There will be interviews about everything from movies to restaurants, dinner to drinks, games to sports.....this is starting to sound like a date, isn't it? If you want to be a guest or recommend one let me know. If there is something you want us to talk about just send a message. It's all fair game and it HAS to be said.

Episodes

  1. He wasn't talking about you.

    A bumpy start, a topic that is two weeks out of date, some creative obscenities. Everything you've come to expect from this show, particularly since I started the live streams. Anyway I tell you how to make Russian dressing, so at least there is that. ihadtosayitpodcast.com...

  2. No One is above the law

    This week there is some legal things to discuss. The announcement of a well deserved execution, and the well deserved raid of a corrupt congressperson. As always I have thoughts. ihadtosayitpodcast.com

  3. Orange Jeebus Wants your vote

    So the usual technical glitches, a late start, repeated drops from the stream, and no video. So it's almost like an old episode. In this one I talk about how I disagree with the promise of 5k if the Republicans win the midterms. From there it slips into a rant about public education…

    more
  4. Another week, another rant. And a recipe

    Ok, this week I had a few things to talk about. Mariachi music national anthems, leftists doing leftist stuff, and my thoughts on the matter, and the upcoming midterms. To be blunt, I'm not optimistic about things. "We're not the other guys" isn't going to be enough to keep the socialists out of...

  5. Once more into the breach.

    Well, after a week hiatus where I spent the entirety of the day off trying to fix my computer again, and more or less seem to have accomplished it, but every time I say that it crashes again. So we will maintain cautious optimism. ihadtosayitpodcast.com

  6. Naps are under rated

    So yeah, this week I got to the stream late. I took a nap. Naps are an under rated experience, that are wasted on the young. Other cultures have established nap times, we need to get back to that here. I didn't talk about that in the show or anything, just my thoughts as I sit here uploading the...

  7. You've gotta be friggin kidding me.

    Well, more news about the Lindsay Clancy trial. Apparently the jurors are morons too. At least some of them. So I have thoughts on the matter. I also discuss some 2A stuff, my pathetic excuse of a governor, some friends of the show, and a bit of rambling. The show started out with some technical...

  8. A star chart? Really?

    Ok so this is kind of a short one. The morons are out in full force supporting Lindsay Clancy, the absolute piece of trash that sent her husband out to run some errands and then strangled their three kids to death with exercise bands. The wine drunk internet true crime experts are all weighing in...

  9. Shouting out the homies

    So it's been kind of a slow week, news wise anyway. But that never stopped me from having something to go off about before, and I'm not about to start now. There are some issues that I bring up that I have with a few things, then I forgot to breathe for like fifteen minutes. But lets be honest,...

  10. We're back......sorta

    Well, I got the rig up and running. So far so good. However I still need to get the editing stuff dialed in so for this week you're getting another raw videa episode. In this episode I talk about the usual suspects. How stupid I think DSA supporters are, and how the leftist dinosaurs are…

    more
  11. Chaos at the Drive Thru

    Well, there was another week and as always I have stuff to get off my chest. We had another weak minded, failed excues of a man decide that lashing out at people unable to defend themselves was the best way to be self expressive. It is another tragedy, people are hurt. People are dead. However it...

  12. Fauci's little notebook, TPS is up, and commie groceries

    So, still dealing with the computer issues. Every time I think I have it fixed I'm wrong. So we have another raw episode, but we'll get through it. There is about a two minute dead spot where I had to mute to check what the boss was hollering about. For anyone who is curious, the dog was being a...

  13. Another week, another show

    Welp, the technical problems persist. Seriously someone buy me a mac, everyone says they are bulletproof for this nonsense. In this episode I revisit the flock camera thing with some feedback from friend of the show Iceman of the Motorcop Chronicles Podcast. Also I briefly discuss the current...

  14. More of the same old problems

    Ok so yet again, I am having technical issues. So no editing, just gonna slap the raw recording up, which means there is video if you want it this week. If you want to send me a new PC go to ihadtosayitpodcast.com and shoot me a line. But seriously there is a show. I don't think it's one of my…

    more
  15. Flock Cameras, Firearms, and the Kentucky Tortise

    OK, so this episode was gonna be short, till it wasn't. I came in late, with one thing at the top of my mind. It quickly goes off the rails and we talk about the current state of Mitch McConnell, the growth of big brother in America, Grahm Platner, firearms, and some other things when I start...

  16. The Supreme Court Rulings

    So the Supreme Court has handed down some rulings. Not the ones I was waiting for, and not all ones I agree with, but as always I have thoughts. Also there is a recipe this week. It is for Creamy Chicken Rice soup. Go do the things, come join us on the discord server Ihadtosayitpodcast.com

  17. The People are getting fed up.

    You can only push people so far. Trying to brand them the bad guy when they finally push back is never going to work. It's a short episode, I'm not back to 100% yet. I got nothing left in the tank these days. I need a vacation Ihadtosayitpodcast.com

  18. The technical difficulties will continue until morale improves

    Once again Aaron is having technical difficulties, so the workstation is down, but I tried dangnabit. This episode is uploaded as a video because I am still trying to put my desktop back in order and I had to choose between doing that and downloading the software to edit and rip the audio onto…

    more
  19. There is going to be blowback

    It's been a heck of a week, and it's only Tuesday. There has been a lot of goings on. The weak minded are trying to blame everything on race. People are fed up. Anthony verdict, migrant attack in Belfast, and a finding of incompetence. There is going to be blowback. As always, I have thoughts....

  20. Yeah, yeah, I know it's late

    So last week I forgot to hit record on the live stream, so I couldn't edit the audio until I could pull it off of YT, so I had to wait to publish. Then the outside world felt the need to make it's presence felt, and it got pushed out of my thoughts. But I remembered eventually, and that's what...

  21. A Day to remember, Bourbon & Regret, and an update

    Welp another week goes by, and I am still running half awake, half fried, and all me. This episode starts out talking about Memorial Day, and some of my thoughts about the matter. Then I talk about a new bourbon I have picked up and some backstory as to why this particular purchase is kind of a...

  22. Put em all on a raft

    More of the usual. The government is full of crooks, a bunch of morons defend their sides, and we all pay the price. I, however, have an idea about how to deal with them. I get to it eventually. You want to know the plan? Go listen. Do all the things ihadtosayitpodcast.com Recipe this week :...

  23. I'm NOT saying this is what they are doing.

    So there was a little incident with a cruise ship this week and an outbreak of the hantavirus. It's far more lethal than COVID ever was, but less transmittable. They are saying it has begun human to human transmission. The whole thing stinks on ice, in my opinion. As always I have thoughts. I…

    more
  24. I'm Tired Boss

    Another week, more stupidity to complain about. The Met Gala had an actual felony happen at it, nothing will come of it. The guys were all rocking skirts. And I go off on a bit of a megalomaniacal tear. The recipe this week is Asian salad with Mandarins in Chili Vinaigrette.

  25. They're REALLY Bad at This

    Week two of the new time slot. Some things happened. Another attempt on the president and his staff. Comey is being charged again. Kash arrested a green beret for betting on America, but not a single person from congress. Also they FINALLY arrested fraudsters in Minnesota, and tampon Timmy tried…

    more
  26. And We're Back.....Again

    So after a week off I am back at it. As always, we have some technical issues, and a helping of disorganized chaos. Everything you have come to expect from one of these episodes. I have plenty to say, and after a slow start I find my groove. Go buy Rob's audiobook here :...

  27. Bye Bye Blondi

    Welp, it's been another week. Downed pilots, we slingshot the moon, morons gonna moron, and Pam Bondi got canned. As always I have thoughts. Go to the website and sign up for the discord. Look at my amazon wishlist and laugh at the dumb stuff I find on there. ihadtosayitpodcast.com

  28. No Kings Take Two

    Another successful protest from the No Kings people. We still don't have a king. Good job. Totally not a bunch of meaningless, performative nonsense. Recipe - Dutch Baby Do the things. Go check out the Amazon wishlist and laugh at stuff I think is funny on it. Ihadtosayitpodcast.com

  29. A quick thought

    For whatever reason I didn't have much in the tank this week. Maybe a better episode will drop later, depending on how I'm feeling. Go click the links, do the things, support the show. Recipe - Loaded Baked Potato Salad. ihadtosayitpodcast.com

  30. And we're back at it

    To address the missing episode last week, we had a death in the family literally less than an hour before the livestream was supposed to happen. The last week was primarily focused on dealing with that, but we're back at it now. There is a scavenger hunt that I announced with a awesome prize for...

  31. Iran so far away

    So a guy who has been shouting "Death to America" for pretty much my entire life actually wound up on the receiving end of "Death FROM America." Personally, I don't like the idea of my country being the world police, but frankly when you want to see me and everyone I ever cared about dead, I have…

    more
  32. Cartels, CTU, and Canadians. OH MY!

    Hey everyone, another week where I only halfway paid attention to the grander world, because the immediate world needs more of my attention. There were some goings on out there, and as always, I have some thoughts. A cartel kingpin got taken out by special forces, and they aren't happy about it....

  33. A New Chapter

    So I have an announcement. And then the ranting begins. I feel like the mishandling of the files by the DOJ can't be excused, at this point and as always I have thoughts. Recipe Moroccan Lamb Kabob The Weather'd Report Episode:...

  34. Social Media Fatigue

    This week I am feeling some kind of way. I'm tired. The constant distraction from real issues, the people treating each other badly, and being SO smug about it. As always I have thoughts. Recipe - Arrabiata sauce www.ihadtosayitpodcast.com

  35. Groundhog Day 2026

    This one was kind of all over the place. Something kind of cool happened for me personally and you should all go check out https://thebuffalowoolco.com/ for some truly great American made products made with genuine bison wool. Beyond that I have an announcement, and as always thoughts on the…

    more
  36. Tex Tactical

    For this guest episode I sat down with Walker, the owner/operator of Tex Tactical. It is a small independent business based out of Texas that makes custom rifle accessories. Walker and I discussed 3d printing and 2nd amendment stuff. It was a little more brief that most of my guest spots, but not...

  37. Well, I called it.

    So the left is still interfering with ICE operations in Minneapolis. They are escalating, exactly as expected. The rhetoric from the top hasn't dialed back a bit, and exactly as I said would happen a "protestor" with a gun got himself removed from the census. And EXACTLY as I said all of a sudden...

  38. An Interview with Tom Knighton

    Tom Knighton is a professional writer for bearingarms.com as well as being published in multiple places for various other news and opinion articles. Tom is a vet, a staunch 2A supporter, and frankly a generally good guy. He has a substack (tilting at windmills) as well as a youtube channel (The...

  39. More Minnesota Problems and the Ripple Effect

    The drama in Minnesota is escalating. The leftists are arming themselves. And while I support everyone being armed, there is a right way and a wrong way to go about exercising your 2A rights. Just like there is a right way and a wrong way to protest. Also Don Lemon and a bunch of leftist clowns...

  40. ICE in Minnesota

    Well there is plenty going on in the world, I MIGHT do a second episode this week, we'll see how the week shakes out. But in this episode I primarily discuss the lady that got shot interfering with ICE in Minneapolis last week. I have thoughts about what lead to this, and explain how I got there…

  41. 2026- New Year, Same Me

    Well, 2026 is off to a start. There are already things to talk about and as always I have thoughts. There are more developments in the mounting Somali fraud in Minnesota, NYC swore it's commie in, and we snatched up the dictator running Venezuela. All in all the year is off to an interesting…

    more
  42. The FINAL episode of 2025

    For the last episode of 2025 I decided to do something a little different. I had a round table chat with some prior guests of the show. I was joined by Cody, John Jamingo, and JD the Bot Guy to shoot the bull and talk about the past year. But mostly just shot the bull. As usual there were some...

  43. Merry Christmas

    OK so this episode is plagued with terrible technical issues, a host with seasonal inability to focus and a some chaos, but the recipe was good so I posted it. For the record, the part with me being mad at my wife for posting a picture was supposed to be a bit since I am a Christmas grouch, but…

    more
  44. Aaron & JD the Bot Guy

    In the first video interview I put out I sat down and had my second attempt at talking with the creator and operator of ForcedValor.com and Forced Valor Radio on youtube. We had a previous session that will forever be known as the lost episode, after my hard drive died immediately after I…

    more
  45. Shootings and Selfimportance

    A couple of mass shootings happened again, the left is using it to try and push more gun control. Problem is both happened in locations that already have strict gun control regulations in place. But never let a good crisis go to waste. Also Rob Reiner and his wife were murdered, and Trump…

    more
  46. Somali Fraud & Consequences

    So it's been another week. I'm a little under the weather so I'm not as lively as usual, but there is still stuff going on in the world, and I am still going to talk about it. Also some changes on the horizon for this program and me as a creator, so listen up and be part of the process. Also go…

    more
  47. Timmy The R-Slur

    It's been a week. This episode contains gamer words, so if you are easily offended, don't bother. That being said, it's been an eventful week, Trump is being Trump, the swamp is swamping, more fraud, waste, abuse, and seditious behaviors, and as always I have thoughts. Recipe of the week: Crock…

    more
  48. Lisa Ekman - Deprogramming Democrats

    I sat down with Lisa Ekman, former Democrat swamp creature and author to have a little chat. It was a great conversation and I'm looking forward to talking to her again in the future. "Lisa Ekman spent twenty years as a democratic swamp creature working and living in Washington D.C. During that...

  49. The Price of Sedition

    Another week, more political drama. The left is on one flavor of nonsense, the right another. MTG is retiring, MAGA has forgotten that not everyone that voted for Trump is part of their ranks, the Dems are still trying to paint themselves as the real patriots, despite spending so much time…

    more
  50. The Mean Tweets are back

    I've been happy with some of what is going on in this administration, and not so happy with some of it. This episode was mostly inspired by a truth post I saw this morning at the gym, it sent me off on a tangent. It might make the MAGA crowd a little angry with me, but what can I say. No one is...
