What the HELL Were You Thinking?

Show Notes Episode 170: “She Was With the Russians TOO?”

This week Host Dave Bledsoe’s cover is blown when he orders his whiskey shaken not stirred. On the show this week we infiltrate the shadowy world of Russian Honey Pots, only to discover Winnie the Pooh isn’t a Russian Bear. (A Leather Daddy named Dimitri, on the other hand…)

Along the way we learn the secret history of Dave’s favorite bar in college. (Hint: Cheap liquor and liberal ID checking policies.) We reveal the reasons why dumpy middle age Republican operatives get all the hot chicks. (They are all Russian spies.) We wonder how deep the ties go between the NRA and Kremlin go. (Charlton Heston was a commie infiltrator!) We also have a Wayback this week where you will learn why the Russians are so GOOD at espionage! (You need to be when your government is based on repressing peasants!) Finally, we wrap with an in depth exploration of what Putin wants from his Best Boy Donnie! (Money. It’s money.)

Our Sponsor this week is Vlad’s Nice Girls, helping you meet beautiful Russian ladies who DEFINITELY are not part of the FSB! We open the show with Agent WD-40 and Alex Trebek. We close with Dave’s weekly message to his parents.!

Show Notes Episode 169: “Shame In Vain”

This week Host Dave Bledsoe explores that nagging feeling of remorse he experiences waking up each morning to find himself still alive. On the show this week we explore the most useless approach for moderating behavior after the “Time Out”: Shame.

Along the way we examine the history of shame and have a good long laugh at the name “Hester”! (Admit it, you are giggling now.) We take special care to demonstrate how hard it is to make a sociopath feel bad about something they did. (So, you’re telling me ax murder is a BAD thing?) The we see how shame is weaponized by both sides of the political aisle. There is a LONG string of dick jokes which we are inordinately proud of, and a couple of pedo priest jokes that we know we know we SHOULD be ashamed of, yet totally are not. (See, shame is useless!) Finally, we offer up a simple suggestion on how to deal with the problems in our society. (Ahem: LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP!--damn that really is cathartic we see why they chanted it now.)

Our sponsor this week is Catholic Guilt, the guilt that keeps on working long after you leave the church! We open the show with High Septon on redemption and close with The Computers who train us in vain.

Show Notes Episode 168: “Q Who?”

This week Host Dave Bledsoe finds out who is behind the plot to undermine his finances and social reputation, only to discover the enemy is him. On the show this week we examine the Deep State Conspiracy known as “QAnon” and shockingly discover it is John de Lancie! (It’s at least as probable as any other explanation we’ve heard.)

Along the way we learn the wit and wisdom imparted by Dave’s grandmother who only wanted him to behave and avoid the Romani. (Or Gypsy Rose Lee, it was never truly clear who she was talking about.) We learn what scares old white people (everything) and what scares Roseanne and Curt Schilling. (They are old white people, so everything.) We follow the breadcrumbs dropped by an Anonymous Dude on the Internet deep into the forest to find the gingerbread house of ROBERT MUELLER! (He is famous for them, makes them every Christmas. Delicious and adorable!) Finally, we unravel the mystery so frightening even Alex Jones disavows the entire theory as too implausible! (Probably because he could not monetize QAnon Health Supplements.)

Our Sponsor this week is Anonymous Internet Guy, your source for credible incredulities for over 30 years! We open the show with debts repaid by omnipotent being and close with Brody Dolyniuk who wants to know just who the hell you think you are! https://youtu.be/BVH_NuIXNrg

Show Notes Episode 167: “Dispatches from the Second Battle of Starbucks”

This week Host Dave Bledsoe returns home from the war, and by war we mean a savage drinking binge from which his liver suffers PTSD. (God help it!) One the show this week, we read letters from the front of the #SecondCivilWar and hope not be sued by Ken Burns.

Along the way we examine the root causes of generic civil wars. (Not OUR Civil War, that was slavery.) We delve into the reasons why we all cannot, as Rodney King once asked us, just get along. (Mostly because certain people are beating the shit out of people like Rodney King!) We talk about the mindset of Conservatives and why they feel so desperately ostracized. (It’s called the march of progress, get used to it!) Then we reluctantly advise you we are ALREADY in the midst of a true Second Civil War and we are currently not doing well. (Despite holding all the money and all the media!) Finally, we issue a stirring call to arms and beg General Patton Oswalt to take command of our troops and leads us to VICTORY! (Or Brunch, whichever)

Our Sponsor this week is the 4th Proud Boys, who want you to know they will urinate and flee at the first hint on combat. We open the show with a soldiers plaintive lament for his mother not to look at his browser history and close with Boyz to Men covering Edwin Starr.

Episode 166: “Uncivil Wars”

This week Host Dave Bledsoe insists the bouncers respect his feelings and practice civility as they toss him into the dumpster behind the Hooters. On the show this week say fuck your feelings to everyone who insists we respect the system. (We are not in a good place this week.)

We do a front line tour of the civility wars this week as the sky is actually fucking falling! (Henny Penny was in fact a red hen, check your Little Golden Books!) Along the way we take those who cannot keep a civil tongue to task, and chide the rude, crude and socially repugnant for their crass ways. (Fuck those people!) We also examine the cost of going along to get along, and if we are willing to pay. (We, are not.) We hear from Birmingham Jail and also the Tombs as Dave frantically tries to get someone willing post his bail. (We, are not.)

Our Sponsor this week is Fast Eddies Etiquette Academy, fucking civilizing you. We open the show with a treatise on civilization by Joe Abercrombie and close with Mike Sinatra and the weather. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAzo6YEbnv4

Show Notes Episode 165: “Waiting For A Ghoul Like You”

This week, Host Dave Bledsoe stumbles bleary eyed from the grave he lay in for the past week and wonders how much he drank to pass out in a cemetery. Again. On the show this week we examine the flesh eating ghoul who architects the Trump Administration's pogrom against immigrants. (Seriously, Stephen Miller eats the flesh of the dead!)

We also explain what the HELL we were thinking last week when there was no show. (Rage, mostly) We look into the history of Dear Leader Trump’s long and illustrious career in hating non-whites going all the way back to Daddy Fred’s days with the Klan. Then we dive into the arcane ritual that summoned forth from beyond the wall of death incarnating the fleshy homunculus who functions as the ill will behind kidnapping of innocent children to get a Border Wall. (We hesitate to use the word evil, actually no we don’t, it’s evil!) Finally, we discuss at length the danger of men like Stephen and the threat they pose. (It’s not the rise of the Elder Gods, unless Himmler was an incarnation of Nyarlathotep. Though, we won’t rule that out.)

Our Sponsor this week is White Supremacy, making things a better for even the lowest of White Folks. We open the show with Chris Rock reading us the efficient train schedules for Reich Amerika and close with JHypemusic who is waiting for someone to come along make him feel alright.

Show Notes Episode 164: “Talk Dirty to Me”

This week Host Dave Bledsoe tries really hard to lose sponsors with his vile and vicious content, only to realize he doesn’t have any. On the show this week we try a reckless stunt and talk about profanity. (We are sure THIS will go well.)

Along we way, we spend far too much time talking about the Samantha Bee faux controversy and conclude apologies are only necessary to those who deserve them. (Hint: Not you Ivanka) We dissect the C-Word in all of its permutation and incarnations, and explain why Brits and Ozzies love it so much. (It’s fun to say, yah C----S!) We go on to mount a vigorous defense of profanity in all of its forms, and push back against the idea that those us who work blue lack vocabulary? (Have you HEARD some of the ways we curse on this show?) We unpack the crime underlying the usage of some of our naughtiest words and realize it isn’t the words but the bigoted assholes saying them which is the problem. (Stealing a Carlin bit, it’s how we work.) Finally we ask the hard question: What ELSE can you say when the world is THIS fucked up? (Who are we Ned Fucking Flanders?)

Our Sponsor this week is Bad Words, when the situation calls for just the right words, choose Bad Words. We open with Ralphie’s Soap Story and close with Jughead’s Revenge who knows we like it too! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Jdv_hXjNa8

Show Notes Episode 163: “Your Tweet Should Go Away, Roseanne Yeah!”

This week the show is airing on Saturday because Host Dave Bledsoe is busy celebrating his birthday by convincing friends and strangers to pay for his liquor. (It’s basically his Saturday on a Friday.) On the show this week are forced to address the pile of dog poo on the nation’s lawn that is Roseanne. (We are going to need a HUGE pooper scooper people!)

Along the way we learn the secret of working for a giant asshole (Money, lots of money) and how it always ends when you do. (Lawyers, lots of money to lawyers.) We examine the history of Roseanne and her politics and ask how did ABC NOT see this coming. (Lawyers AND Money!) We question the Liberal bona fides of Roseanne going all the way back to the beginnings of her career and point out her show was actually just a Norman Lear sitcom without Norman’s warmth. (Honestly, we couldn’t stand her then, having Roseanne screaming on the TV and our Mom screaming from the kitchen was too much to bear!) Finally we tackle Hollywood’s obsession with unicorns, leprechauns and Trump voters who aren’t even a LITTLE bit racist. (Hint: There are very hard to find.)

Our Sponsor this week is ABC’s new Fall premier, the David Duke Show, he’s like Roseanne but worse! We open the show Roseanne and Dan being just like us and close with the band Analog who will meet us all the way.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfAwBBTiCeQ

Episode 162: “Hey Little Sister, What Have You Done?”

This week, Host Dave Bledsoe pops the question to his beloved only to discover the bartender is already married. On the show this week we are SO ready for Wedding Season after the Royal Wedding coverage! (So ready for this crap to be over!)

Join us as we walk down the aisle on the Wedding Industrial Complex and weddings in America. (We will need a $1,200 deposit to hold the space before we can even begin the show.) Along the way we tally the costs, financial, emotional and physical of a wedding today. (You will want Podcast Planner to guide you through the show, we have some recommendations.) We tackle the important questions you should ask before deciding on your ceremony. (Open Bar, always Open Bar). We address the elephant in every room: where to seat your registered sex offender family members in the reception hall. (Legally, 200 yards from the children’s table.) Finally, we offer some alternatives to traditional weddings. (We urge you to consider the Lesbian Boat Wedding Package.)

Our Sponsor this week is Fast Eddie’s Fast Wedding, when you need your nuptials NOW, call Fast Eddies Fast Wedding. We open the show with pre-marital discord and close close with the Burbillies telling us we can always start again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qlnJDSBTFw

Show Notes Episode #161: “What Kind of White Nonsense Is This?”

This week Host Dave Bledsoe is accused of virtue signaling until people discovered he lacks any. On the show we talk about why White Folks are so quick to call 911 on Black People. (Hint: They are Black.)

Along the way we discuss why White People are so quick to call the police for EVERYTHING! (Their dog looked at me funny officer!) We examine the long history caucasian passive aggression (Witch Hunt!) and Cookout do's and don’ts. (Do: Bring a bottle of brown liquor, don’t go back for seconds before everyone else has a chance to eat.) Then we get down in the weeds and explain why Black people are uncomfortable around the police in a way White people can identify with. (You could say we Whitesplain it.)

Our Sponsor this week is 9-1-2, it’s like 911 for petty shit you call 911 about,. We open the show with KevOnStage explaining cookout etiquette and close Z-Flo signing about White People.
