Reminder that the Patreon is reopening February 1st, please adjust your subscriptions as you see fit, thank you.

Tab and Chaco are back again this week, and this episode is actually being released in the same Lunar New year it was recorded! Talking about...

Petit Tyrants

Shflation

Weaponizing Others Religion

We grant people control over little mundane things all the time. Normal people take this power with grace and dignity and only wield power in a manner consistent with the common good. Others plant their little poop emoji flag on their new "Kingdom" and make everyone else's lives a living hell. These are the exact people who should never be allowed sway over the lives of others in any capacity, send them to the mines. You're now the Senior VP of smashing this rock into a smaller rock.

We've talked a lot on this show about how the world has been on this downward trend for all of our lifetimes and most of our parents lifetimes. Now we have a new term, "Shflation" it's all the best parts of Shrinkflation and Sh!tflation combined together in a cheaper, smaller and less durable package! Just keep outsourcing it all and cutting corners that's never going to bite us!

Religion is a playbook for life, you are born into one, or maybe you choose one later in life, regardless it's yours. When others who don't read the playbook, and actively despise your playbook try to coerce your agreement by misrepresenting your playbook to you, it makes me irate. You want to enforce morality, or ethics, come with your own playbook and make an argument why your book is better. Oh you don't have a book, yours is just about how mine is all lies. Sound to me like you need to STFU!

All of that plus news, voicemails, and that all important CPAP UPDATE!

Big announcement this week, starting February 1st the HWIDG Patreon will be back up and collecting donations, please edit your subscriptions as you see fit, and thank you for your support.

This week El Chaco are back in 2025 and bringing in a big episode talking about...

Reparations

Playing God

Command Track

Victim points are all the rage, and they'll continue to be as long as we keep giving into this delusion that you are somehow owed for having a bad experience. In the same vein as trying to get an apartment because you were on the hours long sinking of the Andrea Doria, the gimmies are out here trying to capitalize on events a century gone by. This is absurd, the only person to blame for your circumstances is yourself, take responsibility and move on.

It's the Year 2125, HWIDG has been on the internet for 107 years. The Patreon is at nearly 200 space dollars. Tab and Chaco are hooked to dozens of machines barely alive, eyes held open to an endless stream of AI Generated rage bait, so the show may go on. Are they alive? Technically yes. Is life worth living? Not at all. Why are we trying to extend life, when we haven't even gotten rid of the things that make life crap? Maybe we should work on improving today, instead of gaining endless tomorrows.

Someone once spoke on power corrupting, someone else once spoke about how those who seek power are the least qualified to wield it. Both of those have been rattling around my head for the last 5 years as I've moved more and more into management. This vicious cycle of earning more, and living better has pushed me from the simple console jockey I once was, into a leader, and I gotta say it sucks. At the end of the day someone has to make the tough choices, and I think I'm better at it than someone who wants to make the tough choices, so I guess I'll just keep going.

All of that plus, News, Your voicemails, and as I said February 1st the Patreon will return to offset the costs of producing the show.

Another delayed episode now available for your listening pleasure. El Chaco and Tab are ranting in this doubled up episode.

Pet Parents

Cultural Rorschach Tests

People Who Don't Understand Rights

Taylor Swift

Single white women who just can't find a good man, of course they can't respond to a text message either, have no choice. Instead of putting their biological urges into letting go of the delusion that they can find a 6'4" man who makes $250,000 a year, has no kids, isn't fat, and is going to love them at their worst, they're going to invest it all in a pet, and now "I'm a mom." This absolutely tedious response to nature's clock makes me want to put a sign on the moon telling them all to "loose weight."

More and more it seems we live in different planes of existence from each other. The same event will be seen by different sides and it's like someone is tweeting from the Mirror Universe of the Bizzaro Universe. Completely divorced from the same reality you and I dwell. It's truly telling though how their worldview shapes the interpretation of seemingly obvious events. 

For all the talk of how Teachers deserve more, it's pretty clear not a one of them did a good job, especially those tasked with teaching history and civics. There is a complete misunderstanding of how rights work. From the simple of not understanding where they come from, it's not the government. To not understanding the difference between a human right, a civic right, and a positive right, lumping them all together as if our creator intended for people to live in servitude so that you can be treated for being too fat to fit in an airplane seat.

Taylor Swift is a global phenomenon, why though? The songs are mid, her dancing is mid, her face is pretty mid? Why do we keep hearing about her? Everything I've learned about Taylor Swift has been against my will, and I am really starting to resent it!

All of that plus new, your voicemails, and starting February 1st the HWIDG Patreon will be back!

This long delayed episode is finally live, this time Tab and Chaco are talking about,

The Death of Human Content

Art as a Process

As AI slowly takes over our lives, but before the robots rise up to wipe us all out, the first thing they are doing is just filling our feeds with trash. It's really our own faults though isn't it? I mean we've spent years doom scrolling through vapid nothingness of clickbait content across all social media, the well is starting to run dry so here's AI to add more trash for you to doom scroll through. At this point the robots won't even have to wipe us out, they'll just wait us out as we turn into the fatasses from Wally, and then they'll turn off the food tubes.

Piggy backing on that is the myth that art is something that can be automated. Sure there's a step by step process to completing a project, but true art isn't a paint by numbers task that can just be done. You need a spark of humanity to be able to create, without it you're no different than an AI, taking input and extrapolating out something kind of average and uninteresting.

All of that plus News, Voicemails, and effective February 1st the HWIDG Patreon will be back! Thanks for listening and supporting the show!

Welcome back to a rip roarin episode of HWIDG. Support Tab's inexplicable mustache choices by visiting www.Linktr.ee/moghvember once you've done that listen to Tab and Chaco wax poetic on...

Dystopia Overload
The Liberal Thought Process

For too long in media the dystopia has reigned supreme. Even when things look good, turns out the whole society is built upon power being derived from the flatulence of the masses. It's lazy writing and boring metaphor at this point. Give us something else, or you know keep doing the same garbage and act surprised when it doesn't sell.

It's 2000 and liberals are melting down about the election and wishing death on those they disagree with.
It's 2004 and liberals are melting down about the election and wishing death on those they disagree with.
It's 2016 and liberals are melting down about the election and wishing death on those they disagree with.
It's 2024 and liberals are melting down about the election and wishing death on those they disagree with.
Wow they aren't even trying any more.

All of that plus, tips for tanning, sasquatches, being ontime, and which former president should be in a hole in the ground!?

This week we're joined by JamieDlux and talking about mustaches linktr.ee/moghvember

Emotional Exhibitionism
Vice in Virtuous Clothing

This was recorded before the election, but holy hell did we see some more proud cry babies on the internet this week. It's worse than 2016 was. Why do these people take pride in being wound up by the world around them, it's pathetic.

These days as we continue to slide into degeneracy, the masters of the simulation try to make it seem like they aren't trying to poison our souls by having degenerate behavior minorly fund something that seems proper.

Additionally I'm taking part in Movember re termed Moghvember with some coworkers. We're raising funds for Peter and Paul Community Services here in St. Louis which services Men's homelessness. You can donate to one or all of us at Linktr.ee/Moghvember

This week we're talking about

Blaming Climate Change
Days of Infamy

El Chaco had an audio issue at the top of the show. I've taken his solo intro and attached it to the end. If you want an update on his horrific neighbors and can make it through the noise it's on the end.

This week we're talking about

Sudden Genre Death
App Deliveries

Chaco and Tab are back again this week, allergies are in full swing across the globe but these brave men soldier on in the face of adversity speaking on...

Loud Music
Dollar Store Derision

Everyone love's music, but you know what nobody loves your stupid music. Turn the knob down dillweed, we need not be subjected to your poor taste. There are about a hundred ways to listen to your music without affecting others. And audio engineers, if that's what you really are, turn your garbage system down. I shouldn't be experiencing physical pain at your concert, turn your amps down.

Dollar stores are everywhere. With low prices, under paid employees, crappy selection, and even worse quality, they're taking over the market. Rather than fix the problem in our society, commerce being regulated into oblivion, fuel costs skyrocketing as we demonize fossil fuels and limit production, increasing the minimum wage so worthless people can be paid more than I made as an assistant restaurant manager 15 years ago on their first day at mcdonalds, where they still can't stop putting ice in my drinks. No we need to stop the stores from existing, don't fix the culture of poverty, stop the stores.

All of that plus job advice, Chaco is in limbo, and your voicemails.

Joel and Tab return from the shapeless void, with 7% more estrogen in their blood and no way to redeem it, they're complaining about...

People Who Don't Respect Sundays
Plastics
Rewards Programs

Sure we should all be absolutely irate at the fact that our grandparents raised 5+ kids on less than $40,000 a year and only one income. What we should really be irate about though, is that our grandparents worked that one job, and when they left Friday afternoon, they we basically unreachable until the following Monday. Not any more, now your boss can insert themselves into your life about any stupid bullshit, at literally anytime of day or night. Then you get some absolute BS of, "You didn't answer my call on Saturday, you're not being a team player." Bitch I am not on the clock, leave me the hell alone.

60 years ago when plastics first hit the scene, it was a miracle material, light, flexible, and nigh indestructible. Now we're learning the true meaning of that last part. As more and more plastics are created it is slowly killing us. We may have fixed the toxic pollutants of the industrial revolution, but we replaced them with something far more insidious and longer lasting.

Have we covered rewards programs on this program? Sure multiple times, but they keep screwing us over so we're going to keep bringing it in. Be sure to get your card stamped for this version of rewards programs, after 10 you get a free cockpunch.

All of that plus news, and your voicemails!

Larry Bleidner returns to the show, completing the full cycle. Beginning this week we go back to talking about forklifts, Paraguayan Wrestling, and rooting for Trump. You don't remember what was said 7 years ago, we're just going to start recycling the same tired material and raking in the patreon dollars.

We're revisiting...

Throw Pillows, Birthday Weeks, 12-Story Falls, Commie Lovers, Mid-Life Crises
Stress
Incompetent Druggists
Inconsiderate Gym Goers

They say Fear is the mind killer, but it's not. Stress is the mind killer, it's literally killing all of us constantly, yet we do nothing to adequately control it. In fact sometimes stress causes a reaction that only induces more stress. That's why I am declaring War on stress, anyone who is still stressed by the end of this episode, will be summarily executed.

It's not enough these days to medicate every condition under the sun into submission, no these days we need to finely combine so many assembled chemicals to be right on the edge of poisoning ourselves or curing an affliction. Enter the pharmacists, and assistants, you'd think they'd follow one of the rules of acquisition about returning customers, but no they're totally okay with you OD'ing, just as long as they get that smoke break.

Courtesy basically doesn't exist anymore. No where is that more evident these days than the gym. Dudes with 3 sets of free weights, texting on their phones. Girls camping on the leg lift machine, texting on their phone. People of both genders standing where you're trying to walk, TEXTING ON THEIR PHONE. Put the phone down and lift.

All of that plus a revisit of episode 1, news of how much the government hates you, and your voicemails.
