TSSR - s2 - ep22 - The Problem With Americans

SHOW NOTES: In Today's Episode of the Greatest Shit Show on Earth:

Social media is the most fabulous manipulator of the last several generations, if not of all time. We do nothing to protect ourselves from what algorithms gather about each of us individually, let alone what they collect from us as a nation in the interest of international personal interest.

As Americans, we have the mindset, "Who gives a shat what they know about me? I could care less what anyone eventually finds out about the most intimate aspects of who I am."

That's fair, but what if learning more about "you" was never the point? What if the entire point of social media algorithms was to gather national intelligence on social patterns of the whole western culture?

Be serious; how important do you think you are? Are you a sick and mentally ill narcissist?

We are so grossly blind to our self-importance we never considered there might be a larger conspiracy at play. 

Yes, it may be that every time we log into Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or TikTok, we might provide our enemy with deep AI data into the patterns that define us, our daily life mindset, and the fundamental mechanics of how we exist; but it blows right over our heads.   

That is the real threat social media has on us with its mining data. Not what it learns about you or me, but the intel it gathers from all of us. We never consider it has little to do with who we are individually but rather what we provide enemy nations as a culture.          

SHOW STRUCTURE:

Act I - Introductions and Pleasantries - 

Act II:  Intermittent Reinforcement

Act III - The Wrap Up

SHOW NOTES: In Today's Episode of the Greatest Shit Show on Earth:

Every week, shocking headlines continue to dominate the news, continually escalating to a new level we couldn't imagine the week before.

Stand-up comedians continue to be targeted and threatened. Americans should be appalled by the threat placed on comedians and their lives.

Does no one care about or cherish the life of an adult man just trying to make a living by telling funny hardy-hahas on stage to distract us from our poorly miss guided anger?

Are the Dave Chappelle's of the world to be tossed in a dumpster and discarded with no plan B?

Are we supposed to just accept that his life means nothing compared to the unborn fetus that is technically still only a sperm slug?  

While we are asking these deep philosophical questions, what is life anyway? Is it merely a simulation being played by an advanced being with Cthulu God-like powers? Is this supreme being only trying to distract himself from his own cosmic chaotic turmoil, hoping that all of his problems will be resolved and vanish from his turbulent higher existence and consciousness? 

In the grand scheme of things, maybe, as simple tiny piss-ant humanoids, we are no different from the Demon-Gods who play us as their own next-gen sim trying to level up to distract themselves from the harsh reality they aren't willing to accept. After all, isn't that how we cope with our day-to-day lives?

I guess we shall find out in this week's episode.

SHOW STRUCTURE:

Act I - Introductions and Pleasantries - 

Act II: - Master Control 

Act III - The pretend worlds we escape to where the pay is nothing and the cost of living is meaningless

In Today’s episode of the greatest shit show on earth:

After taking last week off from catching a nasty cold that knocked me on my ass which, I'm reasonably confident, it wasn't Covid either. It didn't feel the same as the previous two times I came down with it. Then earlier in the week, I received devastating news. My friend, who I've known, respected, and loved for more than 15 years, didn't win the battle after suffering a massive heart attack he had last week. It was all but imperative to finish the second part of my two-part series on dysfunctional relationships. 

Each episode addresses toxicity in relationships. I cover high-profile examples like Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, Johnny Depp, and Amber Hurts to the toxic, unstable relationship I find myself in. 

This extended episode of more than an hour and a half isn't the typical perspective you've heard covering Will Smith, who slapped comedian Chris Rock live at the Academy Awards. The same can be said about the defamation trial between Johnny Depp and the very unstable Amber Hurts.  

Instead, I dive deeper into the heart of many of the issues plaguing relationships across America and the world, like mental illness, unethical non-monogeny, kink, betrayal, and unhealthy power exchanges. I even lightly cover the art of reading body language, the Psychology of Behavior Analysis, Persuasion. and criminal Interrogation. 

If that weren't enough, I get personal with my own experience dealing with my oldest son's late teen diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). With all that to unpack in just one episode, it should be no surprise that the show went an extra 45 minutes long.   

There is only one way to make sense of the shit show we all find ourselves in: By tuning into the latest episode of The TSS Radio Hour.

In Today’s episode of the greatest shit show on earth:

Let’s imagine for a moment you never listen to Fox News but they already accounted for this. The owners, creators, and CEOs of Fox News Media already anticipated this scenario. There is even a name for it. The Hack Gap. What is it? How does it work? Are we all aware of the results? All this is explained in my newest episode.  

Act I: - The Fox News Thought Experiment
Act II - The Hack Gap
Act III - Episode Wrap Up

In Today’s episode of the greatest shit show on earth:

The question I ask in today’s show is this: What is the problem with Americans?

What makes everyone think America is the greatest country when it’s filled with people like you and me? I know the perception of the world might be that we live in the best country, but, do we? How can this be true when America is filled with Americans? It doesn’t seem possible so long as we are a part of the equation.

I keep posing this question throughout the entire episode. America has a problem and it might just be us. If we are the problem… Then tell me… What IS the problem with us? Could it be that we are standing in our way of making this country great again?

Find out in today's episode. 

Act I: - A Gameshow! Bob, tell them what they’ll win!!!

Act II - Baby Steps: First a left step, then a right step.

Act III - Star-Spangled Awesome

In Today’s episode of the greatest shit show on earth: I know its not Monday but because this episode is finally droping on Friday... Well that's how my shit show went this week. 

Do you remember the very first time you were exposed to the truth about your parents? Hold onto that thought. Shit shows are everywhere in life, all burning out of control, but how did we not spot them? These sorts of things just don't pop into existence from thin air. Every shit show begins its life as one tiny seed; its watered daily with poor decisions and then before we know it, the seed takes root. How in the hell is it then, we never catch it becoming a weed before it spreads across our backyard? Why is it I always feel like Wile E. Coyote unexpectedly slamming face first into a fake tunnel painted onto the side of a mountain? Maybe it looks all too familiar so, it goes un-noticed. What was I talking about earlier? Oh, yeah, I remember now.

Act I: - I'm not Chamomile and comfort
Act II - I'm the Papa of the house
Act III - Episode Wrap Up

In this episode of The Shit Show Radio Hour, Lonnie Bruhn returns to the topic of Vladimir Putin and his unjust nostalgic love affair with a past and ancient Russia that is impossible to ever get back again. Even if he were to succeed by conquering a peaceful nation looking to write its own history rather than living under the boot of a mad man. More than that though, this episode is about a world of copycat Autocratic mindsets looking to take back what’s slipping from their grips. An old world where they still hold all of the power even at the cost of freedom or maybe even at the cost of our own civilization. But yeah, it’s also funny.
