I HAD to say it

I HAD to say it

By Aaron

This is a podcast about this, that and the other. My takes on life, society, politics, and whatever else happens to cross my mind. There will be interviews about everything from movies to restaurants, dinner to drinks, games to sports.....this is starting to sound like a date, isn't it? If you want to be a guest or recommend one let me know. If there is something you want us to talk about just send a message. It's all fair game and it HAS to be said.

So this is the conversation between myself and John Jamingo, the other half of the Boomer Bunker Podcast. There will be another one coming soonish where John and I are going to go off the rails. This one was more two guys getting to know each other a little better.

George & Aaron chop it up

George & Aaron chop it up

In this episode I sat down with George Fontes, host of the World Ablaze podcast. George is a solid guy with a great show. He's had some real interesting guests on and puts out good solo episodes too. You should really check out his program.

Tariff Talk

Tariff Talk

As is the new trend, the title has practically nothing to do with the episode, and the description doesn't tell you anything useful. Go to horribledesigns.com and buy some merch. Come back friday for the episode with George.

The Beatings will continue until Morale Improves

The Beatings will continue until Morale Improves

Yeah, still have no idea what to put here. Go to horribledesigns.com and buy some stuff. That's it that's the description. Also I rant about stuff this episode. If you want to know what you are gonna have to listen.

The Tesla Fires

The Tesla Fires

Someday I'll start actually writing out detailed episode descriptions to drive SEO and get people listening to this show. But today is not that day. You're here for the ranty ranty, and I doubt anyone is even reading this.

St Paddy's Day Massacre

St Paddy's Day Massacre

More spoiled behavior from people who are technically grown, and should know better. As always I have thoughts.

Tribalism for Dummies

Tribalism for Dummies

While I have a lot of thoughts on what is wrong with the world in general, and the US in particular, tribalism might be the single worst thing humans have going against them right now.

Aaron and the Dutchess

Aaron and the Dutchess

Did a live stream and was joined by Dutchess from the Boomer Bunker podcast. We had a lovely chat, and now you can listen to it if you missed the stream.

Two men and an angry dwarf go into the Oval Office

Two men and an angry dwarf go into the Oval Office

Another week, more corruption, more posturing, more leftist nonsense, and interns eat Zelensky's lunch. Literally.

Mar 04, 202531:22
Kash me outside

Kash me outside

Kash got confirmed. That came up, but only briefly. I'm just enjoying the play on words. Other than that more of the usual ranty ranty.

Do the things.

The DOGE Effect & Morons Are MAD

The DOGE Effect & Morons Are MAD

FIRST THING: I did a guest spot this past week on a show called World Ablaze with George Fontes. It was great, it's a solid show and you should go check it out.

worldablazepodcast.com/63-aaron-deshotel-host-of-i-had-to-say-it/

Secondly More corruption uncovered, and the smooth brains are melting down all over the place. As always I have thoughts.

Feb 18, 202524:49
DOGE and the corruption files

DOGE and the corruption files

Another interesting week. More leftist meltdowns, and questionable attempts to stop the momentum coming from Trump. But there is more to it, kind of underlying, at least I think there is. And as always, I have thoughts.

Feb 11, 202545:37
Deportations, Plane Crashes, and Morons

Deportations, Plane Crashes, and Morons

It's been another doozy of a week. Short episode this time though, just ran out of gas. Being this annoyed takes a lot out of me.

Feb 04, 202529:05
It's only the first week

It's only the first week

It's only the first week of the Trump second term, and did he hit the ground running. We got pardons, two genders, no more DEI, disaster relief, and deportations. And as always I have thoughts.

Jan 28, 202548:31
Inauguration Day

Inauguration Day

Title pretty much says it all. It has been one for the record books, and as always I have thoughts.

T Minus 6 Days

T Minus 6 Days

Well, we're two weeks into 2025 and things have not calmed down in the slightest. California is on fire, the world is going nuts, and somehow it's all the cheeto's fault. As always I have thoughts.

Happy New Year! Now what?

Happy New Year! Now what?

Welcome to 2025, we're less than a week in and I'm ready for 2026 already. But it doesn't work that way. And as always I have thoughts.

The final episode of 2024

The final episode of 2024

For the last episode of the year I decided to do something different. I did a live stream and brought some friends along for the ride. It was supposed to be a recap of 2024, but was really more of a BS session between friends. There will probably be a more standard ranty episode later this week. Guests include Mike & Tabby of the Grays Taproom, The Undercover Brother from the Bromigos Podcast Matty Mysh, John and the Dutchess from the Boomer Bunker podcast, and Jason of the Weather'd View and HorribleDesigns.com

Budget Bait & Switch

Budget Bait & Switch

Welp, the year is almost over. It's holiday season, and you know what that means? That's right, congress is going to try and ram through a budget so full of pork that it will squeal if you hit it.

As always, I have thoughts.

Dec 24, 202445:58
Just a few thoughts

Just a few thoughts

The title pretty much sums it up. Just a few thoughts.

The Penny Verdict

The Penny Verdict

In a just world this would never have even been a case. The verdict is in, the reactions have started, and as always I have thoughts.

it's a short one. I'm full of tryptophan and content.

The Meltdowns WILL continue until Morale Improves

The Meltdowns WILL continue until Morale Improves

There is an entire generation of grown ass children throwing tantrums right now. As always, I have thoughts.

Back into the swing of it

Back into the swing of it

OK so I am back from my little hiatus. The world is still spinning, the left is melting down about as much as I though, Trump is appointing people that are pissing off all the right individuals, and as alway I have thoughts.

Nothing left but to count

Nothing left but to count

Ok this is it. We are at the finish line. Also don't forget, I'm taking a break after this. Next episode on 11/19

Men for Kamaltow use the cuck chair

Men for Kamaltow use the cuck chair

The Democrats don't understand what a man is. I know that is shocking after the left spent decades making masculinity a bad thing, and blaming all the world's ills on men, but it's biting them in the rear now, and they don't know how to recover from it. And I, for one, love it. Go buy some merch.

The Mountain wins Again

The Mountain wins Again

Ok, so it only tangentially has anything to do with the episode, but I'll send something cool to the first person who gets the reference of the title for this episode. That being said, another week, another reason to get frustrated with the political machine. As usual, I have thoughts. As per usual, go to the website, check out the friends of the show, get some stuff from horrible designs. Just be cool. All we got is each other.

Oct 08, 202436:50
I'm Done

I'm Done

There has been so much going on lately, and while I am trying to keep some perspective, I think I might have been pushed a bit too far. I've reached a crossroads, the die is cast, and I'm done.

The Diddy Effect

The Diddy Effect

More political nonsense, more rhetoric and Puffy is going to big boy jail. Just to get out ahead of it, Diddy didn't kill himself.

Sep 24, 202422:34
And they tried again

And they tried again

So the Byethen and Kamaltow administration are going to sleepwalk us into WWIII, so there has to be something to get people to stop talking about it. Cue the next attempt to take out the orange bastard.

A Short, incoherent, rambling episode

A Short, incoherent, rambling episode

The title pretty much sums it up.

Four years, where did the time go?

Four years, where did the time go?

So the show has been going for four years. I talk about that a bit then go off on the usual rants. Politicians are still worthless, censorship is still on the table, the Zuck apologized, and there is an angry elf.

Sep 03, 202432:35
The DNC wraps, the seal claps

The DNC wraps, the seal claps

The DNC wrapped up. Nothing really unexpected happened, and I have thoughts.
Aug 27, 202443:41
The DNC, the CPD & Stuff

The DNC, the CPD & Stuff

So it's going to be an interesting week. I'm close enough to Chicago that I have some concerns. And as always I have thoughts.

Aug 20, 202446:50
The British are coming

The British are coming

Yeah, so this might be the one that gets me extradited to the UK, because they are totally gonna start doing that. We've been warned.

Aug 13, 202449:35
Technical Difficulties

Technical Difficulties

Well, after a week where I couldn't get an episode out due to my computer crashing, I'm back with another long winded rant. Strap in and take a listen.

Aug 06, 202458:19
THIS is what a coup looks like

THIS is what a coup looks like

Biden stepped down from the race. Kameltoe is the presumptive nominee now. This all happened in about thirty one hours, meaning the plans were there before any of us heard about it. As always I have thoughts.
