Morning Radio

Ever since my IPOD broke, I've been forced to listen to radio in the morning on the way to work.

That means that every day, when I'm already in a foul mood due to the fact that I'm not a morning person, I have to listen to the stupidest people on the planet talk endlessly about meaningless subjects.

It's a little bit like Thanksgiving.

What I find hysterical is that to be on the radio in the morning, you have to go to bed at a way more decent hour than the rest of us, yet most of what these people talk about is pop culture.

So, they're talking about shows that they don't actually watch and movies they've never seen.

The other day one of the shows had one of the stars from "The Hangover" on it. At which point, one of the DJ's remarked--

"I have to go see that."

Broseph, you're a commentator on pop culture, and you haven't seen one of the biggest movies of the summer?

He might as well have had Larry Hagman on to ask who shot JR.

Wouldn't it make more sense to adjust the times these people are on the air so they can lead normal lives and then talk about them?

Most people are surprised to learn that I was actually a huge Howard Stern fan before he switched to Sirius (no way am I paying to listen to an all Neil Diamond channel).

I liked that he actually knew what the hell he was talking about, even if he was mostly talking about fake breasts.

At least he was interesting to listen to. Most of these people make me want to drive my car off the road or into a telephone pole.

Here's an idea: Why don't they just play music?

Would anybody actually complain if these people didn't get to talk?

A List of People Who Can Go to Hell Now That I Can't Have Elizabeth Warren

So today was a rough day for everybody who isn't a @#$%-ing #$%hole. Let's just start there. If that upsets you, by all means, go straight to hell. This entire rant is going to be exactly what it sounds like. I am mad and I am going to exercise my right to BLOG ABOUT IT LIKE IT'S 1995, SO BUCKLE UP, BUTTERCUP. I really don't even know where to start, so let's just jump right in with the first person who comes to mind. Bloomberg, go to hell.  You really didn't have anything specific to do with today, but you can just go to hell for spending an ungodly amount of money on literally nothing.  I mean, you could have lit millions of dollars on fire and at least warmed the hands of the homeless, but instead, you made tv stations across the country that are already owned by Conservatives rich, so kudos to you and go to hell. Amy Klobuchar, I STUCK UP FOR YOU AMY.  I got into FIGHTS on SOCIAL MEDIA while DEFENDING your sorry, self-interested ass.  You know ...

Theater and the Outbreak

After last week's interview, a representative from a theater that recently experienced the results of opening too soon reached out to speak with me. I want to thank this person for coming forward in the hopes that it'll change some minds about what's safe and what isn't when it comes to the performing arts. Here's the interview: ME:  So this wasn't a full production or-- THEM:  No. It was us trying to do a little something for friends and donors. ME:  Who is 'us?' THEM:  The board of _____. ME:  And how long have you been on the board? THEM:  Three years. ME:  What was this going to be? THEM:  There's a, uh, beautiful park here in town, and we wanted to do an outdoor performance of a Shakespeare as a benefit, because, as you know, theaters are having a hard time right now paying the bills. We checked with the local government and the health department for the state to make sure we were doing everything the way we needed to in order to keep everyon...

My Favorite Podcasts

During this pandemic, I've finally gotten through most of my podcast backlog, and since a bunch of people were sharing their podcast lists last month, I thought I'd join in. I'm not going to give descriptions of each one, but I'll clarify why some are favorites of mine. 10 Things That Scare Me Adulting - Admittedly I don't really like live episodes of podcasts let alone podcasts that are mostly live, but this one is an exception. Against the Rules with Michael Lewis All Songs Considered Articles of Interest Asian Enough Broken Record The Butterfly Effect with Jon Ronson - No new episodes for awhile, but sooo interesting. Cautionary Tales - Absolutely incredible Code Switch Come Through with Rebecca Carroll - Some of the best interviews you'll hear from the past few months The Daily - I go back and forth on this one because the New York Times is so problematic, but very few podcasts does what this one does as well as it does it Dead Eyes - If you're an actor,...
