Chris Chris Chris. Story Hour last night. That was my all time favorite Badlands conversation and I’ve been here since the beginning! EPIC. Re Mondays show - as I was listening I thought about how you’ve taught us about addressing conflict and how I’ve internalized a lot of that as I’ve applied it - well something else I’ve picked up that I really thought about during that Monday show was how ROUTINELY now when I hear something disturbing or alarming or even mildly concerning my mind immediately shifts to you don’t know if that’s true. Wait and see if it maps. And I got to thinking even though that is something I use on myself it’s another good one liner for my repertoire- say wait wait how do you know for sure thats true? Did the tv tell you that? That’s easy to say. And one more thing - I don’t know how you or others here think about this - and you may already be considering this - and I would never want to presume to advise you - but I was thinking about those 2 hr shows and how at least in my own case they take me two days to give the requisite time and thought to- which is why I’m always Johnny-come-lately with any comments I might have on those (!) so I know I wouldn’t mind if you did 2 hr ones and then took the next day off to concentrate on writing. Just suggesting! Not criticizing! You’re the perfect Podcast Prince!

Thank you! And that's good. I'm going to try to create more free days, potentially. I don't want episodes to be that long, but I also want to be able to be thorough.

Sometimes I’ll go back and relisten to one and it’s like I never heard it.

There's just so much Chris unpacks in each one!!! I usually have to go back and listen 2 or 3 times!!! ❤️

Its so true. He doesn't realize how far ahead of us he is and how much more he understands than we do. Its a compliment really that he just assumes we can keep up!

You are keeping up.

But we want episodes to be that long. 2 hours each, moving forward ⏩⏩

Great comment Jan. And I thought I was behind, lol. There are so many good shows on Badlands, I can only devote the appropriate time to a few, but those I like to catch live even if they are 2-3 hours. One of those is tonight's DPH.

Then there is this podcast, and I have a hard time listening when it is released late in the day for me, so I usually listen to the previous day's in the morning. This afternoon I had to take a nap for health reasons, and was asleep when it posted, lol.

Then there are the many Substacks I get, and I just cannot read them all like I want to, but the important ones each day I like to add my thoughts in the comments. Today Brian Cates posted one, and he was echoing my sentiments exactly about Trump, the indictments and the debates. And Seth Keshel posted one that was a different but brilliant take on the Republican pretenders.

I met Jon first so I always watched dph so I watch that on wed and sat and defected on Sun

story hour on tues And the daily on Fridays bc Chris on and all Chris podcasts and really that takes me all week to listen to those bec they're all 2-3 hrs. And yesterday I tried Kates new show and I HAD to add that to the list. When Chris takes a day off its like a vacation day but dont tell him I said that!! And then there's substack. I saw Brian's but I read Ryan Delarmes on Victoria Nuland which was first rate that I forwarded to a brother who asked me this weekend did I know about globalists. Ha. And the Daily Brief which I never miss ever bec Ashe's takes. Its like being back in college except learning something!! Oh and last but not least for levity and a daily belly laugh - Chris on Twitter. Ok. I think that's all.

Awesome. Yes, I wish I could still interact on Twitter, but then that would take up several hours a day, lol. I just noticed that on Badlands tonight, they are carrying the Republican debates, AND the Tucker/Trump interview, both live. Take your choice.

Brian Cates thinks the Tucker interview will garner far more viewers than the debates, and total views could near 200 million.

I won't waste my time on the "debates". They are all posers and pretenders, and hypocrites. Our country is under occupation of an authoritarian criminal regime, and they should be rallying around the one man who can save the Republic. Even save "democracy" from the Democrats, lol.

I can’t listen anymore in my car like I used to, and even with EarPods elsewhere. It keeps stopping, Rumble won’t load most of the time unless I’m at home! I don’t know if it will s my service, my phone or attacks on these platforms

That sucks. Sorry to hear that. I think it’s gotta be on your end though.

I think you are right, but I miss listening and with my work hours I don’t have the time 💔. I’m going to try and see if anyone can help me troubleshoot tomorrow, it’s been ever since I had a new update but I also switched to Patriot Mobile from Straight Talk too. Thanks for answering, I love listening to your episodes!! God bless!

Sarah have you tried listening via the email that comes to your phone right when Chris releases it? Right under the title is a navy blue button that says listen here. I’ve always found that to be fool proof. I think that’s a substack link (not sure) and it may be better than the rumble link.

No I never tried that, I will check it out, thanks!!❤️🙏🏻God bless you too!
