Dad Snark Podcast

I scored a gem on this run. Gorgeous case that should've been like 3 times the price used. Moving forward kids. Pics right here .

Just a quick update on the procurement of parts in this latest endeavor. Successfully nabbed a lower end (but sufficient) GPU and got it all cleaned up, new thermal paste, and it's ready to go. See the pics here . More coming soon kids! Music from Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/hartzmann/to-the-future License code: Q4HFNLRNRNCRCNUN

So, I'm being bugged by insurance. The ultimate scam in the U.S. since...who knows? Then, after the break, it's off to the races about my latest hobby...Flipping Computers. I explain all about it extensively. I even just threw in a special report I recorded towards the end. Just cuz. Latest pics of what's up and what I'm into are here . Gotta go! Got puters to flip kids.

Seriously, quit being inconsiderate and respect those around you. People's behavior out in public is absurd right now. I won't be a part of it, but I will correct folks when I have to. Ask the noisy teens in the theatre with us last Sunday night. They were ramping up and I loudly said, "Shut Up!" and they were pretty tame afterward. Now, I'm not a big guy, but sometimes you just don't know, so shu...

Well, first I'm ticked about the selfishness of those not being vaccinated and not wearing masks. This is causing an explosion of COVID infections nationwide and for what? Not a thing! I'm into a bunch, but then I start getting heated up about the whole blue/green text bubbles thing. How ridiculous can we be people? Who cares? iPhones are not a higher-end smartphone people. Seriously. They're no l...

"So Kyle, it took so long for a new episode." "I know. It's been crazy. I'm sorry. Here's a new one." "Okay then." Yeah, so I discuss some recent thoughts by former military leaders on the possibility of (gulp!) Civil War. That's what's bugging me. You'll have to listen to all the stuff I'm into. You can also see some cool pics here. Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays! Happy New Years!

Yeah, of course, I was there. 3 segments here really. Before I went in. While I was standing in line listening to the directions and some jazz. Then on the way home. Enjoy Kids! It's gonna feel like you were there with me. Latest pics here . Peace!

>>>>>First off, I'm sorry I accidentally uploaded a 2nd segment with no audio. I didn't realize it until I played it back like usual at 4x speed to make sure it all worked on the podcast app. It's all correct now though. Thanks for your understanding.<<<<< Yeah, so I'm gonna just complain about the What-A-Burger opening here in my town. It's been a flipping madhouse....

It sure has been for me...and it's only Wednesday! Other folks are experiencing this as well this week. What about you? The Kyle Rittenhouse trial is...oh, forget it. It is what it is. I'm into a lot of things at the moment (as usual), so check out the imagery here . I'll be back next week for even more.

You guys noticing stuff not stocked out there? I have. Latest spins and more here .  See you next week!

Quick special report about my recent viewing of the new Dune film. Go forth, at once, and view it in all of it's glory. Sure, you could watch it at home on HBOMax (I probably will a few times now), but it was shot in IMAX...go see it on a big big screen people.

So, yeah, that's my puggo Dolly in the album art. I mean, she is a black dog after all. Bugged a little this week by people's willingness to forget we're all just Americans (and humans really). Got a story here for you about that. Into all kinds of stuff. Here's the latest pics to prove it.  Catch you kids next week!

Okay, so I'm skipping the hundredth episode for now and we'll circle back around and pick it up later. Logistics. So, this is an episode done in the original style. First, what's bugging me. Well, just listen. What I'm into...it's a lot. Here's links to some albums I talk about. 3rd Bass - The Cactus Album Leon Bridges - Gold-Diggers Sound Jon Batiste - We Are INXS - Listen Like Thieves Steely Dan...

If you've listened, you'll know what the title refers to. Of course, the episode art kinda gives it away as well. National Suicide Prevention Hotline - 800-273-8255 or Chat

Sorry it was so long between episodes. I've been overwhelmed with stuff in real life. This is a good recap and discussion on what's up. I will have more for you soon. Promise

What else is there to say?  Well, a lot actually. So, we had our super long fun vacation. It was incredible. Here's a load of action pics/videos . One more interview to secure for episode 100 and I've got some videos on the way as well. Enjoy! P.S. Thanks to all the morons who wouldn't get vaccinated and thus made it slightly a pain even though you've had months to get this taken care of.

Oh boy, not too awful much to say here. A short special report recording on the way to and from an early (like silly early) excursion to The Vinyl Underground at 7th Heaven for drop 2 of Record Store Day 2021. So, long story short, Record Store Day came about in 2007 when a group of independent record stores got together to promote the sale of vinyl. By then, streaming had overcome CDs for the pre...

Well, I've been away awhile. Yeah, I know. So, I'm so close to the end with Episode 100, you can probably smell it. No, that's not waste...that's the episode. Here's some stuff I discuss in this Special Report with links... There's a whole slew of YouTube stuff I'm into like... Mr. Ballen Dawid Does Tech Stuff Cruis'n Canada Sam the Cooking Guy Here's the latest spins and pics. On the audiobook fr...

So, getting the interviews and everything set up for this 100th Episode is more difficult than I'd thought. Who could've seen that coming? What? Everybody? Anyway, I'm working on it and it's gonna be a little bit. I hesitate to say an additional week as I don't think it'll happen that quickly even. Thanks for hanging with me and I will get it out there as soon as possible.

I start out thinking I'm not upset with much or I don't have anything bugging me...but don't worry, I find it. New music for me involves some Alan Parsons Project ( I, Robot ) and Starcrawler . Other than that, well... here's the recent spins and stuff . Been watching way, way too many crime docs on streaming platforms. In addition, still on the IT Crowd and a few other odds and ends. Reading that...

I mean, is it though? We're gonna find out within the next month or so. After the break, I discuss a few different things including us recently having watched the second Kingsman film . I am a little more "meh" on this one personally. The first one was completely over the top and ridiculous. This one makes that look totally plausible. Too much guys. Seriously. Started up The IT Crowd with my wife....

Wow! So, in supporting a black-owned business online, yours truly learned a little about how intolerant and uptight we are in the Midwest about race. Granted, I already knew this somewhat, but not to the extent I witnessed. After the break, I come in hard about some new vinyl I've acquired starting with the latest Greta Van Fleet album The Battle at Garden's Gate that I picked up as my first of th...

Yeah, seriously people. Aisles at stores are made for two carts side by side going in different directions. Not morons taking up the whole aisle. Not grocery pickers working at the store. Move!!! I've been watching the second season of Shudder's Creepshow series and I have to say, it's great. If you don't know much about Creepshow's origin, it's derived from comics that Stephen King and George Rom...

Enough with this hating of/rage towards those that are different in skin tone/sexuality/religion/anything at all than you. I'm telling ya. We're gonna have to make a lot of you go sit in the corner and think about your actions here real soon. I've been digging on the new White Album box set I scored this past weekend. Amazing stuff with lots of extras including the new mixes from the original mast...

I know, another special report. I think it's totally fitting in this situation though. In reality, nobody won on this deal. Chauvin, though a bad guy, has kids and a family and now he'll be away from them for the foreseeable future. That stinks. George Floyd's gone forever though. I'm just glad the right decision was made here. I'm into a lot of stuff really, now that I take a good look at it. On...
