If you guys want your 2 cents heard on the podcast/videos:
​
Call 
‪(336) 525-1330 and leave a message about your thoughts on the red flag laws.

​Here are the basic rules, please read them before calling:

• The big one... no cursing, no slurs, etc. Keep your statement clean. PBS clean. The podcast is listed as a clean podcast, so if any of those things are done in your statement, I cannot guarantee your statement will be used. 
• If you call and leave a message, you are consenting to having your voice/statement used in the podcast and videos. 
• This is an internet phone number. I will not answer the phone. It's just you and my voicemail. 
• You are limited to 3 minutes. The voicemail will cut you off. 
• Self identification is up to you. NO last names or other personal information. First names, nick names, screen names only. If you want to be anonymous, that is also fine. 

As a lot of you know, I do videos and a podcast. Well, I had an idea and I want to see if it will work out. 

I want to do a video/podcast series on issues that revolves around the opinion of everyone but me. What it will be is this: I'll bring up a topic of some kind. You guys can call my phone number and leave a message with your opinion. If you call and leave a message you do so with the understanding that it will be used in the podcast and videos. You can leave your name or remain anonymous, that's completely up to you. You MUST be willing to leave a voicemail message or email me a video response with your opinion on the topic, I will not read comments for this series.

Here's the thing... I want varied opinions. I don't want a series full of everyone agreeing. There will be no discussion between callers, but I want to be able to display - without commentary - varied opinions on a topic. I want to challenge listeners/viewers to think about opposing view points.

If you folks think this sounds like a decent idea, I'm going to need your help. Obviously I'm going to need you to call. But I'm also going to need you to get other people to call, too. Your friends and family, people you know online, etc. The podcast isn't popular enough for this to work with only the listeners.

​So, what do you think? I have a Google Voice number set up, but you can also do it right through Discord, too. Or, if you want your face in a video, you can send me a video message, and it can be done through social media. Thoughts?

OK, I want to ask you guys a serious question about the page here (as well as all associated stuff). It was suggested by a few people that I change the name of the podcast/video channels/website/etc. because it turns people off.

I started all this as a website years ago, and Whiskey Tango Foxtrot (or just Whiskey Tango if you follow the videos and podcast) and Uncle Sam there have been following me around for a long damn time. What are your thoughts about both? I know a lot of folks don't like Uncle Sam flipping them off. But there was a method to my madness at the time with both the name of the page and Uncle Sam. However, this has grown a lot since that time and I never thought about changing the name or anything like that until now.

​But what are your thoughts? Is the whole thing a turn off? Do you like it? Should we change it? Let me know what you think.

​Please keep in mind, we're not just a website or social media, etc. Here's more information and the background and reasoning, etc. 

I screwed up. Mom's 70th birthday was yesterday and we took her and some friends out to party. I got home very, very late and was so exhausted I couldn't see straight. Guess what didn't get done! There's no podcast. SO! Let's go live at 10PM Eastern tonight instead. We'll just do the podcast live. The audio from the live feed will become the podcast later.
