BZ’s Berserk Bobcat Saloon Radio Show is back! Sort of. Watch the video!

The last true, official broadcast, audio only, of BZ’s Berserk Bobcat Saloon Radio Show was back on March 17th of 2022, where the studio had been relocated from the original downtown Sacramento, Kalifornia SHR Media Network locale, to my wife’s living room in Ghetto Central, South Sacramento. Go here to read and listen.

Since then, my move from Kalifornia to an actual Free State occurred, but I’d been busy with many other things, so the studio and its broadcasts had to take a back seat.

My saving grace was the decision to ask Allen Thomas, a friend of mine and a frequent guest on the show, to assist in the resurrection of the studio and the SHR Media Network in my new Free State. Thankfully, Allen Thomas said “yes.” So I flew him out on October 22nd in BZ’s personal Grumman Gulfstream G700 from Fresno, Kalifornia, 950 miles far northeast to BZ’s new studio.

Once we both examined the plight of SHR, and plotted her future, we determined that the SHR headquarters would best be served by the construction of an all new computer, one that would kick ass and not bother with any name-taking whatsoever.

Hence, the birthing of the Black Pearl.

We fretted, we worried, we enjoyed the cold weather, we watched snow, we took photographs, and Allen Thomas cobbled the Black Pearl together from an insane basket of parts to include:

• RTX 4080-016G video card
• RYZEN 9 7950X3D processor
• HX10001 Ultra Low Noise ATX Pwr Supply
• H1501 Elite Capellix XT Liquid CPU Cooler
• Corsair LL120 RGB 120mm Fan X 3
• ASUS X670E-PLUS TUF ATX Motherboard
• Samsung 980 PRO w/ Heatsink PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD 2TB
• Shit-ton of Vengeance RGB DDR5 DRAM
• Corsair 7000D Airflow full tower case
• Plus a few extra secret pieces of buttery hot electric goodness.

And, to top things off, there was gifted an early Christmas present from Mrs BZ, to include a Samsung 49″ Odyssey OLED G95SC Neo Quantum Processor Pro 0.03M S 240 hz curved smart gaming monitor.

Also, since my laptop, a 17″ Sony Vaio, is at least 15 years old, but has provided loyal service (upgraded it to a SSD about 9 years ago), I hesitate to help run the show again with it. I therefore purchased an Asus Q540V, a 15.6″ OLED Laptop – Intel Core i9-13900H – NVIDIA RTX3050 6GB with 16GB Memory – 1TB SSD, in black. That will play my audio cuts.

So, on the very last day of Allen Thomas’s visit, we were able to cobble together a show in which we attempted a few things, we discussed a few things, and I mostly screwed up on the StreamYard transitions and such.

And there you have it. One attempt. More to come. This is a veritable work in progress continued by an individual you wouldn’t trust to technologically walk your dog. Yet here we are.

Proud or humiliated? You be the judge.

BZ‘s Rumble channel is here.

But me? At 73, I’m just getting started. I have not yet begun to excoriate my government and the world.

Cheer up. Shit is gonna get a lot worse before it gets better.
