Make Shame Great Again
Episode 168
ChatGPT 5.0 says: “When the Charlie Kirk shooting breaks, Darren and Gene dive in live with a no-fluff timeline, media myth-busting, and why “wait for the motive” clashes with a social feed that never sleeps, unpacking how platforms, press conferences, and hot takes shape public mood in real time. From security blind spots that a $500 drone could fix to why “prone at 150–200 yards” matters more than conspiracies, the guys dissect the shot, the coverage, and the cultural fallout—free speech, “hate speech,” SSRIs, campus radicalization, and where politics meets personal responsibility. Along the way they torch lazy narratives (yes, even the “celebratory gunfire” one), push back on riot double-standards, and ask whether de-escalation is still possible—or if the incentive engine only rewards outrage now.
It’s not all doomscrolling: you’ll also get classic Unrelenting detours—from Glenn Beck chalkboards to Love Boat season counts, from Erin Gray spandex lore to mil-sim realism and why gamers spotted a rooftop runner faster than security did—because culture explains the news as much as the news explains culture. If there’s an episode that captures the week’s shock, the stakes for speech and safety, and the weird comfort of laughing while parsing disaster, this is the one to queue up right now.”
Unrelenting: where discipline means no mercy, no bullshit, and no excuses.
