This is a podcast about this, that and the other. My takes on life, society, politics, and whatever else happens to cross my mind. There will be interviews about everything from movies to restaurants, dinner to drinks, games to sports.....this is starting to sound like a date, isn't it? If you want to be a guest or recommend one let me know. If there is something you want us to talk about just send a message. It's all fair game and it HAS to be said.

Tell me again how unfair it is. 14.09.2021

Do you even understand what makes something fair? If so you are in the minority these days. I'm going to rant about what it actually means for something to be fair. As well as some of the things I 'm tired of hearing people call unfair. Particularly when they are "unfair" because of how it is a result of the decisions they made.

I HAD to Hush. 07.09.2021

These gentlemen have an absolutely brilliant program and I was thrilled to get to talk with them. I completely rec...

Year One Anniversary Episode! 31.08.2021

The title pretty much says it all. Happy birthday I HAD to say it!!

A weak pull out game and aging out. 24.08.2021

More ranting about the faults in the government. Mismanagement of military actions, bungled pandemic management, and general incompetence don't you think it's about time to say enough is enough?  Featured podcast this week is the amazing Pineapple Pizza podcast. They have it all. Mythology, cryptids, urban legends. Served up every week hot and fresh for you. Available where ever you get your...

Overpopulation, the delta variant, and other thoughts 17.08.2021

This one is kind of a chain of thoughts, kind of touching on things I have mentioned before, with a few things that might frost some fannies, but what can you do? And as always if you don't agree with me let me hear it, trust me you aren't going to hurt my feeling. And yes that is singular. Sponsor https://partners.getearlybird.io/podcas

Eco-consciousness and the world as it stands 03.08.2021

So this is the only planet we have. And we are terrible stewards of it. We all know we need to do better by the planet and be more responsible about things, but are we actually doing the right thing? How much of it is thought out action and how much is just vocal posturing with out actually doing any real good? Lets talk about it. As always the socials are all out there  ihadtosayitpodcast.co...

Overbearing parents in youth sports 27.07.2021

With summer in full swing there is a return to normalcy that is bringing with it something I feel we can do without. You've all probably heard them at some point, the parent who is overly invested in their youth league athlete and WAY to competitive considering the stakes at hand. But what about the kid? In this episode I discuss the impact this kind of behavior has on children and give my opinion...

The state of the world and the difference between body positivity and fat advocacy. 20.07.2021

A quick summary of a few things I think we need to look at in the world, the United States, and in general. Then I talk about a rabbit hole I fell down that quickly went from something I thought I would be on board with to some of the most ridiculous whining entitlement I've come across in a while now. I am all for body positivity, mental and physical health. Then there are fat advocates. They are...

LIBERTAD LIBERTAD LIBERTAD 13.07.2021

There are riots in the streets of Cuba. The people have have no food, no water, no medicine, and no electricity. The only reason is that a few people there now have smart phones. You still think the communist ideals are the future?  Trailer for the upcoming new show Hot Takes & Tea Breaks

Stop encouraging a loser's mentality 06.07.2021

Once more for the people in the back 29.06.2021

In this episode we will rehash a couple of things that apparently need clarification for a few folks. It is a summary of how I feel about a few topics that apparently can be a little divisive since not every belief I have apparently works together, according to some people. Also I discuss how I feel about people who leave crap reviews for my fellow podcasters. Apparently I haven't said the right t...

Mental health issues are not trendy 22.06.2021

I keep seeing people claiming to be traumatized or claiming to have issues more for sympathy or to jump on a band wagon these days, and it's pissing me off. Mental health is something we need to be better about, not a cop out for your dumb ass behaviors. Also it's not about where you come from or when you were born.

Active positivity 18.05.2021

Basically, you can't change the world with out changing yourself. A little introspection, a brief story about an online dispute that made me question myself, and more general ire. Also, while I don't know if anyone even reads this stuff there will be no episode next week, due to a death in the family and the obligations that go with that. My apologies to those of you who might look forward to thes...

How Many times does this have to happen before we start the uncomfortable conversations? 20.04.2021

Another officer involved shooting. Another tragedy. Another "mass shooting."  This one hit close to home for me. I had family that was there. Was it someone snapping or a beef between individuals with no consideration for bystanders? They are not saying yet. Now is not the time to push agendas. Now is not the time to keep driving a divide deeper into this country. This is not a time to try an...

Clothes don't define the person 13.04.2021

In this episode I am going to go a little further into a matter that has brought me some flack from both sides. I know shocker right? The simple fact of the matter is the world is not black and white. Trying to cram things into boxes never really works and people need to start seeing things from a more open perspective. And honestly coming at me with your definition of an absolute is never going t...

Mass Shootings, social co-opting and just something light 30.03.2021
