The Shit Show Radio Hour

SHOW NOTES: In Today's Episode of the Greatest Shit Show on Earth: Social media is the most fabulous manipulator of the last several generations, if not of all time. We do nothing to protect ourselves from what algorithms gather about each of us individually, let alone what they collect from us as a nation in the interest of international personal interest. As Americans, we have the mindset, "Who gives a shat what they know about me? I could care less what anyone eventually finds out about the most intimate aspects of who I am." That's fair, but what if learning more about "you" was never the point? What if the entire point of social media algorithms was to gather national intelligence on social patterns of the whole western culture? Be serious; how important do you think you are? Are you a sick and mentally ill narcissist? We are so grossly blind to our self-importance we never considered there might be a larger conspiracy at play.  Yes, it may be that every time we log into Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or TikTok, we might provide our enemy with deep AI data into the patterns that define us, our daily life mindset, and the fundamental mechanics of how we exist; but it blows right over our heads.    That is the real threat social media has on us with its mining data. Not what it learns about you or me, but the intel it gathers from all of us. We never consider it has little to do with who we are individually but rather what we provide enemy nations as a culture.           SHOW STRUCTURE: Act I - Introductions and Pleasantries -  Act II:  Intermittent Reinforcement Act III - The Wrap Up  

SHOW NOTES: In Today's Episode of the Greatest Shit Show on Earth: Every week, shocking headlines continue to dominate the news, continually escalating to a new level we couldn't imagine the week before. Stand-up comedians continue to be targeted and threatened. Americans should be appalled by the threat placed on comedians and their lives. Does no one care about or cherish the life of an adult man just trying to make a living by telling funny hardy-hahas on stage to distract us from our poorly miss guided anger? Are the Dave Chappelle's of the world to be tossed in a dumpster and discarded with no plan B? Are we supposed to just accept that his life means nothing compared to the unborn fetus that is technically still only a sperm slug?   While we are asking these deep philosophical questions, what is life anyway? Is it merely a simulation being played by an advanced being with Cthulu God-like powers? Is this supreme being only trying to distract himself from his own cosmic chaotic turmoil, hoping that all of his problems will be resolved and vanish from his turbulent higher existence and consciousness?  In the grand scheme of things, maybe, as simple tiny piss-ant humanoids, we are no different from the Demon-Gods who play us as their own next-gen sim trying to level up to distract themselves from the harsh reality they aren't willing to accept. After all, isn't that how we cope with our day-to-day lives? I guess we shall find out in this week's episode. SHOW STRUCTURE: Act I - Introductions and Pleasantries -  Act II: - Master Control  Act III - The pretend worlds we escape to where the pay is nothing and the cost of living is meaningless

In Today's episode of the greatest shit show on earth: After taking last week off from catching a nasty cold that knocked me on my ass which, I'm reasonably confident, it wasn't Covid either. It didn't feel the same as the previous two times I came down with it. Then earlier in the week, I received devastating news. My friend, who I've known, respected, and loved for more than 15 years, didn't win the battle after suffering a massive heart attack he had last week. It was all but imperative to finish the second part of my two-part series on dysfunctional relationships.  Each episode addresses toxicity in relationships. I cover high-profile examples like Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, Johnny Depp, and Amber Hurts to the toxic, unstable relationship I find myself in.  This extended episode of more than an hour and a half isn't the typical perspective you've heard covering Will Smith, who slapped comedian Chris Rock live at the Academy Awards. The same can be said about the defamation trial between Johnny Depp and the very unstable Amber Hurts.   Instead, I dive deeper into the heart of many of the issues plaguing relationships across America and the world, like mental illness, unethical non-monogeny, kink, betrayal, and unhealthy power exchanges. I even lightly cover the art of reading body language, the Psychology of Behavior Analysis, Persuasion. and criminal Interrogation.  If that weren't enough, I get personal with my own experience dealing with my oldest son's late teen diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). With all that to unpack in just one episode, it should be no surprise that the show went an extra 45 minutes long.    There is only one way to make sense of the shit show we all find ourselves in: By tuning into the latest episode of The TSS Radio Hour.    SHOW NOTES: In Today's Episode of the Greatest Shit Show on Earth: Act I -  As An Advanced Civilisations, Earthlings are the Rednecks  Act II - When Comparing Amber Heard To Jada, Will Smith Is A Lucky Man Act III - There Is Nothing Ethical About Robbing Others of their Opportunity to choose  For themselves Check Out The Extras: Please take a look at Spidey's Youtube Channel for fascinating content about Body Language, Behavior Analysis, and Persuasion.  Support him by liking and subscribing to his content.

SHOW NOTES: In Today's episode of the greatest shit show on earth: I begin the show slightly differently than usual. I begin on a personal note, of my own struggles dealing with recently related relationship troubles that fall in line with today's show. Pursuing a toxic and codependent relationship can wear on the soul. I learned a lot more about what it really means to raise a new member of the family — a puppy, and how hard it is to come up with a name the entire family likes. I finally chose to address the Will Smith and Chris Rock Academy Wards Ceremony debacle, and the controversially violent attack from Will Smith during a live recording.  In this two-part series, I first ramble about the new headset I recently invested in to better hear those sound issues I keep complaining on and on about. Does the headset help me or hinder me?  Even though I am addressing the controversial slap heard around the world, over the course of two episodes, I will try to focus on areas where other comedians and stars haven't honed in on. Where were Will Smith's emotions really coming from?  Out of the three, could it be Jada Pinkett Smith who's pulling on his heartstrings.    Jada in a recent interview talked about her loss of hair and how it wasn't an issue for her; what should we make of this new revelation?  What did body language experts learn from the drama that unfolded between the three during the Academy Awards that we didn't?  How will this affect comedians and their performances going forward? Did Free speech also take a punch to the face or does the fallout from that evening finally reverse this constant attack on what comedians should or should not joke about?  There is only one way to find out, by tuning in.  SHOW STRUCTURE:   Pre-show confession - How easy it is to not see the hurts two people can cause in a relationship. Act I: -  The last several years took a toll on comedians in regards to their powerful perspective when free speech faces a roadblock to the end of a punch line but also their personal safety while they are on stage.  Also, I share my personal opinion of what I think and how I feel about Jada Pinkett Smith. Act II - Wrapping up until the next Episode.

In Today's episode of the greatest shit show on earth: I finally get a new episode out after 3 weeks of pure bullshit. Between a massive audio issue that seized my production, a health issue that I may or may not divulge in this episode, and even family responsibilities, I weighted the world against me but I got this episode out. Act, I, II, and III can lick my ... (laughing)  Look, it is going to be worth the long pause.

In Today's episode of the greatest shit show on earth: Let's imagine for a moment you never listen to Fox News but they already accounted for this. The owners, creators, and CEOs of Fox News Media already anticipated this scenario. There is even a name for it. The Hack Gap. What is it? How does it work? Are we all aware of the results? All this is explained in my newest episode.   Act I: - The Fox News Thought Experiment Act II - The Hack GapAct III - Episode Wrap Up  

In Today's episode of the greatest shit show on earth: The question I ask in today's show is this: What is the problem with Americans? What makes everyone think America is the greatest country when it's filled with people like you and me? I know the perception of the world might be that we live in the best country, but, do we? How can this be true when America is filled with Americans? It doesn't seem possible so long as we are a part of the equation. I keep posing this question throughout the entire episode. America has a problem and it might just be us. If we are the problem… Then tell me… What IS the problem with us? Could it be that we are standing in our way of making this country great again? Find out in today's episode.  Act I: - A Gameshow! Bob, tell them what they'll win!!! Act II - Baby Steps: First a left step, then a right step. Act III - Star-Spangled Awesome

In Today's episode of the greatest shit show on earth: I know its not Monday but because this episode is finally droping on Friday... Well that's how my shit show went this week.  Do you remember the very first time you were exposed to the truth about your parents? Hold onto that thought. Shit shows are everywhere in life, all burning out of control, but how did we not spot them? These sorts of things just don't pop into existence from thin air. Every shit show begins its life as one tiny seed; its watered daily with poor decisions and then before we know it, the seed takes root. How in the hell is it then, we never catch it becoming a weed before it spreads across our backyard? Why is it I always feel like Wile E. Coyote unexpectedly slamming face first into a fake tunnel painted onto the side of a mountain? Maybe it looks all too familiar so, it goes un-noticed. What was I talking about earlier? Oh, yeah, I remember now. Act I: - I'm not Chamomile and comfortAct II - I'm the Papa of the houseAct III - Episode Wrap Up

In this episode of The Shit Show Radio Hour, Lonnie Bruhn returns to the topic of Vladimir Putin and his unjust nostalgic love affair with a past and ancient Russia that is impossible to ever get back again. Even if he were to succeed by conquering a peaceful nation looking to write its own history rather than living under the boot of a mad man. More than that though, this episode is about a world of copycat Autocratic mindsets looking to take back what's slipping from their grips. An old world where they still hold all of the power even at the cost of freedom or maybe even at the cost of our own civilization. But yeah, it's also funny.

s2-Ep: 19: Putin up with Vladimir In this episode of The Shit Show Radio Hour, Lonnie unpacks the geopolitical history of Russia. There is a significant important fact being left out of the discussion of the current crisis in Europe.  Knowing the ties between Ukraine and Russia which date back to ancient Russia, and the rise of the Slavic Empire; this small morsel of history might better help us all understand Vladimir Pututin's motives.   Moreover, it also might just lend us a sobering reality as to why Putin will not simply back down. His motives are not trivial! His motives are just the sort of thing that sparks world wars. Show Notes & Bonas Content: Most of the content I discussed came from the research I read from this article. It's a worth the read. http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/news/66181

In this episode of The Shit Show Radio Hour, Lonnie Bruhn embraces that Friday is a victory for all of us because we won the week.

We can't be victorious unless we all own each and every minute of  our mistakes.

AND it is pact with all of the comedy we need to start out our week with PLUS a dab of the sh*t that makes this podcast real during wrap-up.

In a very special episode of The Shit Show Radio Hour: Lonnie Bruhn recorded a whopping 1hr and 31 minute show, but Bruhn says it's his favorite show to date because the sheer amount of time he put towards researching this topic: Lonnie walks listeners through the entire history behind the decades old fierce senate partisan battle that led to the unprecedented decision by the GOP to force their fast-track party line vote nominating Judge Amy Coney Barrett as our 9th Supreme Court justice. What many people don't know, the timeline began as far back as 2003 when the senate Democrat minority blocked 10 of George W. Bush's nominations; waging a senate battle in the upper chamber with the Republican led Majority . However, there is a plot twist Republicans never like to bring up. This battle lasted through 2005 until the infamous “Gang of 14” saved the day in the final minutes of Defcon 4 by fostering a peace agreement between both sides of the isle. A written agreement that kept peace until 2013. Make no mistake though, the battle waged in 2003 for supremacy, it had never truly come to an end. The real truth is, a decade earlier, a full on war had been waged. That war— it had only just begun. Support Link: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/tssradiohour

In this episode of The Shit Show Radio Hour: Lonnie Bruh reminisces about a time in American political history when debates were informative and even entertaining. A time so long ago, it seems like the folklore only bards sang about. A time when the two candidates had a healthy exchange of ideas, differences between their party policy and a direction they each wanted to see the country head in.

In this episode of The Shit Show Radio Hour: Lonnie Bruhn discusses how there is no more political cover left to protect and rescue the GOP from the party's doom but emphasising how they only have themselves to blame. It is pointed out how increasingly clear how desperate the party has become since handcuffing themselves to this sinking Titanic Cheeto Puff.  In the first segmen Lonnie opens with audio from a recent press conference, showing to what length the Republican party is willing to go to distance themselves from Donald Trump when house minority leader, representative Kevin McCarthy made a breathtaking honest confession to the American people. Then Lonnie speaks candidly about his mother's recent diagnosis with Covid-19 before slaughtering Lindsey Graham's pathetic plea to American voters as he joins 10 other republicans desperately trying to hold onto their power. Finally Bruhn closes out with a few debate talking points Trump argued many of you may have missed in all the white noise of the first worst 2020 presidential debate in all of presidential debate history.  Support Link: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/tssradiohour

In this episode of The Shit Show Radio Hour: Lonnie Bruhn points out the relentless onslaught of the disinformation campaign, lies, and hypocrisy being shoveled down our throats from the GOP senate majority leadership as we close in on the final weeks of a highly contested election. Lonnie hilarious exposes the flawed argument Senator Ted Cruz tried to argue on the floor of the Senate using Ruth Bader Ginsburg's own words against her. He then takes great pleasure spotlighting Chris Wallace's thought experiment which obliterates Tom Cotton and his G.O.P. party's rational thinking behind why a SCOTUS nominee should be confirmed with only 6 weeks away from an election. Then for no reason at all but pure joy, he makes fun of Senator Lindsey Graham for being a drunk.  Then finally; he tries to rally every bleeding heart liberals to murder their soft hearts, go low and play by the same despicable playground rules the GOP have been using for years as a way to derail American Democracy as a way to create a one party system that gives them ultimate power over our once great nation.

In this special daily segment of, “15 min of flame”: Lonnie Bruhn explains why the real doomsday scenario might not be one where Donald Trump wins another 4 more years as POTOS. Even as nightmarish as this prospect sounds. Yes, For many Americans, it is a horrifying thought to imagine a second term from a psychopathic, conspiracy-theorist, and narcissist with a better understanding on how to govern. However, not in the traditional sense though; from having already served in office but more likely from reading the book, “Governing America for Dummies.” Instead, I suspect the real doomsday scenario is one where Trump is not re-elected to office for a second term, with the possibility of republicans losing their senate majority, and the democrats retaining their house majority. With elections just around the corner this is what most concerns Trump, his administration and his party. A lot is at stake, and losing is the least of their problems.   Please consider supporting TSS Radio Hour. TSS Radio Hour Backstage

In this episode of The Shit Show Radio Hour: Lonnie Bruhn tries to explore the perspective of what this new world appears to look like through the lens of the younger generations. The problem is, the wheels on this bus come off early and that bus drives right over the edge of a cliff and everyone dies in what will go down as the Hindenburg of podcast installments. You the listeners are the only witnesses to this tragic event. In Lonnie's own words, "I might have been under lockdown and socially isolated for far too long. In the span of my 20 year career in entertainment, I've never experienced such a complete derailing of everything I had planned. By the end, not even the original premise could be put back together again, so there was no chance at all to share some other perspectives. I loved it! I'll never forget you episode 3."

In this episode of The Shit Show Radio Hour: Lonnie Bruhn ponders this: old people sort of run the country and he thinks we should be able to agree that old people aren't the greatest examples of all our best generations. From his mind being taken hostage, to thoughts of his dad meeting his new friend to Uncle Ted, Black Annie and Thanksgiving, old army ants that go to war to his mom who didn't feel like praying to God. This episode has it all, but wait until you get to the end. Lonnie basically laughs through the entire podcast, and in the end he goes manic.

In this first episode of, "The Shit Show Radio Hour Podcast" Lonnie Bruhn poses this question: Setting our partisan politics aside, if we met Donald Trump, not as the most powerful figure of the free world, but as an ordinary man who was having a few too many drinks at the end of the bar; what would that look like? The reality is this: perspective is everything. From that notion, we may be surprised to learn that we are actually less divided as a nation than we think
