OUR_Ep_09_LGBT discrimination and soda bans

March 14, 2013

Johnny McKeon and Sascha Blume start the show with Professional Boxer Curtis Woodhouse (21-4, 11 Knockouts) who hunts down a “Keyboard Karate Kid” who trolled him on twitter. The news then shifts to a homeless man who took up residency as a fake doctor in Kentucky and Sascha theorizes the use of Robitussin as a Hobo Melody.

Johnny informs Sascha of the threat of Ukrainian Commando dolphins that went AWOL in search of mates. According to the news reports these particular dolphins are trained in the use of special knives and firearms to kill enemy divers. They are also adept in the use of explosives to sink enemy ships.

Sascha explains his love hate relationship with Howard Stern and the controversy surrounding Howard’s response to the rumors surrounding his potential candidacy as a replacement for Jimmy Fallon.

Twitter sensation Rob Delaney’s public attempts to censor his own material after he bombs on Jimmy Kimmel leads Johnny to wonder if an artist should own a public failure or try to remove it from the internet. In this day and age is it better to silence a failure or put your name on it.

The boys listen to audio of New York City’s mayor, Mike Bloomberg’s stance on the soda ban and Mississippi’s retaliation to the proposed ban on Soda Pop. Sascha plays audio from Utah State Senator James Dabakis and informs the listeners of the current state of anti-discrimination laws involving the LGBT community.

They close out the show with the Comedy Corner featuring the greatest comedian of all time, Richard Pryor. Johnny and Sasha talk about what made Richard great, his film career, his drug addiction, and his final days battling Multiple Sclerosis. All this and more on Ol’ Ute Radio with Johnny McKeon and Sasha Blume.
