Hey ! Has anybody seen my Sweet Gypsy Rose? Who exactly ARE the gypsies anyway, and what do they do? Where did they come from? Do we know any? Doc and the MadMan discuss all of these things, including their history, their DNA make up, what they do and have done for a living and their rich and varied MUSICAL traditions and abilities ! For the Slam Fam Fans around tonite, we talk about the One and Only Great Andre the Giant and his massive paws. Casts of the big man’s hands, along with many others are scattered across the globe along with the legends of his super human exploits in the ring, on the barstool and sometimes even at the beach ! We sing a little Eagle song tonight, but not the Tony Orlando ditty we teased you with. lol. So hang in there, and give us a listen. ONE hour a day will make your long day more and more tolerable at work, home or in solitary confinement. DJAMM it when you CAN !
Tonight is a special night for DJAMM; an evening of firsts. It’s the night we begin our show with covers of favorite artists, tonight’s being “TULSA TIME” by Don Williams. We celebrate the work and life of the Gentle Giant himself, a reluctant superstar. We also think about the feasts and fowl of Thanksgiving, the coming Christmas season, and the interesting jobs either of us may have had, thought of having, or could never do. Join us tonight as we wail in the wake of Don’s passing; not actual woeful screeching, but our rendition of that country anthem that added a little more to the rural lore of our fair state. Join us tonight as we talk about the Mad Fam’s visit to Tinker AFB‘s air and space museum, have a bite of our favorite calzone from Total Express in Big Stig and back off just to jaw and reflect on a week, a life, a perspective of the world rarely seen outside of the podcast fantastical ! DJAMM IT, good folks !

There is an old tale goes something like this: A team of anthropologists are searching through some ancient ruins in the desert when they come across a tablet with some indecipherable runes written on it. So they took the rock tablet back to London and ran it through their best teams of experts, and after years of study, countless hours of research, it was determined that the tablet was six thousand years old and was written in
a tongue known to be unique to mothers and fathers of the day. It’s message? “Kids today ! The world is going to hell in a handbasket if they’re left to run it ! “
Now while Doc and MadMan may have taken a bit of license in the telling, this story is supposed to be mostly true, and yes, these thousands of years later, we’re STILL saying it about OUR kids !
MadMan’s own Mad Mia is an especially bright and talented child in her own right, and while we have no doubt that she will wind up doing a great job in the White House someday, she too is one of that infamous group of texting, gaming, slacking, never hacking kids we know now as the M’s. DJAMM takes a hard gander at this group tonight, the things they love, despise and all those things that make them unique and wise. We also think about a Haskell County Native, Chris O’Dell of Keota fame and her amazing life with John, Paul, Gio and Ringo during their heady years as the Fab Four. Leon Russell wrote a song about her – SO DID GEORGE HARRISON ! It all proves one thing: She was there, with the hair, mops, singles, bangles and all ! Dinner with Yoko, coffee with ‘The Mops.” It’s all there in her bio, “Miss Odell”. Check out these things and others with us on DJAMM’s November 2, 2017 version. WE BE DJMAMMIN!!
How high does a bird fly? How low is the ground? Would your wings break if you flew higher than the sky? How does the toughest eagle sound?
Well, we MAY not answer any of these questions on tonight’s podcast, but we do talk about a local teen’s passion for war planes, and an area native’s own collection of planes, helicopters and… well, everything.
provos
Tonight, MadMan’s daughter Mad Mia joins us and schools the world on the armaments and speeds of a number of the world’s historic fighting raptors. Special guest Stephen Fioretti graciously stops by with his encyclopedic knowledge of our area’s aviators, airplanes and whirlybirds he has known. Tis’ a blast, to be gassed by a jet plane from the past ! Check us out tonight with MadMan and the Doc. We Be DJAMMin’ on the fly, NO LIE !!! DJAMM IT TONIGHT !!!

IT seems to happen too often. We watch a beloved TV character on one evening of relaxing, then discover the next morning he or she has passed on. Actor John Dunsworth who played the lovable lush Lahey on TV’s Trailer Park Boys passed away on Wednesday according to family members. Doc and the MadMan say a heart felt goodbye to the man behind the man who kept Ricky in line, Bubbles in his storage building and Randy in cheeseburgers. RIP, Leahy. We gon’ miss you.
Tonight we also talk about the old cars from TPB, the ever bulky and timeless mid-1970s Chrysler New Yorkers. IN the same vein, we chat a bit about other old gaz gusslers of that excessively consumptive era and take a peek into the world of long haul truckers. All those things and MadMan’s latest jam on the intro and outro of our great show. Join us for a laugh tonight ! DJAMMin’ with Me and MadMan ! BE SWEET!!!
Yo… Well, turn out the lights… the party’s over. They say that all good things must end… BUT only til next year !
Rock the Equinox 2017 spun off this year with a half dozen great bands and an exponential number of great rock and roll fans. Tonight,MadMan and The Doc host three members of Claim Your Enemy who capped last Saturday’s performances with their spot on, hard rockin, skin bangin’ brand of alternative metal.
We also talk a little about pro wrestling, Neil DeGrasse Tyson, physicist, erstwhile wrestler and theoretical … something or another…
Drop in and listen as we plan a bit for next year, hit on the performances from this year and do one last tribute to the Late Great Tom Petty. IT’s this week’s version of DJAMM and we’re ALL OVER IT !!! – DJAMM!
Recipe for a great weekend: Find a dog, a couple of band moms, a “bam-ily” dinner and some die hard rock fans. Okay… not take them to the coolest little lake in Oklahoma. Not too big, not too small, beautiful setting. Now, bring a few hundred friends, some cool guitars and your most talented buddies with their love interests and mix them all together. Whatdya got ! ?? Rock the Equinox this weekend at Lake John Wells in Stigler ! Scorned, Solidify, Switchbach, Claim Your Enemy, Reliance Code & Vague Vendetta are all coming with their fan contingent to support, cheer on their friends and watch Fall take ahold of our fair segment of Oklahoma ! Also we say goodbye to a Rock legend… observe a moment of reverence for those affected most deeply by the Vegas shootings and talk a little bit about old police cars. We be Dr. Jeffrey and the MadMan, Baybeeee ! YEAHHH !!!! DJAMMITT ~~!!!
An orange cat with a Frisbee fixation. Pastries on Main. Concerts at the lake… does the fun never end in this town?? Doc and MadMan split the atom tonight and find the recipe for eternal life… wait…. that’s next week.
This week we spend some time at the re-vamped Roye Park where a new 9 hole disc golf course was recently installed. Fanciest think I’ve ever played upon, and I’ve been darn near to Enid ! We give the rundown before sundown on the sponsors for the Rock the Equinox concert on October 7 at our own under-sung swimming hole, Lake John Wells. Find a way to do those things before next week, or you’ll … be one who didn’t. lol

Rat and Rabbit, together again. When’s the last time you talked about flying saucers (REAL ones ! ), ATHs, also known as “all terrain heifers” – and the full blown hurricane known as Irma that’s bearing down on the Gulf? All jokes aside, we do a moment of reverence this evening for the folks who are suffering due to the recent hurricane in Houston, and show great appreciation for our remote but safe little state.
We give a great deal of time to the sport of “Disc Golf” or “Frisbee Golf”, as our little town recently has installed a respectable handful of very nice goals in Roye Park. We talk at length about the game, its origins, the people who popularized it and where she got her name. Grampa Brown imparts some living history with us in a story about a grist mill that sat where DJAMM Studios does today, and we catch up with Six Flags, the Seven Legged calf, soon to be a traveling icon of learning, leg churning and hay burning. Tune in tonite as we get it RIGHT. !! DJAMM IT !
