SFR 502: An Uplifting Ending

Explicit content warning

09/30/19 • -1 min

–SFR is here again, and we’ve recorded for back to back weeks for the first time in what feels like months. But the more things change, the more they stay the same. Bobby holding a kid again.
–Okay, we can’t ignore it. The Trump impeachment inquiry is underway. We recap the basics of the story, and hope most everyone can at least agree that what the president did was wrong. But, should he be removed from office over it? Was the act severe enough (at least based on what we know now) to nullify the results of an election? We give our answers, and we hope you’ll contact us to give us yours.
–We despise Cancel Culture, and yet it has reared its ugly head again in the case of Carson King, a young man who raised millions for a children’s hospital, only to have his good deed tarnished by a reporter who dug up a couple inappropriate tweets he made around 8 years ago, when he was a teenager.
–The Des Moines Register reporter who helped “cancel” Carson King, is now out of a job after his own bad tweets were dug up. He seems to think he is the real victim as well. Where does the madness end?!?
–Swedish teen Greta Thunberg becomes the face and voice of a climate movement, which is amazing. But Jason has serious concerns whenever adults task their children with the responsibility of being the leaders of a movement.
–We touch on how activists have to have more substance to their argument than just emotion. Know your facts, know your history, and at least know the science or mechanics behind what you’re being an activist for. Because your opponents probably will, and they’ll kick your ass if you aren’t careful.
–We end the show this week with a powerful and uplifting email from a listener who has been with us a lot longer than we ever knew. Listen, and hear Bobby and Jason not only be touched emotionally, but encouraged to keep evolving, growing, and challenging ourselves and others.

SFR 501: Punching the Clown

–SFR is back in your life! And with another week away, there’s a lot to get into. Where to begin?
–The “Storm Area 51” event, that morphed into AlienStock, that morphed again into an all things extraterrestrial free for all happened over the weekend, and we give the scoop on what went down. Good news: it doesn’t appear anyone had to be vaporized for trying to see ‘dem aliens.
–Justin Trudeau had a bad week. Some old photos of the Candian PM donned in “brownface” were uncovered and he had to make a few apologies. Bobby laments that liberals focus on these kind of scandals. Jason says that, while he is pretty sure Trudeau is not a racist, he does enjoy when someone who positions themselves as ultra progressive and “woke” has to grovel before the politically correct elite.
–Benny Hinn is renouncing the prosperity gospel, in what Jason thinks is almost assuredly a new version of the same scam he has been pulling for years. Bobby warns to heed the words of James Randi about these “unsinkable rubber duckies.”
–Bobby attends a friend’s diaper party, and shoots an AR15! How did he, someone who admits he is uncomfortable with guns, feel about shooting the most despised firearm of the political left? Well, it sure sounds like he enjoyed it...
–We went to the theater to see IT and some creepy guy offers us his children. A weird little event we just had to share with you.
–Finally, we give our fully detailed review of IT: Chapter Two, and yes there are *spoilers* involved. Bottom line: neither of us liked this movie, and we left very disappointed. But we want to hear what you thoughts, so please let us know.

SFR 503: A Little About A Lot

–Fresh off Oktoberfest at the Nelson family abode, Strange Frequencies Radio is back. We’re still full from the beers and brats, but dammit we’re ready to go!
–Let’s start off light. Stranger Things has been renewed for season 4 (no shock there) and we’re not in Hawkins anymore. Plus, the Duffer Brothers have signed a fat deal to continue producing content for Netflix. What wonders might we have in store?
–Let’s talk fake hate/bias crimes again. We mention two, one involving a 6th grade black girl who lied about three white boys cutting off her dreadlocks, and another here local to us about a black mother blaming a “white bitch” for an attempted kidnapping.
–Bobby, an unabashed Star Wars nut, is very upset after seeing Mark Hamill took a big dump on Ivanka Trump after she shared an image of her young child in a stormtrooper costume. Jason bemoans the divisiveness, where not even images of kids are safe from rage due to political squabbles.
–Bernie Sanders suffers a heart attack on the campaign trail, and we discuss whether or not he should drop out of the race.
–The trial of Amber Guyger for the killing of Botham Jean is over, with the former Dallas police officer being sentenced to 10 years, with the possibility for parole in 5. But Jason was moved by the act of true humanity and forgiveness on display from the Jean family, and wishes the more sanctimonious among us could take a lesson from it.
–Bobby showed Jason the Sandy Hook Promise “back to school” commercial that debuted a couple weeks back, and we discuss whether ads like this, as well as the “active shooter drills” going on in American schools do far more harm than good.
–We end the show with a report and video of a UFO sighting in North Carolina, and break down the likeliest explanations. Is it aliens? Or flares?
