the OBJECTIVE JERK
by Jerk
I have objective views and I am a jerk. I am catholic and I am conservative, but this is not a faith based or political podcast. I am a "normal" person that likes to discuss many topics and although I view things through a catholic/conservative lens, my time in the Army has also left me with an asshole complex. I am not an expert nor am I perfect, but I am Objective and I am a Jerk, so join the Objective Jerk as my Catholic conscience battles with my veteran outlook.

ROCK CRAWLING RC AND OTHER RABBIT HOLES: Back To Unscripted
A laggy webcam and an old Mac kick off a surprisingly honest grab-bag chat that jumps from Jerk's problems to real-world consequences. I talk through what I’m changing in my workflow, why I’m recording on CapCut, and how a simple edit pass can make a podcast feel smoother without turning it into a glossy production. If you care about podcasting, video recording, or just keeping your setup running without buying a new machine, you’ll hear the practical stuff like RAM upgrades, storage, and why I’m still uneasy about putting everything in the cloud.Then we pivot into hobbies and the kind of community that actually feels doable. I’ve been looking at RC cars, especially RC rock crawling, and I break down why it looks fun: the upgrades, the mechanical tinkering, and the slower “race” format. There’s also a personal angle about crowds, pickle ball, and why I often choose hobbies I can do solo, while still wanting a small circle to interact with.From there, I scroll headlines and land on stories that range from political memes and media reactions to gut-punch tragedy. The Table Rock Lake duck boat story leads to a serious talk about safety basics like life jackets and decision-making under pressure. I also share thoughts on recreational marijuana legalization in New York, including the public impact, edibles, and why child safety and emergency room visits keep coming up in the debate.

MORE YOUTUBE; LESS PODCAST?
We share a candid creator update recorded on a phone, with the internet down, while we rethink whether the show stays an audio podcast or shifts into a video-first channel. We talk through the real costs, the editing learning curve, and why audience feedback matters when you are trying to find your niche. • shifting from podcasting to video production for more feedback • cutting Buzzsprout extras like magic mastering to save costs • why heavily edited videos feel better than raw audio • comparing OBS recording with iMovie editing slowdowns • moving to CapCut for smoother edits and faster workflow • the personal reason I started talking into a mic • balancing “just for me” with the hope it pays for itself • deciding whether to separate video content from podcast audio • asking listeners if they want more podcast uploads "So for those 10 of you that do listen, if you want to keep keep hearing these podcasts, let me know."

Jerk reacts to a video critique of the Obama presidency and test the gap between strong speeches and the policy outcomes people actually felt. I share my own experiences with healthcare changes, then move through domestic controversies and foreign policy decisions that I think reshaped trust in institutions. • Switching from video-first posting to a podcast-style format and asking for listener feedback • Reacting to MAGA Mark’s commentary and questioning whether the narration uses an AI voice • Obama’s image and media praise versus a results-based scorecard • Obamacare promises, premium changes, appointment delays, and crowded urgent care • Solyndra, green energy loans, and scepticism around climate policy impacts • Fast and Furious, IRS targeting claims, and concerns about unequal enforcement • Trayvon Martin commentary and the risk of polarizing narratives before due process • Libya intervention, Benghazi, and leadership under pressure • Syria red line credibility, ISIS misread, and long-run consequences • VA waitlist scandal, drone strike expansion, and civilian casualty debates • DACA by executive action and the Iran deal optics and precedent If you listen to these as a podcast, let me know how it's working because it's like I'm kind of I'm like video focused more so now Reach me through “FAN MAIL” you can leave a comment or a voicemail.

ODYSSEY WILL MAKE MONEY, BUT I'M BUMMED ITS GOING TO SUCK.
A trailer drops, the internet explodes, and suddenly a 3,000-year-old poem is at the center of a modern culture fight. Jerk hits play on a George the Giant Slayer video and react to the growing backlash around Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, especially the marketing hook “Defy The Gods” and what that tagline signals to long-time fans of Homer and Greek mythology. From there, he gets into the messy part: authenticity. We talk about why some viewers don’t just care about visuals, IMAX spectacle, or big-name casting, but about whether the heart of The Odyssey is still there. He also unpacks how Hollywood PR and celebrity soundbites can inflame the situation, especially when the people promoting the project seem disconnected from the source material and its cultural roots. We go deeper into the translation debate too, focusing on how word choices can quietly rewrite the story’s moral logic, shifting responsibility, changing how heroes are judged, and re framing themes like loyalty, sacrifice, hospitality, and respect for the divine. The Ship of Theseus thought experiment is used to ask a simple but uncomfortable question: if you swap out enough planks, is it still The Odyssey, or is it something else wearing the name? If you care about Christopher Nolan films, book-to-screen adaptations, classical literature, or the future of honest storytelling, this conversation is for you.

TAMPON TIM AND THE WORST KIND OF PARDONS
Minnesota used to feel like a steady, moderate place in the American imagination, then the headlines started stacking up: riots in Minneapolis, “defund the police” promises, corruption allegations, and public safety stories that leave people asking who is actually in charge. I take a blunt, unfiltered look at that arc through the lens of MAGAmark; a YOUTUBE channel dedicated to sharing the hypocritical corruption of the Democratic party. The focus is on Minnesota politics, with Governor Tim Walz at the centre of our criticism and frustration about crisis response, COVID-era enforcement, and policies we think send the wrong message about accountability.I also talk about how national figures shape Minnesota’s reputation, including Ilhan Omar and the way ideology can turn local governance into a constant culture war. From there, the conversation gets heavier, touching on political violence and what it means when disagreements stop being settled by debate and start feeling dangerous. It’s not just about personalities, it’s about the knock-on effects: trust in institutions, confidence in law enforcement, and whether regular residents believe the rules apply equally.A big chunk of the episode breaks down the Feeding Our Future scandal and why large public programs can become targets for fraud when oversight is weak. I connect that to a broader reality people understand, including how corruption can be normalised through patronage and “easy money” politics. Then I shift to two stories that hit a nerve: a messy vigilante-style confrontation involving an alleged attempt to meet a 13-year-old, and a clemency decision involving a convicted child sex offender, both raising the same question about consequences and public safety.If you’re following Minnesota news, public safety debates, or the broader US political climate, this one will push your buttons. Listen, share your take, and if you want more conversations like this, follow the show, leave a review, and send this episode to someone who’ll argue with you about it.out OBJECTIVE JERK PODCASTReach me through “FAN MAIL” you can leave a comment or a voicemail.

ROME’S COLLAPSE & THE CITIZEN VIGILANTE FILM: Politics Of Immigration
A banned movie, a messy immigration debate, and a history lesson that feels very relevant. Jerk goes at immigration from a blunt personal angle: living as an immigrant in the Philippines while believing the “right way” matters, from legal processes to actually contributing where you live. That sets up the bigger question we keep returning to: when does compassion turn into a system that gets exploited, and who pays the price when governments refuse to enforce their own rules?Jerk also gets into Citizen Vigilante, a new film associated with director Uwe Boll that’s stirring up outrage well beyond normal movie talk. He breaks down the premise, why people compare it to Death Wish and even Taken, and why it’s being attacked as political messaging rather than judged only as entertainment. Along the way, he talks about censorship, bans, audience scores versus critics, and how internet labels can shut down real conversations about crime, integration, and public safety.Then he pivots to an animated history clip on the fall of the Western Roman Empire and the argument that uncontrolled immigration, corruption, and failed integration helped trigger long-term collapse. We don’t treat Rome as a perfect copy of today, but we do treat it as a warning about borders, institutions, and what happens when leaders make promises they can’t enforce.If you’re tired of slogans and want a raw, opinionated breakdown of immigration policy, border security, asylum, integration, and the culture war around film, hit play. After listening, subscribe, share this with a mate, and leave a review, what’s one immigration rule you think should be non-negotiable?Reach me through “FAN MAIL” you can leave a comment or a voicemail.

FILIPINO SCHOOL SHOOTING: It Is Time To Be Proactive And Not Reactive.
A rare incident of a school shooting in Tacloban City Philippines is the kind of story people want to believe won't happen “here” until it does. I read through the initial reporting on the San Jose National High School attack, react to what’s been confirmed so far, and sit with the uncomfortable reality that rare incidents can still expose big gaps in school readiness, communication, and follow-through.I also talk about bullying as more than just a schoolyard issue. When reports point to constant bullying, it raises tough questions about warning signs, student support systems, and how schools can intervene early through clear reporting channels, counseling, and real consequences for harassment. From there, I get practical. Watching the panic in the circulating clips leads to a discussion on basic active shooter response: RUN, HIDE FIGHT; lock and barricade, stay out of view, stay quiet, and follow a plan. It’s not about importing fear or pretending the Philippines is the same as the US, it’s about being proactive and building simple routines that protect lives during the first critical minutes. We also widen the lens to mental health, violence prevention, and why “one simple fix” rarely solves complex harm.If you found this valuable, subscribe for more grounded takes on safety, local news, and real-world preparedness.

WHAT HAPPENS IN EUROPE, WILL HAPPEN IN THE U.S.: The UK Grooming Gang Report
I dig into the UK Grooming Gang Inquiry Report and read out sections that focus on victim testimony, whistleblower accounts, and the report’s central claim that this wasn’t just about individual criminals, it was also about institutional failure. I react to a clip from MP Rupert Lowe, then pull out the parts that hit hardest: how vulnerable girls were allegedly targeted, how organized networks operated, and why the report argues that politics, media incentives, and fear of accusations shaped how the problem was discussed or downplayed. If you’ve been searching for context on “UK grooming gangs”, “child sexual exploitation”, and “public inquiry findings”, this gives you a direct, plain-language walk through of what’s being said and why it’s controversial.I also connect the report to wider debates that keep popping up across the West: immigration policy, crime reporting, and the pressure people feel around free speech. We touch on a France case framed as punishment for speaking bluntly, then jump to the UK’s post-Dunblane firearms changes and why some people compare that path to US Second Amendment arguments. Finally, I play a short clip on unrest in Ireland and talk about how media labels can drown out the underlying issues.If this conversation challenges you, good.

HOW CAMERAS PROTECT CITIZENS WHEN POLITICIANS DON'T
A single clip of surveillance video can change everything: what the public believes, and how a city argues about safety. I talk through Seattle’s expanding use of cameras in high-crime areas and why a viral downtown assault on an elderly commuter became a flashpoint. The footage doesn’t just spark outrage, it also leads to a tip that helps identify a second suspect quickly, showing the real-world value of clear video evidence when time matters.From there, I unpack the bigger debate that keeps coming up with body cams and street cameras. A lot of us once feared the whole thing felt “Orwellian”, like we’re trading freedom for convenience. Others supported cameras as a way to expose corrupt policing. What’s uncomfortable, and important, is that video can do both at the same time: it can hold police accountable, clear officers when claims are false, and capture violent offenders doing exactly what witnesses describe. Evidence forces everyone to deal with facts, not just feelings.Privacy still isn’t a side issue, though. I get into concerns about data storage, security, who gets access, how misuse can happen, and why socialist politicians worry about federal immigration enforcement tapping into local systems. If you care about public safety, civil liberties, and how cities like Seattle are trying to balance both, listen through and share this with someone who disagrees with you.

ANTHONY FAUCI WHISTLE BLOWER: LAPD Shoot dog during welfare check
THE CONTROVERSY NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT : a whistleblower exposes Anthony Fauci, including a quoted line about the public not being “afraid enough”. Whether you see that as believable, exaggerated, or taken out of context, it opens a serious discussion about public health communication, fear-based messaging, ethics, and trust. JERK ALSO DISCUSSES A VIRAL INCIDENT FROM LOS ANGELES: a welfare check that ends with police shooting a dog, and the internet filling in the blanks instantly. I break down why these stories explode, how assumptions harden into certainty, and why waiting for context is harder than firing off a hot take.

WHY THE LA MAYORAL PRIMARY SPARKS VOTER FRAUD FEARS
Watching results shift days after election day messes with your head, even if you can’t prove a single thing went wrong. We start with a quick real-life catch-up, then jump straight into the LA mayoral primary drama around Spencer Pratt, Karen Bass, and why late-arriving mail-in ballots can make a clean process look sketchy to regular voters who just want a system they can trust.From there, I read and react to reporting about a DOJ probe request connected to a California voter fraud case, where a woman admitted paying homeless people on Skid Row to register to vote. We talk through what that allegation actually means, why it becomes instant “proof” for some people, and why social media rumours can still send you down a rabbit hole even when the biggest claims don’t hold up. The bigger point is public confidence: slow counting, messy rules, and real cases of misconduct create a perfect storm where nobody believes the officials who say “there’s no evidence.”I also get into the SAVE Act and the heated debate over requiring documentary proof of citizenship to register, plus what California law allows when it comes to homeless voter registration without a permanent address. We end on the uncomfortable truth about tribal politics: when winning becomes the only goal, integrity is the first thing to go.

KARMELO ANTHONY SENTENCE: Why Two School Stabbings Get Different Verdicts
I test a new audio setup while I give my take on the Carmelo Anthony sentencing and why 35 years does not automatically mean the same outcome as other cases. I compare a similar school stabbing story to show how charges, intent, and self-defence claims can lead to completely different verdicts, then I call out how social media rage twists the facts. • Audio and video quality tweaks as a reason for rapid posts • Why a 35-year sentence can still involve parole rules • Comparison with the Belton High School bathroom stabbing case • Murder vs manslaughter vs criminally negligent homicide explained through the verdict • How self-defence arguments hinge on who started it and what threats existed • Why headlines, thumbnails, and biased reporting distort public judgement • Reaction to a clip of a racist hate crime; when a stranger is punched over “jury selection” assumptions • Thoughts on remorse, courtroom optics, and how juries read defendants • Parenting, boundaries, and not letting social media raise kids • Quick detour into training standards and taking drills seriously Let me know what you think.

CHRIS NOLAN'S RETARDODYSSEY: What Happens When News And Hollywood Feel Fake
I start with the day-to-day reality of heat, humidity, and trying to organise a yard full of plants while learning which care advice actually works in the Philippines. Things escalate fast into a rat-in-the-house story, then I pivot into why I don’t trust loaded headlines and why Hollywood adaptations like Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey are starting to feel like ideology first. • Summertime weather in the Philippines and how rainy season shifts the routine • Organising a messy plant setup and learning sun and watering needs by observation • Using plant identification apps and running into region-based care problems • A killer cat bringing a huge rat indoors and dealing with the aftermath • Cat behavior, pest control benefits, and the headache of cats “sharing” their kills • Dealing with cat pregnancy, spay and neuter timing, and the revolving-door feeling • An NBC headline about Kyle Rittenhouse and why wording destroys trust • How small narrative tweaks turn into “history” over time • Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey concerns, casting backlash, and modern translations • Why I’ve stopped getting excited about theaters and most new Hollywood films Reach me through “FAN MAIL” you can leave a comment or a voicemail.

Nothing like a Boomer "ish" person dealing with the messy reality of recording and streaming when your gear, brain, and software aren’t cooperating.

PERMITS, EMPTY RESERVOIRS, AND INCOMPETENCE: Dip Shit Demoacrats Can't Do Shit.
Today I discuss/Bitch about the Palisades Fire and the claims around why it spread, why recovery feels stalled, and why so many people can’t get clear information without digging for firsthand videos. How this catastrophic event proves Democrats can't govern and why "More Government" does not work. We also talk about how basic wildfire prevention like water access and brush clearance gets tangled up in politics, permits, and media narratives. Why is China buying all the property?Choosing firsthand resident videos over local news coverageWind, ignition sources, and why timing still matters in winter wildfires Water reservoir readiness, maintenance delays, and hydrant supply concerns Brush clearance and defensible space as practical wildfire prevention frustration with cleanup pace, rebuilding barriers, and accountability Concerns about homelessness optics, civic priorities, and foreign governments owning American land.

TDS AND A FREE BEER THREAT: What Happens When Politics Becomes Your Whole Personality
I start with music, and the bands I grew up on, and the weirdly wholesome moment of a son recognizing an old-school Band. I pivot hard into Trump Derangement Syndrome, a Wisconsin brewery owner’s “free beer day” post, and why the First Amendment still doesn’t protect you from consequences. • Rock and grunge as identity then and background now • Filter and Army of Anyone as a gateway to a family moment • Why politics from entertainers can poison the art • Kirk Bangstad and the Minocqua Brewing controversy • Reading the “free beer day” post and what it implies • Why “Trump faked it” conspiracy is RETARDED • How Secret Service threat interviews typically work • Reacting to the Facebook Live rant and the doxxing choice • Consequences for speech and behavior online and offline • Media narratives education concerns and fear politics on both sides Let me know what you think, and God Bless!Reach me through “FAN MAIL” you can leave a comment or a voicemail.

ABOUT THIS SHOW
I have objective views and I am a jerk. I am catholic and I am conservative, but this is not a faith based or political podcast. I am a "normal" person that likes to discuss many topics and although I view things through a catholic/conservative lens, my time in the Army has also left me with an asshole complex. I am not an expert nor am I perfect, but I am Objective and I am a Jerk, so join the Objective Jerk as my Catholic conscience battles with my veteran outlook.
