Fresh Frozen Southerner

Send us Fan Mail For the past two weeks I have witnessed something rather remarkable.  Several artists have begun a boycott of Spotify in an effort to have Joe Rogan blacklisted.  No, I am not using the term blacklisted in an effort to be inflammatory, that is the correct term for what these people are attempting to do.  Even more surprising than that is the number of social media posts that have...

Send us Fan Mail Like most people, I have always wanted the future to hurry up and get here already.  I have spent a lifetime waiting for some amazing breakthrough to arrive and change how we live our lives.  While we have stared off into the near future, we have allowed some pretty amazing things to show up with little to no fan-fare.

Send us Fan Mail The update on Friday's traffic accident that allowed lab monkeys to escape into a Pennsylvania forrest goes from a quick retelling into a full blown topic.  Oddities abound with this story and the rabbit hole turned out to be much deeper than expected.

Send us Fan Mail An accident on the interstate.  Missing laboratory animals.  Wildlife officials on the scene, conducting a search.  It sounds like the opening act of a medical thriller, but it actually happened today in Pennsylvania.  Breaking local news to begin the episode. Then we look at the next chapter in Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals.  A chapter that actually, finally contains rul...

Send us Fan Mail Economists spend their whole lives trying to find out what makes us tick.  Once they find out the answer to that question, it is a simple matter to use that information to manipulate our behavior.  Pardon the pun, but they have it down to a science.  Today we take a look at how our perception of a product dictates our relationship with that product.

Send us Fan Mail His method of quitting the team will live in NFL folklore for the rest of history.  The implications for his overall mental health are a little more concerning.  Our society loves seeing public figures take a fall but I think there may be a little more going on in Antonio Brown's life than a simple career change.

Send us Fan Mail Did you go shopping this month? Go to a holiday festival? Eat at a restaurant? Leave the house for any reason?  Could you find a parking spot?  I have noticed something that has given me hope for the future of this country.  Proof that that not every person in America is huddle in their basement, waiting for our overlords to give us the all clear.  Proof that we, as a society, are...

Send us Fan Mail Merry Christmas, everyone.  It is the most wonderful time of the year for children. It is also the most wonderful time of the year for parents.  I take a brief look at life with and without children.  Then a short history lesson on the alcohol fueled origins of Yuletide caroling.

Send us Fan Mail Vegans can be some of the most aggressively arrogant members of our society, and given how entitled and narcissistic we have become, that is truly a bold statement.  The question is, can you actually avoid killing and consuming animals by adopting a strict plant only policy.  Join me and we can find out together.

Send us Fan Mail A quick discussion about Brian Williams departing  from NBC and his very odd and cryptic farewell address begins today's show.  Then, we take a look at two more examples of woke culture taking over the entertainment industry and the inevitable collapse of both the fan base and revenue.

Send us Fan Mail Today, we take a look at the sixth chapter of Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals.  Finally we get into some actual, instructional content.  Not a lot of instructional content, but there is a little bit of it mixed in with the personal philosophy that has made up the bulk of the book to this point.  A more cynical man might think he is rehashing topics just to pad the length of...

Send us Fan Mail Ex-governor Andrew Cuomo's scandal has claimed a second victim.  Now, his brother Chris has experienced a fall from grace.  I feel like Christmas at the Cuomo compound will be a tense and somber affair this year. I end the episode with a tale that pays homage to both the attack on Pearl Harbor and Winston Churchill.

Send us Fan Mail We start today's episode by taking a look at what turned out to be the most sedate, easy going and lucrative Black Fridays in recent memory.  I also present a selection of Christmas carols that I feel may be somewhat less than necessary. 

Send us Fan Mail The Pilgrims did not land at Plymouth Rock because it had a nice ocean view. They landed there because they needed to resupply on a vital resource.  To celebrate the best holiday of the year, I take a quick dive into the story you didn't learn in elementary school.

Send us Fan Mail There has been a new development in the investing community.  A brilliant new way to pick stocks and win in the stock market.  It sounds like a scam, but what better way to guarantee a healthy ROI than to follow along with the people who have the power to make or break public companies.  

Send us Fan Mail I had the opportunity to attend a dinner event on Wednesday evening.  Most of those in attendance were thrilled to be out and enjoying the return of social functions.  A number of individuals, however, were quite vocal about how nervous they were to be in a group setting.  All of the people in question were young, healthy and fully vaccinated.  I have been thinking about these peo...

Send us Fan Mail Today, we take a look at the fifth chapter of Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals, but first I go over the change of heart that Bill Maher has had concerning cancel culture.  I also question why he was fine with cancel culture when it was going after the right, but now that it is going after anyone and everyone he suddenly has to draw the line.

Send us Fan Mail I recount the harrowing tale of DIY vehicle repair, then spend a surprising amount of time lamenting the stupidity of the automotive industry.   If, on the off chance anyone reading this is an automotive engineer, I have a few issues that I would like to discuss with you. Then, an offhand comment by Joe Biden sends me down a climate change rabbit hole.

Send us Fan Mail After a somewhat surprising election in Virginia and a very surprising election in New Jersey, I unload a lifetime of aggravation and disillusionment at out elections, our politicians and Americans in general.

Send us Fan Mail New information has come out in the continuing saga of Wi Spa in Los Angeles.  It's information that is not being widely reported, but there have been some very interesting developments.  We also take a look at a very similar incident in a Virginia high school that made national news for all the wrong reasons.

Send us Fan Mail Today, we have to wrap up our celebration of Halloween for the year.  So, to send the holiday out in the way it deserves, I give you a list of 5 movies that will make for an entertaining night at home.  No perennial classics on this list, only obscure and little known gems that you most likely have not seen and probably haven't heard of.  Some of these movies should be watche...

Send us Fan Mail Today, we take a look back 167 years and pay homage to one of the most famous military blunders in the history of warfare.     

Send us Fan Mail Our celebration of Halloween continues!  Today, I share a few stories and experiences from my own life.  Nothing groundbreaking, but a few interesting and unexplainable moments that I have encountered through the years.

Send us Fan Mail Today brings us to the fourth chapter of Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals.  This chapter is mostly just filler to pad out the length of the book. I say mostly, because there are a few things hidden in the chapter that are very worth while to be aware of.  One of these things gives us an interesting insight into Mr. Alinsky's personality.  The other two items are concise...

Send us Fan Mail Today, we take a brief look at the life and loves of Aleister Crowley. It is a name I have heard thousands of times over the years, but never knew anything of the actual person.  This is, out of necessity, a shallow dive into his story.  I am in awe of the amount of living and travelling that he squeezed in his seventy two years on this planet.  A comprehensive discussion of his l...
