Who the heck is Mike, you ask?  We don't know him personally, and that isn't his real name, but Ray showed him one heck of a last day and tells the tale during Ray's Segment.  You gotta hear the story about Mike and his farewell podcast.

We drink some Lucky Buddha brand beer tonight, and apologize for the first time we tried to record episode #45.  Yes, this is take two of number 45.  We discuss Taco Bell sauce packets and the witty sayings they have emblazoned upon them.

In the second segment MCLG calls in and Ray tells the story of Mike's Last, Great Adventure.  It's such an awesome trip I wish I was Mike.  Except for the being dead part.

In the final segment we cover news of the weird, bizarre, and heinous.  From amputees falling out of roller coasters to Kingman scumbags shooting Bumblebee in the heart to Emo douchebags holding up lemonade stands, there's something for everyone.  

Give this show a listen, it's one of our best!

Hidden in this 4th of July episode is our funniest bit ever.  I'll let you know when we get to it, but first we kick off the show, as always, with what we're drinking and this time it's Ska Brewing's Mexican Logger.  We talk about why some might be offended by the can's original logo and also how tasty and refreshing this Mexican style lager is on a humid day.

We light off some sparklers and play R. Kelly's badly remixed National Anthem to say Happy Birthday to America.  We question the wisdom of making legal the sale of fireworks but not their use.  Chuy D calls in briefly and then we do something we haven't done in a few episodes:  play a game.  Ray is quizzed on the similairities between the names of fireworks and the names of sex toys.

After the first break song, The Refreshments' "Buy American" we get a pair of phone calls.  First MCLG calls in with a Knock Knock joke and then Jonathan calls with an actual phone call from the Bay Area.  We talk beer, weather and chicks with Theremins.

Here it is.  After Jonathan hangs up we launch into the first ever "Ray's Segment" and the inaugural one is a doozy.  Ray steps up to the whiteboard and explains, with diagrams, how the human female reproductive system is laid out and how it functions.  If you haven't caught the video, just scroll down.  From now on, if Ray doesn't have a bit ready he'll have to step up to the 2 dimensional White Board (DDWB) and scientifically explain something.  If you have ideas for Ray's Segment, email them to DoubleDPodcast@gmail.com or call them in to 4242 DRUNKS (424-237-8657).

The second break song is The Refreshments' "Mexico"

In our last segment we do something we NEVER do - get serious.  We don't like to do this, as it's just not our style, but it was such an important news story to our hometown of Flagstaff that it HAD to be mentioned at least briefly.

Read the news story here.

The Refreshments close out the show with "Suckerpunch"

This is the first "Ray's Segment" ever and it may well be the last, because there's no way we could ever top this.  Ray walks up to the 2 dimensional White Board (DDWB) and with marker in hand he draws the female reproductive system and explains scientifically how babies are made.  Kind of.

We enjoy delicious Breckenridge Summer Bright Ale during this episode.  It's cool and refreshing and it definitely helped us get through another sweltering, swamplike recording session in the Double D Studio.

We begin by briefly discussing the Riordan Gig, an annual fundraiser for the Riordan Mansion here in Flagstaff that this year was good enough to have Distraction and the Electric Army perform there, two music groups that are friends of the show.  Also at the Riordan Gig:  massive Ricola Horns.  I'm sure there is a real, proper name for them, we just don't know what that is.  We do know how long they are, however.

We introduce a new segment that will help open every show from now on - Salud!  Feel free to email, call or post on our Facebook page anyone or anything you would like us to raise a glass to.  This week we say "Salud!" to Cardo for his 45th birthday and to friend of the show Jay on his (possible?) marriage.

The subject of Flagstaff being coated in yellow dust comes up next.  It's tree pollen (pine cum) and it's everywhere.  Yerrow Rung.

Music from Roger Clyne and the Peacemaker's new album "Unida Cantina" is played during this epidsode.  The first break song is "Heaven On a Paper Plate"

Chuy graces the wall of the studio with a terrific penis doodle he scribbled during the break.  This leads to the topic of circumcision and whether or not that is private information.  Zen shares another dream, this time of a point-of-view blowjob gone horribly wrong.  Three celebrity women are discussed next:  Rosie Huntington Whiteley, Shania Twain and Amanda Bynes.  Another Salud! is raised, this time for dead celebrity Ryan Dunn.  We play the easiest Movie Title Trivia Game ever, titled "What's the name of that movie, the one with . . ." and we discuss "3D Sex and Zen" and how this fits into the timeline of the evolution of Porn.

Second break song - "Dinero"

MCLG calls in to sing a little "FU" to her amorous adversary, "Cherrie"  We talk about what happened recently in Flag-town, namely the "Pride in the Pines" event.  This becomes a smallish trivia game involving the names of Gay Bars in movies and we wrap up the show with a listing of cool Drag Queen Names.

Final Song - "Empty Highway"
