https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-qsdgz-90311b

This episode runs a little longer than normal, made it al the way to the 2-hour mark this time. I hope this level of content is more appealing since I got a little more personal towards the end.

I talked about Thor Ragnarok, Stranger Things, and Men in Black 3. Music topics include Abba getting back together, Kanye West and a story of how I got into rap music.

TV topics this week include my brief thoughts on the most current episode of Roseanne, then a list of TV sitcoms that could potentially be brought back mostly from the 80’s and 90’s with my logic as to why each would or wouldn’t work.

I briefly got a little political as I shared my thoughts on the North Korea situation. I also rant a little, as I often do, about what bothers me about people not being left alone to just live their lives how they see fit. I also share a secret from my childhood.

The Dark Web Podcast Episode 17- Special Guest Sam Houston talks about his new promotion, The Rat rants on the NSA and Channel Awesome

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-wiiij-8fc7f9

This episode gets a little exciting. First up is a 30 minute interview with special guest world-famous professional wrestler Sam Houston. He talks about his time working with the WWF, his brother, Jake “The Snake” Roberts, and his new upcoming wrestling promotion, All Pro Wrestling League, based in Texas.

I skipped talking about Roseanne this week instead I get into Shameless again. I also decide to dig a little deeper into the Channel Awesome controversy. I know I brought it up before but with new revelations I felt I needed had more to say.

I also make a bold statement during my NSA rant how I would prefer if my listeners were’t Rush Limbuagh fans after I learned his thoughts on computer hacking. Sorry for getting almost political again but I had to tackle something he said on his show Friday that didn’t sit well with me. Full disclosure, I know he is one of the most popular broadcasters out there and I certainly hope I get some of his audience, hell I’d be happy with just the people who tune in for the intro and change the station, so no harsh feelings. Just he gets under my skin when he attacks computer hackers without knowing what the hell he is saying. Not just him, anyone for that matter.

I also spend some more time talking about the revelation Sega is contemplating porting Sega Saturn and Dreamcast games to the Nintendo Switch.

I also quip I might consider changing the name of the podcast to “this guy says F%&K a lot.”
