SFR 539: Renegade Radio

Explicit content warning

11/09/20 • -1 min

–Where have we been? Well, within the last month, we managed to get suspended from our webhost and server, and Bobby (and family) all got COVID. How has your month been?
–After the alternating funny and disgusting stories, we reiterate how to listen to the podcast for those who want to continue tagging along with the nomads Jason and Bobby.
–While we were away, James Randi died. We share what he meant to us, as well as our memories of getting the chance to interview him a few different times on this podcast.
—Alex Trebek, too, has died. We talk about how not only was he the perfect host for Jeopardy, always making knowledge cool, he also handled his illness in an incredible way.
—The election, seemingly, is all over but the crying. And there’s still some crying left to do. We talk about some of the crap we got from listeners over the last year and a half over our political prognostication. Bobby takes his victory lap, ensuring us all that he is not, nor will he ever be, a humble winner. Jason cautions those who believe “everything will be fine” now that their preferred candidate won, and explains while he will never believe in a fair and impartial mainstream press again.

SFR 538: Kissing Corpses

–Strange Frequencies Radio is back in your life, continuing Werewolf October, and talking a bit about its origins.
–Bobby has a basement dweller and he is hiding in a corner. Jason talks about an epic battle with a creepy crawler of his own that still chills his spine to this day.
–Knoxville man attempts to “resurrect” his grandma, according to a headline. But Jason sort of wonders if a few elements in the case suggest a different explanation.
–WTF moments including a (possibly true, possibly not) recurring dream about a man’s dead wife drowning in her grave, and a nearly decade old video of a man unveiling and kissing (who he purports is) his dead, decaying grandma in her casket.
–Bobby reviews the Hulu series MonsterLand. And by review, we mean he just tells you everything that happens in a couple episodes. So, ya know, spoiler alert.`
–Jason recommends a couple true crime documentaries making waves, A Wilderness of Error and American Murder. Both involve men serving time for an eerily similar crime: the murder of their pregnant wife and two young daughters. The difference is the levels of brutality involved.
–Listener topics: the Freqs want us to talk about the trailer of a new movie called Fatman, Gef the Talking Mongoose, and we answer a couple political questions. –We quickly recap the VP debate, but it’s either a shame or just a sign of the times that the thing many will take away from it is a fly on Pence’s head.

SFR 540: Twenty Twenty-Four

–Jason was confused by a text Bobby sent him earlier, so Bobby has to explain about the Nelson’s newest foster child.
–Though we don’t exactly do a “paranormal talk show” any more, Jason still hunts for paranormal stories. This leads us to talk about the kind of topics within that peak at certain times, while others are here year round.
–Bobby is in full on Christmas mode, with his tree up and jamming to the music. Still, we can’t leave out Thanksgiving because Jason loves a holiday all about eating. We lament that there aren’t more Thanksgiving movies.
–Bobby has injured his mouth with a toothpick and must see a dentist bright and early.
–We swap a few stories about our own doctor and dentist experiences, but Bobby relays a procedure his dad has to undergo that is just a tad scarier.
–Covid is never ending. In fact, Jason has decided that whatever the news media and public health officials say, he is going to assume it’s actually a level or two worse.
–Bobby has replaced one obsession (his health) with another, fixating on Trump and political news. We share a few thoughts about the ongoing claims of election fraud, and what the outlook is for 2024.
–Jason is looking forward to the new John Douglas book, because it brings together two of his lifelong interests: true crime and white nationalism. Meanwhile, Bobby is awaiting the arrival of new autographs he has coming.
–Bobby gets a new doorbell at a discount, but ends up having to spend the savings and more to have an electrician install it.
