Is It Safe?

WELCOME TO 100!!!!!!!! Tribute to Matt and John Scott! Our is It Safe? forefathers. We have a new permanent member of the show to announce in edition to the celebration of 100 episodes of our silly little show. Welcome Steve to the crew! Give him his due because he is a fabulous addition to our program! After the initial 100th episode love to start of the show, the fellas have a boat load of emails to get to thanks to your dutiful efforts. Also, we give major props to listener Eric who made a fresh new trove of audio clips in honor of our 100th episode. So you may hear the voices of past hosts on this episode plus words coming from the mouths of current hosts that are technically pre-recorded. You'll figure it out. You're smart. Our listeners have a keen ear. Thank you Eric for going the extra mile by creating this audio in your free time. The fellas ponder the many voicemails over the years that have been lost to the ether. Luke apparently rambled a lot when he left a voice message. Mr. Pink kicks off the emails in chronological order. Who is Mr. Pink? Does it matter? Mr. Pink wants to know about cancel culture and why others can come back from being canceled while others can't. Not only is Terminator 2 the better movie, but it's also the superior theme song. So says Govier. The Cryptkeeper from Tales From The Crypt wanted to welcome Steve in as a new host of the show. Plus he has competition too because Yoda wants to show Steve the love as well! Sean emails us with some great premises and questions for us all with one of them related to mini horses and giant mice. Mike gets completely sidetracked with drops at this point and laughs until he wets his pants. Govier used to listen to 311 in high school. He also wants an investigation of 311. Our Alaskan correspondent Danny drops an email with quite a trick up his sleeve for Luke! Luke also shares some inside dope on how the show barely comes together every week. Brian sent us two emails! They are both stellar contributions to the show that provide plenty of thought provoking discussion. Mike Trout or Shohei Ohani? Who you got? The fellas stumble upon the origin of Luke's alter ego known as Belidge! It turns out Luke had quite the temper when he played baseball in high school. We love you all! We close this session with a selection from Govier which feels appropriate for the chaotic nature of this episode. It's called Let's Get The Baby High by The Dead Milkmen. If any of this nonsense strikes you, please email our talk show at [email protected] to explain why.

Get ready for our 100th episode! It's coming in the first week of May, 2023! We have big news to share on that show as well. Don't miss this! Make sure to get your email tributes in now by emailing [email protected] because we want to hear from ALL of you!

Another special guest is here! Travis Roy from Cinema 9 & 1993-94: A Music Podcast. Travis is an old friend of Luke & Mike, so expect fireworks on this episode. I wish I could write more, but I have to go Taco Bell. Just know this episode is filled with music, movies, political infighting and a bunch of random audio clips like every other episode. Travis is a willing and fair participant as Luke gives it to him with both barrels. We love you all! We close this session with a selection from Travis called Life Of Crime by The Laughing Hyenas. If any of this nonsense strikes you, please email the show [email protected] to explain why.

Give it up for this week's guest Eric Branstrom from the Cinema 9 podcast! No Holds Barred was a terrible movie featuring Tiny Lister Jr. who passed away in recent times. His shot put game was on point. Eric wants to clear the air about his email from many moons ago related to force tipping at certain establishments. Another week, another rant from Luke about Bill Maher. Mike learns who J.D. Vance is. Do you still eat cereal? Mike doesn't eat breakfast and Luke is not a fan of Mike's lifestyle choice. We read your emails! Travis makes his email debut on the show and is going on the record that he is not Mr. Pink. Dany wants to talk magic mushrooms and the benefits they can have for people in pain. There's a new documentary about Subway scumbag Jared. Does anyone care? Mike thought he was an athletic god when he was on hallucinogens. The debate about big pharma meds in pill form versus talking it out or taking hallucinogens sparks debate amongst the fellas. Eric reminds everybody about Tom Cruise telling Matt Lauer about why Scientology is the way and psychiatry is a hoax. Which religion has caused traumatized more people: Scientology or Catholicism? Mike grew up on smaller club shows compared to big arena concerts. Blink-182 is headlining the local Globo-dome next month and everybody is confident there will be alien talk at that show. Detroiters took all the comedy bits about classic local Detroit commercials from the 1980s & 1990s. Former legendary local anchor Bill Bonds appeared at a local dump in Eric's hometown. Mike is pissed Vegas still has smoking indoors, but Luke is down with a private club that allow smokers to congregate indoors freely anywhere. We love you all! We close this session with a selection from Eric called Don't Fuck With My Money by Penguin Prison. If any of this nonsense strikes you, please email the show [email protected] to explain why.

Our pal Steve joins us again as we talk about vaping versus cigarettes. Do you have a preference? Jewel is from Alaska which reminded us of our show pal Danny! Could any of you decide between Sarah Palin or Kamala Harris if there was a run-off vice presidential election? We read out lone email for the week from Mr. Pink. The mystery surrounding Mr. Pink only gets more curious after this email. Mr. Pink also wants to know what we think of self-help books. Mike learned a valuable lesson about reading books blindly without investigating the author first. 12 step recovery programs like AA have a 95% relapse rate which leaves Steve wide open to make a first-class crack about capitalism. Mike loves the song Arthur's Theme, but isn't much of a fan of the movie. Bill Maher had Russell Brand on his podcast recently. We go over a clip from the show that was curious which means Luke definitely goes off on Bill Maher at some point in this episode. Steve has a new plan for preventing doom scrolling. We also talk about the existence of investigative journalism and how important it is to prevent mainstream news from distracting us 24/7. Luke complains about Detroit local journalist Charlie LeDuff and why his podcast No BS News sucks. Mike disagrees. Steve drops some knowledge related to how bad things have gotten economically in the USA over the last 40 years. We love you all! We close this session with a selection from Steve called Urgent, Important, Please Read by DJ Shadow. If any of this nonsense strikes you, please email the show [email protected] to explain why.

Luke & Mike get back to business this week. Mike is home sweet home after a weekend in Las Vegas. There are plenty of tidbits to cover in this episode, but there is no time to write it up at the moment. So just press play and see what surprises await you! The fellas close the show with The Presidents of the United States of America's Kitty. We love you all! Email this talk show at [email protected]

Luke & Mike are heating up! Mike is fooling himself thinking he has time for a sweet gaming PC. Luke prefers Android. Your hosts know pain. Norm MacDonald puts it succinctly and clearly when it comes to why people take their own lives. This year's Oscars were not a focus for the boys after last year's legendary live moment of slappity-slap chaos, Your emails are ALWAYS a focus of the show. Mr. Pink wants to understand what "lived experience" means. Might it just be a talking point? Jon Favreau has come a long way since Swingers. Hollywood's mainstream trash machine is money driven. Did you know that?! This week's secret emailer wants to know if he did the right thing when it comes to allowing his students to choose whether they participate in the Pledge of Allegiance. Mike loved the documentary Val which reminded him of how much he loved 1997's The Saint. Jack Warden was a real character. Problem Child till holds up. Danny brings it with his very own poem for the 95th episode of the show! Luke takes a moment to read a piece from Movie Wars by Jonathan Rosenbaum. Small Soldiers versus Saving Private Ryan from 1998 is the topic. David Cross and Mr. Show had a an influence on the underrated Small Soldiers. Pretty neat! Finally, Luke & Mike talk about the Silicon Valley Bank run and why the economic system in the United States is a total shell game. It generally always has been and continues to be. Don't be fooled folks! Protect ya neck! The fellas close the show with Wu-Tang Clan's C.R.E.A.M.. We love you all! Email this talk show at [email protected]

Luke & Mike are on the scene trying to get this thing consistent. Thank you for teaching us. Don't give on us! Do you listen to Dax Shepherd's podcast? Is it trash? Chris Rock had a big moment in time with his live special on Netflix. Was it funny? Dated? So-so? There's a bunch of old emails we need to attend do. And that's exactly what we do! We're all caught up now. What's the most pointless movie you saw in class during high school? Luke ponders what a nervous breakdown is literally defined as. Maybe it's just an audible scream by Daniel Stern? Who can really say. Brian is thinking about a buying a home and in Ann Arbor living next to a stadium stands out from other local areas that many other sports arenas inhabit. The fellas close the show with The Clash's Train in Vain. We love you all! Email this talk show at [email protected]

It is with great sadness that we announce the departure of John Scott from these hallowed imaginary talk show walls. John was the best of us in every sense of humanity. He never let us down and he always had Scott's Plan ready to go in the chamber. We will miss him dearly. Scott will absolutely have a standing order on this show along with our other former show pal, Matt. The good news though is Luke's baby is out in the world now, so we can lock in on doing this show consistently. Even though we could have done this show consistently before the baby arrived. All past is prologue. Now is the time for us to focus in on 2023 to be there for you as this world continues to depreciate one day at a time with another shooting or train derailment right around the corner. We have SO MUCH to talk about that we didn't even get to all of it in this episode. Please keep your emails coming to let us know if you are down with Govier & Luke as a twosome. There will be plenty of guests hosts rotating in as well, but the current show is now made up of only these two old friends who have known each other since 1995. They love doing this show. Now that the dust has settled, expect consistency going forward. Mourn the loss of Scott, but please stick with us. We're all going to need each other more than ever this year. The fellas close the show in tribute to the friend they made in Scott with Lagwagon's Making Friends. We love you all! Email this talk show at [email protected]

Scott is house hunting, but the Zillow filters are limiting him and Steph. Damar Hamlin will be a part of the festivities when the Bills welcomes the Bengals into Buffalo Sunday. Unfortunately, Mike says Joe Burrow will spoil the party. American Beauty is a boomer's whiny manifesto. Did you know that? Former show host Matt met up with Scotty to drink cheap shit in a fancy place. Or was it the other way around? Boilermakers were had by all. We miss you Matt! Mike plays Beer Goggles by Lagwagon which takes the fellas back to the high school punk rock days. Face To Face was a popular 90s punk band that had a song pop in the 1995 original Mortal Kombat movie. We read your emails! Our pal Steve emailed us a bunch of random clips and tidbits. Steve is a treasure! Danny emails the show and brightens our day with a Shaun Rogers reference for our 92nd episode. The former Lion's defensive tackle live in in YouTube clips. Dany wants to know what we've been watching lately. We all consumed The Menu recently. If you haven't seen it, skip this part. Scott has some sizzling thoughts about Anya Taylor-Joy. We ran out of time, so we save the rest of the emails for next week. That means you Mr. Pink. We close this show with Teach Your Children by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young since David Crosby bit the big one at 81 years old this week. If any of this nonsense strikes you, please email the show [email protected] to improve the overall quality of future conversations. We love you all!
