The Bob and Zipcast with Ed Kelly

Warning Label: This podcast will serve as an election enema. We start with a flashback, in hopes that you'll see just how silly we are.

The spirit of Walter Cronkite visits, to remind us of a time when news was polite.

We look on the bright side… no person has engaged more of our citizens in their right to vote… without winning.

Spike O'Neill almost doesn't show, but rewards us in the end with his visit-

Bob on accounts from Ann Wilson's book (Kicking and Dreaming).. regrets past 'Morning DJ' references

and we close with a Twisted Tune about a fake news story out of Georgia.

Spoiler Alert: Bigfoot does not win the recount.

Recorded at noon on 11/06 as the election results get very close to being called, we take on the issues.. caring about each other, and some mild gloating.

Ed is out today, so Spike O'Neill joins us 1/2 way through… But the most important thing on our minds is not even mentioned till near the end of the Podcast.

Hearsay, fake news, misinformation.. lies & bullshit! - how can anyone know wtf is true anymore? (Facebook, of course!)

Our dear friend and brother Jeff Kathan has Coronavirus… your thoughts, well wishes and kind prayers are much appreciated. He's one of the strongest people I know.

A group hug for everyone as votes are counted.

A rollicking good time this Podcast is nearly live (Recorded noon November 4), as we face uncertainty over the next dew days.

Triage performed on expectations, and perhaps we can learn a lesson or 2 from our silly assumptions.

You won't want to miss Spike O'Neill who joins us midstream

More prophetic than ever- we close with our Twisted Tune, King Trump... recorded July 2016, before the election!

We fondly talk about Huey Lewis, Kenny G, and Weird Al (Bob's nemesis.. uncomfortable interviews).

Bob compares the election panic to Y2K (hopefully this one's a dud, too).

Spike O'Neill joins in to help us dissect the "Cancel Culture", a friend of ours (Dori Monson) return to the airwaves after a tweet misfire.. we chat sexual identity/preference, and Oreo's 'Rainbow Fence' commercial.

We plug another historical drama on Netflix "Hell On Wheels", but this one gets busted for being historically accurate. We talk about the first illegal immigrants. Slavery, and Women's rights.

Andrew Rivers is not afraid of the big bad virus, he's flying and doing comedy in Austin TX, and Oklahoma… he joins us from the road. (Spike O'Neill swapped with Andrew this week- he'll be with us on Friday).

A plug for a very special book by a wonderful brain scientist: Brain Rules for Aging Well, by John Medina.

Ed Kelly is out sick, so Special Guest 'Mitch McConnell' fills in and is very candid with us!

Lastly a Twisted Tune from the man who's campaigning hard for Joe Biden this week- we flash back to the only Twisted Tune sung by the father and son team of Bob and Keith Rivers. Obama Christ Superstar!

We’re late recording this week, so ‘Dennis Leary’ flips us all some grief.

We talk about the Christians and the Lions, and who you root for.

Rock news about The Beatles, AC/DC, and Phil Collins; How do you marry the same person twice, when the first divorce cost 46 Million Dollars?

And Fast Food relapse… The food might kill you, but thanks to environmentally friendly packaging, at least it’s better for the environment.

Do you know who Dr Lester Grinspoon was? If you miss John Lennon and don't miss Richard Nixon this story is for you.

Plus, a cool new feature for your TV during the Presidential Debate, and Special Guest Spike O'Neill has the gang in stitches, as usual!

Recommended viewing if you think things were never as screwed up as they are now: Aaron Sorkin directs Sasha Baron Cohen and Michael Keaton in "The Trial of The Chicago 7".

Don't miss.. 'Morgan Freeman apologizing for Jeffrey Toobin' and 'Top 10 Reasons to Expose Yourself on Zoom Call'

The Troll-in-Chief promotes QAnon because they don't like pedophilia- while at the same time saying he's "Not Up To Speed". Best-Troll-Of-All-Time.

Ed Kelly does a Dr. Smith impression (Lost In Space) which brings back embarrassing memories.

Andrew Rivers talks about that magic thing that Russell Wilson has…

Lots of people are moving to Maine from New York City- but if you want to move to Maine, you gotta learn to speak the language.

Bob fell off the Facebook wagon, started debating people (politely) about politics.

Can't believe Donald Trump was last on the Vermont ballot, AFTER Kanye West.

We take edited Dr Fauci audio (23:55) and create ads for all kinds of products he wouldn't endorse…

and a Sex Toy has a security breach- we don't own one of these, but present the story as a public service just in case.

Spike O'Neill is MIA, but does show up for our last 15 minutes- his family had a Covid scare.

Crazy times… Ed's in Detroit, and his governor was almost overthrown by a right wing militia group… so it's a little hard to pretend things are normal. At least there's an undisputed lighthearted moment from the VP debate: A Common Housefly.

Ghislaine Maxwell hires a new attorney… you'll never guess.

Could the Catholic Church be low on funds? Pope Francis speaks out.

Andrew Rivers is about to get on Airplanes again… he figures he'll get great medical care if he needs it, since he pays more income tax than the President.
