POLITIKILL with John Jacobs

The Great Capitol Fire

Oversharing is the name of the game. Who needs therapy when you have a podcast! Everything that can go wrong, does go wrong in this episode. Fire alarm is going off, sprinklers turn on, my tie is loose and undone, it’s cold out, I’m sick. But again, my love of the Bozo bois and the clown gang outweigh any minor inconveniences. They can never take our spirit. Sunlight travels 93 million miles just to reach you.

It's cold out and I'm not wearing my mask. You can't see though anyway you're just listening. I may be dying I'm not sure my heart has been through a lot over my lifetime due to bad lifestyle choices, but that's not gonna stop me from sitting in front of the Capitol and telling bad one-liners into a microphone at 4:30 am. Mostly jokes, some topical stuff, and personal stories while also thinking about mortality. Not much political philosophical stuff because I don't have new philosophical or political ideas this week. And that's normal. You don't have revelations every week. But there's still a few. Enjoy!

It takes me like 45 minutes before I find any rhythm sorry about that. Yea I talk about how Shane Gillis' set got everyone talking and distracted for a full week along with some other stuff. I can’t really remember. But I had fun! And I hope you do too.

This is the episode I would like submitted to the Golden Globes. I talk about everything that's important and nothing that's not. It's cold outside, the people in power are saying and doing funny and terrifying things, the powers that be continue to divide us with social stories that rile us up and make us hate each other. so essentially, business as usual. Thank you for the nice comments, you keep me doing this!

What’s up false flaggots, on todays episode I talk about the root of all evil and how the original suffering of man, which caused a never ending transference of aggression, probably started from nature. Sunburn, lightning, quicksand, a thorn scraping a guys arm. Nature introduced the first forms of suffering to humanity so all of this is essentially nature’s fault. Thanks God. Let me back into Eden I swear I’ll be good!

Plants, animals, humans, aliens, all different forms of life. Through our actions we've decided that humans are the most important life. Is that fair? Are we biased because we're humans and we're making the rules? Should all life be treated equally? Is it still my birthday?

They turned the sprinklers on me. I talk about where suffering for humanity started and what the original sin was that began the never-ending transference of aggression. That and some other stuff, I don't know, I can't remember.

God created humanity just so he’d have an audience to worship him. I think I’m a very positive person and even if I think soon we’ll have Apple Collars (marketed as necklaces) which track all of our vitals and inject us with any number of substances at any given moment, I’m still very optimistic about all of our own personal futures. Just because the people at the top are trying to hold down the bottom 99% doesn’t mean we have to let it get us down. 

War, religion, Lindsay Clancy, and other things consuming our time and energy against our will. I don’t remember most of what I talked about but I enjoyed it. Thanks for all the nice comments last week I will continue to keep putting these out.

Just me this time, no camera man, no guest, feeling it out. Running material going through some concepts. It’s hard to care when there’s 14 new awful things every day, you have to ration out your empathy or you’ll just never do anything. RIP Dolly Parton.
