Greetings to Parish Orvins and Retrogrades. Happy Friday. Oh, the show we have for you today.

The Friday episode of Rules for Retrogrades, you are about to behold, is a discussion between

yours truly and Mr. Seamus Coglin, who is the creator of Freedom Tunes and co-host of Timcast with Tim Poole,

which is an excellent show. And he's about to start his own podcast, and he's just got a bunch of

things going on. And I'm sick of talking about him in the third person. So let me introduce

you in the second person, Mr. Seamus Coglin. Wait, who says I'm not sick of talking about me? Why are you throwing this on me? Because you're an egomaniac. I know, it's true. I am. Listen, I got to tell you, ladies gentlemen, get ready for your Friday penance because you're going to be hearing me on the podcast for the next hour and I am insufferable.

So it should be a good opportunity to get some time out of purgatory.

It's true. It's true. But you're less insufferable when I can call you by my affectionate nickname for you,

which is shame cog. That's what, then that's what they all tell me. They're like, I knew you

was shame cog before I knew about freedom tunes because that's what Tim Gordon calls you. And it's like, well, look, sometimes the nickname just sticks. Yeah, B-Rabbit. Yeah, that's what they call you on the mic when you turn Snick on a microphone. They go. Well, they call me S-Money, actually. It depends on the neighborhood. Yeah. You want to what they call me on the south side? What? Nothing. I don't go to the south side.

It's very dangerous. They call me S money. Actually, it depends on the neighborhood. Yeah. You want to what they call me on the south side?

What? Nothing. I don't go to the south side. It's very dangerous. They would just kill me if I went there. Yeah. No, I went. Yeah, yeah. I had a lot of extended family on the south side of Chicago and it's spent a good amount of time out there. And it's, you know, some of the areas are not so bad.

Some of the areas are a little bit tough, but they don't call me anything out there.

They ignore me. and it's spent a good amount of time out there. And it's, you know, some of the areas are not so bad.

Some of the areas are a little bit tough, but they don't call me anything out there.

They ignore me.

They don't know about freedom tunes. It's like I walked down the street. I'm like, I'm not getting recognized here. This is unbelievable. In your hometown. There's nothing else. I'm a total diva. I'm a total diva.

If I go out in public and people don't know who I am,

I'm having a bad day.

I go,

how dare you?

Don't you know I'm a total diva. If I go out in public and people don't know who I am, I'm having a bad day. I go, how dare you? Don't you know I'm freedom tunes? I'm freedom tunes. Do you know who I am? And they always say no. And I'm like, oh, all right. Okay. Yeah, they should recognize. They should recognize your hand stroke. Like if you go to the exactly, because I'm always walking around with my pad of paper sketching on things. And then if people come near me to try to speak with me, I'll like hiss at them or something. It's like you think you'd know that I was, you know, a YouTube cartoonist based on that.
