@Meerkat_Ultra It sucks if you can't cover Stardom but as long as you get to keep your channel bro. Plenty of TJPW, ChocoPro, AEW etc. out there to cover. It's crazy because Stardom used to be cool about it unlike NJPW. I am just happy about this news regardless. Keep putting out the classics.
It's been over a year since a new episode dropped and I miss Redbar so much 😔 So many crazy things have happened in the podcast world that I want to hear his takes on. It sucks not having my #1 source for comedic relief from life.

They always say: "They hate our freedom."
Not: they hate our air force.
Not: they hate our sanctions.
Not: they hate the government we installed after we removed their elected one.
Not: they hate the checkpoints and the night raids and the detention without trial and the photographs from Abu Ghraib that went around the world.
"Our freedom."
"They are envious of our freedom."
This explanation does extraordinary ideological work in one sentence.
It makes the hatred a compliment. You hate us because we have something you want and cannot have.
It makes the hated party, America, the victim of its own virtue.
It makes the people doing the hating the problem, because their hatred is not a rational response to events but a psychological deficiency. An inability to tolerate someone else's excellence.
It removes from the conversation, entirely and permanently, every specific decision made by specific people with specific consequences for specific human beings.
And it requires its audience to believe that the people of Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, Libya, Syria, Yemen and Somalia, who had friends and families and political ideas and memories and futures long before American military power entered their lives, were so overwhelmed by abstract envy of American constitutional arrangements that they forgot all of those things and simply began to hate.
It requires you to believe that.
It requires you to believe people are that simple.
The people who sell this explanation are counting on you being simpler than the people they're describing.
Our multibillionaire President’s Labor Day message is telling the American tax paying slaves they don’t work enough and need to work more to fund his historically high government spending, never ending Iran War, and import his foreign mystery meat, while he goes golfing at one of his many private golf courses with his best buddies in the Epstein class.
Meanwhile in the real world college graduates can’t find a job, in most families both parents work their tails off, many Americans work 2-3 jobs just to make ends meet, and the national price of gas is still above $4/gallon.
It’s not the American people who need to change their ways.
Actually, they voted for Trump to change the Swamp in order to Make America Great Again!
But instead, it turns out Trump was the very snake he warned about all along.
Never thought I would ever side with TYT, yet here we are....
“How are Americans not out in the streets, enraged about the fact that your government picks your pocket on behalf of Israel?”
I spend the majority of my time calling out whichever party is in power. I have to say after calling out Biden and Obama for 4 & 8 years respectively that Trump supporters are the most overly sensitive fragile people I have ever encountered. The facts over feelings crowd 😭💀
@JakeLang Remember FAFO? You love playing the victim. I have the world's smallest violin for you. You use Christianity as a front to spew hatred. Your supporters call you a Christian crusader but I would make the argument you actually hate Jesus. You are a disgrace 🤮 Spidey tagged you 💀
Remember, kids. To Catch a Predator wasn't cancelled because they caught someone who was transgender or a drag queen. It was cancelled because they caught an assistant district attorney who hit the escape button rather than face the consequences of his actions.
How come Hollywood keeps putting out the stories of the same handful of serial killers? Same thing with Mafia figures. Finally we get a Westies series and they went fiction 😑 WHY???? The Westies book and story is amazing.
@1Michelle17Q I do apologize if I came across like a dick originally. I wrongfully assumed you were being defensive over the show. That's on me. I haven't seen the show but the previews are cartoonish. It does have good ratings I must say.
@1Michelle17Q It's not necessarily that they're lying it's just that the book is based on first hand accounts by the people that lived it. Just about every nonfiction book that is written has people saying "it wasn't really like that" because everyone has their own perspective.
@1Michelle17Q That's a straight lie. "Most people" do not say this book is equally fiction 😑 Where are you even getting that from? Are you mistaking this for the book The Irishman is based on? If you start off by saying "IDK the truth" then why are you speaking ma'am?
I wish Hollywood would put out a movie or series based on the DeMeo crew. A docuseries would be great. I wonder if it's because the story would probably lack a moral compass? Sadly that's just the reality of the real world sometimes. This book rules.
