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!
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
Hang on to your collective hat this week well wishing listener; DJAMM has a blues song dug from the smoky, Okie archives of blues legends, “Jumpin’ Dog” Asoka Mayo, and the tragically tuned tonsils of Bill “Horseapple Willie” Long, to hear The School Bond Blues.” This crackly, echo-some platter hits home with some of the same issues our community faced in the last weeks. You can’t afford to miss it.
DJ and the MadMan also touch on the beautiful bugs of Oklahoma and confirm a long held folk legend about katydids and Plantar’s warts. Black humor horror and B cult movies round out the menu for tonite’s tunesome tribute. Seriously tho folks. Doc wails on some improv blues while MadMan TEARS UP the acoustic that lives with Ghostly Odie in our own blues studio ! Keep and open mind and a good sense of humor for this one, folks ! It’s liable to to viral ! Good Evenin’ ! – DJAMMin’ foa Shoa !!!

When you cross a Red Herring with a stretchy-snake and cap it all off with a bronze statue bound for the cemetery… well, there’s bound to be a solid joke in there summerz’… or some where’s ! MadMan charges Doc with the challenge of reaching back into their respective childhoods on the anniversary of Doc’s six-tuple heart bypass surgery, praising his Maker, friends and all the folks who held up prayers. On a lighter note, Six Flags the multi-legged calf has found a happy home on the road with a traveling family show. Who knows? She’ll probably be the first many be-legged bovine to brave the beaches, bars and bright lights of the big cities in North America ! We gape and gander at our orange haired leader as he barks and bloviates on every subject from the “very fine people” of the less-than-savory groups who holler about keeping Civil War statues and the funky haired Supreme Leader of the Noff Korean peninsula.
We look at these things, the failed toys of yester-yore and various and assundried thangs that make our days worthwhile on this fine planet.
Join us as we DJAMM it another night, another week, another round of double-speak ! Dr. Jeffrey and the MadMan ! YOWZAHHH !
“A funny thing happened on the way to the Space Shuttle launch… ” Yep, as a feller or gal might imagine we have a friend and cousin who worked on the space shuttle program. Cousin Patty from Cincinatti visited with us about her time as a quality engineer for that batch of flying machines, and she shares her experiences with us. Patti was a California girl for most of her life, lived in the desert near the legendary Coachella Valley. We hear about citrus, and gila monsters; golf resorts, the best airports and how a longhorn sheep snorts when they come down in the middle of the Bob Hope Classic. Join us as Patty tells us how dates DO grow on trees … but not the kind you have to meet someone’s Mom and Dad over. All this, the latest on Rock the Equinox, How to Grease Your Flamethrower without shutting it down, and a test on MadMan’s memory about the International Space Station on tonight’s Dr. Jeffrey and the MadMan ! We Be DJAMMIN’ !! = Doc AND MadMan ~ !
