WELL, I'VE MANAGED TO DO ANOTHER NAKED NEWS. YOU KNOW, THE FACT THAT THIS IS A HOBBY FOR ME THAT BRINGS ME TOTAL JOY IS LIKE SELF-REWARDING. MY INTENTION FAR EXCEEDS MY PRESENTATION. IF YOU'RE READING THIS, LISTEN TO THE DAMN SHOW!

I HAD A BALL DOING THIS NAKED NEWS. I ALWAYS START WITH TREPIDATION AND AS SOON AS I START RECORDING, I GET INTO THE FAMILIAR GROOVE I'VE BEEN DOING FOR 90 WEEKS IN A ROW. THEN, NAKED NEWS TAKES ON A LIFE OF ITS OWN AND FOR 30 MINUTES OR SO, I THINK THE WHOLE WORLD IS LISTENING TO ME. WHAT ARE YOU DOING RIGHT NOW?

MY LISTENERSHIP IS GROWING AND I AM FREAKING OUT. I AM DOING THIS THING, BECAUSE SOMEBODY HAS TO, AT LEAST IN MY MIND. I AM LIKE THE GUY IN "NETWORK", WHO CLASSICALLY SCREAMED OUT HIS WINDOW, " I AM AS MAD AS HELL AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE IT!"MAYBE, ONE DAY, THEY WILL FIND THESE NAKED NEWS PODCASTS AND CONSIDER THEM CLASSICS. OK, IT COULD HAPPEN. PLEASE, ENJOY THIS 89TH EPISODE.

I RECORDED THIS A DAY EARLIER THAN USUAL, BECAUSE THERE WAS TOO MUCH NEWS ALREADY. I COVER A LOT THIS TIME AND GET LOST IN MY OPINIONS AS USUAL. HONESTLY, THERE ARE SO MANY LESS SIGNIFICANT THINGS YOU COULD DO, RATHER THAN LISTEN TO NAKED NEWS. INVEST SOME TIME IN THE WORLD AROUND YOU.

THIS ONE IS LOADED WITH NEWS AND I DID MY BEST TO MAKE SENSE OF IT ALL AND PROBABLY TRIPPED UP PLENTY. FLAWS AND ALL, WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO HEAR STUFF LIFE THIS? THE ANSWER IS NO WHERE! GIVE A LISTEN.

I GOT A CONFESSION. I AM REALLY ENJOYING DOING NAKED NEWS. I NO LONGER CARE HOW I AM HEARD, AN COMPLETE ABDICATION OF SELF-CONSCIOUSNESS. I CARE ABOUT WHAT I HAVE TO SAY AND ITS INTEGRITY. IF I'M LYIN', I'M DYIN'. 

CHRIST, I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT TO SAY AT THIS POINT. THIS IS MY 85TH WEEKLY PODCAST AND FOR REASONS I CAN'T EXPLAIN, I FEEL DEDICATED TO DOING WHAT I AM DOING. I HAVE THIS FEELING IN MY GUT THAT IF I DON'T TELL YOU ABOUT SOME OF THE STUFF GOING ON IN THE WORLD, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HEAR ABOUT IT AND YOU SHOULD.

DEFINITELY A BIT LOOSER, IF YOU CAN BELIEVE THAT. FELT A LITLE SHORT ON NEWS, BUT LONG ON HAVING TO EXPRESS WHAT IS GOING ON AROUND US, HAVING STEERED CLEAR IN PRIOR PODCASTS. JUST ONE GUY'S OPINION!

I have been busting to get this edition of Naked News up and running. I was away on family stuff and unable to clear my head in order to record the news, which I kept assembling while I was away. Yeah, I know creatively, we're supposed to feel good about whatever it is we do, but that's not why I do this. I just want you to know what's going, some of which you will simply not hear anywhere else. Appreciate you!

I AM GETTING A LITTLE TIRED OF TRYING TO BE CREATIVE AND NON-REPETITIVE REGARDING WHY THIS NAKED NEWS IS WORTH YOUR TIME. IF YOU ARE EVEN TAKING THE TIME TO READ THIS MALARKEY, JUST LISTEN TO THE DAMN PODCAST.
