Takes all kinds. When it comes to 'fans', no 'celebrity' has a corner on the ones with manners! Many times, Projection, Ego, Narcissism go deep enough to create clones..

Checked but not included - along with dozens more - due to the Time/Space Continuum. Visiting different aggregators and blogs invariably offers links to more aggregators and blogs, usually of similar philosophy. Research suffers from the Target Rich Environment - kinda like Baskin-Robbins!

Good recommendations for keeping up with current events and history. Future trends are in there, too. I read many of the articles on the links you mention.

But as for being a talk show host... oh, no, not for me. My randy humor would get me banned, fined, and pretty much cancelled within a week of doing a radio, podcast, or video show.

Me, "So Tucker, that wristband you are wearing, is that part of some cult that eats baby umbilical cords?

Me, "So Dr. X, you say the vaccines are dangerous. Have you punched doctors in the face who prescribe these dangerous vaccines? Why not? Did you at least flatten their tires?"

Me, "So Vivek, does anyone in America know how to pronounce your last name? Do you?"

Me, "So Donald, what's with the eyes? Melania has dark mascara around her eyes and around your eyes it is white. Why?"

You see what I mean.

Trust me: there's an audience out there for those questions. A pod cast is Job Security One. Everything about it is You. Boss included. That Audience may not stick around if all ya got are snarky one-lines. But Alex Jones has been crass for decades - and he's still there, complete with massive judgment for not having the required discipline of self-control. But his info has been generally solid despite its sensationalism.

Brian: Good advice. Thanks.

Years ago, my wife and I spent a night at a nice hotel in Bodega Bay, CA. That's where Hitchcock filmed "The Birds".

The couple staying in the room next to us were Alex Jones fans. They both wore camo, drove a 4x4 Jeep with Infowars stickers all over the windows and bumpers and had two obnoxious little dogs. They kept us up all night with their TV blaring until dawn. This was during the Korean Winter Olympics.

The Alex Jones fans were two of the rudest people we've ever met.
