 Good morning weirdos. Here it is Thursday March 30th. It's almost 9 a.m. Central time and it is D I know it now the final day for my road trip ruminations have finally almost home and This will probably be the last road trip ruminations until my next road trip, which will be Let me see here. Let me look at the calendar real quick. It's going to be Let's see here. I'm not doing anything next weekend. Oh yeah, but The weekend of April 15th and 16th. I'm going to be in Davenport, Iowa for the Quad Cities Comic-Con So that'll probably be by next road trip ruminations as I head towards that Probably on the 13th or 14th and then coming back on the 17th and and or 18th So you'll finally be done with me and my just Marlar Maniacal or maniacal that is not me and rings. There you go And I think that's enough alliteration for one morning You can tell I'm wired, but I don't know why because I haven't had my caffeine kick yet I know so I don't know why I am in Monticello, Minnesota Could not find a holiday in last night when it was time to pull over Usually I'll pull up my IHG app. I happen to be one of their gold members I found out that I just that seems to be the hotel chain that I like the best But I couldn't find them so I had to pull into a best Western, but you know what that's okay It's a good night's sleep got the job done. That's all I really needed. All I all I needed right last night Was a bed. I didn't even care about a shower or anything else I just wanted a bed to sleep in so I could jump back into the weird darkness beast and head back home I did have an odd thought last night With all the news going on about you know the guns and stuff like that The word antifa comes up quite often and I'm wondering why do we say antifa? Why is that the pronunciation? It's either antifa or antifa, which is which is odd because It is actually short for anti-fascist that's what it's supposed to be so Anti-fascist shouldn't we be saying antifa or antifa? Yeah, antifa that that's that's what we should be saying Okay, yeah, all right. I'll stop now. I might check in a little bit later on though Hey weirdos well, let's see here. It is almost 4 p.m. Central time and I'm at home In fact, I've actually been home for a little while. I just got out of the shower, which feels so great That's one of the downsides of being on the road You can't really find a really good shower until you get home So I actually feel myself again, which is really nice. I Got something pretty cool in the mail when I came home. I've been gone for so many days I had a lot of mail that had piled up, but one of those boxes was really special I received something from Hillsdale College Apparently because I was did a guest lecture there Well, I don't even I don't know if you could even call it a guest lecture, but I was a guest In class a few weeks ago for a Hillsdale College class and it was audio production Radio Podcasting stuff like that. So that's the reason that they had me in and I was there for about an hour And I just kind of told them about what I do and showed them a little bit about the process that I use And they were so thankful. They sent me not only a thank you card But they sent me a big box full of great Hillsdale College stuff. I got a baseball cap I got a pendant that I you'll probably see the pendant if you watch any of the videos that I record for Facebook and YouTube I'll have that in the background They sent me some stickers and pens and a Hillsdale College coffee mug couple of American flag keychains couple stickers So if they're listening right now the Hillsdale College class with Professor Scott Bertram Thank you so much. That was really really kind of you a nice surprise to come home to and That's it I'm gonna go ahead and call it a day because I got a lot of work to do in order to prepare for tomorrow's Friday Frights Live. You'd think I'd be able to take a couple of days off, but no Well, hang on one last update I just was sorting through all of the mail that was on my desk And there's one thing here that I thought was just left here accidentally by my bride, but no She borrowed a movie from a neighbor of ours and I was so impressed that he had it I asked if he would be willing to sell it and she asked him and he said add just take it It's yours to keep Wow What this is is the deluxe edition digitally remastered DVD of Disney's Song of the South Yes, the D the the the band movie the movie that they have tried to erase from history They're even removing the the rides at Disneyland that were based upon this or renaming them rebranding them The even the song zippity-doodle they're trying to get rid of Because of all of the quote-unquote racism in this film it is a wholesome fun film and You know if you look at it without Trying to be offended. It's a lot of fun. I can't believe though That this is a real DVD of song of the south. I am a minute. Hold on. I gotta open this up I haven't opened I have all I've seen is the is the the outside cover. Hang on. Oh my gosh. No, this is the real thing I Thought maybe it'd be a bootleg DVD or something But it's branded in the in the the the CD itself You know what I'm gonna take a video of this and post it online because this is just Amazing Wow, okay, I just had to share that but now I think I'm gonna make a video of it Just so everybody can see what I'm talking about. Okay. Well, we'll see you tomorrow night for Friday Frights
