Show

A software veteran, pilot, and the 'true story' basis of a movie in development, Chuck Opperman has seen it all and is our special guest in this episode of The Truth Gets It’s Pants On. We dig with stories about the past, present, and future of technology. AI is cute now. An interesting tool. How are you using it? Will it kill jobs? Will it increase productivity? Does it infringe on intellectual property? Will we be overtaken by the Borg? Is it too late or too difficult to regulate? Listening to the audio on Podcast Service?

A quote from Enders Game. “There is no teacher but the enemy. No one but the enemy will tell you what the enemy is going to do. No one but the enemy will ever teach you how to destroy and conquer. Only the enemy show you where you are weak. Only the enemy shows you where he is strong. And the rules of the game are what you can do to him and what you can stop him from doing to you. – Mazer Rackham” It’s similar to The Art of War. Think about what it means and how we can apply it in our modern lives. Dr. John Medina had to say: Wow. Interesting quote. Did you ever read "The Art of War"? Sun Tzu, written about the time the ancient Israelites were getting their butts kicked by the Assyrians. Favorite line:“If you know the enemy and you know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles." Interesting to contrast this with you Rackham quote. If you juxtapose those two philosophical quotes, you get the secret to success. The Wall Street Journal. The conservative paper of record, just caved on immigration. AI Wants to be regulated!!! Why? And how will that go? Hmm I wonder if the laws will be written by lobbyists from the biggest tech companies? Listening to the audio on Podcast Service?

Interning at KISW, Cathy Faulkner was barely old enough to buy cigarettes. The day Nirvana released "Nevermind", she became KISW Music Director. As Pearl Jam recorded "Ten", Cathy had fallen asleep on the studio couch.Bob Spike and Joe spend over an hour with Cathy on the "behind the scenes" curation of musicians, bands, on-air talent and how the 'Seattle Sound' came to be. A great conversation! Spike is tearing it up these days on KIRO Mid Days with his sparring partner (and fast rising talent) Jack Stine. And Downtown Joe is mentoring the Broadcasters of tomorrow at KMIH. And none of this could have happened at all for any of us without YOU. Thanks for listening for all those years. ** Check out Cathy on the Sound-Off Podcast episode, "KISW, Seattle and the G-Word", at: https://www.soundoffpodcast.com/cathy-faulkner Visit Cathy's social media links, at: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LateCathyFaulkner/about Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mecathyfaulkner ** Check out Spike on KIRO, live or on-demand, respectively at: https://mynorthwest.com/category/kiro-radio https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/kiro-nights-with-spike-oneill/id1300717375 ** Check out 'Bob's Garage' for some of the live recordings mentioned, at: https://bobrivers.com/category/bobs-garage/?ref=p4FqKCcI9FA #seattlebands #seattlemusicscene #seattlemusic #seattlesound #grunge #90smusic Listening to the audio on Podcast Service?

We will make every possible effort to go deep, staying away from hackneyed talking points. If you hear one, call us out on it! Let’s admit to all the lies we all swallow…. How the continuing thirst for click bait and fame has lowered our standards to previously unthinkable low levels of honesty. Wait, you think it’s only other people who are brainwashed? Zip always looks on the bright side of life. After years of paying in, he’s finally costing Medicare real money. So cool! Donald found liable for sexual assault that happened we’re not sure when, and ordered to pay millions. Are we starting to see enforcement of laws on the rich and powerful? Don’t bet too much on it. Look for a settlement while it’s on appeal. Billionaires only get speeding tickets. If West Wing and Homeland had a baby it would be this new Netflix series called “The Diplomat”. It stars Keri Russell. Listening to the audio on Podcast Service?

The true behind the scenes story of the creation of the Bob Rivers Show with Maura Gallucci. Maura was filling in on KIRO one morning. Downtown Joe heard her and the idea was hatched. Maura talks with Bob candidly about joining a Rock Show, doing real news…. Bob reveals his motivations and why the company let him raid the newsroom. Spike joins in after Impalers practice. We all agree that family is everything, and Spike and Maura update each other as he shares his pride for his miracle daughter. It took Bob 4 months to bring himself to watch the last interview he had with Dori Monson. After you see it, you’ll understand why he belongs on the Mount Rushmore of Seattle Radio.

The Journey from Reefer Madness to acceptance and beyond! Comedian Andrew Rivers ( @andrewjrivers ) and Dad Bob talk about Pot. Andrew delivers the ultimate put-down zinger. Bob has Listened to some AI Music. Even though a large record company wants to outlaw it… they have nothing to worry about. It totally sucks. And we will all gloat over the almost 800 Billion Dollar speeding ticket that Rupert Murdock had to pay this week. If you watch FOX news, you may have missed the story. Bob comes out of the closet as a lapsed Conservative. And a "bound to fail" segment we call: The Lighter Side Of Gun Control. Listening to the audio on Podcast Service?

Bob and Lisa host a support group of Esophageal Cancer survivors over for a five-day hangout. The group met on a Zoom chat about a year ago and have gotten close. Bob saw no need to check anyone's pockets on departure. Ever seen any Cirque du Soleil shows? Bob raves about 'Michael Jackson One' and how was a feast for the senses with the incredible surround sound and no-net acrobatics. Which leads to discussing Michael's controversies and how the Vegas show made subtle reference through symbolism. Did MJ kinda get a pass? After talking about the 'KISW 90's reunion' that Joe attended & enjoyed seeing all the old faces.. The guys reminisce about Seattle's grunge heyday in the early 90's and talk about the current state of Seattle; homelessness, drug overdoses, graffiti, garbage and crime. Joe teases he has something in common with Hollywood movie stars, which is the use of the diabetic drug, Ozempic, for weight loss. Hollywood discovered this and started using it off-label, leading to people paying thousands of dollars for it. Joe's unsure of its effectiveness on him due to a high tolerance to drugs - and cuz.. eating - a lifelong habit that's hard to break. BSJ get some tips how to be better podcasters/hosts from an unlikely source.. the importance of accepting compliments graciously and expressing gratitude towards others. They touch on the difficulty of balancing listening and speaking when hosting a show and how this can sometimes cause hosts to come off as insensitive to compliments. We re-spin a great clip o'yesteryear when Lewis Black ( @OfficialLewisBlack / https://www.lewisblack.com ) visited the studio. Black discusses his comedic style, which he describes as being an optimist who is let down by reality every day… his philosophy on socialism, his formal education in drama and Broadway plays.. one he wrote that never made to stage. Joe visits family in Tucson. Southwest living is calling. Listening to the audio on Podcast Service?

Comedian Kristin Key (  @KristinKeyComedy  ) who has one of the nicest smiles in all of show biz. Her comedy is an uninhibited mix of edgy, joyful, a little dirty and always inclusive. And she sings and plays guitar, but not like most comics (badly) Kristin has a beautiful voice and her original and parody songs will have you busting a gut. 👏👏👏 Bob has had his first “snake sighting” on a desert hike, and just survived a week with the whole family, including granddaughters going to see Katy Perry’s broadway like Vegas residency. Would you rather be naked in public for a month or give up your smartphone for the same length of time? Consider carefully. Which show about terrible people is your favorite of all time, and why do you think it appeals to you? Attorney Shawn Alexander talks about how goofy the relationship is between Disney and Florida.

Russell Brand has been no stranger to controversy in media regarding his sex, drugs & rock & roll - marriage to Katy Perry, and his evermore right-leaning views on politics and social issues. We take you back to a younger, more predictable Brand (@RussellBrand) visiting The Bob Rivers Show to promote his movie, "Get Him to the Greek". Spike goes total fanboy and expertly matches Russell's laser-sharp wit as he hilariously touches on past abuse, heroin vs. career, exploding fame, celeb life with Katy... micturition and 'cats in jackets.' Joe, that sweetheart of a man who doesn't get his feathers ruffled too easily, has something troubling him more and more every day. And he is pissed off. Hear his passionate rant.

Gee, anything interesting going on in the news? The Trump indictment is unfortunately just the oxygen that the media loves to devour. Bob puts forth the "Tinder, Kindling and Windbag" theory of why we are about to once again be deluged with all Trump all the time. Bob notes the similarities between the WWE and the Christians and the Lions! Which Game of Thrones character does Trump resemble most? Bob confesses to being sucked into short clips of provocative questions. His Catholic guilt kicks in. Should there be an online confessional? Starbucks, McDonalds, The Airlines, and Hotels are all ruining their loyalty programs with shrinkflation. Bob gets some good news from the doctor during the show, he takes the call live.

A major announcement by Spotify that couldn’t be worse. Instead of giving real people access to the platform to be influencers and curators of music, they announce their new AI DJ. It is so bad, we mock it mercilessly. Can AI do that? Bob Rivers, Zip Zipfel, and Ed Kelly… with special guests Spike O’Neill, Shawn Alexander, and Comedian; Andrew Rivers (@andrewjrivers). The failure of Silicon Valley Bank could lead to contagion. No matter how much you hate seeing rich people bailed out, it has to happen. Blame the banks, blame the regulators, but don’t forget the Fed has been trying to “break” something by skyrocketing interest rates. Shawn Alexander’s family owned banks made him quite familiar with this “game” that is played with real money. Andrew Rivers has taken a 5 day break from Cannabis… which leads to a little frank father son dialogue about moderation and addiction. We’re just scratching the surface. Dad uses and has used Cannabis again for neuropathy, nausea, etc. That’s medical, but admittedly a gummy makes music sound incredible. So what’s moderation? When do you cross the line and become a Stoner? I suspect part 2 of this discussion is coming next week. Tyson Chicken is closing factories, because of low profit margins. We’re all worried this will affect our god given right to “cheap eats”. Can you imagine Eminem doing a rap about cats? We'll help you with that. Listening to the audio on Podcast Service?

Triple-Crown Hiker, Tami Asars, joins us as our special guest to share media, highlights and experiences while hiking the Continental Divide Trail…(Great photos.. we see we need to work on our video-streaming ops)… We remind all again that we'll soon stop streaming to Facebook and stream exclusively to YouTube. (No hard feelings, Mark, but we ain't feeling the love). Zip, as are much of the public, is infatuated with the Murdaugh trial. Could the interest in the story be due to the potential for a Netflix series? 'Dude- where's my car?' Spike's got thoughts on some Ford patents, innovations and features we'll probably see in cars/trucks in the very near-future. Bob's syrup-making friend was scrolling through short videos on his phone and showed a video of an alligator crawling through a wrought iron fence. Was cocaine-gator legit? Though initially deciding not to see Bruce Springsteen in concert per the high ticket prices and the less-than impressive tv performances seen of late, Spike & co decided to go after all. He talks about the concert, Springsteen's strong vocals, perfect backup harmonies, and his return to lead guitar playing…. The show includes seven encores, with the band leaving and returning for six of them. Bruce did a solo seventh/final encore. Spike says it's the best Springsteen show he has ever seen. Confused about Medicare? Other than the few younger folks who'll stop play at this segment, does anyone fully grasp all the programs, provisions.. parts xyz? A certain Canadian is confused about USA's Medicare. (Wait, what?) Listening to the audio on Podcast Service?

Bob is coming to you live from Springfield, VT. This week, from the Black River Innovation Campus, next week live from the Sugar House. What a contrast from Las Vegas to the small town of Homer Simpson (True Fact) Despite some choppy faces, audio ins-outs ups-downs, echos… Ed only managing to make his appearance via a single comment… Zip finally getting his dial-up modem connected in the last 15 minutes - and damn-near abandoning the Livestream altogether - we powered thru to present the good, bad & the f'ugly. Is your livelihood endangered by AI? Will we all be replaced by Mr Roboto? Major League Baseball is implementing timers for pitchers and batters to pick up the pace. Is baseball falling victim to this "TIK TOK world" of short attention spans? Is there enough diversity within the Bob and Zip Podcast? Is there any female or minority willing to work with us? Spike is going to see Bruce Springsteen tonight! Will this be the last time? Spike shares just how much impact Bruce has had in his world. Luciana Bartes drops-in to share the latest with her and Pedro, diversity & Conservative Christian Radio. Bob adds his thoughts about 'old white men' N5FW ish - Bob gets TMI about sexy-time 😱 Listening to the audio on Podcast Service?

No topic list, no plan, no nets. We're just going to fire it up and see where it goes! Special guest; Kaci Aitchison @kaciaitchison pops in and hangs for a spell! We'll be featuring and answering some questions- and tech cooperating- may invite some to join the livestream. We've only 2 rules: No F-bombs and no politics.

A 'Bob, Spike & Joe' announcement, The Valley of Fire, The Pandemic is still messing things up, Ed is a movie star, Maple Syrup Update, Lisa scares the crap out of Bob! Is it the 'end of the internet' as we know it today? The Supreme Court is set to hear oral arguments this week in two cases regarding Section 230 that could forever and profoundly alter online speech and content moderation. Bob and Lisa took a short road trip to Valley Of Fire. Lisa drove. Bob is a terrible driver, but he’s only the 2nd worst driver in this marriage. How can anyone who can drive with their knees, eat, surf the web, and make videos in a moving vehicle say their husband scares them when he drives? Ed Kelly is a Film Star. The life of a voice actor turned film actor. Auditions! Attorney Shawn Alexander and Bob update you on Mark, our friend who wants to be back on the grid, and come clean with the IRS. And: Things the pandemic is still doing to us! Dr Laura still on the air. Still a ruthless bitch. Zip Zipfel is fascinated that can be easily swayed, regardless of facts. He watches a lot of crime shows, and even if there’s a video tape of them committing a crime, a great attorney can create doubt. People who are obviously guilty are getting off, regardless of facts and evidence. How does this happen. A question for Shawn. We’re all dealing with death. Does that mean we’re old, or is there more death? Spoiler alert. We’re old. How to handle it.

The guaranteed fool proof way to lose an argument. Every time. Do this and you will fail. Hint. Avoid these phrases: You never! You always! You should! Bob and Lisa drive 500 miles to see the grandkids, and eat at a Chilis for the first time in their lives. A great waitress can make a so so restaurant magical. Zip talks about things that used to be illegal. You know, like Pot and Gambling. Are these changes good? What else is illegal that could be legalized? Ed Kelley met a lady in a thrift store. She approaches him with a French copy of some movie, and I realize that Liam Neeson is on the front and she says is anyone ever told you that you look just like this guy? Back spasms. Why do they come out of nowhere and seem to hit 40 year olds the hardest? Spike talks about how creativity won the day in SuperBowl commercials. And what would Jesus say about living in the modern world? Would he love paying 7 million dollars for a 30 second plug? Also, what if your iPhone was not made by Apple. Plus Special Guests Andrew Rivers (@andrewjrivers) and Adam Brenner (aka Adam Bomb) - International Guitar Hero. He’s touring the US ad Europe ad has a string of upcoming shows in Seattle.

Special Guest Downtown Joe Bryant tells the story of ChatGPT from the point of view of a High School teacher! Will he be replaced by a Kiosk? Or will it be a useful tool? Joe is diving in. The Power of Love. It's not just a Huey Lewis hit. What can we do to make the world a better place? Are we making the most of our time? Bob thinks a lot about this, as he is in Cancer remission, at least for the moment. The next chapter of "Our Friend Mark", who is trying to get right by the IRS. An accountant in our audience named Jeremy Saladino*, helps people in this situation. He offers more tips on going legit. If you know anyone off the grid economically, this story. Shawn Alexander chimes in from his legal perspectives. The Chinese Balloon. US surrounds China with War Machinery while freaking out about balloons.“A big Chinese balloon in the sky and millions of Chinese TikTok balloons on our phones,” tweeted Senator Mitt Romney. “Let’s shut them all down.” Hmm. Wouldn't we be just like China if we wanted a closed internet? And why am I supposed to think of China as an enemy? Is it just Bid-Ness? Plus… Spike O'Neill floats a couple Chinese-balloon-inspired Twisted Tune ideas… We ask ChatGPT some important questions and learn who the 'most famous Bob Rivers in the world' is… and we can now see more of Zip's mug! We close with a classic 'Spike & The Impalers' performance of 'Guns & Roses/Paradise City', featuring Kaci Aitchison on vocals!

What's the difference between executive function, and your lizard brain? Better known as the 'Reptilian Brain', responsible for the "4-F's" of primal responses to stimuli -- Fight, Flight, Food and Fornication. (The 4-F's have been debated over the years.. we're sticking with the above for purposes here) About Rush Limbaugh, his style, his brain and how he captivated reptilian brains. Of course, Ed Kelly flexes his best Rush impression muscles.. and many others. Did the Internet kill the radio star? Maybe, but Bob knows how to bring the radio star back to life. It's a billion-dollar idea he was pitching to Apple years ago. He's giving it away here, for free! (You're welcome, Spotify) Also, Eddie Van Halen's brain, dementia, mental challenges, and more.
