    Hello, it's me, Rodney Smith. I've been navigating my way through the world of social media, transitioning from podcasting to focusing primarily on YouTube, a platform I deeply care about. I've been vocal about my concerns over the increasing censorship and the impact of cancel culture. I've also shared my personal experiences, from dealing with bullying to the struggles of maintaining relationships. I've learned to acknowledge my own faults and understand the importance of personal growth. Recently, I've delved into the 'looks maxing' subreddit, which has opened my eyes to the pervasive insecurity and need for validation in our society. Join me on this journey as we continue to explore, learn, and grow together.

  • Corey Feldman is Michael Jackson 2.0
    Feb 28 2024

    Join me on the Lord Petty podcast, where we dive into the realities of being busy, the struggles of being a creative, and the importance of staying productive. We'll also discuss the need for competence in diversity and share some thoughts on the world of sports. Plus, we'll have a laugh at some of the most cringe-worthy moments in Hollywood. Don't miss out on this rollercoaster of a conversation. Remember to subscribe to our YouTube channel and check out my book, The Petty Principles. Let's get real, let's get busy, let's get weird.

    Summary:

    Sure, here's the summary rewritten in the first person:

    As I delve into the podcast episode, I find myself reflecting on the fine line between being busy and being truly productive. It's a topic that's been on my mind lately, especially considering the conventional 8-hour workday. I argue that productivity often wanes after a certain point, emphasizing the importance of using time effectively for meaningful pursuits.

    Moving on to the discussion of balancing day jobs with creative passions, I share my belief that there's no shame in having a day job. In fact, it can provide stability while pursuing one's passion without succumbing to the struggles of being a "starving artist."

    Shifting gears, I express my frustrations with forced diversity in media, citing examples from sports and entertainment. The conversation takes a humorous turn as I critique Cory Feldman's recent performance, describing it as a "train wreck" with awkward stage presence and lackluster talent.

    Reacting to a segment featuring Feldman on Howard Stern's show, I can't help but express disbelief and amusement at the spectacle. Throughout the podcast, I provide humorous commentary on Feldman's lip-syncing, awkward dance moves, and overall absurdity.

    In closing, I reflect on the challenges faced by childhood stars like Feldman, noting the potential pitfalls of early fame and the toll it can take on mental well-being.

    Overall, the podcast episode captures my comedic style and willingness to entertain while exploring a range of topics, from productivity and work-life balance to celebrity culture and entertainment.
