You are now listening to Softcore History.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to Softcore History.

I'm your host for the Weektime Register, joined as always by Rob Fox.

A very sober Rob Fox tonight,

sort of, not drinking today because I spent the entire weekend punishing my body.

Sleep deprived. Extremely sleep deprived. Punch drunk. Yes. I'm a slap happy is what we called

it as kids. That's where I'm at tonight.

So I'm feeling kind of great in a weird way.

That's good.

It's honestly, it's never the alcohol that gets me anymore.

It is the lack of sleep. I'm kind of in the same boat as you, not with tiredness.

But I've broken off the point of desperation that I'm just happy again. Like nothing matters. Yeah.

You're, I don't know, not black pilled necessarily, but you're just free. No, no, it's called clear

pill. Clear pill. Nothing, you know, I can't control it. Who cares? You know, things are going to happen. Things are not going to happen. I like that they just call St. Francis's Serenity Prayer clear pill now. Just call clear pill. Nothing matters and that's okay. Same thing. It's just like you can't control everything or even most of anything. So just fucking chill, asshole. Just have a good time. Do whatever you want.

Fuck it.

Who cares?

I think Marcus Raleigh said that too. It's just like people have figured this out over and like, so little is in my control. I'm just going to skip through life. Just let life take the wheel. Exactly. It is funny too, by the way, that one of the people who came to the conclusion, like, I pretty much can't control anything

was the most powerful man on earth.

Yeah.

At that time. Yeah. Like literally. Stoicism. Peak of the Roman Empire. He's the emperor. And he's like, man, I can't do shit. I'm not sure if that's the lesson I was supposed to take, but I did. Yeah. Yeah. But also, you know, 2019 kind of felt this way. Dark as year in my life. And the result of it, though, was this podcast. So what's next? So it makes you wonder. Something's coming. From the ashes, the Phoenix will rise. Yeah. I was going to sing the West Side Story song, Something's Coming, like, can't remember the lyrics or my own children's names right now. So, yeah, I mean, I'm not expecting you to really bring it tonight, but that's fine. I'm going to bring it fucking hard, dude, because I'm, I'm just ready to let rip. Well, you know what today is? What is today?

Oh, it's Pearl Harbor Day, isn't it?

It's the day that'll live in infamy.
