Hey there Chaos Army,

Hope you’re out there keeping the neighbors up with your music and keeping your nerdy and rocking selves busy and happy. Today’s one of my favorite days because its Random Thoughts Thursday and to be honest i think that’s something we all need right now. So make sure you’ve got your squirrels contained-ish and let me tell you what’s going on in the outside world.

If you’re not already onboard the Chaos Army bus, Load up and please for the love of everything unholy, don’t lick the windows:

REASON TO PARTY

If you ever doubted we were heading up the Random Thoughts Mountain today, we’re starting off with today is National Spinach Day.
Yeah, i know that slimy green stuff in a can that if you didn’t finish as a kid, you weren’t leaving the table and forget about dessert. I kid you not, my brother had a three DAY standoff with my dad about that.
We had a rule in our house growing up that you had to try everything food wise at least once and vegetables you might as well get used to. That being said, my brother was 6 or 7 at the time and thought he knew what was best for his body and my parents disagreed. I’ve never seen a kid come up with more creative ways to say he couldn’t eat something. Dad didn’t fall for it though. Spinach at every meal, spinach in his eggs, in his lunchbox, with the meatloaf and mashed potatoes for dinner until he finally finished what was put on his plate.
As a parent, we all know there was more that lesson than the spinach but i will say it left its impact. Nowadays you just make some spinach and artichoke dip and EVERYONE wants some. Tell us some of your favorite ways to eat spinach over on the discord, tell Cheffy we sent ya!

CHAOS QUESTION OF THE DAY

After a long day at work, are you lucky enough to have your own doggie or cat concert when you walk through the door? That’s what today’s Chaos Question is about.
What percentage of U.S. households have at least one pet?

The Answer: According to the APPA (American Pet Product Association), 66% of U.S. households have at least one pet.

**Asking for a friend but does having one goldfish or hamster magically reappearing still count as one?**

We know him as SPOCK but that was only one part of the legacy this man created. Besides his screen time as our most loved emotionally dettached person we saw on TV in that time, he was also creating music such as “The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins” in the 1960’s along with several other Sci-fi specific pieces.

Besides his time behind the mic and on camera, he spent plenty of time behind the camera. He’s directed the highest grossing film of 1987 with Three Men and a Baby, and as well he brought to life his vision in the Star Trek films: The Search for Spock, and The Voyage Home.

If that wasn’t enough for our intrepid master of the Vulcan neck pinch, Leonard was also a serious photographer, spoke fluent Yiddish, and published two autobiographies- one titled I Am Not Spock, and a second years later titled I Am Spock. Just goes to show that even hyper-geniuses can change their minds.

Now, the reason I asked yall to make sure you had your squirrels contained is because over in London Park, a grey squirrel was caught on video appearing to nibble on the mouthpiece of a discard vape device. Recently, similar incidents have been popping up all over the U.S. and the U.K. Is this gonna be the same as the save to sea turtles from straws from the early 2016?
A red squirrel expert at Bangor University confirmed that the flavored liquid is likely what attracts them, and then warned that nicotine exposure is harmful to wildlife. The squirrel in the video did not appear to be concerned about this.

Would you Rather?

This one is one that I think yall will enjoy.

Would you rather:
Your favorite band covers every song you love…
OR every band covers your favorite band?

See, the problem with working where I do is I work right alongside the King of Covers- Bobby D, so I think the likelihood of him NOT finding a cover of a band is far less likely than him just throwing another Dolly Crue at us. And we don’t even want to get into how many covers of Nickelback songs there are out there.

Let us know in the next show or over on discord, what would you rather?

**Hey kiddies, I’m gonna jump in the middle of this newsletter**

Time for a Rant (yeah… I warned the producer)

Alright… buckle up.

You saw me go off today — and nah, that wasn’t “for content.” That was real. That was the stuff I don’t say when the mic’s hot and the clock’s ticking.

So here it is, unfiltered:

TikTok’s algorithm? Absolute chaos… and not the fun kind.

One minute you’re building, grinding, showing up every day like a damn machine — next minute, it’s like the platform just decides you don’t exist. No warning. No reason. Just poof… buried.

And here’s the part that really lights the fire — we’re already in the middle of fighting to keep this studio alive. This isn’t just clips and views, this is real-world, keep-the-lights-on stuff. And while we’re doing that, the very app we’re showing up for every day is quietly choking the reach.

That doesn’t sit right with me. Not even a little.

So let me make this crystal clear:

If you rock with this show — if you’ve ever laughed, headbanged, or just needed a break from the noise — don’t put all your support in one place that takes half of it before it even reaches us.

Yeah, you heard that right. You send support through TikTok, we’re lucky to see about half after they take their cut.

That ain’t support. That’s a toll booth.

We’ve built this thing bigger than one app, and we’re not going down because of an algorithm having a mood swing.

You’ve got options. Real ones. Places where what you send actually lands where it’s supposed to — right here, keeping this chaos machine alive and loud.

So if you’re with us… be with us everywhere.

If a 16 hour surgery didn’t shut me up, what the hell makes them think AI will.

-Your King, Bobby D
