Episode 253: Boomer Doomer
Episode 253: “The Boomer Doomer”
This week Host Dave Bledsoe declares he is “working from home” only to spend the next twelve hours drunk at Applebees. (Again) On the show this week, we take a look at the phenomena of Baby Boomers being blase about Covid 19! (Grow up Mom and Dad!)
Along the way we examine the root cause of why so many at risk people don’t think this is such a big deal. (Hint: It’s on their TV right NOW) We wonder why the President is so BAD at, you know, EVERYTHING and why he thinks he doesn’t need to worry about the virus. (Hint: It’s on his TV RIGHT NOW!) Then we examine the cruel, mean spirited and wrong things the Young People are calling this disease, like Boomer Remover. Which is not at all funny young man! (It is kinda funny!) Finally, we wrap up with the only thing that can save us from ourselves: Rita Wilson and Tom Hanks. (Praise them, you BEST be praising them!)
Our Sponsor this week is Bacardi 151, it’s BACK just in time to cure what ails you. We open with the only alcohol stronger than 151 and close with The Sheepdogs begging our parents to do better.
