Mike begins the show by commenting on an observation he's had about new animals entering the house. He notes that at first they are shy and complacent. That all changes.

Torya mentions how Odie stole a chicken bone off the table. Mike says the funny part isn't that he stole the bone, he thinks the funny part is the wrestling match. He points out that earlier when they were on their walk, Odie was ready to bark at someone and Yogi had his back. When Mike told Yogi to stop, Yogi stopped immediately. Mike points out that the dog knew he wasn't supposed to have the chicken bone because he grabbed it and tried to run elsewhere to eat it. He doesn't do that with food he knows he is allowed to eat. Torya could not pry the bone away from Odie at first. She had quite the struggle.

Mike opines that Odie survived mostly on table scraps. This is why he hates breakfast (kibble). He eats at night because he is hungry. He eats dinner out of habit and desperation.

Odie is very smart and learning things quickly. He also appeared on television and it will air at some point in the near future. It is on the Home & Family show from Thursday, July 26, 2018 on the Hallmark Channel. Torya says they can be found on YouTube as well.

Mike begins a discussion of Breaking Bad. He is convinced that Walter White's wife, Skyler, is a mastermind. Had she been involved from the start, they would have taken over the cartel. They discuss how Walter White was able to make the purest methamphetamine ever seen.

Mike observes that Walter got more and more obsessed with money. Eventually, he told his wife what was going on. She was responsible for helping them launder their money through a legit business. She made sure the business was run like any other business so there would be no suspicions. She actually hid their money in a storage unit.

Torya warns they will be presenting some Breaking Bad spoilers.

Mike points out that Walter cared too much about other people. It made him a less effective drug dealer. However, he was overly careful so they would not be discovered. His partner was not quite as careful. This would raise suspicions. It seems since you are dealing with drugs you probably should be extra careful.

The discussion turns to reasons to be careful and how to do that. This all leads to a discussion about how being honest means you don't have to remember crazy stories later.

Mike mentions that Odie is still looking for a home. Odie gets along with everyone. He loves Yogi.

Mike begins the show by talking again about their postal carrier issue. Apparently, they ran into a supervisor today who told them (threatened them) that they should let the issue go or it would get worse. Torya says the postal carrier does her thing to "fuck" with them. Mike agrees. He says that the postal carrier gets to make up any story she wants and she is protected because she is union. The supervisor made it clear he won't do a thing about this situation.

People like the mail carrier make us not trust people. She has knowledge of the rules and pushes them to their limit.

Torya says they will now get very familiar with Amazon Locker. Mike points out the issues they may have when using Amazon Locker. Torya says most of the issues they will experience are with packages the postal carrier would be too lazy to deliver anyway.

Mike transitions to Weiner Dude who is about to go to a new home.

Important Show Announcement
The Nightly Rant was always intended to be a 5 day per week show. When we started it we naively jumped in and began recording and releasing episodes. After more than 120 episodes, we have learned that we need to get in front of the content release schedule. As part of our new marketing plan here at Yogi's Podcast Network, we have built up some content ahead of time and will begin scheduling that with this current episode. Episodes will be released Tuesday thru Saturday. If something happens and we can't record on a certain day, we will re-release an older episode as a reminder to listeners how amazing our podcast is.

Episode 122
Mike opens the show by pointing out that some people think they are funny. This leads to a discussion of whether or not Mike, himself, is funny or not. Mike says that for every 4 people you meet, 2 people will be funny and he is one of them.

Mike says they spend a lot of time during the day solving problems. He says sometimes it is nice to have a television show that you don't even have to pay attention to. He says that Floribama Shore is that show for him. Mike claims every member of the cast is drama queens. They push each other's buttons. When they go out they continually start fights with everyone. It is clear that the production crew asks them to push the envelope a bit. Mike then compares Floribama Shore with The Jersey Shore. He says the last season he watched of The Jersey Shore was the best one he has seen yet.

Torya says that The Jersey Shore is dumb. Mike says Torya's approach towards The Jersey Shore is just like the Trump haters. Trump could cure cancer and they would complain he put oncologists out of business. Torya doesn't understand why people like watching people with less than half a brain make idiots of themselves on television. Mike says that many people want to do stupid stuff like these people do. He says the Floribama Shore people are like matches and gasoline together.

Mike reminds Torya of the message she sent him regarding the new show they are working on. He explains that the person could be a guest, but not the host.

Torya then goes back to why people watch reality television. She points out that she likes 90 Day Fiance and Married at First Sight and those people are also idiots in her opinion. She can't figure out why she likes watching those shows.

They then discuss how these reality stars whine so much. Mike points out the format wherein they use tell-all episodes to break up the season. Mike says that when the Teen Mom crew started talking to the producers it started to change and ruin the show.

Torya then brings up a musician from Canada that she likes who has been accused of sexual abuse and he has turned himself in. This leads her to believe he did what he's accused of. Mike asks does this change anything about the music. Torya says that hearing his music upsets her. Mike says that's a perspective and she should honor her own perspective. Torya says the music has stopped making her feel happy and just reminds her of what he did. Mike says he understands. One of his favorite bands, As I Lay Dying, had a similar situation. He said after the accusations about AILD, their music had less effect on him.

They talk about how people want the government to control everything. Mike points out there are two sides: (1) the government should control everything; and (2) the government should stay out of our lives.

Torya points out that she finds people who tell her how to live her life offensive. Mike brings up the Brown family who had to leave Utah because of the definition of polygamy. They defined it as living together as if you are married. Mike points out that what people do with their personal lives is their business. What if the neighbors bring home a bunch of people to have sex? Does it change their lives? No!
