Random Thoughts: Unraveling Human Injustice and Society's Misconceptions

In this episode, we reflect on the irony of maintaining a healthy human body, grapple with unsettling political trends, scrutinize law enforcement procedures, clarify misinterpreted notions of patriotism, and shed light on sports culture. We end with a heart-wrenching personal story about a missing relative and the torment of unending uncertainty.

We begin with a humorous yet sharp critique of human health and fitness culture. We discuss the paradoxical measures we take to keep our bodies in shape and the bizarre dietary requirements necessary to achieve optimal health. This segues into a serious discussion highlighting concerns about burgeoning dictatorial tendencies among certain leaders who seemingly have more respect for autocrats than for the constitutional law that binds our society.

We further delve into the law enforcement process, citing its flaws, and question why certain legal practices seemingly contradict the principle of 'innocent until proven guilty.' We also express frustration at premature evidence disclosure that could potentially violate a person’s constitutional rights.

Shifting gears, we critique fans' unrealistic expectations of defense in All-Star games. We argue that these games should be about impressive shots, ingenious tactics, and shared fun rather than defensive strategies.

We then dissect the concept of patriotism, warning against its misuse to suppress diversity in thought and to instill fascist values under the guise of nationalism.

The show concludes with a personal, poignant narrative about a long-lost family member. This tale underscores the deep pain that can accompany the absence of closure and how the hope of learning the truth, no matter how slim, can be a beacon in the darkness of the unknown.

Episode Transcript

(00:00):
The human body is the worst invention on the face of the earth. The worst.
Think about it. If you want your body to be good and healthy, you got to beat it up.
You got to tear up your muscles. You got to get out and do things that if you
did them to a car, it would destroy the car.

(00:20):
And then you have to eat things that don't taste good.
Eat the things that taste bad. They'll make you healthy. This is a sick joke.
Whoever came up with this, I have words for you.
Did you ever think there would be a time when somebody in leadership in this

(00:42):
country would have such a fixation on dictators?
And we're talking about evil dictators and that same person wanting to be a
dictator who doesn't like the laws of the country is obviously concerned that
he's limited by this crazy thing, by the Constitution.

(01:05):
Did you ever think you'd see a day like this?
Okay i have to tell you i'm very frustrated when
a law enforcement officer a sheriff gets
up and they announce to the world we have
our guy and then they introduce all the evidence that uh is against that person

(01:28):
this is not correct this is not how you get a fair trial in this country This
is not innocent until proven guilty.
You should stand up and say we have arrested somebody, not give out all the
evidence unless you have a need to collect more evidence and simply shut up until the trial.

(01:52):
That is innocent until proven guilty.
You know, everybody's been complaining about the All-Star game,
that it was like 400 points between the two teams.
Let me tell you something. I don't go or watch an All-Star game to see defense.
I don't. That's like going to a dunk contest and expecting defense.

(02:17):
Why are you expecting defense? fans, I want to see the coolest shots, the funnest shots.
I want to see these stars who are always serious, lighten up and have fun together.
I wouldn't care if it was 600 points. I would enjoy the heck out of it.

(02:39):
Let me tell you something. You can't have the word patriot.
It's not yours. It's not yours to take. And this idea that has crept into our
society, that only a patriot is somebody who agrees with me and everybody else hates the country.
Do you know what? That's not patriotism. There's another word for it.

(03:02):
It's called fascism. When you want to force your viewpoints on everybody else,
patriotism is a love of our country and the Constitution.
And if you believe George Washington, it's a love of your fellow countrymen
and the fact that our institutions give us the opportunity to disagree and to

(03:27):
be able to fight those disagreements in legislative halls.
You cannot have the word patriot.
You know, very kindly and thoughtfully, a lot of you have continued to ask about
my missing nephew, Mason.
Many of you know he disappeared, wow, quite a few years ago now after leaving

(03:51):
to go to school in St. George.
And he just disappeared off the face of the earth.
Nobody has seen or heard from him since. There were searches.
There was a huge Facebook group.
Everybody has tried to find him.
And unfortunately, the update is that there's no update.

(04:13):
And I think we're all to the point in the family where, you know,
there's not going to be an update. date.
And we all hate to say that. I don't want to speak for the family.
I am not a representative for this family.
And I just want to share with you what I know and hopefully with your prayers

(04:39):
and some amazing discovery in the future, we'll find out what happened to him.
