l Am Pitts Podcast

Imagine the stress and anxiety you would have if you went to work and had to wear a camera your entire shift for the sole purpose of being judged by your coworkers, your management, media, and the world. Think about the pressure to be and do everything perfect knowing that if you have a bad day and mess up, EVERYONE gets to watch your worse day and you get to be judged and criticized by millions of people. Even more, think of the f...

When you are in combat fighting side-by-side with your brothers, you are seeing them in their highest form and at their absolute best. The dedication to the mission, their attention to detail and their unwavering discipline is inspiring. One of the hardest things I've ever had to witness was those same brothers, the same dedicated soldiers, spiraling out of control, losing their discipline, focus and drive to an addiction that turn...

After an extended leave of absence, I try to knock the dust off the mic and get back into the swing of things with a lot to discuss. If you watch the news at all, you probably seen me on the news a few times after dealing with a Jefferson County Public School bus incident. Due to charges pending and a possible lawsuit, I can't say much but we can read some of the Facebook comments! Americans are torn between supporting Israel or Pa...

I am also joined on this episode by friends, who are also returning guest, Stew and Johanny. Stew's wife Kerri also joins us as we discuss Travis...

Honor and shame. America has become a country where we bestow honor to those who do not deserve it and we refuse to shame those who deserve to be shamed. Being bestowed honor comes with a lot of responsibility, but that seems to be a foreign concept to US government officials. We have elected officials who are 80 and 90 years old making decisions for the country, a senator who has had two strokes in front of us, and a senator who r...

On this episode I discuss the new Little Mermaid after having watched it with my family. The first thing I noticed about the movie was that there was too much diversity and it didn't make sense. Are you thinking about sending a d!ck pic to a person you met on a dating app? Just realize that you might get blackmailed with your own d!ck pick as there has been an up-tic in people being extorted by their bad decisions. The bar for ente...

July has been a crazy month filed with root canals, traveling and crazy people! Despite being a few weeks behind on the podcast, I think it's important that I talk about some recent topics such as the lady on the plane who claims a person was not real, the Carlee Russell incident, The US Soldier who defected to North Korea. I know we are not suppose to talk about 2020, but considering Jason Alden's new song and video, I think it's ...

This week I am joined in studio by Jason Kiefer who is 1/3 of the One More And I'm Outta Here Podcast.

After an extended hiatus and much needed break, I am back for episode 96!

You tell we are entering the political voting season because of the pander...
