If Anyone's Listening

We cover so much ground.. so many opinions.. so much nuance but you already knew that.  Just remember... "Distance only makes the heart grow fonder" so you this podcast will fondle you for sure.  A megasode is better than none.  I woulda also like to fully disclose that I do not really member anything recorded from this podcast so nothing I said can or will be held against me.Follow the fellas on the gram:@fromthejvmp@bumpcontrol@dumpsterfiretcg. (special guest)WEBSITE IS LIVE: www.EmpureUSA.com

Ben Bradshaw is in the building folks! Specifically my house! Aye o! I REFUSE to elaborate on what is discussed in the episode summary.  This is a podcast, an audio format.  If I wanted to write I wouldn't have a podcast! If you live in MI go to his shows and tell him Empure sent you.

Hours before Bumpcontrol's Bachelor Party we did a podcast.  That's the pitch.

The fellas from Bamfomania come to talk some shop.

Artist, photographer and east side native "City Taxes" joins the IAL universe.  IG: @CityTaxes

BJO brings his portable VHS player and we watch Above the Law while podcasting. What more do you people want.. other than back to regularly scheduled programming? 

Nino makes he return to IAL for a weekend in Detroit.  NSFW. 

I will teach you how to love again featuring the fellas from “Let's Explore This”

im lazy here's the bio.

Hello folks, not sure that anyone even reads this but if you are thank you- truly.  I was ready to quit podcasting and thought the jig was up but I realized the game needs me... Lol jk I need the game.  I could never abandon the IALoyaists out in these trenches fiending for content in an impure world. I have a decent backlog I've been building up.  I plan to stick to the original formula with some additions I always wanted but were not possible when living back home.  Expect at least one a week. I cannot thank everyone for continuing to download episodes because if that was not the case I would have quit.  God bless. 

You are now tuned into the most nuanced podcast in the world... specifically Detroit Michigan as well.  Once I fix my god damn computer we are back on regularly scheduled programming."I'VE SEEN THE FUTURE & IT'S EMPURE!"

Hello Folks WE ARE BACK FROM THE DEAD.  It shouldn't have been this long but my fucking GarageBand will not let me export any files without them glitching... Shout out BubbbaWhyy from Bamfomania for editing these podcasts for me while trying to not break my My MacBook... On top of that, my $800 is also not connecting to the damn computer but that's a discussion for another day.There was a part 1 of the Birthday Bobcats. Volume 4 that will may not be uploaded until my computer is fixed.  With that being said, it feels good to be back and I'd like to thank everyone to continue to support the show through the drought.The game has changed and Empure's stock is glo'in up.STAY FROSTY FELLAS.

BETTER LATE THAN EVER.  WTF I THINK I'M TMZ! 

We cover the controversial Libs of TikTok with nothing but nuance. A bit late to the party but only the cool kids show up at midnight anyway. 

We are know the premier hip hop podcast of Michigan. IAL IS THE GOAT NO CAP.  We cover so much wild rap news.  Complex has nothing on IAL.   Who doesn't want to TAP IN with 2 MAYO CRAZY ASS WHITE BOYS to cover RAP and THE CULTURE.   Benzino is about to be a major player in the IAL canon... 

Alex of Bamfomania joins the pod to discuss a YouTube rabbit hole he sent me down on vigilant YouTube pedo hunters.  It's gone from a channel to a genre and well... you just have to see it for yourself.  We talk about others things as well.  TouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrC04xmDd8npfNCCdyc7XAgCheck out Dome with Bamfomania on all streaming platforms but only if you've listened to every single IAL episode.

We take a deep dive into the history of fake martial arts inspired by the D.U.S.T guy you've seen on TikTok.  This one was a blast. Sorry for hiatus we will return to weekly uploads. WARNING: THE EMPURE MIND POISON TECHNIQUE CAN GET YOU KILLED!

Fresh off a week cruise, Bumpcontrol tells us of his experience and we have some world crushing nuance on the cruise industry.  What else did you expect?

Brendan Luso of "Tales From The Pod" joins the If Anyone's Listening to tell us his story.  He dives into "The Big Dog Ideology" and his life travels thus far.  It was a pleasure.Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/talesfromthemallApocalypse Confidentialhttps://apocalypse-confidential.com

Ladies & Gentleman... we got him.... OUTTA HIS PARENTS HOUSE!  In celebration of my new apartment bumpcontrol and I did my first day out podcast.  I talk about the moving experience and end up going hard in the paint for like 2 hours.  We talk moving, dating apps, the insane things women post in their profiles, working from home, and much more.  Also this is now a DATING PODCAST. We will provide you a path to getting ladies on the hellish experience of dating apps.    

In late January of 2022 one 6'4 man in NYC had the audacity to go on multiple dates with mildly attractive mid 20's white women who spend too much time on Tik Tok and didn't call them back.  This would prove to be worst mistake of his life. If Anyone's Listening tackles the social media saga with the unbridled nuance you have come to love or are being introduced to.Thanks for listening.. Buy a shirt and help us keep the lights on.www.EmpureUSA.com 

You are now tuned into the most P Cast on the market.  You are P, I am P, we are all P but not everyones created Pequally.  We will be back to regular weekly uploads, the next episodes are some of the best and I've said that before but repeating stories isn't something we do here at IAL.. am I right folks? No outdo  music one this one, because none of the downloads are working which not P. Thanks for listening and shout out to Lebanon. 

This is the final episode of the mega dump and definitely a step in the direction I want to take this podcast.  I haven't drank booze in like 9 weeks now and think that has made a night and day difference in this podcast. There's a lot of what I have come to terms with being "cringe episodes" with things I don't necessarily agree with but am gonna leave them up.  I wasn't taking the pod seriously and was just going through the motions and feel very good about these episodes.  I hope you enjoy them.  STAY EMPURE EVERYONE

We were on one for this one.  Cant thank everyone enough for continuing to listen. Good things are coming.

Found a better episode we had recorded from November that got lost in the vault.  Noted cheater and gamer in arms IAN THE GOAT makes his grand debut on If Anyone's Listening and informs me of the STDs I recently contracted.  He enlightens us on what jail in Kentucky is like  and joins the IAL canon.  I also talked about World War II way too much. What an action packed episode.   Maybe one day you can play XBOX Live with us. 

Bumpcontrol and I talk fetishes, building Gundams, the infinite wisdom of Kevin Gates, New Year anxiety, the journey of success, and I ramble about the insanity of the Epstein case.Buy a shirt:www.EmpureUSA.comLeave a 5 star review on the pod! 

Well I was honestly pretty optimistic on this birthday.  Sorry for being a POS and not sticking to the upload schedule.  I am plotting on how to improve the show and bring back some inspired episode.  I have been doing this for over 2 years now and feel like I'm doing a shit job.  Thanks for sticking with me everyone or anyone listening.One day you will be proud (pick your own term lol)  to say you listened to this stupid podcast before it was big.    Thanks for listening guys.

I have been reading woke tweets again guys.... I found out some crazy shit. We need to stand in solidarity with our asexual brothers and sisters.  It's totally valid and very realistic to have meaningful relationships with other people and not expect or want any sex. Thanks folks go sexually de-colonize your mind, relationships, and world.

Andy of the Driftwood Outlet stops by to chat with Austin and I on the gym, Afghanistan, and other nuanced shit.  It has come to my attention that the "H Word" is no longer socially acceptable but my neighbor is a veteran so he would probably let me say it.  Stay EMPURE FOLKSwww.EmpureUSA.com
