About this listen

Observations and opinions from some dude who’s been around a while. TV and commercials are constantly telling you what to buy, who to vote for, where to go, how to get there and what to think. It’s easy to get lulled into believing their message when they bombard you with it at every opportunity.

This podcast aims to simply shed a light on these tricks that ultimately affect our behavior so that we can take back control and make our own choices.

  • OTC Pain Relievers and Hotdogs
    Mar 14 2024

    A mix of annoyances in one episode. How effective and safe are Over-The-Counter pain relievers? Do Hotdogs really require some of the ingredients that are in them? How much personal hygiene products are we supposed to waste?

    I really don’t want to play the Social Media game and get pulled into their timesuck. So, I have no FaceBook, Instagram, X (Twitter), or SnapChat accounts. If you want to holler at me, try good old-fashioned email. I know it’s 1990’s, but I’m not likely gonna read it anyway.

    New, shorter intro.

    Earth is a planet that floats around our solar system. That constant motion causes, what we call, weather. It’s normal and natural. Earth has been having heat, snow, floods, wildfires, hurricanes, tornadoes, etc. for EVER. But if you listen to the media, it’s new and catastrophic. Hype to get you excited, so you watch, and they bombard you with….you guessed it….commercials! El Nino, La Nina….it’s all BS.

    It is 2024, I’m not suggesting that you go out and buy a weather rock. But some of you must be watching this garbage.

    This is a delicate subject that wasn’t easy, but just had to be addressed. You’ll just have to listen for yourself.

    I certainly hope I was fair and respectful.
