Teaser: Episode 85 "Andronikus and the Emasculation of America"

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1905224/fan_mail/new] The Byzantine emperor Andronikos I Komnenos (reigned 1183–1185) and the island of Chios. According to later Byzantine and post-Byzantine sources: * The island of Chios was suspected of disloyalty or resistance to imperial authority. * As collective punishment, Andronikos I allegedly ordered the mass castration of the island’s male population, particularly young boys. * The goal was to permanently cripple the island’s ability to rebel, both militarily and demographically. This is exactly what the "elites" are trying to do to the USA: emasculate our boys and then we'll be right for the pickings...  Drugs, gambling, sex/porn addiction, video games, TikTok, social media in general are all being used to undermine our society through the stories being told to our young... UNLESS we start telling a different kind of story to our children.  Chivalry is NOT dead, It isn't being taught. Let me know what you think.  As always, God bless and Pacho's Chachos for life! Enjoy!

The Four Olds of America

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1905224/fan_mail/new] When China became a communist country, they had to first attack "the four olds" : ideas, culture, customs, habits. I see the same things under attack in our country. This episode goes through it all. Let me know what you think! God bless.

"the soldier, his wife, and the bum" by Charles Bukowski (read by Pasho)

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1905224/fan_mail/new] I really enjoy Bukowski: I hope you do too. Enjoy! "the soldier, his wife, and the bum" I was a bum in San Francisco but once managed to go to a symphony concert along with the well-dressed people and the music was good but something about the audience was not and something about the orchestra and the conductor was not, although the building was fine and the acoustics perfect I preferred to listen to the music alone on my radio and afterwards I did go back to my room and I turned on the radio but then there was a pounding on the wall: “SHUT THAT GOD-DAMNED THING OFF!”   there was a soldier in the next room living with his wife and he would soon be going over there to protect me from Hitler so I snapped the radio off and then heard his wife say, “you shouldn’t have done that.” and the soldier said, “FUCK THAT GUY!” which I thought was a very nice thing for him to tell his wife to do. of course, she never did.   anyhow, I never went to another live concert and that night I listened to the radio very quietly, my ear pressed to the speaker.   war has its price and peace never lasts and millions of young men everywhere would die and as I listened to classical music I heard them making love, desperately and mournfully, through Shostakovich, Brahms, Mozart, through crescendo and climax, and through the shared wall of our darkness. -Charles Bukowski Support the show [http://www.patreon.com/thepashoperspective] Thank you for all of your support.

"layover" by Charles Bukowski (read by Pasho)

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1905224/fan_mail/new] Here is another poem for your collection: "layover"  Making love in the sun, in the morning sun in a hotel room above the alley where poor men poke for bottles; making love in the sun making love by a carpet redder than our blood, making love while the boys sell headlines and Cadillacs, making love by a photograph of Paris and an open pack of Chesterfields, making love while other men- poor folks- work. That moment- to this. . . may be years in the way they measure, but it's only one sentence back in my mind- there are so many days when living stops and pulls up and sits and waits like a train on the rails. I pass the hotel at 8 and at 5; there are cats in the alleys and bottles and bums, and I look up at the window and think, I no longer know where you are, and I walk on and wonder where the living goes when it stops. -Charles Bukowski Support the show [http://www.patreon.com/thepashoperspective] Thank you for all of your support.
