Yes, I was podcasting in 2005.

I was originally a segment producer for a show called Ben Nation, which was recorded in a radio station. I did little skits before being brought on as a full-time co-host between 2006-08. I left the show to be the videographer for the band Cealed Kasket.

According to Podchaser, I have 815 podcast credits under my name, and that doesn't include podcasts I guested or hosted between 2005-2010 (Yes, I was a regular guest on a podcast in 2005 and the three shows I produced/hosted between 2007-2010).

The frogs have landed in Chicago!

Protestor in a frog suit and an anti-Ice sign with what I believe to be a Pokémon character on a street corner in Rogers Park.

I was going to write more, but I got cut off, so I'll wrap it up.

I'm really happy to see how far BDE has come, and I'm wishing him the best in his career.

I met Brandon a long time ago during a 2K press event, when he was just starting out. We'd chat a lot. Year after year, I'd watch his career grow, and we continued to chat at 2K press events.

It's really cool to see how far he's come. In my meetings with him, he's incredibly humble and a good dude.

People in frog costumes showing up to ICE detention centers.
Protestors playing Yakety Sax while Kristi Noem stands on a roof looking over them.

With an administration that uses social media to post bad memes and AI videos, it's time to make a mockery of them. Protest in costumes. Play silly music.

Skattebo is the Kool Aid Man. People had trouble tackling him in college, and it continues in the NFL.

The guy is also just fun to watch. He did a flip in the endzone.

Every team should have 1 "fun guy."

Best fun guy moment? Terrell Owens pulling a sharpie out of his sock after TD and signing it.

She makes a good point. After we blow up the sun & put walls up to block the wind, what are we going to do?

We GOTTA blow up that sun & we GOTTA build a wall so wind can't get around it.

While we're at it... Hydropower? Where are we going to get all that water after we make our HUGE waterslide?

There’s a viral video reposted by a lot of news people nationally about an abduction at West Loop Elementary School, but there is no school with that name. The video seems to be of ICE detaining people near UIC yesterday. Details matter. We need to try to get them right before sharing.

Just to back this up...
As someone who knows numerous air traffic controllers, starting pay is around $45k.

Andy @andy.wrestlejoy.com · 1d

Reading the air traffic controller subreddit and they are saying starting pay is 45k, and this will be an excuse to have the public turn against them because they are rich when they are barely scraping by.

Sec Duffy saying starting salary for air traffic controllers is 180k

Still think Antifa isn't violent? Here's bodycam footage of Antifa founder B.J. Blazkowicz shooting a heroic member of ICE who was just trying to protect this great nation. Thank God we have Blazkowicz's girlfriend in custody.
