  17. 304

    #337 Believing, Deceiving, & The Never-Ending Pressure, By Enemies, To Employ & Engage in Both.

  18. 303

    #336 I’m Not Qualified To Give Life Advice To Anyone But That Doesn’t Stop Me

  19. 302

    #335 One Third Of Your Life Is Spent Dreaming. Why Don’t You Care???

    Wherein I explore the topic of dream journaling and why I can’t figure out why people don’t seem to give a shit about the miracle of dreams.I know I sound like a child.I don’t care.Dreams are worth acknowledging and remembering and if you think that is dumb, I think you are dumb.Mexican stand off.Your move, Consuela, No refunds.

  20. 301

    #334 Customer Service Is Designed To Punish & Humiliate You. Who Does Better, Indians Or Filipinos?

  21. 300

    #333 The Truth Doesn’t Exist If It Ain’t On The Internet.

    Wherein I give the origin story behind changing my name to ???, how it didn’t really work, and how it was born out of wearing too many hats in my old band, only to have the Internet erase my involvement in it. Jerks.Swim Herschel Swim, is the name of that band.I write that here for the internet crawling robots who insist that the internet is the only way to verify the truth.I probably already told most of these stories here.Nobody is holding a Ray Gun to your head.You aren’t obligated to listen to my petty correction of history for the sake of Elon Musk and his robots.To call this humiliating, would be an understatement.It’s good to be humble.I’m proud of my humility.That joke sucks.No refunds.

  22. 299

    #332 Funny Hats

    Wherein I sermonize about the sermonizers and why you might want to consider just how silly their hats are before you take them seriously.I argue that funny hats are really little more than liability waivers that make you responsible for taking any dumb advice literally.Funny hats should be for fun, not for authority.This is another one of those times when God is punching us in the face with “duh” and most don’t even notice.Very sermony, this one.Oh, and also talk about the church I started and how I chose a very practical hat, the funniness of which is debatable.No refunds.

  23. 298

  26. 295

    #328 I’m Transferring My Files From This Cloud To That Cloud & I’m Not So Sure I Know Why

  27. 294

    #327 It’s Hard To Admit You Miss People Who Hate Your Guts

    Wherein I review the culture of the last ten years, more specifically since the family wrecking psyop known as Covid, & ponder how much they were able to destroy, how hard it might be to repair, if that’s even possible, & just get real about the damage they did.Corny, but sincere.There is a song at the end I wrote with my half brother.He’s one of the ones who hates me.I miss him too.No refunds.

  28. 293

    #326 It’s Only A Matter Of Time Until You Get Sick Of My Shit

  30. 291

    #324 Please Stop Trying To Make Me Care About Israel & Iran

    Wherein I make a plea based on an entire lifetime of you assholes trying to make your problems, my problem.If I could snap my fingers and make those two ideologies, Judaism & Islam, disappear, I’d have done decades ago and the world would be full of wonderful white children playing in endless fields of wonder.I really need that finger snapping power.This recording and every moment I have ever devoted to these two insane concepts has been an utter waste of the miracle of existence.And yet here we’re are.Again.Lame.No refunds.

  31. 290

    #323 I’m Uncomfortable With Nudity, Mostly My Own, But Yours Too

    Wherein I describe the weirdness I experienced when I kinda accidentally became a photographer of naked people, strange rules I made in order to be “professional”, how everything changed this week when I used AI tools to help me fix some of the art that I hated, and how it dawned on me that these tools will for sure result in every half attractive woman, and even some who aren’t, ending up naked, gyrating, on someone’s phone or computer.It’s inevitable.The online sex work market is likely going to dry up.That’s probably a good thing, but the replacement might be worse.Or better.Either way, it’s going to happen at increasing levels.Get comfortable with it, or stay uncomfortable like me.Your choice.Fun coincidence that this recording ended up being 1h:11m long.No refunds.

  32. 289

    #321 Solitary Confinement- Aren’t We All On Death Row Anyway?

    Wherein I aimlessly ponder the concept of imprisonment, solitary confinement, solitude vs loneliness & why the heck large groups make me feel more isolated than being totally by myself.Why do most people hate being alone?Even the word “alone” seems to scare people, so much, they might change the words of a song to avoid it.Anyway, that’s a way for me to say that I’m posting a raw, one take, recording of a song at the end.I’m not a good singer, and my piano playing is sub par at best, but, you get what you pay for.No refunds.========Good As Gold2025 merkley/coomerunderground, so beautiful,lying there, good as gold.and I swear,on my word,I will dareto unfoldwhen you play your ukuleleon the promenadeI feel the symptoms of your soulUnderground underground don’t you try and tempt me when I’d rather be alone alonesafe & soundimmutablelying herestill as stoneTo returnand appearlight as a featherdark as coalWhen you play your ukuleleon the promenadeI feel the symptoms of your soulUnderground underground Don’t you try and tempt me When I’d rather be alone alone, alone, alone.

  33. 288

    #320 If Every Turd You Ever Flushed Came Flying Back In Your Face, You Could Call It Facebook

    Wherein I discuss the recent human phenomenon of everyone you ever flushed out of your life, for good or bad reasons, being able to, or being kinda forced into, spying on you & knowing things they would never ever have known about you without breaking numerous laws and making life really uncomfortable for everyone.And we act like it is normal.It isn’t.Well, not historically speaking.No way it can be healthy.Am I nuts?No refunds.

  34. 287

    #319 Some Mean But True Stories About Zach Galifianakis, David Cross & Gavin Rossdale: Total Douche

    Wherein I tell some stories that I should probably keep to myself, but, for whatever reason, I feel compelled to share, to give just a little context to the whole “eating babies” thing.If you like Gavin Rossdale you will hate this story.If you like Gwen Stefani, you are likely to think less of me for telling some “secrets” here.Look, my life is my story, and if you know me & I know you, you are part of my story & I assert my right to tell it as truthfully as I can.Let the chips fall where they may.No refunds.

  35. 286

    #317 Trans Killers/Victims & The State Licensed Monsters Who Make Them,

    Wherein I tell a story about how I came to be closely involved in the horror known as “Gender Affirming Care”It seems like many are still in denial about it all and are looking the other way.That’s not good.Eye on the ball.Yes, I wanted to say “balls”.This isn’t a funny episode.No refunds.

  36. 285

    #316 The Legend Of Epstein Shows No Signs Of Slowing & It is Driving Women & Weak Men Insane

    Wherein I tell some personal stories of alleged righteous indignation, passionate piety, & cringeworthy chastisement of people who didn’t deserve it & compare those feeling that drove me with what I am witnessing online in relation to the growing lore surrounding Jeffrey Epstein.Yes, I said LORE, aka FICTION, aka IMAGINARY TALES.Some of the stories are true.Most of them, you have been careful lead to invent in your own mind.I don’t know why I’m compelled to say the unpopular thing, but there it is.Sue me.No refunds.

  37. 284

    #315 Roger Goodell Is Terrified Of His Twin Daughters So He Hired Jay-Z To Hire Bad Bunny (Maybe)

    Wherein I explain what should be very obvious about the personal life details of Roger Goodell’s decision to let the anti-white, dreadlocked social justice warrior, Jay-Z, who happens to be married to Beyoncé, run the Super Bowl Halftime Show to the exclusion of all White People.This is my most perfect analysis so far.I’m patting myself on the back as I type this.Figuratively.I need both thumbs to type.No refunds.

  38. 283

    #314 Kid Rock Vs Bad Bunny Aka White Pride Vs Viva La Raza

    Wherein I explain exactly why Puerto Rico can NEVER be granted US Statehood.Not ever.Never.No way.Also, time for whitey to get super pridey.No refunds.

  39. 282

    #311 How Many More Degenerate Conservatives Do We Need To Prove That Conservatives Are “Cool”?

    Wherein I theorize how Rubin, Milo, Greenwald, Fuentes, Ali, Jesse, Shapiro, Levin, Loomer, Elijah, Smith, Owens, & the rest of the “right wing” degenerates gained such a foothold amongst self described conservatives.We allowed it, and promoted it.Well, at least I did.But why?What made me/us think that was a good idea?Well, I have some ideas that you might be able to predict.No refunds.

  40. 281

    #310 Tell The Truth So Hard It Sounds Like A Lie - Learn To Cherish Your Own Credibility

    Wherein I reflect on why maybe yesterday’s recording about Jeff Epstein & Steve Bannon didn’t sit well with some and compare the ballooning lore behind him to my childhood propensity to lie, exaggerate & invent stories about myself to seem more interesting.Now that I read what I just wrote it sounds like a really bad, sloppy analogy.Oh well, I doubt anyone ever listens to these recording based on these retarded synopsis anyway.No refunds.

  41. 280

    #309 The Steve Bannon, Jeffery Epstein Interview Was A Validating Eyeopener

    Wherein I argue that the dehumanization & cartoonification of human beings, friend or foe, does a disservice to humanity as it avoids solving underlying issues.Very few people are 100% good or evil and thinking such only robs the individual from being able to confidently navigate reality.I touch on a number of forbidden topics here which is guaranteed to upset many people.I don’t care.This is not a defense of Epstein, it is a defense of reality over imagination.No refunds.

  42. 279

    #308 My Apology To Josh, “The Scary Hippy Guy” On Behalf Of Every White Ska Band Ever

    Wherein I argue that the ska scene in Provo Utah in the early nineties, of which I was the nucleus, is perhaps the perfect example & manifestation of the programming that lead well meaning, good natured young white men, down a road of suicidal charity for people who hate them, and would ultimately put the future of said white people at risk of destruction & elimination.It’s no wonder why white women are freaking out.Shouts out to Catherine O’Hara & John CandyThis analogy works way better than I’d like.You might not get it.Not my problem.No refunds.

  43. 278

    #307 Jesse James Seems Like A Bad Person, But, I’m Pretty Sure I’m Worse

    Wherein I judge myself for judging Jesse James for being married 5 times, most recently to a porn star named Bonnie Rotten.He traded Sandra Bullock for that?Of course he did, and, unfortunately, I think I get it.Not proud of it, but I get it.You’re not gonna like how I drag Jesus into this.Fair warning.No refunds.

  44. 277

    #306 Shining The Spotlight On Degenerate Don Lemon

    Wherein I reluctantly talk about the phenomenal inversion of morality resulting in a public that has been trained to accept that Don Lemon has any moral authority whatsoever.It’s gets a little graphic.If you are squeamish about sodomy, as hopefully you are, you might want to skip this one.No refunds.

  45. 276

    #304 Merkley, Dude, What Happened To You?

    Wherein a female internet friend of 20 plus years, aggressively asks the above question & I attempt to answer it in detail.Long story short, lots of things happened to me.Lots of insane things that are almost impossible to believe.They happened to you too.Why are we reacting so differently?I have some thoughts about that too.No refunds.

  46. 275

    #303 I Am Definitely Controlled Opposition, But, So Are You, & So Is Marlon Brando

    Wherein I describe how and why you & I became controlled opposition & punctuate it with a story about Marlon Brando, in which I might be stretching the analogy to its limits.Basically, the real you is who you are and act while driving or dreaming.Yeah, I have opinions.Big deal.No refunds.

  47. 274

    #302 I Think I May Have Solved The Somalian Problem Without Committing A Single War Crime

    Wherein I describe the seemingly double standards applied to Squirrels vs Rats and attempt to describe why they aren’t double standards at all, and if you think they are, you are either a woman or a man who needs to suck it up and grow a pair.I give plenty of evidence for communists to convict me of whatever nonsense they dream up.I take too long to get to the point, as usual, because I don’t edit and zero dollars are being exchanged.No refunds.

  48. 273

    #301 Who Knew Joe Rogan Was Such A Needy Little Bitch???

    Wherein I rant about so called tough guys who are more concerned about being popular than saying & doing the obviously right thing.Also more ranting about women and weak men being programmed by female super hero movies to a degree that they insert themselves into situations that will surely get them killed.I warned you that I am an impatient person, and it shows here.No refunds.

  49. 272

    #300 No Amount Of Fame Is Healthy For A Child & That Probably Goes Double For Adults

    Wherein I make some proposals on how we might rid the world of the disease called “Fame” or at least mitigate some of it’s most harmful effects, using some new tools that some like to classify as AI.I also use the word Parasocial for the first time, as I just learned it from someone commenting on one of my recordings which is awkward considering how I claim that All Media Is Porn.I’m going out on multiple limbs here.I might come crashing down at any moment.Dramatic.Gay.No refunds.

  50. 271

    #299 Bill Maher Is Almost As Annoying As Me, But At Least I’m Not Holding Anyone Hostage

    Wherein I once again describe how someone I don’t like reminds me of me.It’s always about me, isn’t it?For Bill, it’s about Bill.He and & have a lot in common and I hate it.I’m better than him though, because, well, this is a problem that is pretty easy to figure out.Anyway, all I wanted was to hear what Woody Allen & Billy Joel had to say, but Bill didn’t let him get a word in edgewise.Sad state of affairs.Jews.No refunds.
