Episode 13 – Anita Tequila

Chicago restaurants reopened on June 26 – Buzz was too nervous to call and find out if his favorite Mexican restaurant was still in business, so he asked Johnny to do it. He did, and met Anita, the most excited waitress ever. We discuss how masks are dividing Americans, eavesdrop on a listener, catch a few stories before they fall through the cracks, and more. Plus: there’s a possible new sponsor for the show, but Buzz has to “trim it up” before they pay up.

Episode 12 – Come On Get Happy

JB and Buzz talk about the crazy new NBA rules. JB reads emails from Everywhere, USA, including Utah, where he couldn’t get a drink without a “sponsor.” According to a new poll, America’s unhappy, a sheriff’s unhappy when she can’t get an Egg McMuffin, a listener’s unhappy with Johnny, and some are still unhappy with Nickelback! In honor of Father’s Day: a special Loon Dad edition of “Don’t Call Us, We’ll Call You,” JB plays some calls he made to his dad and ends with the song he wrote about him after he passed away…oh pish posh.
