Here's What I Don't Get

Check out the Video Episode!On this week's episode of HWIDG, we'd like to apologize for any audio snafus there might be, but just remember we're just a couple of dudes. We're not one of these big podcasts backed by a global media company. Those kinds of podcasts have like 5 producers and 3 editors to catch all of that. So if there aren't any audio problems, praise us, because we're just as good as these big name podcasts that absolutely don't have any problems whatsoever.- Alien Covenant- Non-Alcoholic Whiskey- Live Chat- Web of LiesAh, the Alien movies. Is there another series that spans such a gamut of quality? Maybe, but I can't think of one right now because the awfulness of Alien: Covenant is still living rent-free in my mind, days later. It's a lot like a Karen. She wants to be vegetarian, but still eat BBQ. Alien Covenant wants you to care about its characters but does nothing with them and hires charisma-less actors to portray them. It wants you to marvel at the new cool aliens, but then takes the practical effects they did on set and paints over them with CGI. It wants you to believe that these people are scientists on an alien planet, but they don't bother to wear any protective suits! Just say 'NO' to Alien: Covenant.Who is non-alcoholic whiskey for? Why it's for losers with poor self-esteem! That's right! Don't drink but still go out to bars and parties where people pressure you like you're a Sophomore in high school, and you feel bad about it? Boy do I have the product for you. Just sign this form that registers you as a Spirit Offender and we'll be on our way. In two to four weeks you should receive your first shipment of Swill™! What is Swill™? Well, we ventured into a remote mountain in the Galapagos and found a tribe of natives that had never had alcohol before. So we took their local toilets and rinsed them out, then bottled that rinse water! It's perfect on the rocks, in a cocktail, or buried with you deep in the ground where no other person can have it!Imagine if you will, a sports bar. Imagine all the folks watching the big game that night. Now take their thoughts and shouts of excitement and mix them in with the thoughts and shouts of excitement of approximately a dozen deranged hobos. Pop them up in chronological order and that's what its like watching the live chat on YouTube or Twitch, or anything streaming. You've got your garden variety trolls, your obligatory scam spammers, the crazy people that think the people they're watching are their best friends, and your lonely "show feet plz" troglodytes. They invented the "Hide Chat" button for a reason. Use it.Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies. That's what Stevie Nicks said. Well Stevie, how about you stay over there in Lie Land with Todd Howard and the Government and leave us alone. We're called Truthers and we want to know the truth. Can it be hard to accept? Yes. But it's like pulling off that band-aid. The longer it sticks, the more it's gonna hurt. And eventually? Well it's not a band-aid, it's a scab. The kind that is just ready to heal and you might as well be peeling off skin when you get rid of it. "I never want to do that again" kind of pain.All this and more on this week's episode! Don't forget to join us on DISCORD, and support us on PATREON or by BUYING A SHIRT!

Tab and Chaco are once again on the air, this time battling with...FaceModern AgingToo much of our society is about pretending we're better than we are. Social Media is clearly a dangerous experiment, people manufacturer a façade of life, and then judge their own reality and façade off of others and feel miserable. People will lie to your face and you will let them, because if you call out the lie you will be destroyed for questioning orthodoxy.These days people seem to look younger, but our bodies, our bodies are aging at horrific rates. Early cancers, heart disease, terminal illnesses. It's awful. Is it something in the food? Is it something in our lifestyles? A combination of multiple factors? Thanks, I hate it.

Tab and Chaco are back, and this week they're talking about...Protected ClassesDesign for Non-UsersThese days we're all about Equity, well just as long as your one of the groups that have been decided to need more equity than others. If you're not one of those, well you can just go pound sand, one day we'll out number you and then we'll continue punishing you for the sins of the past.As technology continues its downward spiral into trash we constantly have to update to ruin the functionality of devices. My tablet updated for no reason this week, and now the painstakingly laid out interface I made is worthless because for absolutely no reason they changed the layout of the icons. I hate them, I hate them so much.

Tab and Chaco are back again, discussing.GuiltsplainingTelevision AdsThe most honest thing you can do is accept when you're wrong. Almost nobody can do that though, there's always some extenuating circumstance, or sob story that justifies whatever reckless act that was committed. It's shameful, and it's been setting our culture back for decades, just admit it, you're a dilhole, and then we can all move on.RFK might be banning pharma ads soon, that's a great start, but let's get rid of all of them. Do these work on anyone? Oh wait I forgot Boomers. My bad.

El Chaco is back with an Unsolved Mystery, perhaps you can solve it?That plus...MusecideForcing Your markOur inspiration for art has slowly vanished from the world. As women become fatter, more tattoed, and sporting bright toxic colors, why would we bother to do anything of meaning to attract them. All you need is a decent magnet and with all those face percings they'll come running.Legacies can't be forced, you can only do your best and hope someone will want to carry your torch afterwards.

Chaco and Tab are back this week, and they're getting into a little bit of a disagreement talking about...Nothing BurgersBoomerismIt's time to give up. Nothing seems to ever change, no consequences will ever be had. Our lives were destroyed not 5 years ago, and nobody has had to face any sort of music. It's all so tiresome. It's an insult to burgers really to be compared to such a big unhappening. We should call it what it is, and Nothing Vegan Burger. That's a better comparison.We live in the Post Apocalypse. It wasn't a world war, AI, or some sort of plague that ended the world. Well it might have been a Virus. A mind Virus of entitlement and quick satisfaction. A virus that one generation nurtured and cultivated, until everything in our lives is either trash or slop, all the while they shout down from their ivory towers that we're all lazy do nothings. Go get your college degree so you can be a middle manager at a Panda Express. Oh that's why I went to college, I thought it was so I could afford a house, oh wait, YOU BOUGHT THEM ALL! When you manipulated rates and loans to benefit yourselves!

Chaco and Tab are back for once last February arrow discussing...UsuryFranchise ExecutionsDebt has really become the shackles which we are dragged around. Most institutions are founded around creating or exploiting debt. Generational wealth is being eroded away for the middle class, and hence they are descending into the lower class. All of this while faceless bankers line their pockets and devalue not just our currency, but our value as people.Hollywood is in dire need of an intervention. Every other day some star says something profoundly stupid or uninteresting and immediately irritates half the population. You are a dancing monkey, dance, that's all we want from you. Brands are immolating themselves to try and earn credits from one group or the other. We're pro second amendment! Yeah I do not care, is the coffee good? Oh it's not? Thanks for nothing.All of that plus news, a voicema- oh never mind.

Chaco and Tab are back again this week and their manifesting their Toxic Masculinity talking about...Poor Male Role ModelsThe End of Shop TalkThe gynocracy has been upon us for more than a generation and men pine for someone to look up to. Unfortunately there are a mess of toxic men out there seeking to leverage desperate men into a payday. They pretend to support traditional male values, instead though through degeneracy and deceit they lead more young men to unfulfilling lifestyles.Part of the PC culture taking over is the end of men truly speaking of what they know and the hows and whys. Generational knowledge of taking charge of your life and home is dying and with it the independence that men used to embody. As we fail to learn from our predecessors and worse fail to pass on what we know what happens? That's right the death of western society.All of that plus your voicemails, news, and is that what I think it is? A CPAP Update?

Tab and Chaco are back again this week. Tab has been mildly electrocuted and Chaco is under the impression he's fighting in the French Revolution.DelulusThe Project Slippery SlopeWe've talked about it before but more and more it seems there's a total disconnect between the reality we live in and the perceptions of those around us. Partially it is the massive media push to keep moving from subject to subject so quickly you'll never know or remember what happened. Partly it's a culture that rewards forgetfulness and terrible self image. Either way it makes those of us stuck on this plane completely miserable.We've all been there, sun is setting on a Saturday afternoon. That quick half hour project has ballooned to all day. One of your eyes is twitching, there's a non-zero amount of blood spread around the area, and your wife is asking when you are going to be done because we have dinner with the Smiths. I guess it will continue into Sunday.All of that plus your voicemails, news, and a very special CPAP UPDATE!

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 TyrantsShflationWeaponizing Others ReligionWe 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...ReparationsPlaying GodCommand TrackVictim 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 ParentsCultural Rorschach TestsPeople Who Don't Understand RightsTaylor SwiftSingle 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 ContentArt as a ProcessAs 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!

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 OverloadThe Liberal Thought ProcessFor 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!?Donate to Moghvember at Linktr.ee/moghvember!

This week we're joined by JamieDlux and talking about mustaches linktr.ee/moghvemberEmotional ExhibitionismVice in Virtuous ClothingThis 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
