Episode 314 - All Hail the King (ft. Madcucks)

Flashback, it's 2016 again, Buck and Chaco are the hosts of the show and a very special guest is in studio to whine and complain he got cucked. That's right Madcucks comes out from his alley way, if he sees his shadow it means there will be 6 more years of Dick Masterson being more successful than he'll ever be. While he figures that out the hosts are talking about...

- Vindication
- Gratitude
- Personality Disorders

I didn't get to weigh in this week so here's my hot takes on all the issues.

More than anything in the world I love being right, it's often enough for me to know I'm right, but the even better feeling is when the other person has to admit they were wrong. Currently there's major efforts being made by people in high places to pretend they weren't wrong for the last 3 years. It's infuriating. We'll never be apologized to for the crimes committed against us, the slanderous propaganda they used to weaponize our neighbors. Nope it will be a big amnesty and all the sheeple will happily forget that they were conned into calling the police over nothing, only to be fooled again the next time they need to be corralled into making the right decisions.

Thanksgiving was last week, people throw around how happy they are about their lives for about 10 minutes before diving onto amazon to find the deal of the year on that piece of techno crap. Was $59.99 now $79.99 on sale $59.99! I GOTTA BUY IT! Gratitude means nothing these days. Thank yous are thrown around like you'd say "Good Morning" "How are you, fine and you?" or "I promise I won't stab you with a fork." We just habitually say it to the point, I had to teach myself to stop saying thank you to the toll takers, because THEY AREN'T PROVIDING ME A SERVICE! I used to thank them, thanks for stealing $5 from me for the audacity to use this road that's been paid off for 50 years. All because we're guilted into showing gratitude for no reason.

As the child of a Narcissist I spent my formative years learning to sacrifice my own wants and needs for the benefit of the person manipulating me into the actions they so chose. Fortunately for me I had a great father figure who saved me from ending up a self centered manipulator trying to get the most for me possible. I know you're thinking, "Tab, your face is on the cover of this episode with the phrase 'All Hail the King' and you're not a narcissist?" I'm not, I'm something far worse, I got trained into being subservient to others to not evoke their wrath, and instead be rewarded. Doesn't seem like a big deal until you realize you're working a job that 5+ people should be doing, working 100+ hours in a 5 day period, and the 5 people that replaced you 3 have already quit in 6 months. I nearly killed myself to try and serve others, what did I get for it? Slandered and abused. I'm not doing it anymore. I want to have hobbies, I want to sit on my sofa, I want to have friends that don't also do theatre. Call me selfish all you want, you can blow me.

All that plus forgotten sponsors, casual blasphemy, a fake Mr. Ed recap, and you finally get to see what happens when I'm not running the show. Until next week!
