  Episode #145

  Breaking Eggs and Making Omelets

  Aug 16, 202650 min

  As it's August and there's not much going on in the news, I figured this would be a good time to address some of your questions. What listeners want to know are my latest thoughts regarding immigration, if I'm sorry I voted for Donald Trump and if I think the country is on the brink of civil war. There is also an excess of headlines that include frozen eggs, horny middle school teachers, hired hitmen, Nancy Pelosi, the potential disappearance of gravity, an Iranian black widow and so much more. My cultural recommendation is Woody Allen's Love and Death, which ranks as one of his three best films as far as I'm concerned. And I finish with a brief update on the WNBA and their inability to define what a woman is. Enjoy!

  Five-Foot-Tall Man Takes the Fifth

  Aug 8, 202645 min

  In this episode, after a brief review of my recent three-day cruise, I focus on the COVID lockdown and Dr. Anthony Fauci's role. I go over the contradictions between his public statements and what he really believed as written in his diary. There is lie, after lie, after lie, and in between we find out how happy he was to be getting so much positive attention. His taking the fifth was disappointing, but he might very well have to deal with a charge of contempt of Congress. We'll see. There is also a constellation of headlines that include an impatient senior citizen, a bear in a hot tub, deaths due to explosive diarrhea, a beagle, a 350-pound teacher, a former child pop star and so much more. I talk about one of my favorite comedies as my cultural recommendation and finish up with the continuing saga of Sophie Cunningham and the WNBA. Enjoy!

  Episode #143

  Surpriiiiiise!

  Jul 30, 202629 min

  I'm back from the ranch and decided I'd provide you, my loyal listeners, with a bonus episode prior to departing on my Caribbean cruise. It is an abbreviated episode however, as you're only getting headlines and a three-minute drill. More on that in a bit. The headlines include the usual cast of characters including Joe Biden, a male nurse, Rhode Island crytid fetishists, circus performers, a Florida mom, a Florida man, a mime and so much more. The three-minute drill includes the songs listed below (you'll have to listen to make the connection). Hong Kong Gardens by Souixsie and the Banshees, I Am a Scientist by Guided by Voices, Cindy Incidentally by Faces, Gidget Goes to Hell by The Suburban Lawns, To Sir with Love (including versions by both Lulu and the Trashcan Sinatras), Mississippi Queen by Mountain, Waterloo by ABBA, Panic by The Smiths, Bizarre Love Triangle by New Order, I Get Around by The Beach Boys, In God's Country by U2, Fire by the Jimi Hendrix Experience, Kind of a Drag by The Buckinghams, There She Goes by the La's, Town Called Malice by The Jam, White Rabbit by The Jefferson Airplane, California Dreamin' by The Mama's and the Papa's, You Really Got Me by The Kinks, Eruption by Van Halen and Communication Breakdown, Good Times Bad Times and The Immigrant Song, all by Led Zepplin. And I conclude with some praise for a WNBA baller. Enjoy!

  Episode #142

  A Founding Fathers Redux

  Jul 21, 202645 min

  In this episode I posit what I believe would be the founders view of present-day America. And it's not your imagination if what I portray as their views hew very close to my own. Consider this episode the third of a trilogy, along with Ode to the Semiquincentennial and Mr. Contrarian Goes to Washington. There are a wad of headlines as well that include arsonist dogs, Pickleball players, Florida executions, out for blood beavers, an old man's encounter with a bison, criminal orcas and so much more. And also a cultural recommendation. My favorite song of Peter Gabriels solo career. Enjoy!

  Episode #141

  Mr. Contrarian Goes to Washington

  Jul 12, 202652 min

  In this episode I provide you with a travelogue of my recent trip to the nation's capital. I share with you why each time I visit DC I get hyper emotional about the founders and our country. There are a profusion of headlines that include explosive diarrhea, Joe Biden, nude bikers, plague infested rats, Santa Claus, pride revelers, toddlers come back from the dead and so much more. In the spirit of independence, this episode's cultural recommendation is the film 1776. A musical featuring our founding fathers singing and dancing their way into the Revolutionary War. I apologize if the audio quality isn't up to snuff as I seem to be having some issues with my microphone. Enjoy!
