KOMO News did a story about a local lawyer who took a stand by bringing his hand gun to a West Seattle community center. The kicker, the center is a gun free zone. Are gun free zones an infringement upon our rights?

Sesame Street

1,2,3… 40 years! Thanks Count. Sesame Street is turning 40, conservatives think it’s liberal trash and we have the audio to prove it!

Sarah Palin

This email confirms it: “Mouthing Off, Sarah confirmed you as a friend on Facebook.” She might change her mind after she hears what MO thought of one the comments she made to Barbara Walters.

Starting with this show, we here at Mouthing Off have decided to highlight a new local band every week. This weeks band: Bench Grinder from Renton. Enjoy!

Boeing and who’s to blame… the union, the state or the company? Carson said only one of the three made the decision:  the company, which based their decision on Greed! Kevin said it was a little more complicated and blah, blah.

Greed: David Spade

Have you seen the David Spade/Chris Farley Direct TV commercial? Something about the ad troubled Carson, in which David Spade came off as grimy. But greed is good right? Kevin defended the practice, and ‘played’ dumb.

Dating Short People & The 80s

Carson and Kevin sometimes pretend they are friends with women. They reference an article on Lemon Drop’s website: “Would You Date a Guy Shorter Than You?” Kevin had no problem dating a tall girl, Carson does.  Plus, witness Kevin fail for the first time at 80s sitcom theme song fun!

Carson and Kevin talk about Halloween, why people like to be scared, how big the holiday has become and personal Halloween traditions. They also speak with a “peasant” from the Camlann Medieval Village about their upcoming All Hallows Feast.

Worst Celebrity Parents: The List

To honor Balloon Boy’s parents,  we found 15 parents who in theory are worse… but probably not.

So Carson is a fan of the kid on the lamb, and compares Colt to Robin Hood and others. Kevin wants him brought in. They talked about the different reactions from Facebook to KOMO, while revealing information about the barefoot bandit. Carson called those who are quick to demonize the kid, geezers who’s sense of adventure is dead.

Pill makes them crazy, The Proof!

New evidence that the pill changes women who take it. Women are less likely to want manly men when on the pill, instead they prefer metrosexuals, emos and pretty boys. Carson takes a victory lap, claiming it was the proof to his assertion weeks before.

Columbus Bad Bad Man, NOT

Should we teach elementary kids about the bad side of Christopher Columbus or just tell them the good stuff. You’ll never guess who says teach tem only the good….

Kevin’s 80s love, 1 more time

After some tech issues, 3 more theme songs from 80s sitcoms for Kevin to guess, sing along, list factoids, and tell us why the show mattered. Kevin is 3 for 3 again this week proving he is totally awesome.

Spanking Drops IQ

A new study out says spanking your kid drops IQ 5 points. We love smart kids but we love to spank what is the right choice? The study says never ever, ever spank – oh no it’s worst than tuna without dolphin.  

The Pill makes them Crazy

While at a social engagement, Carson dropped ease on a gaggle of women (drinking wine) who among other things were all on a kick of stopping the pill. They admit outside of men, it makes them crazy and now a study brings the science. Is this true?

Message over Method

In Mt. Vernon many came to celebrate and protest Glenn Beck. Carson proclaimed a couple of things, 1) Protesting is a waste of time, unless you are homeless. 2) Conservatives do not care what someone does if they are conservative,… lie, cheat or steal it is okay as long as they are heterosexual and vote GOP.

Epic Fail

A mini-rant on wisdom verse intelligence, and where wisdom is found which Carson says is with failure. Speaking of failure and wisdom, he had fun with speed metal and PSAs from the 80s.

Andy Rooney’s voice, “Don’t you hate it when,….” You are traveling, and you find yourself in a swim up bar in another country, and two other Americans, one from Texas and one from New Jersey are arguing football so loud, other people leave the pool. One of the hosts of Mouthing Off does. How do you handle rude people?

Whack a Seagull

It’s that time of year, where antacids are selling like food on a stick. Carson and Kevin went through a list of the best fair food. Kevin had a foodgasum.

Vacation from Health

Carson’s on vacation. Kevin just got back from his. Most of his vacation time was spent eating and drinking and eating and eating and eating… Maybe us Americans don’t have it so bad. What say you Tea Partiers?

Bloody Mary

Officials in Idaho are flirting with the idea of letting officers draw blood to test for alcohol and drugs during DUI stops… even of they need to use force to get it done! Would you be okay with this in your state?

Interweb New$

Would you be willing to pay for news online? Jon and Greg, two techies from www.stackofdimes.com, joined Kevin to give their two cents on whether this is a good idea or not.

Crazy Stories

Rodney King versus the police part 2, hot ATM robbing vixens and the world’s fastest hermaphrodite… Need we say more?

Both Carson and Kevin crossed the bridge to tan or not before vacation. Real men have problems tanning, or at least Carson does. Kevin has never fake-n-baked but he did smear on a bronzer to avoid ridicule. The answer to the question to fake tan or real burn was decided…

Cougars

A 140 lb Cougar was pulled out of Discovery Park in Seattle. A 160 lbs Cougar was named Miss Cougar of 2009. Both cougars prove Bigfoot is real. For the proof you’d have to listen.

Obama’s School Address

President Obama is addressing the children; many on the right are using the Hitler comparison. What gives? Carson and Kevin rolled their shoulders with wonder, and asked the conservatives to explain themselves.

9-11 and YOU

With 9-11 coming up how do you remember or acknowledge the event. Glenn Beck is fasting and praying, while making a political football out of the day. Obama is urging a National Day of Service. Who looks worse?

The most fundamental question ever! Is man good or evil? All the heavy weight thinkers have battled this one, from Plato to Hobbs, now Carson solo tries his left hook. Man is good, Carson is not.

Healthcare: Throwing bombs

Carsonasks conservatives ‘is it broken?’ Do you think with anger or hate? Is socialism a dirty word? Why are 40 types of socialism okay to you but not healthcare? 45 minutes of poking in the eye.

Carson’s been conned by Michael Vick, so says Kevin who thinks it’s terrible that the quarterback is being allowed back in the league to play football. Carson and Kevin punted hot potatoes around: Is he truly sorry? Should he be let back to play? Is dog fighting cultural? What would you take to believe him?

Weighting Profits

Carson and Kevin spoke with Jake Paikai, the 600+ lb PLU student who was denied a gastric bypass surgery by his insurance company. Jake felt his life was in jeopardy so he created a website to help gather funds for the $60-$90K surgery. Should his insurance company pay?

HPD declares a taser a deadly weapon… but only when used against police. Carson’s long running battle against the often used police weapon continues.

Health Care & Carson Surprise Surgery

Carson told Kevin about his ordeal with private health care through the lens of his latest experience. Two visits to a doctor and a surgeon, hard palate is cut open, grape sized masses taken out, insert pain. The two doctors prior tried to insist, antibiotics would do the trick. Yay free market. Would you rather know you are going to have surgery or not when you wake up? That and, should free market health care back organ tracking? Is that good?
