American Nuthouse

As there wasn't much new of note taking place in the world, I was at a loss as to what to discuss. So, I took advantage of a convenient crutch and decided to take some of your questions.

Of course, there are headlines... scads of them, as a matter of fact. And they include Florida prisoners, the Los Angeles Marathon, Jeffrey Dahmer's mother, Jeffrey Epstein's medical examiner and so much more. Enjoy!

In this episode I present the arguments for and against Operation Epic Fury. I'll then let you know if I'm for the action and provide you with my reasoning.

There are also a gush of headlines that include creepy nurses, disgraced mayors, Snoop Dogg, Justin Timberlake, Kristi Noem, Joe Biden and a whole lot more. Enjoy!

In this episode I review the recently complete Winter Olympics, and the ridiculous treatment the U.S. Men's Hockey Team has received since winning the gold medal. I also provide a brief review of the State of the Union speech and leave you to judge how closely it came to the draft I went over in the previous episode.

And there is a cascade of headlines that include a theoretical astrophysicist, Kanye West, sickos representing the states of Florida and Kentucky, a creepy doctor, Bill Clinton, Leonardo DiCaprio and so much more. Enjoy!

In this episode you will hear me read what I believe to be a rough first draft of this coming Tuesday's State of the Union Speech. I can't vouch for how close it will be to the finished product, but I'm guessing it's pretty darn close.

Before I get to the speech, there's a torrent of headlines that include cabinet secretaries, sex workers, Kylie Jenner, Cardi B, Baywatch wannabees and so much more. Enjoy!

In this episode I address multiple topics. I give you my take on the latest release of the Epstein files, the search for Savannah Guthrie's mother, the so-called conservatism of the Wall Street Journal, and the happenings at the Winter Olympics.

There is an abundance... some might say overabundance of headlines dealing with Native American tribes, government fraud, Minneapolis yoga students, ridiculously high sums of money paid for comic books, Chinese biolabs and so much more. Enjoy!

In this episode I discuss the disaster that is the state of Minnesota, and implicate their elected officials, the media, Republicans and the American people for what the mobs in that state are perpetrating.

There is also a covey of headlines that include pro football coaches, Florida snake hunters, Bill Gates, sicko teachers, AI, your favorite rap artist and convict, and so much more.

As I recorded this episode on February 2nd, that makes it three years to the day I recorded the very first episode of American Nuthouse, and 122 episodes later, I'm still standing...

I decided to keep things light this episode, so it's all about the recent Academy Award nominations. I give you my take on the ten films nominated for best picture, and why very few of them are worth seeing. I also share seven of my favorite underrated films that I highly recommend.

There is a treasure trove of headlines that pick on groundhogs, snowplow drivers, college football players, billionaires, drunk chefs and so much more. Enjoy!

In this episode I respond to criticisms I received from various listeners. Many which were sparked by the most recent episode, A House Divided.

To lighten the load there's a gaggle of headlines dealing with many of the usual, and not so usual suspects including, Donald Trump, OnlyFans stars, a Super Bowl tailgate, Keifer Sutherland, jealous girlfriends, and much, much more. Enjoy!

In this episode I ponder what it might be like if the country split in two to become the Blue States of America and the Red States of America. Tensions between the two America's continue to ratchet up as we are seeing in the state of Minnesota. Will things calm down or are we destined to have a second Civil War? I propose a peaceful solution to our current dilemma.

There's also a truckload of headlines that deal with masturbating transgenders, Nicolas Maduro, a rampaging monkey, the Loch Ness monster, a well-hung offensive lineman, and much much...

Welcome back for the first episode of 2026. As Donald Trump got bored over the holidays, he decided to amp things up by sending a military team into Venezuela to arrest their corrupt president and his wife (probably for not letting his sons in on their illicit, yet highly profitable schemes). I'll provide you with my take on the mission as well as provide you with my predictions for the year.

There are also a cluster of headlines that deal with drunk Santa's, Meth head carjackers, the Kilauea volcano, vengeful moms and much more... including the return of...

In this episode I look back at the predictions I made back in January and see how I did. I got some right and some wrong and some somewhere in the middle. I hope to do even better next year.

And yes, there are headlines. They deal with the Pope, politicians, trendy restaurants, Ivy League morgue managers, former SNL stars and so much more.

As this is the final episode for 2025, I wanted to wish you loyal listeners a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Please know how much I appreciate your taking...

As we approach Hanukkah, this episode is dedicated to the Festival of Lights. No headlines... just a pathetic try at poetry.

Enjoy and Happy Hanukkah!

This episode is a departure from the usual, as it's devoted to music.  I discuss the nine songs that meant so much to me in between the ages of 7 and 17.  I won't list the songs here, as I felt it works better as a surprise as you listen.  

There are a throng of headlines as well dealing with the familiar including an ethically challenged teacher, a transgender cheerleader, a stab happy college footballer, bad government policy and a whole lot more.

It's my hope that the episode leaves you with and appreciation of music and those who create and perform it.  Enjoy! 

For those of you that are big fans of the headlines, you're in luck.  Those that don't care for the headlines... well, tough nuggies, as that's all your getting this episode.

The headlines include illegal aliens, lesbian astronauts, radical Islamists, Gazan beauty pageant contestants and Jeffrey Epstein.  Please try to enjoy! 

I'm back from my two-week trip to Southeast Asia and I want to tell you all about it. I kept a diary, and it provides a vivid travelogue of the trip to honor Mrs. Contrarian's 65th birthday.

No headlines this episode, but they'll return next week. Enjoy!

As I couldn't think of a specific topic for this episode, I dipped into the mailbag and took your questions. I'm asked about my dream job, what makes a happy marriage, my favorite movies, why there is such a thing as existence and other light-hearted topics.

There are a pack of headlines to tickle your funny bone and include Hispanic Heritage Night in the National Hockey League, Illegal gambling in the National Basketball Association, Donald Trump, bad women drivers, polite black bears and what could be funnier than a jailed jihadist. So sit back and enjoy... TGIF!<...

In this episode I give you the real reasons that the establishment can't stand Donald Trump. It's not his orange skin or bouffant hairdo, nor his mean tweets, or his coarse and vulgar personality. They just use those as excuses so as not to face up to the truth. You'll have to listen to get real deal.

There's also a pack of headlines that include Florida executions, Bill and Hillary Clinton, naked demonstrators, judges, fortune tellers, obese lawyers and so much more. Enjoy!

If, like me, you believe that our standards have been diminished, then this episode is for you. I discuss how we as individuals have let our standards drop, and that goes double for our institutions. I take digs at sports, politics, academia, the media and more.

There's a pack of headlines dealing with a Florida man, a Chicago woman, A New Jersy man, NFL officials, an Intersex professor, everyone's favorite jailed rapper, and more. Hope you enjoy!

You probably weren't expecting a new episode so quickly, but the turgid paly of the Jets yesterday demanded an encore. It's a short episode to be sure, but I had to relieve some frustration. Be glad you're not a Jet fan. No headlines today, short and sweet. Enjoy!

In this episode I share my lifelong woe in being a fan of two of the worst sports franchises in sports, The New York Mets and New York Jets. This past weekend was particularly brutal as the Mets season ended in total collapse, and I witnessed it in person. The Jets made a mockery during their appearance on Monday Night Football, but I was fortunate to not have attended that game. I promise you'll enjoy it even if you're not a sports fan.

There are also a swarm of headlines involving self-driving taxis, risqué school board meetings, t...

In this episode I discuss the Jimmy Kimmel contretemps and what it means for free speech. Has and should the federal government dictate what speech is appropriate and what's not? Did the Trump administration tell Disney and ABC to cancel Kimmel? Where do we stand at the current regarding free speech?

There are also a horde of headlines dealing with youth football coaches, runaway cows, Jewish gun clubs, high speed police chases and so much more. Even our favorite rapper makes a long overdue appearance. Enjoy!

Several incidents have taken place this past month that highlight the malicious nature of the left. A school shooting by a transgender in Minneapolis, the murder of a Ukrainian refugee in Charlotte by a schizophrenic and the assassination of Charlie Kirk in Utah by a transgender friendly furry.

I discuss my thoughts on all three of these incidents as well as the general state of the culture and how the left has poisoned it. No headlines in this episode as I wasn't in a joking mood.

Take a listen and feel free to comment.

Socialism is making a big comeback, and, in this episode, I discuss the envy and fairness arguments at the heart of this philosophy. Once Zohran Mamdani, Bernie Sanders, AOC, and Elizabeth Warren listen to this episode, I have no doubt that they'll drop socialism like a hot potato and embrace capitalism.

There's also a heap of headlines having to do with the elderly groping, corn shucking, bikini clad baristas, Bill Clinton and Joe Biden. Enjoy and you'll hear from me again in about two weeks.

I figured I'd get in one more episode before the long weekend. As I don't believe I've sounded grumpy enough on recent episodes, I attempt to give sounding miserable the old, and I do mean old college try. I selected a few topics that were on my mind and let off some steam bitching about them.

There's a heap of headlines to boot, with many of your favorites making an appearance. Poorly behaved airline passengers, sexual harassers, car chases, shark sightings and so much more. So, have a listen and a wonderful Labor Day weekend!

As promised, I will share sections of Kamala Harris' new book, 107 Days. It's an eye opener as she rips all those involved in her losing presidential campaign. I've probably already said too much, so I'll stop right here.

While my review of her book should have been enough for you moochers, you'll also be treated to a multitude of headlines. They include underwear clad gubernatorial candidates, nurses diddling their stepsons, priests hooking up with strippers, senior citizen love triangles and so much more. Enjoy!

It's been a very busy week or so what with wrapping things up before retiring. So, all you're getting this episode are lots, and I mean lots of headlines. They include the heirs of bowling king billionaires, Nancy Pelosi, a drunk nitwit, a naked doctor, a man in a diaper, a familiar and notorious rapper and so much more.

At the end of the episode you'll get a teaser about a very special episode to come. So, sit back, open up a beer or some other alcoholic beverage and enjoy!

I thought I was done with conspiracies for a while, but with the new information regarding the Trump-Russia hoax, I had no choice.

Be prepared to hear of newly released emails that shed more light on how the Hillary campaign, the Obama administration and his intelligence agencies, and the media conspired to paint Donald Trump as a Russian asset. I'm not sure if anyone will go to jail, but it's nice to see some of those implicated begin to sweat.

There are headlines aplenty including a late-night show host, Sydney Sweeney, pilots, grandmas, dance teachers...

In this episode I address the Jeffry Epstein conspiracy theories and how the Trump administration is handling them. I touch on other recent and not so recent conspiracy theories, some of which I think are crazy and some that have since been proven true.

Lots of headlines if that's your thing. Everything to do with ex-husbands, ex-wives, canoodling CEO's and HR bosses, meth heads and a host of others (though not a single mention of a certain troubled rap star). Enjoy!

Believe it or not this is episode 100 of your favorite podcast. I take some of your questions and hopefully provide satisfactory answers.

There are headlines aplenty including cops, robbers, chases, immigrants, cannibals, Diddy, P Diddy, Puff Daddy, Puffy and so much more. Here's looking forward to the next 100 episodes!

Sink your teeth into another Iran dominated episode. I provide a timeline beginning with news of operation Midnight Hammer taking place, all the way through Friday.

I also touch on the NATO Summit, Queen Maxima of the Netherlands, the Bezos-Sanchez wedding and Supreme Court decisions.

There are a bevy of headlines addressing the insanity perpetrated by a sheriff and his wife, a burglar, Hunter Biden, young women who should have become Girl Scouts and everyone's favorite demonic rapper.

Take a load off, or drop a load, whichever strikes your fancy, and enjoy! attention<...

This episode is about what's currently transpiring in the Middle East. I discuss the amazing ways in which Israel has taken out a large part of Iran's nuclear capabilities as well as how the region is in major flux.

I give you my thoughts on just how involved I think America will be and how things play politically here. Will terrorism come to our shores if we join Israel's offensive... I guess we'll soon see.

For those of you that enjoy the headlines more than my pseudo-intellectual babbling on world affairs, don't fret as there...

There's been so much going on this past week that it was difficult to decide what to talk about. But after much internal debate, the Los Angeles riots won out. I address the difference between protesters and rioters, who might be funding the violence and how the Democrat party and the legacy media wish to deceive you.

The headlines will give you a chuckle as many of the usual suspects, like rappers (and not only Diddy, P Diddy, Puff Daddy, Puffy), sexually abusive teachers, corrupt politicians and drunken airline passengers.

Wishing all you dad's out...

Buckle up as in this episode I bare my soul while exploring how we got here and what makes us do what we do. Is there a G-d? Do we have free will? You'll know the answers by the end of the episode. Yeah, sure.

Lots of the usual headlines about naked drug addicts, the transgendered, Elon Musk, his daughter/son and, of course, Diddy, P Diddy, Puff Daddy, Puffy.

Enjoy!

In this episode I defy logic and provide the Democrat party with some commonsense advice that they will no doubt ignore.  They've come up with a new program on how to get back the young white males who have abandoned the party.  I give it to them straight on how best to accomplish this.

I also briefly summarize recent court decisions, Elon Musk and his tenure at DOGE, men competing in women's sports in California, and the state of the markets.

There are plenty of headlines about fat amusement park attendees, naked airline passengers, rabbis with guns and so much more.  Enjoy!

I'm a few weeks late giving an overview of Donald Trump's first 100 days in office, so I go over his first 125 days instead.  I cover inflation, immigration, foreign policy, wokeness and so much more.

There are lots of headlines dealing with troubled airline passengers, bumbling police officers, corrupt doctors and so many other malcontents and malefactors, including everyone's favorite, Diddy, P Diddy, Puff Daddy, Puffy.

So, sit back and enjoy!

In this episode I cover Donald Trump's trip to the Middle East where he met with the leaders of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Syria.

He did his utmost to start the relationships anew while bringing home almost $3 trillion dollars for investment in the U.S. Will we see a renaissance in the region with these moderate Muslim states leading the way? Who the hell knows!

While he was tilting the world on its axis, our media here at home was obsessing over "Original Sin", a soon to be released books by...

In this episode I revisit Ancient Rome and compare both the Republic and Empire to our current situation right here in America. I discuss the advantages and disadvantages of having an emperor and if we would better off if we had one.

Of course, there are lots of headlines that deal with willful children, cannibals, kangaroos, corrupt government officials, Diddy, P Diddy, Puff Daddy, Puffy and so much more. So, relax, learn a little history and have a few laughs as we head into oblivion. Enjoy!

In case you still believe that so-called experts have the publics best interests at heart, this episode will make you think twice.

In areas that include education, healthcare, law enforcement and government, we've been lorded over by credentialed morons whose asinine policy proscriptions have taken this country backwards. I provide numerous examples to make my point and hope I did it in a way to make you chuckle once or twice.

And there are a multitude of headlines as well, poking fun at humanity in all of its imperfection. So, sit back and enjoy!

As promised this episode contains headlines only. They include the usual deviants including, but not limited to, corrupt politicians, corrupt judges, corrupt school boards, and corrupt entertainers.

So let the corruption engulf you and have a few laughs while you do. Enjoy!

Yes. I'm back from my cruise and have been able to take a bit of a breather from work.

Get ready for some bashing of Democrats as I highlight their subservience to illegals that are criminals and gang members. They are spending their political capital on thugs who've been deported and are ignoring the things regular old citizens keep telling pollsters they care about.

I also discuss some other things recently in the news like that all woman space flight, the 250th anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord and AOC seemingly running for...
