Black Friday, Small Business Saturday Holiday season thoughts
The holiday season is upon us. Maybe this year instead of jumping on the biggest sales to put more money in big box sellers pockets you support some small businesses, on line stores, or content creators. Think outside the box and help out your fellow man.

Viva la Libertad Carajo!
This one is a little different. But only a little, Recorded kind of last minute this is literally something that just happened and I need to talk about it. Javier Milei won the presidency in Argentina. If you don't know who he is google it. The videos pretty much speak for themselves. This guy is what we need. He can show the way, assuming that he can deliver what he was elected on. The MSM is comparing him to Trump, almost non-stop. Other than they are both outsiders with very large personalities, this is fundamentally wrong. Unlike the cheeto, who said he was going to make the government work, Milei has said that the government doesn't work, and he is going to tear it down. Slashing government spending and bureaucratic nonsense to return the control to the people.I really hope he does, and the rest of the world sees that it can be done.

What it takes to get a city in California clean
More rampant stupidity, more sad news, more tragedy, more of the parasites in charge acting like it is either unavoidable or our own faults. And me over here raging against it all. Hope you enjoy.

More Mass Shootings and a Different Brew
The middle east is still doing what they do. There have been very easily predicted consequences, and the warhawks are doing what they do best. Also the E-thot industry is getting out of hand, and I have some thoughts on the matter.

School Standards, Conflicts, & An Ammo Shortage
A lot going on this week. Schools getting rid of standards to graduate, the conflicts in the Middle east are still conflicting, the border is still wide open, and the tide hasn't slowed any for people pouring in unchecked. The military is less and less qualified to protect you, the police is a reactive force so you are going to have to protect yourself. But that is getting harder and harder to do.
And as always I have thoughts.

Chaos in Congress, the Middle East, And the East Coast
A lot has happened this week. We have Congress in disarray, Israel being attacked by HAMAS and multiple left wing activists apparently being bit by the fruits of their own activism. Fun stuff across the boards. Also an announcement for you listeners. Maybe actual take part in this one.

Another week, another Example
Well, another week on the books, and we have myriad examples of things wrong with the world. Politicians grandstanding and pushing political theatre, all while doing exact what they always do. Nothing good. The US plays chicken with another shutdown, Canada honors an ACTUAL Nazi, and New York is full. But it's not just politicians being prime examples of what not to do. We have rampant crime in the big cities like Chicago and Philly to look to for more examples of how to be an honor student.

Chicago Issues, Cancel Culture making a comeback, & A Shutdown
So there are problems in the Chi, and it is representative of what is going on in big cities around the country. I have thoughts. Shocking huh? Then I talk some about what is being done to people speaking out against what is going on in our world. I have more thoughts. Lastly there is another looming government shutdown, boo hoo.

Maui Wowie, Excuses, Oversteps, & some Humble Pie
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.

Drinking the Kool Aid and Buying the Narrative
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.

Three years of this nonsense.
Welp, this is it. Three years of this show. It's been an interesting run. I have made some great friends along the way, learned a lot, and even had a degree of personal growth. I want to thank all of you for your continued support, both the subscribers and those of you who listen every week. Thank you for the continued support.

Bus Routes, Wildfires, Budweiser, and Concerts for Inflation
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.

A Thread about free speech
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.

Mother's Day, Alt-Right, and a Twit

It's been one this week.
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.

Mass Media Firings & Viva La France!
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.
horribledesigns.com for your schwag
ihadtosayitpodcast.com for cause I pay for it and would apricate the traffic so I don't feel like I am wasting my money.

Follow Ups, housing market woes, and a checkmark
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.

Chicago Riots, Government Leaks, & The Economy Stumbles.
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.

BRICS. Bud Light & Bull
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.

A Conversation with 69 Whiskey
Part 2 of our talk. We go talk true crime, war stories, and other shenanigans.

RESTRICTed BRICS
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.

A Conversation with the lads from 69 Whiskey
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. You can sign up at the show's page www.IHADtosayitpodcast.com

You need Discipline too
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.

Passion, Balance, and Happiness
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.

Bank Bailouts, censorship, and leave them kids alone
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.

Living from a place of fear.
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.

The conspiracy theorists are 35-0
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.

Updates and a matter of perspective
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.

Yeah. Go check some stuff out.

Chemical Spills, UFO's & WW3
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.

A Bleu Balloon and Yer Grammy
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.

Satire, Parody, or the News?
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.

The Culture War and Deliberate Division
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.

The WEF and stretching your food budget
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.

Toxic Masculinity Mk2
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.

Lets kick 2023 in the Taint
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.
