SHOW NOTES: In Today's Episode of the Greatest Shit Show on Earth:
Every week, shocking headlines continue to dominate the news, continually escalating to a new level we couldn't imagine the week before.
Stand-up comedians continue to be targeted and threatened. Americans should be appalled by the threat placed on comedians and their lives.
Does no one care about or cherish the life of an adult man just trying to make a living by telling funny hardy-hahas on stage to distract us from our poorly miss guided anger?
Are the Dave Chappelle's of the world to be tossed in a dumpster and discarded with no plan B?
Are we supposed to just accept that his life means nothing compared to the unborn fetus that is technically still only a sperm slug?
While we are asking these deep philosophical questions, what is life anyway? Is it merely a simulation being played by an advanced being with Cthulu God-like powers? Is this supreme being only trying to distract himself from his own cosmic chaotic turmoil, hoping that all of his problems will be resolved and vanish from his turbulent higher existence and consciousness?
In the grand scheme of things, maybe, as simple tiny piss-ant humanoids, we are no different from the Demon-Gods who play us as their own next-gen sim trying to level up to distract themselves from the harsh reality they aren't willing to accept. After all, isn't that how we cope with our day-to-day lives?
I guess we shall find out in this week's episode.
