The Shit Show Radio Hour

The Shit Show Radio Hour

Perhaps a more fitting manifesto than podcast, The Shit Show Radio Hour is an audio confessional; a downward spiral into the abyss of ideas and concepts that inspire- and plague- a comic, long before stepping up to the mic. Lonnie Bruhn's manic, rant-style frustrations offer a backstage pass to the place in a comic's mind where chaos becomes premise and keen observations become expertly-sprinkled satirical breadcrumbs leading audiences to the huge payoffs they come to expect from the stage.

In part two in my discussions of conspiracies, I face one of my biggest challenges I've ever been confronted with during any previous episode of TSS Radio hour:

Trying to make scientific research funny!

Rest assured, I will not shy away from the immense responsibilities I face. As your host, it is my duty to navigate the uncha...

In part one of a two part series I discuss the craziest ideas people believe in and my views on the outlandish conspiracies so many people are convinced the government staged.

In this special bonus episode lets explore the minds of the lunatic fringe culture we so easily dismiss by saying things like, “How brain dead are you? The proof is literally all around us—...

There can be only one way to describe a moment like this. It’s a miracle! What other explanation could there be? The odds of waking up from a coma two years (to the day) from when I first fell under, are astronomical, wouldn’t you say? If that wasn’t shocking news all on its own—what’s more astounding, I was able to jump out of bed, dress myself, and stumble into the studio to record this episode.  Thank the universe f...

After taking last week off from catching a nasty cold that knocked me on my ass which, I'm reasonably confident, it wasn't Covid either. It didn't feel the same as the previous two times I came down with it. Then earlier in the week, I received devastating news. My friend, who I've known, respected, and loved for more than 15 years, didn't win the battle after suffering a massi...

SHOW NOTES: In Today’s episode of the greatest shit show on earth:

I begin the show slightly differently than usual. I begin on a personal note, of my own struggles dealing with recently related relationship troubles that fall in line with today's show. Pursuing a toxic and codependent relationship can wear on the soul.

I learned a lot more about what it really means to raise a new ...

In Today’s episode of the greatest shit show on earth:

I finally get a new episode out after 3 weeks of pure bullshit. Between a massive audio issue that seized my production, a health issue that I may or may not divulge in this episode, and even family responsibilities, I weighted the world against me but I got this episode out.

Act, I, II, and III can lick my ... (laughing)  Look, it is going to be worth the long pause.

Let’s imagine for a moment you never listen to Fox News but they already accounted for this. The owners, creators, and CEOs of Fox News Media already anticipated this scenario. There is even a name for it. The Hack Gap. What is it? How does it work? Are we all aware of the results? All this is explained in my newest episode.

The question I ask in today’s show is this: What is the problem with Americans?

What makes everyone think America is the greatest country when it’s filled with people like you and me? I know the perception of the world might be that we live in the best country, but, do we? How can this be true when America is filled with Americans? It doesn’t seem possible so long as we are a ...

In Today’s episode of the greatest shit show on earth: I know its not Monday but because this episode is finally droping on Friday... Well that's how my shit show went this week. 

Do you remember the very first time you were exposed to the truth about your parents? Hold onto that thought. Shit shows are everywhere in life, all burning out of control, but how did we not spot them? These sorts of things just don't pop into existence...

In this episode of The Shit Show Radio Hour, Lonnie Bruhn returns to the topic of Vladimir Putin and his unjust nostalgic love affair with a past and ancient Russia that is impossible to ever get back again. Even if he were to succeed by conquering a peaceful nation looking to write its own history rather than living under the boot of a mad man. More than that though, this episode is about a world of...
