The Dave Bowman Show

The subject of gas lighting has become the topic du jour among chat shows these days. Mostly because the so-called leaders of the nation decided to float a trial balloon. Of course, the real problem is our worship of celebrity and powerful characters who don't just expect our worship, they absolutely demand it. In the meantime, you will be happy to know that the Presidents Corvette is safe and sec...

Back in 2014, Kevin fox and I had an interview with a guy who was talking about the coming California ark storm. At the time it seemed surreal and hard to imagine such a thing ever happening. Today though... that storm is not just here, but it's causing all the chaos that was predicted long ago. Seattle City schools is suing social media. All of it. why? Because, the district claims that the vario...

In many ways, the United States always resembled republican Rome. By the last half of the first century bce, the republic was teetering on the edge. Corrupt politics, mounting debt to fund foreign wars, societal breakdowns that left long held traditional values in disrespect and disregard left the every day Roman wondering if the world had gone completely mad? As we look around our nation today, t...

Dave is rather ill this morning. It goes back to yesterdays episode of WTF, but the bottom line is that he will only get through two of a planned three segments today. Still, it's time for the WA State Legislative Democrats to FAFO!

Welcome to 2023. New year, same old weirdness. Telephone Operators who man the 4-1-1 lines are now out of a job. We have a big list of things that will probably happen in 2023. Or not. The Two Princes of England has us rooting for Oliver Cromwell to make a comeback. No matter what Tik Tok tells you, putting potatoes in your socks is stupid. Almost as stupid as people who call 9-1-1 (which we shoul...

Way back in 1972, Ricky Nelson, a superstar of 50’s and 60s music, played a gig at Madison Square Gardens in New York. A weird thing happened that night. Despite the attendance of other musical stars and celebrities, the crowd was… well… not impressed with the set list Ricky had prepared for the evening. The basically booed him off the stage. A few weeks later, Nelson released what is arguably his...

CONSTITUTION THURSDAY In ancient Greek legend, Theseus was a brave man who travels to the island of Crete, where he defeats the Minotaur. In a legendary battle, Theseus saves the children of his King, destroys the evil beast, and returns to his father aboard a the same ship in which he had left for Crete. He forgets to change the sail from black to white, and thus even in triumph, as is so typical...

It's only the morning of the 4th day of the year and already chaos is reigning. From the Monday Night Football scare, to the Congressional Speaker of the House election that wasn't, we see a lot of stuff happening in the nation. Including the return of the Praying Bremerton High School football coach. Or... not?

George Santos is the most infamous man in America today. In case you've been under a rock, he was just elected to congress, but... it turns out that HE LIED ON HIS CV! In more than two centuries of congressional candidates running to serve the nation out of a sense of duty and honor, this has NEVER EVER, happened before! Right?

Happy New year? I mean, that's what I am supposed to say, right? So I said it... but really is there all that much to be looking forward to in 2023? We're going to endure the opening moves of the 2024 Presidential campaign, which, by the by, will include a lot of Trump vs the Democrats and the GOP. The war in Ukraine will drag on, even as American dollars pay for all that death and destruction. Ta...

Rabbi Dave, Friar Rod and Baptist Billy get together on the most joyous of days (Festivus) to rant and praise the best and the worst of the Holiday Season. Whether it's TV or films or food or just their holiday plans, whatever happens, PLEASE DO NOT CALL THE COPS!!!!!!

NOTE: The dental procedures have begun, and as George S Patton once said, no plan survives first contact with the enemy. In literally the first minute, the decision was made to change directions and try something else first. Already the planned procedures have changed. So literally I have no idea what will happen next or when, except that it will not be before February of 2023. Thank you for the e...

It’s a cold snowy day up here in the Pacific Northwest. Grab a cup of coffee and let’s spend it talking history! Some months ago we had a caller to BML complaining that “only three or four guys actually did anything” with regard to the Revolution and the Constitution. It’s a common misconception, but why we think that way is a bigger question. Is it simply ignorance, or is it something… else? Ther...

On Monday, Deceber 19, 2022 at just around 2pm (CST), we will our baby sister, Deanna Rae Bowman, to her final rest. Our family continues to be grateful for the support in prayer and thoughts from so many this difficult year. Out of necessity – at first – and then from her amazing, resilient spirit Dede was the heart of our family. And I am certain, she would want us to continue to grab the hat. A...

It has been an up and down week, with Dave's misadventures under Nitrous Oxide and Rods delicious deflowering when it comes to Little Debby's Christmas Tree cakes! The annual tradition of taking a look at the crazy Hallmark Christmas/Holiday flicks is back. This year with diversity! This year the boys look to Artificial Intelligence to create the PERFECT Hallmark christmas flick - "The HALLMARK HO...

The Methodist church is splitting apart, which momentarily will distract the good Friar and Rabbi Dave from the bigger issues of the day, such as the Britney Griner trade and the Twitter files. But even none of that should distract from the major accomplishment of this show, what the frock, achieved in 2022!!! (three exclamation show, so you know that we mean it)

Friar Rod and Rabbi Dave are deeply concerned that the true reason for the season has been... well... lost. They are also worried about the lack of Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes in the Central Valley of California. The World Cup is over for the United States, but NOT for the nation of Croatia. The locals in Qatar don't really like Croatia's biggest star, or the football team either. The Mayan...

Eric and Dave are just hanging out on watch in the Missile Control Center when Jesse from sonar walks in to shoot the breeze. The topics range all over, from space travel to World War III.

I was watching some Television over the weekend when I came to a realization that for some reason, had never completely struck me before. As you know, I love me some history, and the program I was watching dealt with one of the most evil figures in history, involved in one of the darkest moments in history. But what struck me wasn’t how terribly monstrous this fellow had been (he’s dead now). It w...

NOTE: iHeart had computer issues this morning, forcing the show to be done via telephone with the attendant reduced audio quality. One week after the assassination of President Kennedy, now President Lyndon Johnson issued an Executive Order which announced the formation of the President’s Commission on the Assassination of President Kennedy. It would carry the nickname “the Warren Commission,” and...

Eric and Dave are back! Eric's knee adventures are... well.. not over, but all your prayers, and all of Dave's thoughts, have done a lot of good! Best Holiday on the boat? Easy! It was Thanksgiving. The food was great and the Fire Control System could be put into "Auto" so more plates of delicious food could be loaded up. Whatever you do, DO NOT FRY YOUR TURKEY!!!!!

November 22nd, 1963, was a seminal day in American history. Every American alive that day can tell you about their own experience of it, and even those born long after can – and do – discuss and debate it. For myself, November 22nd represented a trajectory change in my own future and passions. The day led directly to my own career behind a microphone, which continues to this day. for others it rep...

After a rough start to the day – or in Friar Rod’s case, a continuation of the previous evening – the boys are pleased that Congress is finally addressing the most serious issue facing our nation today – Taylor Swift Tickets! The World Cup begins today. Until a couple of days ago nobody actually cared. But now, Qatar has decided that unless you happen to be a wealthy oil sheik, you cannot have a b...

By the middle of November, speeches were being made and response were being written. James Wilson’s speech in Pennsylvania had caused a great stir, and Cato’s letter was still starting debates in New York. But not everybody was in agreement with Cato’s concerns. As we have seen Cæsar was rather snarky in his idea that Cato should just shut up and go along with the Constitution, lest the “American...

Back in August when we left the story, the US Navy had just suffered its worst ever blue water defeat. More than a thousand Allied sailors were dead. Four Heavy Cruisers had been lost, with a fifth disabled. The Navy, along with the American public, had been stunned by the loss, less than a year after the disaster at Pearl Harbor. Just three months later, on the night of November 13/14, 1942, the...
