Hello everyone!

I just wanted to make a quick note to welcome everyone to a new venture we are trying and I think it’s safe to say our listeners enjoyed it last Thursday night when we did it. I admit, I wasn’t sure it was going to work, but we will see how this works this week.

Our official post is: “Catch our new weekly LIVE talk show , Bravo Sierra with Big John” Thursday at 7pm (Replay Sunday @ 7pm) on the TBJS Radio Network. Miss last week’s show? Become a #TBJSDrivwayListener partner of The Big John Show to listen on our website!” 

Again, it doesn’t hurt you to become a #TBJSDrivewayListeners partner of The Big John Show for only $5.00 each month. This new show is going to be included in our #TBJSDrivewayListeners tier. If you miss our live show and the replay, rest assured that it will be ready for you to listen to no later than Monday morning by clicking on the “Bravo Sierra” link on the menu bar above!

— This blog post is directed to the Executive Order from the Michigan Governor, in which you can read the full document by clicking here. —

 

“By April 13, 2020, refrain from the advertising or promotion of goods that are not groceries, medical supplies, or items that are necessary to maintain the safety, sanitation, and basic operation of residences.” – Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmire

 

    (BEEP!) You, Michigan! Beer, Bait, and Ammo are essential! Music, computers, TV’s, Roku’s, Cell Phones (Android), Alexa, they are all “Essential” to keep people entertained if they want to hear The Big John Show and the TBJS Radio Network during your prison / quarantine.

 

    Okay, all joking aside, you have NO idea how much of an economic impact this will have on broadcasters (TV & Radio), magazines, and newspapers. For a governor of a state to issue this Bravo-Sierra, it’s asinine and very short sighted. Do you really think people don’t need to know about special sales going on at the now struggling “mom and pop” businesses? That government loan plan doesn’t cover every small business. People are going to listen to the local radio stations, watch the local TV stations, and read those publishings for entertainment and pandemic updates.

 

    For those broadcasters and publishers to survive, they need advertising dollars (at least). IF they can’t advertise their local businesses, then there’s a strong chance that no one will know about them or the going-out-of-business sale they might be having to go through as a result of this COVID-19 situation. If the businesses don’t have people come shop at their locale, in which they pay to advertise so word can get out, they can’t generate money to pay the taxes, or arguably more important, their employees. That hurts a lot more from there.

   

    Again, bass-ackwards. I get what she is trying to do, but I can’t believe there are radio, tv, and newspapers who are willing to take this. This is an overreach of power. I would be the first one to flip the bird in the direction to the mansion in OKC if our governor decided to do this. My heart, thoughts, and prayers are with you my radio family.

 

    Thank you for your time,

     Big John

 

   So now that my home county in Southeast Oklahoma has a case of COVID-19, I just wanted to let everyone know that we are still going to be on-air doing a live show on the TBJS Radio Network. We aren’t going anywhere and neither should you. As I wrote on my personal facebook page, “Well snap, Le Flore county has a case of COVID-19… No, to my haters displeasure, it’s not me.”  

   Then I went on a hunt to see the Oklahoma proclamation and ran into not one, but three pages / sites that had the information about jobs / working. So I shared it on my social media pages and now on here. I hope they help the good folks in Oklahoma. You may want to check your local state or county / city for proclamations set forth my the governments to see if you can still go to work or not. Not everyone fits in the categories, but hopefully the latest stimulus packages that congress voted on will help ease the financial stress and burden laid out upon us all during this time.

    Meanwhile, if you are in Oklahoma, the question is: Are you an “Essential” worker? I am! Click on the links below to check the updated listed during this time.

So the Coronavirus pandemic got you down, and you don’t know what to do about it. Maybe you should use this time to critically think about how you can make your day-to-day routine still work. Using alternate methods, technology, and thinking, you just might be able to keep your businesses open although may have it at a different location. That falls under alternative method. Critically thinking gives you the opportunity to make it happen and explore options. I wish I owned a business because right now would be a great time to explore alternative methods, and still maintain the daily practices.

Yes, you can still keep your business going without it being illegal. Although it would be a great rush just to prove someone wrong and to make it work beyond anything they could comprehend. I am jealous of you business owners who are struggling because I would love to be there in your shoes and to see the smile on your faces when you realize yes, you can do it, and you can continue kicking ass on a daily basis like you were supposed to begin with. If this offends you, then good because maybe now you’ll get the juices flowing in your brain and you’ll figure out you, too, can make it work with the restrictions laid down upon your situation.

Most important thing you can do is not feed into the panic. Keep calm, and rest assured that if your clients see you still doing what you do best, that will help put their mind at ease too. You serve your customers and clients with more than just your goods and services, you serve them with the reminder that Humanity can and will overcome any obstacle placed before it. Keep respectful and do what’s right. America can survive and will overcome just like we’ve always done in the generations before us.

Trust me, you’ll be back kicking ass sooner than you think. That’s because it’s what you do, it’s in your heart, and by the good grace of God you’re an American!

Hey gang,

    We at The Big John Show want you to be safe and healthy during this time. There seems to be a lot of people panicking. As a result, there has been a run on Toilet Paper and Lysol sprays in stores across the United States. Not saying it’s a bad thing to stock up on something that can prevent a situation from going bad to worse, but….. what is toilet paper going to do for you to help secure your wellness? Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy having a clean hiney too, but technically, you could do better than hoarding toilet paper from your neighbors. Lysol helps disinfect, so I agree getting a couple cans of that. Our friends over at Pornaudiography have come up with some interesting  information about toilet paper. In 1973, U.S. consumers cleared store shelves of the rolls for a month based on little more than rumors, fears and a joke from then late night talk show host, Johnny Carson. Some interesting facts about Toilet Paper include:

  • The average person in the U.S. uses about 100 rolls of toilet paper each year. If most of it came from China, this could be a huge problem because supply chains from that country have been severely disrupted as a result of COVID-19.
  • The U.S. imports very little toilet paper – less than 10% in 2017. And most of that comes from Canada and Mexico.
  • The U.S. has been mass producing toilet paper since the late 1800s. And while other industries like shoe manufacturing have fled the country, toilet paper manufacturing has not. Today there are almost 150 U.S. companies making this product.

 

     So now, toilet paper doesn’t seem so much of a worry, does it? Personally, I would invest in food for my family. We’ve got a great deal on food if you want to prepare ahead: possible quarantine, lack of food at stores, urban riots, ect… Think ahead and prepare. Go to preparewithbigjohn.com today and save a butt-load of money (like that pun on toilet paper I made there?). Keep in mind that a healthy body starts with healthy choices and you can’t go wrong with food grown and packed in the U.S.

If the 1920’s was referred to the “Roaring 20’s”, will the 2020’s be referred to as hindsight? We could just legalize prostitution and make this the “Whoring 20’s”. Possible marketing slogans can be:

  • “Make Love Great Again”
  • “Make Love, Not Whore”
  • “As More Things Change, Whoring Remains The Same”
  • “Just ‘Do It’ ” (not to be confused with Nike’s “Just Do It”)
  • “One small step for man, one Whore-ific time for mankind”
  • “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask how you can please your country”

    Or we could just forget what I mentioned above and call it the “Boring 20’s” because if more of the same ol’ things happen this decade as they previous, then we will never see any real advancement of the human race, humanity will be stagnate with their thumbs up are back sides, and other intelligent life in the universe (known and unknown) will still pass us by like as if we were a dying bush on the side of the road to their more entertaining destination.

    Personally, I would love to see and experience environments that are more entertaining, events that could produce more positive, emotional perspectives than what we have been doing for the last decade. I think if we were to touch more lives out of actual love for humanity, we could forget the petty squabbles that politics, race baiters, and jealousy puts us under. I sincerely hope that this next decade brings us much closer to the technological future we all once dreamed of with peace, much better music in all genres (except bluegrass, that will always be the devils music and something has to suck so bad that everything else will be cool, huh huh…huh, uh….huh, huh), and a whole lot more kindness.

    Almost every day, I share the information (#TBJSPrePrep www.pornaudiography.com) from my online show that I’ve been reading. There are so much about medical findings and technology advancements over the past two years, we are living (or dwelling) in a fascinating time, but you do not hear about that in the mainstream news. I don’t get why more medical professionals don’t share the information when they obviously have more access to restricted databases. I get the whole “trade secrets” thing, but there are a lot of free reports open to the public. That is the type of news to bring hope for people with illnesses from Alzheimer’s to Cancer to people who are paraplegic. Just think, being able to control some modern technology with their mind, literally (yes, there is an implant). Basic functions such standing up and walking over to turn on the TV, radio, lights, or getting a drink of water while wearing an exo-suit. We are so close to giving many people a new lease on having an easier and better quality of life. I do not know about you, but I find it a fascinating time when I read reports like that. Universities and colleges from all over the world are doing these things and the FDA is looking into a LOT of them, some have been on a waiting list since the George W Bush administration.

    Other sciences (Quantum Physics, Space, Biological. ect…) are doing really fascinating things that could enhance all our lives. CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research) have been conducting some research that can give us answers to understanding space and time. Do not even get me started on that tangent. Yes, some research has had negative results, but the technology is there as a tool to help us learn more about who we are (or to those who believe, where we came from). I, myself, do not believe we are alone. Take that for what you will, but I would like to know more about who else is out there, be it another life from another galaxy, dimension, or multiverse. There are things literally in front of us that we cannot always see or feel, but we can mostly sense them. As technology gets beyond its milestone of today, I know we will be closer to realizing what is just beyond the reach of our fingertips. If radio was not so ingrained in my blood, I would like to think there would be a place for me on the edge of this. To me, it is all a matter of frequencies…

 

    Honestly, I think we just need to relax, take a deep breath, and let us have some fun this decade. It has been two millennia since the last time the 2020’s were here (2020 B.C.) and we may be more technologically advanced, but we do not have to act as if we are still cave people. I am sure the ratings would be interesting, but life is not about ratings. I know, being a radio person, that comment is blasphemy. What really matters is connecting with people. Not stupid flash-in-the-pan events that are meaningless, but real connection and open-minded conversation without bias. It is too sad that most media outlets use opinion as gospel without historical facts to back them up. Today, it seems that so many people are easily offended because they are not secure in what they truly believe. They do not know what to believe, so they hop on a bandwagon just to be accepted or included, and not really understanding why it is they are doing what they do.

 

   I encourage you to step outside your petty jibber-jabber words and live your life with a purpose, dignity, and honor. Do not become that person who tells you it cannot be done. Be the person who gets it done. Right or wrong, no one knows until you are finished. All you can do is improve from there. If my advice had any meaning to anyone, I would strongly suggest keeping your heart in the right place, keep your head between the shoulders, use curiosity to steer your ship into uncharted territory, and be prepared to answer many questions for those who follow your footsteps before they too branch off into their great unknown. Let’s make this next decade something greater…

 

Merry Christmas To You!!

No matter what mood you are in, there is a picture to fit your mood.

Nice

We, at The Big John Show, want to wish you a very Merry and Blessed Christmas filled with love, laughter, and joy that is pure as the driven snow. 

 

Naughty

If you have been naughty (and not in the good way), we hope you take the next week before New Years and figure a way to embrace all the blessings in your life and spread the love so that those who don’t have your gifts will be able to experience your goodness in the new year that is about to start.
