Party Pooper Podcast

I’ve been saying there are ten major areas where we have to get our shit together in order to get through the next two decades with any kind of success. I lied. It’s 11. The topics are Energy, Crime, Civility, Education, Maturity, Economics, Life Skills, Trades, Immigration and Water. Today, I am adding Food to the list but not for obvious reasons. I have already hit Education, Economics and Water...

If you give a hot damn about the future of this country you will aggressively share this ON YOUR EMAIL LIST and social media. Then when you got to the end, type “I’m in” in the comments. There is so much happening beneath the surface while these DC lunatics wreck what’s left of our economy that coming difficulties will turn into actual Mad Max shit in parts of the country. If you’re in any way ass...

Photos below Nick was kind enough to invite your questions about body building, power lifting and effective nutrition. Leave a question in the comments section or send questions to poriverproductions@gmail.com. I will make sure he gets the questions. For example, I forgot to ask why power lifters now put their hands in opposite directions while lifting. In my youth, before electricity, the standar...

I learned a new word today. I like to learn something new every day. So at least I don’t get all dressed up for nothin’. The new word is Torschlusspanik. It is fear that time for action is running out. I assume the word’s roots are Germanic. Everywhere I look fills me with torschlosspanik regarding the possibility of salvaging even a shadow of the American Experiment or even a civilized society. I...

Today, I sat down with James Cox, host of WHEN WORDS FAIL, MUSIC SPEAKS podcast. We talked about all kinds of music and why we listen to it. We talked about the uplifting nature of music. We also touched on various other topics. James is a super nice guy and I hope to have him back soon. Thanks for reading The Political Party Pooper Play Book (P4B)!

In the run up to the Big Game, I thought is would be a great time to bring in Ron Cori. He is my sports guru on FB. It was only in this discussion that I found out just how wired in he really is to Philly sports. His knowledge of trades and stats gives him an insight that rivals any talking head on sports radio. Ron and I go back almost 60 years. Whi… This is a free preview of a paid episode. To h...

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.streetpolitics.us Before we get to the main event today, I’d like to tip my hat to Tucker Carlson. He proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that January 6th was a mini riot that cooled immediately into a wondering tour of knuckleheads through parts of the Capitol Building. He also demonstrated that an important part of the narrative, wh...

This was supposed to be the morning his show dropped. Sadly, due to technical difficulties (likely a screw loose in front of my laptop) we were not able to get that interview in the can. No worries. We will get toge...

Update: When I talk about recreating pre-WWI Europe I am not just talking about Europe. I am speaking of the alignments and dynamics of the globe. And I said in this piece that all it would take to set off the powder keg is a small incident in a key area, where surrounding players see an opportunity in the chaos. There are some examples in other articles. BUT!!!!! In my interview with Patricia Deg...

In two weeks time, it will be our privilege to feature Robin Bartlett, former Captain, U.S. Army. He is the author of Vietnam Combat: Firefights and Writing History. He will relate his experiences with the Air Cav in Vietnam in 1968. He served during the worst year along the DMZ and Laos and brought forward the lessons he learned there so we might le… This is a free preview of a paid episode. To h...

First, the next three weeks are going to be huge. I have a piece on next week discussing the present world situation. The planet, today has all the characteristics of pre-WWI Europe. Next week we’ll start a 2 part series on that. There...

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.streetpolitics.us Correction! Last week I called the podcast Episode 7. It was actually 6. My alter ego podcast was coming up on 7 and is now in the can. So THIS WEEK is episode 7 for P4B. So I am officially 3 weeks away from hitting my goal of 10 for 10 on both sites. I am having a ball doing this, but I will be glad to settle into...

My apologies Ms Ronstadt! Geeeez! 27 Jan 23 I woke up this morning at about 0400. For some inexplicable reason, I had Blue Bayou stuck in my head. I tossed, I turned, I tried to think of another song so my mind wou...

Hello and welcome to the Political Party Pooper Playbook. I didn’t put calls to action at the end; subscribe, comment share. So here’s some buttons. A note to the listener. I really hate listening to myself on audio. I know everybody says that. But I really do have a voice for newprint. HOWEVER! I discovered in editing my last podcast that my stuff sounds 100% better when played at 1.25 speed. It’...

You can follow with the text below. A living, breathing self parody Whenever I come across an article by Robert Reich or listen to him speak it becomes ever clearer to me how America, and by extension the world, came to be in the sorry social state it is in today. We’ve had people like him, tens of thousands, pouring worthless mush into the skulls of our young adults for generations. And now Hilla...

Do stay to the end of the Podcast. I spent late summer and early fall admonishing the GOP to start talking specifics. I pushed for it in my 2016 book , and have been banging away at the idea of getting loud and touching noses for years at streetpolitics.us. Trying to get the GOP to show testicular fortitude is like pushing a wet noodle. It’s made more difficult by the constant election abuses of t...
