Surviving The News: The Podcast: Recent Episodes
Phil Elmore
A sometimes, occasionally weekly podcast in which bestselling author, journalist, editor, voice actor, and technical writer Phil Elmore has opinions... and tells you them. Surviving the News (News and Commentary) is a production of Phil Elmore Dot Com.
In this final episode, we go over some of the big stories of 2023, a dumpster fire of a year that few of us will miss.
This is audio from the STN Nightly News Roundup (STNNNR), streamed on the @SurvivingTheNews YouTube channel. We broadcast live (and sometimes as prerecorded video premiers) on the channel every Monday through Friday from 8pm to 9pm Eastern, covering Internet drama, current events, entertainment, the #dabbleverse, and other topics. Stuttering John Melendez spent the year getting beclowned, mocked, owned, and otherwise humiliated by Shuli from the Shuli Network, Karl from WATP, and several others. Stuttering John lost to everyone he came up against, really, because Stuttering John isn't good at things. We take a look back at Stuttering John's 2023 and then speculate about the year to come.

We cover all this and more in this episode of Surviving the News.

Also, a woman tries to Mountain Dew her way out of a murder; a woman gave her husband a threesome for his birthday (ahd they'll be divorced soon); people are identifying as minotaurs; and a guy got chopped in half after jumping off a building in New York City.

In this special podcast, Phil Elmore explains to the dumb-dumbs in the audience what the rest of us already know: socialism sucks. It's the sort of socio-economic control scheme that appeals to children, adults whose conception of the world is childlike, and murderous dictators.

Adam22, Hunter Avallone, and Jack Murphy all have one thing in common: They've all destroyed their careers and/or their relationships by falling for weak ideologies that have at their core the siren song of, "It's okay to destroy your relationships by sharing your partner," either virtually through OnlyFans or literally in bedrooms and hotel rooms. #PhilElmore talks masculinity and modern society in this special report from Surviving the News.

Stuttering John Melendez was once famous for his involvement in the Howard Stern Show. It's amazing what the passing of 30 years has done to pretty much everyone involved, but an entire podcasxt industry has evolved that is devoted to making fun of Stuttering John. Recently, Mr. Melendez interviewed with some of the lesser lights in this constellation of personalities... and proved that every single minute of people ridiculing him is entirely justified. Phil Elmore breaks down exactly what the heck is going on in this largely production-free special report.

Everything is Horrible, But Okay - Surviving the News, 11 May 2023Phil Elmore looks at the FDA's new rules for blood donation, which, honestly, make it more likely you'll share blood with someone living a high-risk lifestyle. Also, various progressives like to fantasize about how they'd assault you for disagreeing, which is something they have in common with Democrat politicians. Meanwhile, teenagers in our schools have become feral monsters like the murderous teens in Fahrenheit 451. The two-tiered justice system in America has proven yet again that laws are for little people and Republicans, but rarely for Democrats. People keep willingly having sex with Robert Deniro, which seems odd; a woman who wrote a book about dealing with her husband's death has now been charged with his murder.

And Steven, for his part, should feel bad about what he's done (but he won't).If you enjoy this commentary, please subscribe to Surviving the News on YouTube or wherever you get your audio podcasts (iTunes, Spotify, Amazon Music, etc.).https://linktr.ee/philelmore

The folks at the Daily Wire have created a spite-chocolate because Hershey's has gone woke; Disney continues to butcher classics by race- and gender-swapping them; AI "journalism" has done CNET no favors. Meanwhile, there's a glut of "news" articles that aren't really news, 30 million bucks of Funko Pops are getting dumped in a landfill, popular culture continues to hate on white people and Christians, and NASA announces we have a viable solution to the threat of asteroids hurtling toward us (something 8-year-old me was very worried about). Oh, and the "Day of Hate" scheduled for last Saturday was canceled for lack of interest, apparently. Phil Elmore tackles all this and much more in this episode of Surviving the News.https://linktr.ee/philelmore
Phil Elmore covers a disturbing number of news articles about AI chat bots saying disturbing things; have science fiction moves taught us nothing?

A Japanese town has put out a terrifying wolf robot to keep away wild bears, and I for one would like to signal my willingness to cooperate with our new terrifying wolf robot masters. Also, don't carry a gun near an MRI because you'll probably get killed. Tiny computers have helped us track what happened to several species of now-extinct snails, but the problem is really using science-fiction horror movie solutions for our problems. Some guy on LinkedIn wrote an article and some other person got upset about it. Leo DiCaprio is living his best life; shoplifters are being tracked with advanced software at Wal-Mart; a rancher was arrested for killing a trespassing illegal alien; AI news is as off-putting and weird as you'd expect. Oh, and leftists keep shooting Republican politicians in New Jersey, but the media doesn't care (predictably). Phil Elmore covers all this and much, much more in this episode of Surviving the News.https://linktr.ee/philelmore
Slap fighting is stupid and you shouldn't do it. Also, there's a tiny piece of drywall on my face from where I was installing anchors using my new power-screwdriver; watch as I eventually brush it off without ever realizing it was there. AI video and audio simulation continues to show us that we can't trust what we see and hear; you can go to aiwritingsucks.com if you want to read my thoughts on AI writing and art. A Twich streamer humiliates himself by donning sackcloth and ashes after getting caught looking at AI-generated naughty videos; a woman in German found a lookalike and murdered the beauty blogger in order to fake her own death; words mean things; mutilating your body is a bad idea.

Phil Elmore explains the Steven Crowder vs. Daily Wire kerfuffle and goes on to explain why Crowder is wrong -- and Louder with Crowder might not be worth supporting in whatever form it takes next.https://linktr.ee/philelmore
Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast play themselves by dramatically overreaching. Officer Maegan Hall becomes her department's team-building exercise. Biden stole classified documents, but nobody will care because he's a Democrat. An ancient Mayan city has been uncovered by LIDAR. Lisa Marie Presley has died suddenly; so has Evel Knievel's son. Shakira is mad that her ex downgraded "from a Rolex to a Casio." A while bunch of adult stars booked a Travelodge in Newcastle, and now the chain is mad at them. Meanwhile, CNET is publishing crappy AI articles, Justin Roiland is facing felony charges that might endanger Rick and Morty, I don't want to have to buy a subscription to make my power drills work, and the media never tire of telling guys their junk is too small. All this and more are covered by me, Phil Elmore, in this episode of Surviving the News.https://linktr.ee/philelmore

Also, Scientology's leader is hiding from process servers, a murderer in Idaho has been apprehended, and parents keep making their 7- and 8-year-olds walk miles at a time by themselves. Meanwhile, Drudge went leftist a long time ago (and still nobody knows why), Andrew Tate has either been arrested or he hasn't (or he's been detained or he hasn't), but Greta Thunburg and a pizza box aren't actually responsibile... and our Transportation Secretary has been doing a terrible job, meaning nothing has changed. Phil talks about all this and more in this episode of Surviving the News.https://linktr.ee/philelmore

Does Dwayne Formerly The Rock Johnson use steroids? Did he ever? Joe Rogan has urged him to come clean. Anne Heche died very badly, it turns out, but at least she wasn't on drugs...?

Biden wants to limit gun owners to only "8 rounds in a round." Elon Musk has finally started firing people at Twitter, which is good.

Hilariously, Democrats have begun talking about Republicans "taking our freedoms away," when in reality, there is no freedom that Democrats support (at least not in the Bill of Rights). Phil Elmore explains in this special report.
Is Lizzo oppressed... or is she just unhappy with herself, and no amount of money can fix that? Rush Limbaugh used to talk about "Gorbasms," and honestly, did anyone think Mikhail Gorbachev was still alive (until he wasn't)?

What did people think Russia would do when the rest of the world tried to "cancel" them over the war? Phil Elmore answers all these questions and more in this week's episode of Surviving the News.

Meanwhile, DHS has terminated its unconstitutional and paused "Ministry of Truth," but nothing will change. Did that kid REALLY get a girlfriend when she fell asleep on his shoulder on the bus?
