Get Home Safe

Today is definitely a show of venting. Yes, my LA Rams are struggling but that's not what I'm most upset about. I challenge the conspiracy theorists out there to put their money where their mouth is. If you knew what was going to happen or will happen in the future, then why don't you place a bet on it? Similar to politicians with mask mandates, could it be that you actually don't believe your logic or lack thereof? Another thing I'm annoyed about is setting clocks a few minutes early. Time only changes twice a year and we live in a time management pandemic of the non-punctual. I also vent about the movement to make the violent sport of football unrecognizable and ask why are we so terrified of seeing injuries when they are simply part of the game?

The first show of October has a wide range of topics. I open with a tragic story involving a member of the local Citrus College football team. I transition to baseball talk as the MLB Postseason gets under way this weekend. I have some opinions on the Tua injury discussion as well as the Brady/Gisele divorce speculation. There is plenty to vent about regarding the recent pitiful performance by my Los Angeles Rams in their game against the rival San Francisco 49ers. Finally, I end the show with a segment called Popular Things I Don't Like!

I have multiple rants today where I demand change, listening to reason, and thinking for ourselves. I make an argument that one NFL team has a truly insensitive mascot name that is appalling in 2022. President Biden has declared the pandemic is over, but for most of us it has been for quite some time. ESPN continues to show their incompetence with a story regarding BYU and Oregon from Saturday. We have all dated people we know we shouldn't have and perhaps it is the perfect analogy for the love affair involving running quarterbacks in the NFL. Happy birthday to my old man, Dave Heersema!

I react to the first weekend of NFL games and USC's fast start. I am super fired up for the Sun Belt Conference making some huge noise with three big upsets as well. Why do certain fan bases go into hiding for six months and then pop out to run their mouths when their teams are irrelevant? I also explain why it was perfectly acceptable for Seahawk fans to boo Russell Wilson in his return to Seattle on Monday night. Other random topics include posting a flag for big cities facing crime, one group of people that annoys me, and some useful household hacks. 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY VALERIE BYRNES!

As football is about to return at all levels, I lay out a few rules to live by for the best time of the year. It may seem like I'm only kidding, but there is plenty of truth in these policies. I give my take on finally seeing Top Gun Maverick and offer why a new show needs to step their game up. I also recently saw Operation Flagrant Foul as well as the Joe Rogan interview of Aaron Rodgers and have strong opinions on both. Every football fans needs an air fryer; it will change your game snacking forever. Finally, beware of truth being disguised as lies and vice versa.

I ramble about the recent news of student loan forgiveness and how we should apply this to other areas of our lives. I also can't believe how inconsiderate and disrespectful people can be when someone is addressing a group of others. In honor of the summer coming to a close, I offer up my 10 most memorable experiences from my summers over the years. Additionally, with football season about to start, I share a list of the 10 most memorable fields I officiated on throughout my career and why each one is special. Don't miss all the upcoming coverage on the Charge To Keep podcast with the Rio Hondo Prep season kicking off tomorrow!

After a two week hiatus, I start off our new Thursday episode format with a wide range of topics. We open with a tragic story out of Texas involving parents fighting at a nine year old football game that ended in murder. Why is this not a bigger story and why has youth sports deteriorated so much? I also ramble about pizza math, a technique for binging a list of shows, and reasons to outlaw the snooze button. Additionally, I share an experience during a hospital visit that got my blood boiling. Questions answered during the show: When does Covid end? Were those censored right the whole time? What is an "underrepresented" group? Why do women refer to their friends as "girlfriends?" How are scars way cooler than tattoos?
