Brutally Honest on ShockNet Rado - Week of 02/27/12 Show Notes

I learned early on that people sometimes are sick, and they will freely torment other people for no other reason that for their own sick personal pleasure. Unfortunately these people grow up, and they realize they can do all sorts of damage through a powerful proxy called government. They can get people to jump through all sorts of hoops.

Brutally Honest on ShockNet - 02/20/12 - Show Notes

Tonight's show is easy to describe... it's about that "ding-ding-ding" that you hear when you fill up your car, and the "ding-ding-ding" it does on your wallet... and how those "dings" are getting louder and more painful.

But that's not all I'll be talking about. After all, today is sort of a special day. Know what day it really is? Think it has to do with a mattress? Find out.

Plus I get to ask a certain former US senator a certain question to see if he knows the meaning behind a word he used over the weekend. What is it?

Post-Show Thoughts - 02/13

Okay, first of all, for those of you who tried to tune in to tonight's chat through the website, I have to apologize. I did not realize until after the show started that Loud City - one of the providers of our live stream - was down.

If you have iTunes, you could tune in, or if you used Winamp or Windows Media previously, the direct feed worked. Those that tuned in that way were able to hear the show, but those that didn't... well I'm sorry for that.

I'm debating about putting up the archives early so folks could get what they missed. Perhaps you guys could let me know if this is a good idea. Please leave the comments here.

So it's the day before a heavily commercialized "holiday"... do you think I'll talk about it? Sure! But what will I have to say about it? You may be surprised.

The bigger question is... WHAT ELSE will I bring up?

Brutally Honest on ShockNet - 02/06/12 - Show Notes

Ugh... being sick sucks!

So if it sounds like I'm a little under the weather during the show, understand that I've been under the weather for the past few days, which made working on tonight's show a little difficult. I hope you'll bear with me tonight.

Brutally Honest on ShockNet - 01/30/12 - Show Notes

Whew! Fun way to start a week FULL of all-new ShockNet Radio programs!

So... what do we do for an encore?

Well, we cover the State of the Union, we go over a recent Supreme Court decision that you really should pay attention to, we answer a certain question that the "Occupy" people asked, we go back in time to a different Brutally Honest Archive, and we deal with a certain excuse about something could be "the best" when it really isn't.

So tune in THIS MONDAY (01/30) right here on ShockNet Radio at 8pm Eastern (7pm Central and 5pm Pacific) over at www.shocknetradio.com and also at Apple's iTunes Radio Player under the "Classic Rock" category.

Post-Show Thoughts - 1/23

I'm not going to do this for every show, but I thought I'd give a few thoughts about tonight's show.

First, thank you to everyone that tuned in for the first show of 2012, and those that showed up in the chat room. It was great to see previous listeners and even better to see new listeners show up in the chat room.

There was a lot that went on in preparing for this new season. RJ managed to cobble together a brand-new theme song for the show, which I've incorporated into the opening, ending, and each of the commercial breaks of the show. A lot of thanks goes to RJ for doing that, because this is 100% all his creation. He even did the voice-over introduction this time around.

Some elements were still very new and need to be tweaked a little more. The intro to the new "Welcome to the Plunder" segment certainly needs to be tweaked up a bit. We're trying to also get more commercial spots, such public service messages, so we're not recycling the same ones over and over like we've been doing.

In terms of subject matter, I was pleased to see the positive response in the chat room over matters of the economy, especially when it came to the parasitic philosophy of plunder. Believe me, you'll be hearing that term more and more in 2012. Also, some pretty strong views about the GOP contenders.

Well, that was the first show of the year, and if you missed it, don't worry, we'll have the archive up next week. And be sure to check out the rest of the new ShockNet schedule this week as all of our shows will be back on the air at their new or returning times.

Special Holiday Rant

Hey guys, haven't had a chance to say too much because of all the work I've been doing with other projects (including this one), but I took some time to reflect on a particular issue that's been bugging me this past month.



Hope you enjoy it and hopefully I'll have at least one more before the new season of "Brutally Honest" debuts on ShockNet Radio in January.

Happy Holidays everyone!
