Join Mike in the studio late on a Saturday night. Tonight, check your commie cynicism at the door and give yourself a little permission to be a proud Ameri-CAN on this 4th of July weekend. Go on, now — call a ceasefire on the whole “Us vs. Them” thing. Just watch yourself a little “Back Up, Terry” and I promise, it’ll all feel right as rain…

Now that we’re all feeling appropriately patriotic, join me as I check in on the newest branch of the armed services, the United States Space Force. Who are they and what are they doin’ with all those golf ball antennas that look like Spaceship Earth?

Anyway… Once the fireworks are over, I return to bein’ a mean old man, and try to get at what the cause of all this cynical ire in me — and maybe most of us — really is. Maybe it’s, like I’ve said before on the show, all this truth you learn that has no where to go if you don’t have kids. Existential indigestion? Or maybe it’s just the textbooks they gave us when we were kids ourselves — those that taught us that history was all in the past and everything these days is mostly a-O.K. Yeah, that’s probably it.

Later… After I play you some music, I talk about small town crime and the Dixie Mafia, and one shocking murder that went down in Biloxi, Miss. in the 1980s. It inspired Edward Humes’s excellent book “Mississippi Mud”, which itself maybe even kicked off that whole sick, wonderful obsession we all have with True Crime.

Also… Sad Juggalos, that great date movie “Operation Dumbo Drop”, and a toast to Michael Madsen, who passed this week at 67.

Join Mike in the studio late at night.

Tonight, to kick off 4th of July week, I bring to you some quotes from a barrage of great American patriots — George Washington, Justice Potter Stewart, Missile Command Champ and former Playgirl Centerfold Roy “Mr. Awesome” Schildt. From there, we get onto the idea of “underground” postal systems, which Thomas Pynchon talks about in his Crying of Lot 49, and how the Internet was kind of a natural successor to the Trystero system…until it got infiltrated by, among other sinister agents, your mom.
