Johnny Podcast is back. Pulled in at 6:40 with windows down and some droning podcast playing loud enough for me to hear every word.

Okay, let’s go. It’s on.

If we’re going to listen to each other’s radios, I’m opening with Meat Loaf’s classic “Bat Out of Hell.” ImageImageImage
Johnny Podcast is dug in. This is going to take higher firepower.

The heavy artillery. That can mean only one thing:

Sisqo - “Thong Song”

Lace up and Bass up. It’s game time. Image
DJ Hoarse just crossfaded into Public Enemy’s “Bring Tha Noize” - the high octane duet with Anthrax.

This version just kicks. Now I don’t even care if he turns down his podcast. Image
This is psychological warfare. The key is to maximize the distraction value.

Let’s go Broadway. I smell a sing-a-long coming.

🎶 Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes… 🎵 Image
I got so caught up measuring a year in daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee, I didn’t even notice Johnny Podcast fleeing the battlefield. Image
I’m almost sad now. I was about to roll right into the Gourds’ timeless bluegrass cover of Snoop Dogg’s “Gin and Juice.”

Oh, what the hell. I’m in the mood. Image
Anyway, we now return to our originally scheduled programming:

The full cast ensemble from the timeless classic, Nature, playing a little sunrise improv.

Trump left office with billions in debt he needed to refinance.

Even worse, many of his properties turn operating losses. They need inflows of new money to even stay in business.

All it would take to kill the Trump Org. is one domino: Deutsche Bank calling his loans.

1/
Trump is leveraged to the hilt. His business is a house of cards built on debt he can’t afford to service.

One tiny push and he would suddenly have to hastily sell off assets in a fire sale… which would make all of his other loans suddenly even riskier to lenders.

2/
High-debt businesses reliant on constant access to credit can go down in flames surprisingly fast.

Happens with retail brands a lot. They eke by until it just implodes. Doesn’t matter how big the retail chain is. Once they are in a credit squeeze, it’s a steep spiral.

There are 10,000 bread choices.

How come not even one of them is thicker slices?
People like bread. That’s all I’m saying.

And people like french toast.

Make a bread good for french toast. Fat slices, all swirled up with cinnamon and shit. Soft like challah.

Thick & Twisted Bread™

Presto. You’re rich.
10,000 kinds of bread. 9,900 of them are the same boring-ass wheat, rye, and white from different companies.

Not a single fat slice option in the whole lot of them.

Missed opportunity.

Makes me Thick to My Stomach™. Image

Want to know why I am so harsh on here?

Because our society has a deep and ruinous disease of “being polite” about terrible people who do harm to the moral netting which protects the vulnerable.

Our culture teaches us to dance around harsh truths about terrible people.

1/
Good people have been worn down over centuries of indoctrination to think there is actually a virtue in pulling up short of attacking threats to our wellbeing with an unrestrained venom.

That model favors abusers.

It favors abuse.

2/
People delude themselves into thinking they are somehow doing a great job by politely maintaining an absence of discomfort while terrible people go unchecked.

That is bullshit. Until we “good hearted people” get much more okay with setting public fire to assholes, we’re fucked.

Yesterday, my son and I went away on a one-night trip. We had just checked into our hotel room. I sat down on the bed and opened my phone to find a ton of unread texts from my friends waiting.

One of our other friends, one of my best friends growing up, is very sick.

1/
I am still in shock.

Having gone through my mother-in-law’s cancer, I’m no stranger to having to compartmentalize.

So, I pulled it together; cordoned off that news for a few hours; and was present with my son for dinner and then a concert.

2/
I stepped out of the room to get coffee this morning and there waiting just outside the compartment I managed to put it in for the night was the news of my friend’s diagnosis.

I’m in shock. I’m devastated. And maybe worst of all, I’m familiar.

So, I’m sitting in my car in the foreground there with coffee, camera and binoculars birdwatching the grounds out of frame to the left.

That black car pulls up. Woman rolls down the window, says “You’re blocking an active roadway, you know.”

Me: No, I’m not.

Her: You are.

1/
Me: No. I am not.

Her: That (pointing to the grassy lane to the left of me) is an active roadway.

Now, mind you, in ten years of going there, I’ve seen one vehicle pull down that path. They waved to me.

Her again: You should move.

2/
Me: (Tone shifting to “I’m not the one for this, lady.”) I have been coming here for ten years…

Her eyes go wide that someone might actually respond to her bullshit with a “No.” and she legit spits gravel hitting the gas to drive off.

I know this is going to sound random, but I have an ask of you:

Today, plan something to look forward to.

Something you really want to do.

A meal, a show, a trip, a class, a visit to friends, a project. It doesn’t matter what it is.

Just something you want to do.

1/
Today, before you go to bed, commit to doing something you want to do.

If you can book it or some part of it, do it. You can sort out the rest later.

There is something you’d love to do out there. Something you’ll look forward to until it arrives.

Today, make it real.

2/
It can be a year off. It can be something you have to save for. It can be something easy or hard.

It really doesn’t matter.

It just has to be an answer to the question “Name one thing you’d love to do…”.

Take a step toward it happening.
