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.

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.

FROM GARAGEBAND GLITCHES TO TWITCH STREAM MISHAPS: Gen X Boomer trying to make it work.
Nothing like a Boomer "ish" person dealing with the messy reality of recording and streaming when your gear, brain, and software aren’t cooperating. From TV nostalgia and gaming burnout to headlines that feel like fear bait, then end by asking how to build a simple streaming setup without losing your privacy. • Dealing with heat, fan noise, and DIY recording fixes • Watching Rescue Me for the firehouse banter, then questioning the lack of likeable characters • Losing hours trying to fix a GarageBand "problem" when there was never a problem to begin with.• Noticing lower gaming stamina with age and trying Red Dead Redemption anyway • Setting up Xbox streaming to Twitch, troubleshooting mic issues, weighing OBS and capture card needs • Reacting to UFO news through faith, scepticism, and “distraction” concerns • ppushing back on hantavirus panic and the media incentive to fear-monger • Venting about Hollywood politics, money problems, and audience backlash • Wanting real viewer interaction while worrying about privacy and getting clipped. You could email me, because I know it’s kind of a bitch to put a lot of information on the comment section. [email protected] me through “FAN MAIL” you can leave a comment or a voicemail.

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.

BOOM MIC PROBLEMS AND REAL TALK: Living In The Philippines With Ants Cats And No AC
I upgrade my boom mic setup without turning my computer room into a studio, and I end up fighting camera angles, fan noise, and my own perfectionism.
