Once in a lifetime you'll come across a podcast that truly captures the history and cultural distinctions of the modern world the way a person can subjectively perceive it through our guided field of perspective. I have to admit, I had my doubts when I first learned of this podcast. After all, ASIC? Really? Will this podcast even be good? How ignorant was I to even have these thoughts. Little did I know I was about to indulge in what may have been the best hour of my life. The podcast started out strong. The opening words spoken in Bobby’s deep masculine voice entices the viewer with a captivating enigma. I was so taken aback from the unique viewpoints that I almost didn't even realize the underlying symbolism going on behind the scenes. It wasn't until my twenty sixth listening when I finally got my bearings together and was able to focus on the gripping and labyrinthine stratagem. The underlying analogy for 19th century distopianism and the evangelical deviation of typical orthodoxy was enlightening to say the least. Just when I thought ASIC could not get any better, the stories and discussions really began. I could not believe the complexity of the jokes as the main podcaster, Bobby, struggled with the everyday endeavors for a quintessential man such as the consistent up- hill altercation of the fight against misogyny and the fiscal synergy of opposing interplanetary dynamisms. There I was, gripping to my chair as I listened episode by episode by episode. I was so enticed by the podcast that I felt as if I was both practically and relatively apart of ASIC. This is a special kind of high that not even the strongest of drugs can give you. Was I part of the podcast? Am I inside the podcast right now? ASIC will leave you questioning existential nihilism and the objective skepticism of our perceived valuation of anthropological existence. At this point in the podcast, I was fully intoxicated by the avant-garde ideas and complex issues tackled. That's when the tales finally aggrandized and I was completely stupefied. You could have lived a thousand years of isolation trying to predict the stories that Bobby can tell and you would never even scratch the surface of what actually transpires beyond his eloquent words. I was so bewildered that I actually had to pause the podcast so that my existential crisis didn't dive too deep inside of myself. Even pausing the podcast was surreal. It's almost as if life paused with the podcast. I felt as though I had actually become a radio tangent quantum. The effects are still wearing off and I haven't been able to listen to ASIC in several days. I spent the following weeks afraid of what outside of my house actually looks like. Every single day and night I live in misery because I became fully aware that happiness is never achievable. I realized that human life has absolutely no meaning and that no matter what I ever do, I will never be Bobby. It is of complete unimportance and in years from now, no recollection of my existence will prevail, meaning that if I died years ago, died now, or die sometime in the future it will not matter whatsoever to anyone. But, then again, the fact that I'm living doesn't matter either so I might as well stick around for awhile, living in complete isolation, condemned to a life of traumatic memories, a completely corrupted sub-conscience, and a Bobby-less life. Oh, and that “zack” kid is alright I guess.
Always Saucy in Chicago literally ruined my life. 10/10. 👶🏿
