Ignore the Rant

After a significant passage of time, we decided to come back and talk about it. In this episode, we discuss the hubbub surrounding the Olympic opening ceremony, the failed assassination attempt & Biden dropping out of the race. Enjoy!

Um…hey guys. We went out for smokes and the World stayed weird. So we came back to ramble about things we know little about.   If you’d like to hear a heavy spin on a country hit, check out Doug’s band (Stumble Witch) cover Rich Men North of Richmond, here: https://youtu.be/IOXkqL7Kz78?si=hCTJeVTCLFl-ih2d ENJOY!

We’re all looking for answers to the wrong questions. Jim & Doug look at the recent uptick in what appears to be an artificially boosted issue sashaying across the country.   Obligatory trigger warning: if you disagree with us, it’s satire. If you agree with us, it’s a coincidence.

Jim takes his L on the Murdaugh verdict and is swayed by the State’s closing rebuttal. OJ weighs in with his expert opinion. The prosecution pulls all of their muscles, patting themselves on the back. Maybe AI can do a better job? We ask Chat GPT a series of questions to see if it’s ready to rule us. The results are…010110001101.

Out of respect for Black History Month, we here at Ignore the Rant decided to take a knee and let black voices be heard. So now that’s over, we’re here to contribute to our inevitable future cancelling. We cover most of the stories we missed and dip into some recent headlines. Mainly, the Murdaugh trial, the Ukraine/Russia decade old war turns 1 year old and Dilbert doesn’t bet on black.

The next riot season may have had a false start in Atlanta this past weekend. What happened, who’s involved and what is it over? We cover this in the only way we know how, by name calling on a fifth grade level. But with sound clips of more professional people bringing the info. Hockey is not gay enough in Philadelphia. George Santos has some splainin’ to do. ENJOY!   AJ+ mini doc on “Cop City”:   https://youtu.be/fPMW47tCA1g

Jim & Doug come stumbling into the year with an episode that sounds exactly like something we recorded a year ago. We talk Dawgs being National Champs (again), “smart” people saying stupid things about Covid (again), hypocritical politicians (again), and why you shouldn’t have hope that they will make things better (again).   In short… new year, old us. ENJOY! (again)

After weeks of illness, studio setbacks, and other excuses, we finally come together to close out 2022. We talk FTX, Elon & Twitter, and Kanye‘s crusade. We pay tribute to Herschel Walker’s Senate run and finally, we close it out with a very necessary and totally not gay debate on whether Die Hard is a Christmas movie or not.  And because “Christmas” is said once in the episode, this is now a Christmas podcast. As mentioned at the end of the show, for anyone who would like to donate to our buddy Doug, the link is below. He has recently fell on hard times financially, and any donations would be greatly appreciated.

In a world where everyone has a hot take and a microphone, this is something like that. But worse. Much much worse. Enjoy!

Your favorite podcast for yesterday’s news, today. Elections, possible nuclear war & an Atlanta rapper makes it rain in this episode that can only be described in two words…Made in America. Enjoy!   Clock Management Podcast: https://youtu.be/V8mEtdNeKoI

Football talk in the first 30 mins. Brett Favre is reverse Robin Hooding the state of Mississippi. Patagonia saves the planet, by avoiding taxes. We take a look at climate change and the allegations surrounding it. Electric cars and smart homes will save the world, but you’ll have to stay home. A little bit of Trump talk, to meet our quota. Dems paying people $400 to be their propagandists. And finally, a chipper Patchy Dense Fog tune. Enjoy!

The world has gotten dumber and we’re no different. This is now officially a boomer podcast. Now how do I get the speech to text to stop shit it’s still going hey Doug can you Google how to make this thing stop oh there it is       Credit for Trump - Break Stuff edit to Lars von Retriever on YouTube: https://youtu.be/O6xOB8cELbg  

Biden had Covid a while ago. Trump said things about it. THE doctors are now saying vaccines don’t work, so that’s cool.   Florida Man kills neighbor’s rooster. https://youtu.be/yVg2giNd0rI   Music Midtown cancelled due to GA’s constitutional carry laws? https://youtu.be/8tczD1JbVYw   NASA’s no fun policy. https://nypost.com/2022/07/22/astronauts-should-not-masturbate-in-zero-gravity-nasa-scientist-says/   Monkeypox is gay.   ¡Ellos tomaron nuestros trabajos! https://archive.ph/2022.07.27-111333/https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2022-07-27/americans-are-flooding-mexico-city-some-mexicans-want-them-to-go-home     Alex jones pays +$45 million in “damages” and the guys are split on its justification.   Annnd the FBI is keeping us safe from Trump, finally.   This podcast is classified and if you listen to it, you may be raided by the FBI.       Arrona on Noah’s long-titled YouTube show. https://youtu.be/60NPJkxv7gM

Trump Truths about Elon. Former Japanese Prez assassinated. A bunch of world “leaders” are resigning. Bolton talks of Coup. Georgia Guidestones wont hurt you any longer. UC Berkeley prof VS Josh Hawley. It’s still not raining in the desert. A newscaster over-serves the news. BLM heckles a victim in Minnesota.   Drunken Newscast https://youtu.be/puHVPKWshXk   Please rate & review, tell a friend and SMASH that meh button.

Our podcast turns 2 and we celebrate it by being our most ignorant to date. Apologies to the new listeners, it was a fun ride. We solve active shooters by throwing peaceful parenting practices the way of abortions in the south (according to some). We give the parade shooter a look ahead to what may be waiting for him. People are still talking about abortion so we are too, kinda.

The supply of hot takes exceeds demand but that won’t stop us from jumping in. An untimely death connected with 1/6 gets glossed over while Ghislaine gets 20yrs for trafficking children to….no one? Uvalde PD continues to stockpile L’s. The reaction to the Supreme Court’s rulings prove why they’re correct. We close out pride month with a clip from an unreleased episode that surpasses even our own bigotry standards.   Jim’s recent appearances: Rebel w a Cause “Ignoring Rants w/ Magoo” https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rebel-with-a-cause/id1262921973?i=1000567606201 Outlawed Thoughts ep.19 https://youtu.be/4KlSKOwAc2Q   Upcoming appearances: Jim Breuer’s Somebody Had to Say It (Patreon Podcast) https://www.patreon.com/jimbreuercomedyspecial   Follow the show: IG: @ignoretherant Twitter: @ignoretherant

With the US nosediving into a recession, people are looking to “economists” for answers. Most are full of crap, including us. So we look to an unlikely source, then go off topic for an hour. We also discuss “What is a Woman?”, playing god with science, sentient robots, HR demons. An unlikely lesson in how to be a dirtbag and Arrona reads a restaurant review with a heaping side of racism. ENJOY!   Follow the show on IG: @ignoretherant Ignore the Rant on Twitter: @ignoretherant

This one goes off the rails before it ever started and never finds its way to anything remotely close to a listenable show. There’s chimpanzee sounds, cringe inducing wordplay, old guys arguing and a washed up band no one cares about anymore. It’s safe to say we’re mailing it in.

We get all high and mighty by blaming the world’s problems on the internet, while podcasting on the internet. We’re midwits, at best. In this Arrona-less episode, Jim & Doug shoot the shit about this past week. We review the new Dinesh D’Souza doc, 2000 Mules & talk a little about 3rd party politics and the Libertarian party’s upcoming transition.   Follow the show on IG: @ignoretherant Jim’s Twitter: @magoo_itr Ignore the Rant’s Twitter: @ignoretherant

We’re probably going to hell for how we start this episode, but we try to make up for it with our lukewarm takes the rest of the way. Jim found out he’s too old for hippies. Reeeelon Musk gives birth to the Ministry of Truth. Our society collapse is right on schedule. And Arrona makes a disturbing proclamation.   Follow the show on IG: @ignoretherant Jim’s Twitter: @magoo_itr Ignore the Rant’s Twitter: @ignoretherant

After Arrona takes us down a dark road from his time in Augusta, we stray off topic and talk mass shootings, why they are happening more frequently and the conspiracy theories that inevitably follow. The downsides of building a large following and why we do not actively want one. We don’t make sense…but you already knew that.

Arrona is back and we introduce a new segment. An Ohio Senate candidate rips a campaign ad that’s not likely airing in Spanish. Trade schools and the middle class. Mark Robinson, North Carolina’s Lt. Governor dishes it out. Enjoy!

Many people are asking, so we'll give it to you now, it is 100% true. Jim & Doug got an episode done, on time. Arrona, still recovering from his dolphin tour, sits this one out. Anyway, there's a lot of chatter about it, quite exciting, and people everywhere seem to be asking for the facts. Kamala tosses another word salad, Trump is good at golf and Stone wrestling a pig was better than anything at Wrestlemania. Enjoy!

Will lost his mind, amusement rides lost the illusion of danger and the Foo Fighters lost their drummer. Also, war isn’t gay enough.

Spring is here & baseball is back. We check in with Braves Hall of Famer Chipper Jones to see what went wrong in the Freddie Freeman deal that ended with him being a Dodger. Russia Ukraine is still ongoing and you still don’t have to choose a side. Time change is coming to an end but that won’t stop our overlords from trying to screw it up.   While we were editing, news was breaking about the Matt Ryan trade to Indy so Jim & Doug touch on it at the end. ENJOY!

Our friend Karen joins us again to discuss the latest happenings in the drawn out saga in our local school system.

From Ukrainian Bio Labs to UFC Rappers, we dance around recent stories with half of the bias of a Duck Duck Go search result. ENJOY!

Arrona learns witchcraft in Savannah but he won’t be sacrificing pigs anytime soon. More nonsense went down at our school board meeting. David joins us midshow to discuss schooling, State of the Union and Ukraine/Russia. Are we Rootin for Putin or Standing with Ukraine? Enjoy!

Here is an excerpt from episode 68 where we talk with Karen, a local mom of school aged children. We discuss the concern surrounding the direction of our local school board. Since this recording, mics have been cut off during meetings and parents have been arrested. A follow up will be coming.

The Super Bowl is over and we give our reactions to everything but the game. Arrona has a deathwish. Doug & Jim’s story time: Doug’s Jäegermeister & Hotdog breakfast with a cop, on a train & a scared old man. Jim learned (the hard way) that Bliss never lasts.   Rogan and the great N-word debate. Who cares?   David Cross proves his comedy changes with the science. Is Karma is a horoscope for dudes?   Big Musical Extravaganza Finish. ENJOY!!!  

Jeffery Zucker steps down from CNN.   Whoopi learns a lesson.   Neil Young is an idiot and Rogan isn’t dangerous.   Bari Weiss sounds familiar.   Tom Brady retires and the Dolphins are still terrible.   An interview with Karen on the current state of our local school board rounds out this episode.   ENJOY!

The Dawgs have won the Natty (finally) and while Doug saw it coming, Jim can’t find words to explain it. RIP Bob Saget. Queen Elizabeth strips Prince Andrew of his royalty. MARTA CEO throws himself in front of his own train. G4TV gets rebooted and a new host blows up on her less than thrilled fans.

Happy Insurrection Eve!!! Arrona got Corona in Arizona for Christmas. CNN gets over served. Doug talked to the Devil and reconsiders weed’s existence. Jim learns how to get kicked out of an arcade.

Bama crushes UGA’s spirit…again. Doug tries to cheer Jim up to no avail. Brian Kelly exposes his southern charm. A Christmas dinner turns awkward when Jim gets hit on by a Playboy Bunny. Arrona gets an offer he can’t refuse. A concerned parent blames the chosen ones. Trever Noah gets close to a realization. A grandmother’s poor review gets the cops attention. ENJOY!   Outro music: “Deck the Halls” by Stumble Witch https://youtu.be/EnxjhluWFu4

In this episode we talk about the Braves winning the World Series, the disaster at AstroWorld and Kyle being set free. We also briefly get into the Ahmad Aubrey case and how Tiger King should’ve stopped when they were ahead.   Obvious note: we’re legally stupid. Our takes on court proceedings come with a less than elementary level of understanding how to watch videos on YouTube. But that doesn’t necessarily mean we’re wrong.

(@ignoretherant_podcast)   The Braves are in the World Series for the first time in 22 years and Doug is nice enough to let us talk about it.   The guys check out Jim’s recent appearance on Jim Breuer’s Patreon podcast and criticize him for not mentioning the podcast.   Follow Breuer’s Patreon to hear the full episode and catch his new special next month. https://www.patreon.com/jimbreuercomedyspecial     We dive into the seedy underbelly of Kansas City Chiefs superfan life. Trust us, it’s better than it sounds.   Alec Baldwin has zero trigger discipline. Is Rogan is waking up?   NIH says what we’ve been thinking and an NBA Player claims the jab may have ended his career.

Jim drank too many energy drinks and we talked about the following…   Chappelle faces backlash over recent Netflix special.

Welcome to the Feds’ favorite podcast. After seeing a surge in listenership, we mock a list of recommended shows that are nothing like us (hopefully). We follow up on a ridiculous text conversation and we find out Gators and Brian Laundrie have something in common…they are both accused of killing 1 person this year. Dog the Bounty Hunter is trying to renew his relevance after letting his prior certification expire. ENJOY!   Follow the show on Instagram: @ignoretherant_podcast   Daryl Davis story mentioned: https://youtu.be/waVrJEIfahc

On this episode, the guys pay tribute to the late great Norm Macdonald. Jim is bad at impersonations but that doesn’t stop him from trying. We try our hand at being a true crime podcast. Nicki Minaj’s cousin has a friend with a problem. We’re almost certain Jim Breuer listens to our show. Arrona & Jim read a ridiculous tweet and Stumble Witch’s newest single closes out the show. Follow the show on IG: ignoretherant_podcast

We’re all over the place (nothing new) in our 58th episode. Doug & Arrona have week 1 faith in their NFL teams, while Jim is reminded that football is played on Saturdays in Georgia. Can the patriarchy be aborted? Biden takes our attention away from the 20th Anniversary of 9/11 as everyone’s patience runs thin.

Recorded on Labor Day 2021. Jim cheered on his Dawgs while staying in a zero star hotel. We talk about a promising treatment that is Strong enough for a horse, but made for a human. The “follow the money” crowd has gone silent, but we dissect the dollars that could be injected into Pfizer, with the help of a new video from Josh at The Hourly Struggle. Trump releases a campaign vid and we’re over it.

The news out of Louisiana isn’t good and the reporters make it worse. Limp Bizkit is still cringe. 2/3 of this podcast aren’t aware of the latest social media fad (that’s a good thing) but it doesn’t stop Jim from trying to explain it, poorly. The war in Afghanistan may be over but that doesn’t mean peaceful times are ahead. Elon Musk is terrifyingly awesome and Doug is scared of computers. ENJOY!

We talk conspiracy theories, flat-earthers, angry council meeting attendees, Doug takes a jab at the shot and a guy named Ray has a 1 man show in DC.   Video referenced in this episode: https://twitter.com/lpnh/status/1424845965404553218?s=21

David from Through the Muck & the Mire joins us to talk about his time serving in Afghanistan. Jim & Doug also give their thoughts on the recent fall of the country and address who is to blame and how we got here. Correction: *Jim made a mistake when talking about the Iraq war connection. He said Taliban when he meant Al-Qaeda.   Scott Horton’s video series detailing the history of America’s War on Terror: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLq2qhcVwTVJRQuCWXMVUM8SG2qYDFoPZA

Jim goes to a Braves game, and no one cares. Cuomo’s distraction scandal heats up while Joe Rogan gets angry bout Murica, then pushes possible war propaganda. In the last hour, the guys break down an HBO Max documentary recently released about Woodstock ‘99. Spoiler alert, middle class white men bad. Finally, we look at the Offspring firing their drummer on doctor’s orders.

We talk entirely too long about music (musicians who’ve recently passed and what is music) while shitting on EDM…again. The olympics are happening and no one cares. We talk about what it was like to live in Atlanta during the ‘96 olympics. Women be gettin murdered in Atlanta parks and we address claims made by wine moms who listen to too many true crime podcasts.

Episode notes that don’t get read but sometimes I write things just for fun.   “White liberal women are the worst.” - maybe Jim

Doug’s first single gets fumbled by Spotify. Britney Spears and her continued daddy issues. A triple murder in Atlanta has Jim thinking it’s not as it seems. The MLB All-Star game is propaganda. Finally, what everyone has been dying to know….what do we think about the Amish? Enjoy!

While most shot fireworks, others shot each other over the 4th of July weekend and we discuss who did it best. Jim & Doug share stories of their experiences in the hood. Canada takes out newly found aggression against Catholic churches. A San Fransisco Choir tries to up their new membership in an odd recruitment musical. Haiti's leader gets lead poisoning. Enjoy!   Also - stick around til the end and be the first to hear Doug’s upcoming single “Over Again” by Stumble Witch.
