It's been another week. This show keeps sliding into the political rather more than I intended, but that is what is sticking in my craw lately. Things are moving faster, and not necessarily in a way I feel good about. Whether it is due to stupidity or nefarious intent I'll leave to you to decide, but here are some of my thoughts for the week. Hope it works for you.

This week I am going to talk about something I have touched on before. It seems to be getting worse but people are so smug and secure in their ignorance that facts and truth no longer matter in the way of the world. And I have thoughts, as always, and I would love to hear yours, maybe call and leave a message. or hit me up on the socials.

So this week there was a few things to talk about. Some stupid stuff happened on the first day of school in Kentucky. Paradise is burning, and we sleepy Joe wants another 24 billion for Ukraine. Budweiser is still feeling the ripples of giving Dylan that can. And last but not least the relief from inflation may be right around the corner......thanks to TayTay and Queen Bey? Anyway it's a lot.

There was a lot going on this past week. Some of it important, some of it trivial. However the biggest thing to happen this week got practically no coverage from the main stream media outlets. They are not your friends. But I talk about what I believe was the biggest thing that happened this past week, and why I think it matters. Also go cop some schwag from horribledesigns.com . They are big supporters of the show, and the stuff is cool. I would apricate it if we supported them back. Use code IHADTOSAYIT for 15% off your purchase.

After a slight break for MY mental health I'm back and there has been plenty to talk about, also it was men's mental health month, did you hear anything about that?

A lot going on. Corruption, bribery, UFO's and a big old distraction.

This week has been a rough one, a lot of things kind of went sideways for me personally, and the world is still going nuts so there is no shortage of things to talk about. That being said it is a short episode this week. I have some thoughts, but really it is just a bit of a recap. Go get your horribledesigns.com stuff and support one of this shows original supporters. Also I put the new logo on some stuff over on the teespring store, so go cop a hat, shirt, hoodie, or something.

I am no fan of mass media, and that is no secret. But it has been on my mind this week so you get to hear me vent about it. Also tangeal to that, how much have you heard about what is going on in France? I'm betting not much. There is a reason for that, and I talk about my thoughts on that particular matter too. And talk about what I think we should do about things. As usual.

ihadtosayitpodcast.com for cause I pay for it and would apricate the traffic so I don't feel like I am wasting my money.

In this episode we follow up on some topics I talked about last week. Then we discuss some governmental shenanigans that will be screwing over people who have been doing what they were supposed to to benefit those who either can't or won't. Finally we talk about the twitter check marks.

So it's been an interesting week. There was another Riot in downtown Chicago. No idea what set it off this time, they can't even attempt to spin this one as a "protest" because they weren't protesting a thing. It was a mob of teenagers to early 20's clowns destroying things and assulting people. No fear, no sense of worry about getting caught, and the mayor elect is already blaming anything but the clowns involved in it. Chicago replaced one bad mayor with another, and frankly they are getting what they deserve. I feel for the good people stuck there, but this is what they asked for. And the government found the kid that leaked the information about what is going on in the Ukraine real quick. It don't smell right to me, but that's just part of my problem with the situation, and I talk about that some too. Lastly the economy is on real shakey ground and I have some thoughts on that as well.

The world keeps turning, the BRICS alliance keeps making moves that leverage their bid to be the new superpower on the planet, and we are over here fighting over who a crappy beer put on their cans. There is a reason the rest of the world is not taking the US seriously anymore, the dollar is losing it's status as reserve currency, and we find ourselves in a lot of crosshairs. I will admit I got derailed a bit on this one, but it is what is on my mind, and I don't understand how we as a people are allowing ourselves to be lead around by the nose like this. It is manufactured strife and conflict that is completely unnecessary, if we would all just live by the thing we all learned in kindergarten, or at least should have. Treat people how you want to be treated. There are no qualifiers on that statement. Not people who look the same as you. Not people who believe the same things as you. People. Period. That's it. All the other garbage is irrelevant, so why the hell are we fighting over it? And leave them kids alone. Let kids be kids. Seriously, that shouldn't even be a talking point in all this crap.

Part 2 of our talk. We go talk true crime, war stories, and other shenanigans.

There was a ton of stuff to talk about this past week. None of it bodes well for the American people. I touch on the "Tik Tok" ban which is actually SO MUCH more than that. It is basically the patriot act on steroids, and if it passes, we all lose. Also BRICS is making moves that could lead to major destabilization of the American economy, but nobody is really talking about that either. The mainstream media is not your friend. And this past week proves it, or else we would all know more about these things without the digging being necessary.

I sat down and had a LONG conversation with Eric & Matt, the hosts of 69 Whiskey. It's not a bar pod. That being said I enjoyed talking to these guys and hopefully you will have as many laughs listening to this as we had recording it. This went real long, part two will follow next week. OR you could go sign up to support the show either through pateron or buy me a coffee and get the whole thing in one shot, including special bonus audio that won't be in either free feed.

Last week I talked about passion, this week I talk about something you won't get very far without. Discipline. Unless you are one of those people who the chips always land right for, in which case you probably aren't listening to my little show any way. So yeah, discipline is important, and it is like a muscle, you got to practice it to build it up. Start out small. Take the walk, put down the donut, do the crossword, something, anything that you don't want to do that will ultimately benefit you. Do it. You will thank me later. And then go to horribledesigns.com and get some smartassed thing on a shirt and some stickers for some random shenanigans. Then go to ihadtosayitpodcast.com. I got new stickers with the new logo and all you have to do to get a couple is ask.

Do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life. But is that really the case? Is passion enough? When you do things because you HAVE to is it still possible to WANT to do them? I have thoughts, shocking right? But ultimately the key, as with so much in life is balance, which I also have thoughts on. And as usual I ramble a bit and get distracted. Also there is a promo in this episode for SP Filmviewers, a podcast I just started listening to, where one host has seen the movies, the other just watched them for the first time, and they talk about it. So far I am digging their dynamic, and you should at least check them out. Also go cop come gear from horribledesigns.com, it's still good and I am not gonna stop plugging it so you might as well get onboard.

Okay, so a couple of banks collapsed, and the government bailed them out. Now no surprises there, but a nasty side effect of this is a congressman showing they just don't learn and asking if there was a plan in place to censor information about this to prevent another run on the banks. They just don't learn. Also I have some things to say about some people that are preying on kids. If you are new to the show buckle up. I have no patience for that particular flavor of scumbaggery. 

The thought that has been rolling around in my head, that I discuss this episode is one that I am still working through. So join me for my thoughts on how a lot of the issues I have with the world today come from a place where people are living from a place of fear. It is endemic to a certain percentage of the population, and it drives their behavior, as they scream about acceptance and equality, without actually wanting either of those things since if it is something someone else has to give them, particularly without being earned, it can just as easily be taken away. 

Okay, so the title may be a little misleading, but I do talk about the conspiracy theorists a bit. This one is a lot of a rant about the sitting president, the current state of the government in the US, the jab, Fauci, and why we are where we are. On a track that has put us closer to WW3 than anytime since the cold war. I am really starting to sound like a broken record on this stuff, but until it changes, some of it will linger in my mind, so you guys get to hear my thoughts on it.

So in this one we update some of the stuff talked about last week, and I kind of ramble about my perspective on how things are going.

Ihadtosayitpodcast.com

Yeah. Go check some stuff out.

It's been a crazy week. UFO's getting shot down, a train derailment that is an ecological nightmare, and WW3 is looming. But how are you doing? Also Big shout out to Sam Sprunger One of the co-hosts of the 500 Section lounge for the new pod art. Go check out the show and enjoy. Let him know Aaron sent ya.

So there has been more drama in the world of social media, and since like a lot of people I spend more time there than I probably should, I have some thoughts. Also the Chinese send a balloon and the grammys happened. Meh.

It's no secret that I think the world is full of stupid people, and they are getting dumber every day. I don't believe this is an accident. and I think it is pushing us towards bigger problems. It's gotten so bad at this point that you can no longer tell if something you see online is satire, a parody, or an actual "news" item. So this is what is on my mind today. What are your thoughts on the matter? Let me know www.ihadtosayitpodcast.com . Also I talk about the live show we just did this past weekend, it's on the youtube channel if you want to check it out.

www.horribledesigns.com

In this episode I touch on a doctor that gave out falsified covid documentation at the request of his patients rather than give the jab to a bunch of children, and how he is being brought up on federal charges now. Also I go off on a tear about why I think this culture war nonsense is actually just the most recent way that the few control the masses.

Times are tough all over. Food shortages, supply chain issues, bird flu, and a bunch of elitists who fly around in private jets getting ready to lecture us on climate change and plot depopulation. In the meantime I talk about some things you can do to make things a little better for you and your family, and some new features I will be adding to the show's website in the immediate future.

Contrary to popular opinion being masculine is not a bad thing. Masculinity is not a toxic, if you do it right. It is necessary. It being forced out of daily life is one of the reasons things have gotten so messed up lately. It's absence is also how you get the ultra alpha wanna be morons spewing garbage, attempting to define themselves as real men. Maybe they don't know any better, maybe they are trying to fill the void, or MAYBE they are just trying to seize an opportunity because they know they wouldn't be able to cut it otherwise. And I also talk about a few things I think have contributed to this situation. As usual it's our faults for letting it come to this, and it is our responsibility to do something about it.

Happy New Year everyone. In this episode there are a couple of life updates, a little rambling about my plans for this year, and some general thoughts on making the world a better place. The ranting and humor will be back soonish, but for today here is to hoping that we all have a better year this year than last, and lets work together to make it happen. Time to kick this year in the taint.

Last episode of the year. I look back at the past year, and talk about what is to come. Thanks for listening, I really appreciate all of you. Happy new year, and here is to a better 2023.

More twitter files exposing more corruption and all the accompanying nonsense, and the end of the year is right around the corner, and I have some thoughts on how to deal with the new year. 

So Elon is dumping more files, and I have more thoughts. Honestly not what I was waiting for yet, but all signs show that one is coming. And what is probably the first trade involving the WNBA that anyone has ever given a damn about happened. Lets talk.

ihadtosayitpodcast.com

So I was on the Kanye hate train way before it was cool. And frankly this guy did the unthinkable and made the vast majority of the world be done with him in about a weekend. So I have thoughts on that. Also there was the first dump of files detailing all the crap going on behind the scenes at twitter, nothing particularly surprising there, and of course all of the people who benefited from it are trying to downplay it and act like it is meaningless, personally I am waiting for the vax and covid dump. 

We all probably spend more time on social media than we should. With everything going on right now with twitter so many people are having absolute fits over how Elon is running the company HE bought. Most of it comes off as petulant garbage and tantrums, but why? There are so many better ways to spend your time, why spend it on a platform you are unhappy with complaining about the platform? Honestly I have more thoughts on the matter than what made it into the episode, if you are interested or have thoughts of your own please feel free to reach out and share them, I would love the feedback. 

Happy Holidays everyone. Just some thoughts I had going into this holiday season. I hope even if you choose not to celebrate the holidays you can enjoy some time with loved ones. 

So the elections are wrapping up in the US, and frankly I couldn't be gladder that they are winding down. Do I think the stupidity tied to them is going to end? No. Am I going to keep talking about it? Also no. Honestly, I've had my fill of complaining about the same bunch of idiots and all the lies and stupidity that they generate to maintain their tenuous grasp of power. I am going to try and take the show in a slightly different direction, and I talk about that instead of the usual same old same old. I am sure I will still talk about stupid stuff that happens because of politics, but I don't want to be a politics show. I started out as a society and culture commentary show and I want to get more back to that. Will that cross into the political from time to time, I am sure it will. Especially with everyone trying to legally force their beliefs onto each other. However I need a break. I need to not give them any more of my energy for a while, and I hope you all will come on the journey with me. And PLEASE a little engagement would go a long way as I go through this process.

So the episode I did record for today wound up with a corrupted audio file and the backup was bad as well. So for what ever reason I had to completely redo this, so at the suggestion of a friend of the show I decided to do it live. SO here it is, the first live episode of I HAD to say it, no edits, no script, not a lot of coherency. Hope you enjoy it.

The two big pieces of news this past week, Elon closed on twitter, and walked in the door and started cleaning house, and the shambling corpse that is the current speaker of the house's husband got attacked in their home, allegedly. So I talk about these things and give my take on the matter. I am sure both issues will bear revisiting before too long, because neither is a closed book yet, but this is where I am as of now.
