This is a short one, prompted by Tiger Woods winning the Master's today. I talk about the good that can come from allowing for second chances and how some spheres in our social world have weird standards for it. The song recommendation this week is "Don't Mean Nothing" by Richard Marx.

Yes, this is DEFINITELY an hour and half long podcast about changing the oil in your car. The song recommendation this week is "'Cause I'm a Man" by Tame Impala.

In this delayed episode, I poorly try and explain how there are many parallels between our world as Americans and the MTV show "Catfish." Jessie Smollett, Trump and Russia, Joe Biden, and the field of 2020 presidential candidates, have all basically turned us into the sad victims of catfishing that discover the hard truth at the end of each episode of that show. I doesn't make sense...but it does. The song recommendation this week is "Rock and Roll, Hoochie Koo" by Rick Derringer.

This week I give my objective (but mostly subjective) view of the top 10 best and top 10 worst albums of all time...and by "all time" I mean between 1950 and 2000. No news this week or song recommendation, but since I had received more than one message about my musical opinions, I decided I would dedicate an episode to it, even though this isn't a freaking music podcast. Remember that this is serious, but also not at all serious, so just ride along with it and realize that it really doesn't matter if you agree or not...I like what I like and you can like what you like (even if you're wrong).

This episode is all about recent news events. I haven't really included too many current events in the past couple episodes and there has definitely been a lot going on, so I dedicated a whole episode to a few things that have happened in the world that I want to bring up. Topics ranging from the Boeing issue to the New Zealand shooting to a ridiculous new movie that bastardizes Christianity are discussed. The song recommendation this week is "Millennium Man" by Dave Kerzner.

This episode is all about money, but particularly regarding taxes and all the recent controversy about them. I hope to take a bit of a different angle here, because the tired arguments by both sides of the political spectrum aren't enough. After this, I take a tangent and reflect on why casinos are the biggest waste of time. The song recommendation of the week is "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" by Robben Ford & The Blue Line.

This is a silly goose episode. Having to deal with the droves of people that come to town for Mardi Gras, as well as my cable company not having the decency to at least take me out to dinner before screwing me, made this week the perfect time for a reflection on what ticks me off. It wasn't supposed to be a full episode, but once I was jotting down my grievances from these specific instances, I realized I could easily fill an hour if I didn't limit myself. So here is an episode without any news or politics where I talk about things that bother me, whether about my experiences this week or not. The song recommendation of the week is "Lonesome Loser" by Little River Band

No I didn't spell it wrong...he spells it wrong. But anyway, this episode is all about the stuff involving the Jussie Smollett thing. Yeah it's talked about a lot and you wont get any new info from listening to this but I don't think the right points are typically emphasized, so I try and put my own spin on things. The song recommendation this week is Blue Light by David Gilmour.

This episode will be uploaded a bit later than normal due to a fatal mistake that I made. Speaking of mistakes, why is it so hard for people to get fired even after making tons of them? This week, I talk about why our standards for employment and ourselves is too low and how it should be much easier to get fired. There is no song recommendation of the week due to being short on time, but that will be resumed next week for sure.

This episode marks a bit of a change in style/format for the podcast. There will now be just one main topic per episode, which will hopefully allow me to be more focused and in-depth. This week, I talk about our seemingly odd obsession with serial killers, as well as the backlash from many people who seem to hate that these infamous criminals get so much attention. This is of course a hot topic amidst all the hype about The Ted Bundy Tapes on Netflix and the upcoming movie, Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile (too long of a title), starring Zac Efron. The song recommendation this week is "Dr. Funk" by The Main Squeeze.
