Every comic fan know that a superhero is NOTHING without an arch nemesis, and Real Life Superheroes are no exception.  If you thought RLSH was underground….keep digging.  There you will find the Real Life Supervillains.  Watch helplessly as they take over your city's sarcastic output and focus it on your local hero, reducing him to […]

A long time ago, in an age well before COVID-19... the real-life superhero community had a counter-balance: Real-life supervillains. Unlike their comic-book counterparts who typically sought only money, chaos, or to become top of the villainous "food chain," RLSV actually helped to bring a sense of integrity and heretofore-unknown levels of accountability by calling out individuals or groups who, to put it nicely, had room for improvement in the way they chose to be "heroic." Fast-forward to 2021: The RLSV have all but vanished or renounced their villainous ways, leaving RLSH to police themselves. But just how well is that working out? In this age of so-called "cancel culture," can real-life superheroes now do the job that once required villainous intervention? Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? (click here to learn how to pronounce "who will guard the guards themselves?" in Latin!) Tune in to Heroes 101 Radio this WEDNESDAY, March 17th, 6pm PT/9pm ET and cross your fingers that we'll hear from some villainous guests (who are still checking their dastardly datebooks)!

Impact, NightBug, and Rock N Roll are back and they're bringing the good vibes with them.  (C'mon, 2020 was a sh#tshow of a year; we could use some positive news!) We'll tell you who's doing what and where and why you should care. Hey- that rhymes ... On the serious side, there are many exciting things happening in the RLSH community; people need a good shout-out every now and then.  Plus, we're inviting you to call in and tell us something good that's going on with you.  Moved to *Thursday*, Feb 25, 6PM PT/ 9PM ET

In a time where Marvel, DC and Starwars couldn't be bigger the crew takes a look at real-life superheroes and what impact they have on their community. What defines a RLSH and could there be one near you? Have a listen to find out.

Where do you go to find fellow RLSH teammates? More importantly, where do you go to find quality teammates who are consistent, stable and long-lasting?  We discuss this and much more on this episode of HEROES 101 Radio. 

In light of the recent murders committed by someone who thought he was protecting his community, Rock, Impact, and NightBug invite you to join this important discussion about the differences between real-life "superheroing" and vigilantism/murder. Our featured guest speakers are Treesong, branch leader of the Illinois Initiative, and Thomas Strange aka "Old School" of the Boston, Massachusetts  Initiative. We welcome you to join the online discussion via phone call, live chat, or to just listen in. TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8th @ 7pm PT / 10 pm ET.

Before there was QAnonBefore there was PizzagateBefore there PlandemicThere Was... THE PHANTOM PATRIOT! Believe it or not, there was a time when the "Deep State" wasn't a term in mainstream usage and Alex Jones hadn't appeared on national television dueling with media personalities like Megyn Kelly and Piers Morgan. In fact, there was a time when sitting U.S. Presidents didn't make cryptic statements about their political opponents being controlled by "people in dark shadows" (although Hillary Clinton did make a reference to the existence of a 'vast right-wing conspiracy' back in the day). But just because conspiracy theory is chic nowadays doesn't mean it been with us for a long time, although with incidents like the Comet Ping Pong arson by a Pizzagate truther or the child kidnapping by a QAnon mom conspiracy theories have come under greater scrutiny. For example, an internal FBI memo from 2019 named QAnon and Pizzagate believers as a potential domestic terrorist threat. Meanwhile, "Sandy Hook Truthers", who believe the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in 2012 was actually a hoax involving paid "crisis actors" to foment sweeping gun control legislation in the U.S., have been caught harassing victims' families. Not all conspiracy theorists are created equally though. For example, should the aging JFK assassination theorist Robert Groden really have been arrested 82 times by the Dallas Police Department for distributing conspiracy DVDs and literature in Dealey Plaza? Maybe not. That being said, incidents like the Comet Ping Pong arson and crimes with QAnon connections like the aforementioned child kidnapping or the murder of a Gambino Crime Family mob boss seem to be another matter entirely and not to be taken lightly. Prior to all these incidents, however, there was a rather strange case in the California's usually quiet Sonoma County that generally flew under the radar. On January 19th, 2002 a man dressed in superhero costume and wearing a skull mask attempted a raid on the Bohemian Grove under the belief that it was a location used by global Satanic elites to sacrifice children to the Babylonian owl god Moloch. After a stand-off in which the masked man pointed a rifle at confused and scared police officers, the vigilante raider was apprehended. That masked man's name was Richard McCaslin, a cosplayer and Batman stuntman at a Six Flags amusement. Cosplayer, however, may be a bit of an understatement. Richard was a member of what is known as the Real Life Superhero community. RLSH's usually engage in acts of community service like, say, neighborhood watch. Richard, on the other hand, engaged in vigilantism. After watching the Alex Jones documentary Dark Secrets: Inside Bohemian Grove, McCaslin donned his superhero attire and traveled to Sonoma County, California as his alter ego The Phantom Patriot in an attempt to stop what he believed was the nefarious activities Alex Jones alleged were occurring at Bohemian Grove. Granted, Bohemian Grove does raise an eyebrow or two upon initial examination. This is because the Grove is a vacation retreat for members of the highly exclusive Bohemian Club, whose motto is the slightly spooky "Weaving Spiders Come Not Here". Originally the Bohemian Club's membership was mainly artists. In fact, early members included the likes of Jack London and Mark Twain. What raises an eyebrow for more conspiratorially-minded though is the fact that the Bohemian Club's membership has since then gone on to include such global power players as former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and former U.S. Presidents like Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush. In this way the Grove acts as a vacation getaway for elites to let loose once a year. On it's own that wouldn't seem to insidious. But then there's the rather odd ritual known as the "Cremation of Care" where the world's most powerful men dress in robes and sacrifice their "Dull Care" to a giant owl statue surrounded by fire in dead of night. Granted such strangeness could be chalked up to the goofy hijinks of the world's most powerful men letting their juvenile freak loose like they're at Burning Man. That's not what Richard McCaslin, The Phantom Patriot, believed though. For McCaslin the Grove was a location where Satan-worshipping elites committed ritual sacrifices of innocent children beneath a pagan moon... and it was the duty of the Phantom Patriot to thwart their sinister efforts. Now, the story of Richard McCaslin, alias the Phantom Patriot, may, upon initial inspection, seem to be nothing more than the story of a foolish crank. But upon closer examination can something more be gleaned from his story? What, for example, leads someone like McCaslin to become a conspiracy theory-prone vigilante? And is there a grain of truth to criticism of Bohemian Grove that is revealed through his story? After all, does a citizen like McCaslin, when put on trial, get the same treatment as a uber-wealthy man like Robert Durst, the subject of the HBO series The Jinx that may have gotten away with multiple murders for years? Does the Bohemian Grove, beyond all the tabloid sensationalism of Alex Jones documentaries and books like self-described "mind controlled sex slave survivor" Cathy O'Brien's Trance-Formation of America, offer networking opportunities that are not afforded to the average citizen? Why do misguided true believers like Richard McCaslin, who exhibited creative in various creative pursuits over his lifetime, seem to never reach their full potential while conspiracy hustlers like Alex Jones (who denounced McCaslin after the raid and offered him no support) make millions of dollars off fake supplements and receive international media attention? Tea Krulos, author of American Madness: the Story of the Phantom Patriot and How Conspiracy Theories Hijacked American, joins us on this edition of Parallax Views to answer those questions and more as we delve into the wild true story of Richard McCaslin aka The Phantom Patriot. Oh, and he also reveals, at the end of the program, a real conspiracy perpetrated by the Bohemian Grove against the Phantom Patriot! All that and more on this edition of Parallax Views. P.S. - Yes, McCaslin is the subject of the Les Claypool song "The Phantom Patriot".

That chinky looking Chinese looking fucking piece of shit stewie griffin baby. I fucking hate every single god forsaken scene its in. Its face makes me want to just fucking pull it out of thr TV and beat the ever loving fuck out of it until it starts to bleed out and I just let it die on the fucking street and maybe throw it in front of a train. Its fucking annoying piece of shit laugh and the way it just treats sid, diego and manfred like they're his fucking slaves and just whines and does that fucking annoying laugh and shit. For fucks sake I want 20th century fox to make a version wherr they jump the shit out of that baby and it fucking dies the most painful death humanly possible and breaks all of its bones before they eat it alive. I've put so many holes in the wall my mom is threatening to kick me out all because of this stupid piece of shit baby I fucking hate so much.

Believe it or not, summer is the season when you're more likely to be needed as someone's hero. With kids out of school and on vacation, the chances for injury and crime increase.

Did the title grab you? Good! In our last episode, we talked about a code of ethics for RLSH, created by RLSH. In this follow-up episode, we'll discuss ways (if any) to enforce the code of ethics.  Things to think about:  What would you do/say to other RLSH who are behaving in a way that's harmful/destructive to others, themselves, or the public view of RLSH? What constitutes "destructive" or "harmful" behavior? Why does reporting matter? Should there be a code of ethics committee? Why or why not? If so, how would you choose the committee? What sanctions would be imposed for violating the code of ethics? Why should you care? Whether you're a real-life superhero or not, we invite you to join Rock, NightBug, and Impact by calling, joining the chatroom or just listening in. Bring your thoughts to the table this Thursday. 7PM PT/10PM ET

From "grey man" to the ][nitiative to the Xtreme Justice League and everything in between, a wide range of outfits and names are represented within the RLSH community.

Together they will be discussing how self-presentation is becoming a critical factor for real-life superheroes, and ways RLSH can improve their image and be taken more seriously - by both their peers and the communities they look after.

We’ll be discussing the digital age of vigilantism, our sister community of ‘Websleuths’ and how cyber research can be an invaluable skill to hone for any Real-Life Superhero team. Groundwork is not for everyone, so if you want to know how you can contribute to your community from home, and pick up some research tips and links to resources along the way, then listen in, call in, or join the live chat room on Tuesday, the 7th at 7PM PST.  

We consider it a good sign when our shows run over their alloted time. Such was the case with last week's episode on how to work with your civic leaders.  This week Rock invites her guest host, Impact, back to continue the conversation and to discuss more about the "grey man" concept for those who want to blend into the crowd while patrolling. Last week we were also joined via phone by former New York Initiative leader, Zero aka Jack Cero. Who knows who will join in this week? You'll just have to listen in to find out.

On this episode of HEROES 101, Rock welcomes this week's guest host and RLSH, "Impact" from Durham, NC.  Our topic is a Real-Life Superhero-specific topic, but can also be applied to any non-RLSH who are interested in finding ways to serve their communities.  We'll examine the possible reasons for the lack of RLSH who have established a connection with their local civic leaders (law enforcement, the mayor, soup-kitchen organizers, park and rec staff, etc.), and why, despite numbers in the thousands, only a handful have proper community emergency response training. We'll also provide tips to help establish a working relationship with your city.  Also, updates on Project HOPE San Diego (July 23, 2016).  We invite you to call in or join the chat room to add your two cents to the discussion. 

Valentine's Day is not for everyone.  Which one are you on - Team Warm-and-Fuzzy or Team Love-Can-Bite-Me ?? We wanna know!  Last week, our Hearts 101 episode was so full of healthy-heart related chat that we didn't really get to discuss ways to have a happy Valentine's Day (whether you love it or abhore it), so we've extended that discussion into its own episode and we promise, at the very least, to give you ideas and make you laugh.  We're also inviting everyone to call in with their favorite dating stories, both good and bad, but we know which ones are more entertaining!! If you've ever had a date from hell, now is the time to unload that burden! It's a sort of therapy, really -- recounting your tales for all our listeners. Drs. Rock and Spectre are here for you. You'll feel lighter when you're through! Call in, join us in the chat room or just listen in!  Tuesday at 7PM PT/10PM ET  

It's February and we're getting to the heart of the matter.  (Sorry) Recently, a family member of Rock's had a heart attack. He survived (thank goodness), but we've been talking about the heart ever since. What better time to share our healthy heart tips and CPR info?  As a bonus, we've also got some kick-ass ideas for Valentine's Day, whether or not you've got a date!  Join us this Tuesday and every Tuesday at 7PM PT/10PM ET!

2015 is over - and what a year it's been! For our firstshow of the year, Heroes 101 Radio invites YOU, our listeners, to help us celebrate our favorite moments of the past year! However, since we don't like to dwell only in the past, we're also discussing ways for helping everyone have a safer, happier, healthier new year. We'll be mining both our regular listeners and various members of both the Initiative Collective and the Real-Life Superhero community for tips and ideas. We want your input! Listen, call, or follow along in the chat room and get your thoughts to us!   See you there!

There are real life superheroes among us. No. Really. There are. They have an acronym - RLSH. They have web sites. I'm fascinated by these people, and you will be too. Also: Many stories have been told this week about George Steinbrenner, but one that I haven't seen mentioned is the saga of Steve Swindal, the moron who divorced the beautiful and beguiling Jennifer Steinbrenner, daughter of George. We'll remember Steve on the show today. Also on the docket: another stupid poll proves absolutely nothing, and some of my favorite comments found online. PLUS: the infamous Mel Gibson tapes are fake, and we have proof! Listen and be amazed.
