Crazy Personal Reconfigure

|
| Okay, hello everybody. | |
| You'll notice this is another short one. | |
| I've been putting these up lately just as little updates. | |
| Normally, as most of you know, we would have done an episode by now for what will be episode 39. | |
| That will likely be next week. | |
| So the reason why we don't have one this week, and for one thing, I want to remind everybody, no one pays for this but me. | |
| You know, this is a free show that we do not run any ads on. | |
| No Patreon as yet again. | |
| Yada yada. | |
| I am the only person that really does the hard work and the heavy lifting on the show. | |
| So all of that being said, I have had a wild ass two weeks that have nothing to do whatsoever with what's been going on in the world. | |
| You know, the Charlie Kirk shooting, not my bag doesn't affect me. | |
| The Jimmy Kimmel firing, again, not in my bag doesn't affect me. | |
| You know, I haven't dealt with anything personally out of those things aside from, of course, noticing them and, you know, putting in my two cents on Blue Sky and Mastodon and wherever else. | |
| So yeah, I'm not really, I'm not really into any of the noise surrounding all that shit, is what I'm saying. | |
| But we've had a really hectic two weeks at home over the last couple of weeks. | |
| And I have not had the time to devote to actually getting into the nitty-gritty on this next episode. | |
| Aside from I have done some work on it, but I haven't done nearly what is required to my standards anyway for an episode. | |
| So we're not doing one this week. | |
| There will be one likely next week, you know, by next Friday, likely, if I can manage to get everything together. | |
| Things have been crazy in our personal lives, and we've had to really like postpone and step back and reconfigure a bunch of shit. | |
| So, you know, I just, I felt, I do feel a personal responsibility to let our regular listeners know that we're not doing another hiatus. | |
| That's not what's going on. | |
| I'm not personally worried about my, you know, our personal safety or security or anything like that. | |
| You know, especially not with this fucking FBI. | |
|
Not Concerned About Crackdown
00:07:11
|
|
| I mean, come on. | |
| The FBI did not catch Charlie Kirk's shooter. | |
| He turned himself in. | |
| You know, for when you get right down to it, he turned himself in. | |
| They were going, they were going nowhere with their bureau work. | |
| So, yeah, I'm not really that. | |
| I'm not that concerned about anything. | |
| I'm not concerned right now about having to do more against the, you know, the crackdown that they're trying to put on people for saying bad shit about someone who was a truly horrible person. | |
| You know, Charlie Kirk, yeah, I threw up some Simpsons memes where I was like, haha, you know, he's dead. | |
| I used a Krusty the Clown thing for that. | |
| I went over to frankieak.com and made that happen. | |
| But I don't really, you know, I watched the, look, I watched the shooting death of Charlie Kirk until I got bored of watching it. | |
| Not that I was dancing on his grave so much. | |
| I was just trying to figure out like, man, could anyone even survive that? | |
| No, I don't think so. | |
| You know, it was, and plus, I'd never really seen something quite like that. | |
| You know, I mean, he, I don't think he would have survived that if he had been shot in front of a hospital. | |
| Like, there was just so much blood loss. | |
| It was crazy. | |
| So, yeah, I, you know, I don't, I don't feel like that's the way to go. | |
| You know, but at the same time, as little bits of information trickle out on the shooter and his personal life and stuff, I think, again, just like with the, just like with the attempt on Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania. | |
| Yes, I am driving right now as I record this. | |
| Just like I think on the attempt on Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, I believe that what happened with that was also an attempt with an opportunity. | |
| I think had this guy not turned himself in, I don't know if his father and his grandfather would have done it because clearly they recognized the gun that was used. | |
| You know, I think if he had gotten away, I think if the gun had, if he had gotten away with the rifle and managed to keep his mouth shut, I don't think it would have been found. | |
| I think there would have been a lot more gas given to people like Candace Owens who were spouting off that, you know, like, I mean, Charlie Kirk's body was barely even cold. | |
| And she was repeating conspiracy theories people were putting up about a plane that landed nearby that was only there for a private jet that was only there for a couple of hours and then took off again shortly after the killing with no other context behind it, you know, or very little context behind it. | |
| People were already spinning up conspiracy theories about it being a professional hit and all this other stuff. | |
| And Candace, I have not checked into her content over the last couple of days. | |
| I feel I'm going to have to, I mean, of course, I'm going to have to go and listen to it because that's what I do. | |
| But I really want to, I really wanted to give her a little bit of space before I did that because, again, this is still a shocking event. | |
| You know, I'm not personally concerned for myself or my family. | |
| I don't really, you know, I'm not really concerned about that. | |
| I'm not concerned about like the cancel culture police on the alt hike coming for me or us. | |
| I don't, you know, that I've done enough. | |
| I did enough work in the background before we ever started recording the show that I'm not worried about being outed right now or in the future much. | |
| There are always ways to get around, you know, the system as it is. | |
| So I do feel a little more vindicated because at first I was like, well, you know, we could maybe come back in December with a Patreon. | |
| And, you know, then I start seeing all this stuff going down and all of these people clearly joyful that they can now go after people for making a joke about Charlie Kirk's death or about Trump in relation to Charlie Kirk's death as what happened with Jimmy Kimmel. | |
| You know, Kimmel is not my favorite entertainer by far, but he didn't say anything out of hand, really. | |
| I watched the clip and it's available in various places. | |
| I'm not going to link to it here. | |
| I'm just going to record this and put it up. | |
| But Kimmel didn't do anything wrong. | |
| What he said about Trump, about Trump in regards to Charlie Kirk, was pretty tame, even by like Charlie Kirk's own standards. | |
| So, you know, it's clearly just, I think the main theory that a lot of people have is that Kimmel was let go and the network was really looking for any reason to do it. | |
| Not because ABC necessarily wanted to do that, but because there's a, you know, there's some sort of big-ass merger going on with some ABC stations. | |
| That's basically it. | |
| I mean, other places have done more and better coverage on it than I would ever attempt to. | |
| So, you know, I just, I mean, if you're going to look that up, just, you know, search for, you know, Jimmy Kimmel, ABC merger, Nexstar. | |
| I know is one of the companies involved. | |
| I think it's Nexstar in Sinclair. | |
| So that's basically it. | |
| I really, I don't have any dog in that fight aside from, you know, Kimmel's an entertainer. | |
| He's a guy with his own show, etc. | |
| And that show employs a couple hundred people. | |
| Hopefully they can, you know, move on and get jobs. | |
| But yeah, as far as we are concerned, as far as me and my son are concerned, we're doing fine. | |
| It's just, it's been a heavy two weeks for us. | |
| And I did not have the time to really get into the dirt on the show as I would like to have done. | |
|
Focus On Next Episode
00:00:58
|
|
| So I will be trying to focus some more time on doing that over this next week so that we can put out an episode anywhere between next Wednesday to next Friday. | |
| Probably Friday. | |
| But yeah, I mean, it is what it is. | |
| Everyone, please stay safe. | |
| Watch what you say online. | |
| Unless you have your own, you know, alt account that you use for shit. | |
| And then just go buck wild. | |
| I guess. | |
| You know, be a fucking American. | |
| That's it. | |
| I wish everybody the best. | |
| And hopefully the next time that you hear from me, it will be on episode 39 of our show, which is based on episode 13 of A Shot in the Dark. | |
| Yep. | |
| Yep. | |
| We are still in that fucking noise. | |
| All right, everybody. | |
| That's it. | |
