Giving my view on the Glamour article "50 Things Men Are Afraid to Ask for (but Really Want Super-Duper Badly)" on today's episode. I agree with some but think some are absolutely stupid.

Late night has me worried that the listeners might think I'm having a stroke on the show today. Fantastic dinner at my new favorite restaurant in Kansas City last night with friends from my professional world. Also got into a Facebook debate after getting home last night about DUI checkpoints with a stranger online and against the standard Facebook protocol of arguing with strangers on the platform we didn't call each other horrible names. I thought civil debating on Facebook was a myth? Apparently not, and that gives me hope in you people.

And no plans for the coming up Labor Day weekend except adding a few more people to my DTM list.

There isn't a better way to get right down into your soul trying to understand your id and your ego then taking a Buzzfeed.com online 30 question quiz. When you can't afford therapy, just use Buzzfeed quizzes. *Sarcasm* . On today's episode, I take a Buzzfeed quiz to discover how judgemental or pretentious I really am.

Overnight backyard camping sleepover at Danny Jacobs house in 1988 (I refer to 1986 in the episode but the correct time was fall of 1988) changed my life entirely in the world of music but also brought on a life of secrecy and hiding that love because of my fear of being judged by white & black people. Hip Hop & Grunge saved me from shitty music.

I've unfriended, unfollowed, blocked, and I believe about everything I can do to keep my digital sanity up to this moment. Its just been a constant daily bombardment of a thousand opinions of the news, politics & pop culture from people I know and people I do not, it is becoming too much. I believe myself & others are losing empathy. I miss the days where I didn't have to know about my friends & family's inner thoughts. Not knowing what everyone thought all the time about everything was so peaceful. That an old friend is a racist, a cousin being a self-proclaimed victim, a former coworker a liar, or a new friend being bat-shit crazy. Facebook and the Internet, in general, is just dumping way too much information on me. Is it time to unplug, or drain more opinion information on you all, the listeners of the Everyone Needs a Little podcast? :)

We sure live in the past when it comes to a lot of the things we do for being a technologically advanced progressive society . There are so many old dumb traditional everyday things we do that don't make sense in today's world. Shaking hands, men taking their hats off, yelling "bless you" to someone who just sneezed are a few of the weird things we are programmed to do "to be polite" but have no rhyme or reason behind them.

While we're on that topic, instead of the term "Gentleman" can we substitute it with "decent human being" and drop some of the dumb stuff that has been labeled as "requirements to be a gentleman?"

Is it 2018? I think so.

Today's episode starts out strong with proving my old junior high math teacher completely wrong. We then move into a world of why you should be using Google more, maybe some aha moments in there for you (I fucking hope for my happiness) and how Google Home is one of the most significant amazing purchases I've made.

But then the episode takes a weird turn where I confess that I don't trust any of you, not one bit. But I still love you, want you to have a great day and keep smiling.

Since the beginning of civilization, there have always been people bitching that the current generation and world we know it is going up in flames. As lives progress, while some things change for the better and some change for the worse, loss aversion means that we pay much more attention to the bad stuff. So overall, people think life as we know it is getting worse & they blame it on the current generation. Spouting off about how things were so amazing "back in the day." This way of thinking is called declinism, and it is complete bullshit false "fake news" way of thinking. Complaining about the current generation is tacky AF. If you suffer from declinism chances are you are pumping a low octane fuel into your self-worth tank. Thank God I'm here to save you & myself.
