Doomed Planet

#108: What is Pornhub doing with our information, and what are we doing with their information? The truth will shock you and make you feel gross - like you just crawled out of a septic tank. From the days of Playboy to our current era of phone porn, the host of Doomed Planet has seen it all in real time, a unique qualification for leading this dark journey into Pornhub - one of the world's most popular websites.

#107:  A rebooted America's Most Wanted features original tough guy host John Walsh and his son, wearing matching leather jackets. The first episode opened with the story of the murder of Adam Walsh, of course. We allege that the case is unsolved and that John Walsh is still a suspect. Kidnap/rape victim and child safety activist Elizabeth Smart was trotted out. Actors pretended to work the phon...

#105: My lesbian friends and their degenerate black criminal associate arrived at my junk food feast. Then the bible-thrasher neighbor kid said a prayer thanking the aboriginals for dying of European diseases in great numbers before the settler-colonials from that part of the world were able to slaughter them, saving money on bullets and concentration camp construction costs.

Parents in 1973 were giving their kids copious amounts o...

#102: Gig economy food delivery startup Instacart has finally filed for an initial public offering. Sales peaked during the pandemic and are now flat, with little realistic growth on the horizon. An exploitative business model continues to harm the company's image and alienate employees. Formidable competitors have emerged, and relationships with supermarket corporations are tenuous. The founders and their venture capitalist sponso...

#101: Seattle rock musicians who didn't live to see old age include the fabulous four - Jimi Hendrix, Curt Cobain, Layne Staley and Chris Cornell.

#100: Cheating workers from their pay is a common practice at restaurants. In Seattle, a new law has helped lawyers win big settlements for wage and tip theft victims.

A mom and pop business engaged in this sort of fraud will probably not get sued, but if your food empire gets too big get ready. Canlis, Tom Douglas, Red Robin, Zeeks Pizza, Lowell's, Great State Burger and Pagliacci have all found out. Who is gonna be next?

#095: Chauncey Wright turned his Klondike gold rush grub stake into a profitable Seattle restaurant empire despite being known to never deny a broke, hungry man a free meal. He pioneered the eight hour restaurant shift and paid his staff the same rate as they had been earning for a ten hour day. He died young, his widow Annie married a drunkard, and the Chauncey Wright Restaurants Company was taken over by Hazen J. Titus - a market...

#094: The Gooey Duck Song was a regional hit inspired by the geoduck, a giant mollusk named by aboriginals for it's phallic appearance. 

ALSO: Evergreen college claimed the geoduck as it's mascot in 1971. The Gooey Duck song became a standard campfire ditty for Washington State summer camp kids. Koch brothers lackey Mike Rowe defiled a geoduck corpse on his reality TV show.

#093: Model and actor Carrie Stevens writes about her long-term open relationship with Kiss drummer Eric Carr in Unrated: Revelations of a Rock 'n' Roll Centerfold. This unabashed autobiography fits squarely in the "rock groupie with a poor understanding of feminism" genre. If you're a really good-looking but not talented young person looking to leave small town America for a career in big city showbiz read this book first before m...
