I don’t talk about it much but I am told oh 20 times a month on average things like,
- I am doing it wrong (as in this show)
- Someone is going to contact my sponsors to tell them I am offensive
- If I continue to do things this way it will be “the end of TSP”
- I need to think like Reagan and build a “bigger tent”
- Get this one, “I have a public responsibility to make TSP more listener friendly”
- Oh and it just goes on and on and on and on
The real irony is when some dip shit gets offended, tells me off and I tell them to go screw and they say something like, “wow what happened to you, this isn’t like you”. I am very tempted to ask these people what the hell they are smoking and could I please have some.
Take a look at our disclaimers and policies page, the current version of this page was published on 1-1-11, hey I like numeric patterns. One of the most recent pathetic mental breakdowns was from Episode 2223, where I used the “F word” about a dozen or so times to drive home the point about how schools are creating these school shootings and the fact that 5,000 youths a year kill themselves and over 30,000 attempt suicide. Now pardon my view but if there was ever a place for the F word, that is it!
That said I generally don’t use that word on the air, so when I did I did the following…
- Marked the episode explicit
- Announced on air that it was coming and to skip ahead if you didn’t want to hear it
Now keep in mind in my disclaimers it says among other things, the following and has since January of 2011, which is seven years ago!
“We believe in freedom here, if you choose to listen to our show you do so as a free human being on planet earth and therefore we are not responsible for any “mental anguish”, “mental trauma”, “feeling of being offended” or any other emotional problems that you get from doing so.”
I have to say that is about as honest and clear cut as it can be! The beauty though of always being yourself is when such assclowns attempt to harm you, all they can really do is build you up, and that is the magic of building honest personal brand. The key word there is honest! Anyway since I am going to be gone until the 25th on vacation after today I thought may be we could have a fun show and one that can change your life if you choose to act on it.
