The Rat's Ass Podcast
My name is Mojo Elliott, an ex radio programming guru and morning personality from Los Angeles.
After leaving the radio business in 2022, I took a couple of years off and now I'm a podcasting pro and blogging ho.
The Rat's Ass Podcast gives me the opportunity to interact with fiends from all over the world looking to escape reality and engage in some loose behavior. It's not for the easily offended, the woke, or politically correct cultures.
The Rat's Ass Podcast is for normal free thinking individuals who don't give a rat's ass about what other people think.

The more outrageous and salacious the better and I'll respond to them on the podcast.

THE
FIRE FOR HIRE
It has been a crazy few days here in Los Angeles thanks for the fires. On Wednesday morning I was just about to do that days episode of the Rat's Ass Podcast when my power went out. Southern California Edison now has a policy of cutting off our electrical power due to high winds which could power lines to crash and start a fire. Fortunately, we were experiencing spring like weather so the nights were barrable without power. As I write this, helicopters are flying over the Elliott Estate with yet another water drop reminding my power could be shutoff again soon.
On Thursday, the Kenneth fire flared up which is about 5 miles away from my home so the night was spent watching for alerts that we needed to evacuate. Fortunately, all we got was a warning. In 2018, I almost lost my home to the Woolsey fire. Flames came within a half mile of my house and we were spared where others were not. I've been in my home for 25 years and I thought the Woolsey fire as a one off. Now with these new fires cropping up, I am now rethinking staying in my home and in California in general.
Every city and state in America has some sort of devastating weather pattern to contend with but the fires in California are due to piss poor government management. We pay the highest overall taxes in California, a lot of it meant for infrastructure that never gets completed because politicians waste the money on their pet projects and that line their personal pockets. I sincerely this causes people to stop being passive and get more involved in holding politicians accountable for their actions and thinking their only duty is to vote and trust politicians will do the right thing.
I will have a lot more to say about the LA Wild Fires in future episodes of the Rat's Ass Podcast.

THE TULSA KING IS A THING
Sylvester Stallone has been around along time dating back to his film debut in The Lords of Flatbush in 19745. Sly even dabbled in the porn industry as "The Italian Stallion" before getting his big break after he wrote and starred in "Rocky". From the 70's till now, Stallone has made some iconic films and some box office bombs too but nobody gets every film role correct.
The Tulsa King is the latest venture by the 78 year old Stallone, and if you haven't seen it on Paramount+, then you're missing one of the best running series on TV. Stallone knocks it out of the park as Dwight Manfredi, an ex con who used to be deeply involved with the mob. Upon his release from prison, the mob ordered him out of New York and banished him to Tulsa, Oklahoma where he manages to create his own kingdom.
Season one, sets up Manfredi's move to Tulsa and sees him start to evolve as a drug kingpin by strong arming his way into a small marijuana retail business and he quickly capitalizes on the lack of wit by the shit kickers in Tulsa. In season two, the series ramps up to where multiple drug lords fighting for the same territory start to battle each other and just when you thought Manfredi had conquered the drug market, it ends with one of the most surprising cliff hangers since "Who Killed J.R." in the 80's.
The Tulsa King starts slow during the character development phase, but if you hang with it for a few episodes, you won't regret watching a single minute of it.

IS ROCK DEAD?
Kiss bass master Gene Simmons recently said Rock music is dead. Is Simmons right? Or is he just old and stuck in his ways? Granted the record industry has changed due to technological advances and there are virtually no labels willing to sign bands to development deals anymore regardless of music genre. Personally, I don't believe Rock music is dead, it's just lost it's way.
It's not as simple as saying "Rock is Dead" and washing your hands of the genre because Kiss is retired. Gene is now relegated at the age of 75 to playing small venues in order to perform. I certainly understand why Gene has the perception he does, but maybe he needs to look at it from a different angle.
It used to be bands would put out an album and tour to support it to help drive record sales. It's always been a grind to become famous. When I programmed radio stations, I would receive demos from multiple bands every week hoping to get airplay. Maybe 1 out of 25 demos managed to get on the air. Out of the one's that did, maybe 1 out of those 25 would grab the listeners attention enough to make it a hit.
Radio airplay isn't important anymore. It's all about streaming and downloads today. Radio isn't dead, it's just changed. The same as the record industry has changed. Today, artists have to invest in themselves and it's a more difficult grind because bands have to be on the road constantly to make a living. Maybe this is what Gene is missing or maybe he doesn't believe Rock hands have the stones to go the distance, meaning they're not willing to do the work necessary to become famous.
There are several factors why the Rock genre isn't popular today but it can change almost overnight if the right band with the right sound, right look and right attitude presents itself. It almost happened a few years ago when a Led Zeppelin soundalike band called Greta Van Fleet, released a song called "Highway Tune" and captured mass interest. Unfortunately, the band fizzled out because the rest of their music failed to live up to "Highway Tune" and they were washed under the rug but it created a spark.
As far as I'm concerned the world is missing out on Wolfgang Van Halen. He's released two outstanding albums but at 33, he can't carry the torch by himself and time is running out. By the time the members of Van Halen hit 33, they already had five platinum records under their belt. The problem is Wolf can't get any consistent exposure where a huge mass audience can see him play. Unfortunately, everyone wants to compare him to his father, and while unfair, it's a reality he has to deal with and from what I've seen he handles it very well. I guarantee if Wolfgang was given the opportunity to play the Super Bowl halftime show, the interest in Rock music would be reignited. It will never happen because of the NFL's partnership with Jay-Z, who uses it to freeze out every music genre that doesn't grease his pockets.
The fact is the world of hip hop, pop and country have done a magnificent job of freezing the Rock genre out of the spotlight. Rock hasn't helped itself by being stuck in the paradigm of trying to live up to it's forefathers instead of carving out its own path. The long haired, filthy, tattooed up look and saying fuck every other word on stage appeals to a small fraction of the audience and is worn out. At some point Rock has to give up the old gas guzzler and go electric.
If Rock is to ever make a comeback, it's has to unburden itself from what has been and reinvent the genre. It starts with infecting the young with something they haven't experienced before. Do this and Rock will rise again.
THANK YOU FOOTBALL
I won't kid you, the Los Angeles fires have done a number on my psyche this week and if it wasn't for football, I might have lost my damn mind.
First, the Notre Dame win over Penn State was incredible followed by decent game between Ohio State and Texas. Now we have Ohio State playing Notre Dame for the national championship on Monday, January 20th. Something to look forward to. I could care less abou either of these teams, but I am looking forward to watching a very competitive game with Notre Dame winning it all. I cannot and will not ever root for Ohio State for personal reasons.
Then we have the NFL playoffs ready to roll for the entire month of January to determine who will play in the Super Bowl, which has become a big deal across America and if it were a perfect world, the Los Angeles Rams would play the Los Angeles Chargers, but you'd have a better chance of me playing for your tickets to go to the game then that happening.
My favorites to play in the Super Bowl are Kansas City going for a threepeat and the Detroit Lions trying to win their first Super Bowl ring and I like this Detroit team a lot but I've learned to never bet against Patrick Mahomes.
I'll be sharing my insights about all the games in future episodes of the Rat's Ass Podcast, I hope you can join me on Alexa, Spotify, Apple and most podcast apps.

A: That would be where I currently live, Los Angeles, California.
Claus B- Dresden, Germany
Q: I recently spent a month in New York and met a nice girl from New Hampshire. We spent some time together and I left with her phone number and email address, but she won't respond to me. Any suggestions on how to get her to respond?
A: She's ghosting you because probably not into long distance relationships. Accept you both had a good time and move on.
John Z- Rockford, Illinois
Q: Let's kick off the New Year with you telling us the funniest movie line of all time?

A: Listen to the "Happy Nude Year Raw Doggers" episode to get the full explanation.
James Q- Bristol, England
Q: My girl friend of 6 years and I broke up during the holidays because I didn't get her an engagement ring. What do you recommend I do?
A: After 6 years, pursue until she gives you a reason not to pursue but only if you intend on marrying her. If not, let her go.

John C- Woodland Hills, California
Q: I'm not feeling the trade the Lakers made sending D'Angelo Russell to Brooklyn, are you down with it?
A: Yes, because the trade worked for both teams. Russell returns to Brooklyn where he was previously an All Star, plus he'll be playing with his high school teammate Ben Simmons. The Lakers get better defensively with Dorian Finney-Smith and at point/shooting guard with Shake Milton, both of who were teammates of coach JJ Redick previously.
Cara T- Knoxville, Tennessee
Q: What do you think about girls who save themselves for marriage?
A: I think it's the greatest gift you can give a man. However, it's been my observation after women get a taste of the action, they tend to be unfaithful and their marriages suffer, so my feeling is to get it out of your system before you get married.
Gabriel C- Nice, France
Q: What would you like to see happen to Joe Biden, after he leaves office?
A: I sincerely hope Joke Biden goes back to Delaware never to be seen or heard from again. I want it to be like he was never here because he wasn't.
Pablo O- San Bernadino, California
Q: Do you think the Lakers will be able to make trade be a better backup center than Jaxson Hayes for Anthony Davis?
A: Utah isn't going anywhere and might be open to trading either Lauri Markkanen or Walker Kessler. I'd prefer Markkanen because he can put up 20ppg and you can build a team aroujnd him if the Lakers decide to part ways with Anthony Davis after LeBron James retires.
Grant P- Tuscaloosa, Alabama
Q: I read a lot of crazy stuff about California, and that governor of yours is a lying scum bag. Why don't you get the hell out of there?
A: I like it here Grant, I've worked all over the USA and there are good and bad parts about every state, but it's January 6th and it's 72 degrees. That's why I put up with the BS from our Slumlord Governor Gavin Newsom.
