What the HELL Were You Thinking?

SHOW NOTES EPISODE 124: “A War Without End, Amen”

This week Host Dave Bledsoe gets a little chilly and goes searching for a comfy knitted blanket. On the show this week we talk about the latest plan win with war and bring us peace with honor. (We think this means Afghanistan, but we are not completely sure.)

Along the way we reminisce about a simple time, when a cell phone was just a phone, Donald Trump was only making life miserable for pageant contestants and the country was reeling from the largest terrorist attack in history. (Those were the days!) We also remember the horrors of Microsoft Windows ME, the real horror of Y2K.

We examine all the plans to win Afghanistan from all the Presidents stretching back to the beginning of the war, which we believe was during William Howard Taft Administration. (His plan: Rifled muskets!) We tally up the cost of sixteen years of war human and economic and wonder if maybe it was a bad decision in the first place. Which is just crazy talk, because we all know the Bush Administration would never do anything STUPID!

This week in the Wayback we go all the way back to 1829 and when the chaps sent a few of the boys from Delhi to Kabul to see what they were on about. (Turns out they were on about killing British!) Our Sponsor is the very real and not at all made up Open Cola, the open source soda pop. We open the show this week with a quote attributed to Alexander the Great but really came from the worst Rambo movie and we close with YouTuber Jackson Daniel covering George Strait.

Show Notes Episode 123: “White Like Me”

This week Host Dave Bledsoe takes a long hard look at the man in the mirror, and does not like the person he sees. On the show this week we talk about what happened in Charlottesville and how things like this keep happening. (We think the Nazis had something to do with it.)

Along the way we ask if our picking on the fat kids as children had consequences on today. We wonder why all Nazis dress like assistant managers in Hobby Lobby? (We suspect there was a sale at WalMart) We also have a frank and unpleasant conversation, Honkey to Honkey, about White People. (Crackers will be served during the segment.) Finally we address the Alt Right, White Nationalist Nazi Assholes directly with some news they will not enjoy hearing what so ever. (Pack your bags you Adolf loving shitholes!)

Our sponsor this week is Simon and Edna Cliff’s Nazi Removal, take care of annoying Nazis with Simon and Edna. We open the show with Lt. Aldo Raine and close the show with Youtuber L. Young and his rendition of Sam Cooke. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9ao5mrtV7wK)

SHOW NOTES EPISODE 122: “Models of Modern Major Generals”

This Week Host Dave Bledsoe has information animal, vegetable and mineral which will be useful scrounging for food in the radioactive ashes of nuclear armageddon. On the show this week we take a look Trump’s Modern Major Generals and wonder if they are too much of a good thing. (Someday, but not yet.)

Along the way we discuss how the Guamanians must feel about trending on Twitter for reasons other than pissed off TaoTaoMonas. (Which are very real and not to be trifled with!) We examine the differences between the mindset of the various services of the Armed Forces. (Army, Navy, Marine: “Kill the bastards”. Air Force: “Does this hotel have room service?”) The dive into what it takes to BE a genuine modern major general. (A lot of fancy learning degrees from what we can tell.)

On the Wayback we head to October 1962 where we have a Cuba Libre and discover that really, it is just a rum and coke. We also find out why it is a really good idea to NOT have General's making decision that could end the world. Our Sponsor this week Retired General Amos T Half Track offering real world advice on national security and hoping to catch Miss Buxley in the ladies room. We open the show Seven Days in May and close with Youtuber Davis Goff’s brilliant take on Gilbert and Sullivan. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5rGpIlmYUo

Show Notes Episode #121: “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Better!”

This week Host Dave Bledsoe spreads buttery goodness on America only to find a lot of people think he is making a sexual innuendo. On the show this week we talk about the “plan” from the Democrats to take back America, it’s uh--Better? (Narrator: “It wasn’t”)

Along the way we discuss the Presidential contenders for 2020 (Yeah, already) and why none of them measure up to our expectations. There is an idea for cloning thousands of Bernie's and running all of them for Congress in 2018. (We’re Bernie Sanders and We Approve This Message) Then there is a STRENUOUS objection to the party being fine with anti-choice Democrats. (Hint: You give a zealot an inch and they force you family to convert to their religion) Our Wayback of the Week goes back to 1948, because we still had that tab open in Wikipedia.

Our sponsor this week is Beb! Jush, Democrat for Congress, because he is definitely NOT Jeb Bush! We open the show the planning committee at the DCCC and close with Youtuber Eddie629 explaining that it really does get better. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9arlzHgalA0

EPISODE #120: “My Own Personal Viet Nam”

This week Host Dave Bledsoe wonders if he can still get 10% off his order at Denny’s only to find there are no Denny’s in New York City. On the show this week we tackle the Trump Tweet on Trans Bans. (Hint: We are pissed)

Along the way there are explanations of the military supply chain vis a vie being able to wipe your butt, and reveal the latest in combat TP. We explain why you cannot change military personnel policy in a Tweet. (Who fucking does this? Oh yeah.) And we debunk the myth of the One Free Boob Job. (Honestly, this is a thing.) We hit the Wayback to examine the history of using the military to effect social change on America and how very, very angry this made Conservatives. (It did not, however, stop it from happening.) Stay tuned after the show credits for Fulcrum, with StePHen Bannon, who has some thoughts on The Mooch.

Our sponsor this week is The Mooch, when you gotta get some respect, some LOYALTY--you call The Mooch!

EPISODE #119: “Steel Rail Blues”

This week Host Dave Bledsoe asks the listeners to please stand clear of the closing doors, there is a podcast directly behind this one. On the show this week we take a look at the broke ass, no good, very bad, pee smelling New York City Subway System. (Don’t worry we make it relevant to you Middle America!) If you’ve never experienced a crowded mass transit man vigorously masturbating to you, you will now!

Along the way we learn the history of why the United States doesn’t give a damn about Mass Transit (Hint: You might be in the reason right now). We determine once and for all who is in charge of making the trains run on time in New York City. (He is Italian, but no Mussolini) Also within, everything you thought you knew about the Interstate is probably wrong. (Originally, no cars allowed!) Finally, we give you the car owning American every reason to question your decision to own and car and a little taste of an average trip on the Subway. (Trigger Warning for anyone who drives or rides the subway.)

Our Sponsor this week in New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, who wants you to know this shit ain’t on him! We open the show with Elaine Benes as Every New Yorker and close with Youtuber Timothy Dennis’ cover of “Steel Rail Blues”. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4CU1p3o9S4)

SHOW NOTES EPISODE 118: “From Russia With Derp”

This week Host Dave Bledsoe has his manager reach out to contacts in Germany hoping to set up a meeting about some compromising material he has on Angela Merkel, only discover he has no manager. On the show this week, we discuss how a music promoter, a shitty Russian Pop Star and a lawyer named we think Natasha Fatale somehow managed to fuck Hillary Clinton out of the White House. This story is so stupid it has to be true.

Along the way we talk about how dumb you have to be to admit to a federal crime on Twitter. (Donald Jr Dumb) We relive the Dumpster Age of Television in USA Network Prime Time Crime Dramas of the mid-90’s. (Don’t even lie, you WATCHED them!) We once for all do away with the notion that Don Jr is the Fredo of the Trump Family. (We know it was you Tiffany, you broke our hearts!) And in the Wayback we head to 1805 and the King of Mexico, who was neither a Mexican, nor a King. Most importantly, we define what the fuck treason IS and implore people to stop using it incorrectly. (Hint: No one has committed Treason since 1945!)

Our Sponsor this week is Vlad’s Talent Booking, Ve Haf Starz! Are good! Make with good song and maybe kompromat, who know? We open the wwith show Don Jr’s admissions interview at Wharton and close with the Baba Yaga’s rendition of Nataliya's trip home. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqFK3WeLySA&feature=youtu.be)

Episode 117: All We Have to Fear Is the Tweet Itself

This week Host Dave Bledsoe gets body slammed by the truth when he learns that wrestling is still a thing apparently. On the show this week, we tackle the Trump’s Twitter War with the Media and wonder what the hell is wrong with America. (Hint: Both suck.) Along the way we dive into the credibility gap between our Fourth Estate and the American public and wonder how we got here. (Hint: Wolf Blitzer) We also threaten to reveal the identity of that one guy on Twitter who keeps pointing out typos in the show notes. (WE KNOW WHO YOU ARE “TOM”!)

We hit the Wayback Machine for a trip to 1952 and see how a drunken loudmouth used the media to ascend to power and how the media used a drunken loudmouth for ratings. We reveal the truth about the REAL hero of the McCarthy Era and how a Senator slapped him in a Dupont Circle bar. (Honestly, this sort of things happens a LOT in DuPont Circle, at least in Dave’s experience.) We also offer a sincere suggestion to CNN to solve their credibility problems and give America face of truth and integrity. (Hint: He told us about the dangers of Role Playing Games in the 80’s. And it’s NOT Pat Robertson)

Our sponsor this week is Easy Eddie’s Journalism Academy, skip the school and get the scoop! We open the show with the honesty of Stephen Glass and close with Joshua and the Note Ninja’s fabric softening cover of Don Henley (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFB2xblO2R)

EPISODE #116: “Death By A Thousand Tax Cuts”

This week Host Dave Bledsoe asks the doctor to give him news, only find out he has bad case of loving you. (The prognosis is not good.) On the show this week we FINALLY do the health care episode we’ve been trying avoid like a Republican Congressman in his district. Like his constituents, it leaves us even more pissed off than when we started.

Along the way we learn the history of medicine in America, like how many chickens it would cost for a syphilis treatment (three but no promises it works) and the best places to die on the streets of your town. (Near the pizza parlor, trash pickup will cart off your body). We also discover the rather disturbing backstory of Mr. Peabody and Sherman--no really, we are not cool with this, it’s kind of sick. We also talk about LBJ’s dick, which you are required to do each time your bring up LBJ in a historical context, why do you think they wait so late in High School to teach you about VietNam? We explain exactly why your insurance sucks and learn long after their demise exactly what the hell an HMO was supposed to be. (They financed trips to golf clubs for doctors.) We look at who suffers under the Senate Tax Cut Bill masquerading has a health care. (That would be YOU, unless you are rich, then you will do GREAT!) Finally we close with what you can do to help. (Die quickly)

Our sponsor this week is Shitshurance, we cover your shit. We open the show with Chris Rock explaining insurance and close with Len Rozamus (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfYd8TFo1qU) covering Jackson Brown’s ophthalmological opus.
