SPONSORS: https://mengotomars.com | 50% off for life + Free Shipping + 3 Free Gifts Welcome back to Vile And Horrendous. I'm in a mood this week, and I can't tell you why. What I can tell you is that quitting smoking is awful and I resent the entire experience. I kick things off with a retraction: two episodes ago I declared Hollywood dead and movie theaters were nothing but a con job. Then I went and saw Masters of the Universe and had a genuinely good time. Hat's off where it's due. But, I also have a protraction, see the movie cost $200 million and has made $60 million. Meanwhile Obsession had a $750,000 budget and made $229 million. Hollywood, do the math and learn the right lesson! From there we debut a brand new segment called We Salute You, where for once I'm building something up instead of tearing it down. Today's subject: evil. All the best music, movies, food, and sports moments come from evil, and I will die on that hill. Eazy-E, Gordon Ramsay, Ray Kroc, and the Eagles Super Bowl comeback all make the case. Flight Log returns with three headlines that together tell one very depressing story about where air travel is headed. Spoiler: The fix is already in and we might already be fucked.Then we move on to some headlines, a university president in Taiwan who told his graduates to end themselves if they couldn't cut it, a woman who banned herself from casinos for life and then won a jackpot, and a TV star being haunted online by a high school photo that I'm calling a nothing burger. And we close with a Pig Talk story from a guy named Moose, who spent the early years of his marriage doing things at bars that I cannot defend. His closing thought on the matter will make your jaw drop. Vile & Horrendous Ep. 07 Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:02:49 - Retractions00:06:48…
