The Bob Rivers Show

Flipping parent/child roles, new Twisted Christmas Tune(?), Spike gets mushy @ Christmas and riled-up on Santos... and Andrew's flowing locks are just too damn pretty

Argentina is the happiest place on Earth. Pedro and Luciana Bartes join us live from Argentina, where they are drinking heavily and waving flags to celebrate the World Cup victory. We celebrate their US Citizenship, Livestream #4 shows off Ed Kelly’s podcast studio set- and to see him do his voices adds a new dimension. Songs we could never do today. Spike talks about how being woke would have neg...

Our 3rd Live Podcast recording starts with a topic Zip brought up weeks ago, that's just now becoming a household name. The FTX Collapse starring Sam Bankman Fried. Who's to blame? Is this just like Bernie Madoff, Enron, Theranos, and so many other swindles? Should Sam rot in prison? Bob asks the group, can you tell the difference between "Truth" and "Opinion". Turns out we're mostly good at the l...

We are all getting used to the new web interface (and seeing each other’s faces too). Bob and Zip start the show live from the big island of Hawaii and Worcester, MA. Ed Kelly and Spike O’Neill soon join in from Detroit and Seattle. Ed Kelly is making a killing this Holiday Season, in costume. But he’s no mall Santa- He’s the Grinch! It’s a serious costume (like being an alien in a Star Wars movie...

Testing 1 2 3. Nothing exciting here folks. We're publishing a quick little video to track and verify distribution and where's available. This will be removed from the feed.

Bob and Zip start the show with a delightful conversation with Downtown Joe Bryant, who has just returned from Las Vegas. Zip talks with Joe about what he does for a living… empowering the next generation of broadcasters. Is most audio content moving to add video, as we are planning to do? Joe says yes, but he needs a little time to get in shape for TV. And we talk on purpose about Donald Trump (s...

Tami Asars has finished the triple crown of long distance hiking, having just completed the Appalachian Trail (2,194.3 miles). She's also hiked The Pacific Crest Trail (2,650 miles), and the Continental Divide Trail (3,100 miles). Spike compares her to Forrest Gump, which believe it or not, is high praise from him! We review the number one lesson to be learned in the outdoors (spoiler alert: Delay...

Is Fox News throwing Donald Trump under the bus and then running over him repeatedly? And how is it that we are all so neatly divided into 49 point something percent against 49 point something percent? And why are we unable to vote electronically? Literally the entire world's banking is done that way? Bob and Lisa boycotted live television this week, watching a buzz worthy series on Apple TV. We b...

Elon Musk might just know what he’s doing with Twitter. Canada freezes gun sales, so do we care? Starbucks is the McDonalds of Coffee. Amazon has a new season of the popular show Bosch, with a twist. It has commercials! Bob is surprised that he and Lisa don’t mind. Are commercials the future of streaming tv? Ed reminisces about his stay at Casa De Rivers. Why Bob and Lisa moved to Las Vegas, and w...

Why do some people get their panties in a bunch over drag performers? Spike wants to untwist them for you. Tami Asars has completed about 1,800 miles of the 2,200 mile Appalachian trail, and is she getting tired? Ed gets stranded at an airport. Does his version of events sound plausible? We're taking an informal poll. Some people don't respond well to text. Not mentioning any names, Zip. Algorithm...

This week's show is really the Spike and Ed show, while Bob and Zip are entertained. Spike riffs with Ed Kelly's character impressions. You'll be convinced we know Sam Elliot. Spike loves confessing that he burned his childhood home to the ground, and his therapist says that explains a lot. Bob tries to figure out why he and Lisa are nomads, having moved into their 10th home in 40 years. Turns out...

We start with Ed Kelly having technical issues. Ordinarily we'd edit that stuff out. Spike is trying not to text his right wing radio cohosts. Is cheating and lying a part of human nature? What do baseball and chess have in common? (Spoiler Alert: Cheating and Lying). How drinking a beer can make you go viral? We talk more about moving our podcast to a video streaming software platform. We could g...
