Donovan Adkisson

In the first episode of the re-vamped podcast, DDP, I specifically talk about the Kyle Rittenhouse trial and how I think the judge needs to be removed from the bench, and how Kyle himself is definitely guilty of stupidity right along with murder…or at the very least, a lesser charge like manslaughter. He knew exactly… Continue reading We All Bitch, But We Never Change

In this episode, I open up about attempting another sober journey, one where my wife is going to be my buddy. The last couple of years have been tough on everyone and alcohol use has sky-rocketed. Even for long term recovering alcoholics, it hasn’t been easy. I’m not here to provide any advice since I […]

Donovan talks about the recent announcement by Dr. Seuss Enterprises for their plan to stop publication of six Dr. Seuss books due to hurtful and potentially racist imagery.

Don talks about the death of Rush Limbaugh, how he was a talented entertainer, but he wasn’t a great man as many would have you believe. Rush was ultimately responsible for someone like Donald Trump getting elected in 2016. Rush, as with Trump, divided the country. So, he was talented, but he wasn’t a great… […]

In the maiden episode of the Don Talk live show, Don talks about Marjorie Taylor Greene, what QAnon really is (and how many people he speculates really doesn’t know what it is they are supporting), MTG getting removed from her committee assignments (was it the right thing to do?), and Big Tech de-platforming people like… […]

Donovan discusses trying to renew his health insurance through the health insurance marketplace, and how he feels the ratio is off on how they calculate how much financial assistance you can get based on your gross income. He also gets a little personal, and maybe a little deep, on how he’s been affected by the year that’s been 2020. The post Episode 55: Time is the Fire appeared first on GPPN.

Donovan talks about the differences between Thanksgiving 2019 and Thanksgiving 2020 and how none of us could have been prepared for what 2020 brought us. The post Episode 54: Thanksgiving 2020 appeared first on GPPN.

Previously released as a Don Talk episode, Donovan has decided to fold DT into DDP (why the hell he started DT back again makes no sense, even he admitted that) and release this podcast where he talks about Biden being called the winner by practically all of the news agencies, and the fact that Trump won’t concede.

Donovan discusses a card he received in the mail from the funeral home that handled his mom’s arrangements last year; it was a “Remembering With You” card — and he’s not necessarily happy about it. He and Lea had a good time Halloween night grilling sausages and listening to spooky music and a podcast, but he was pissed that more channels weren’t running Halloween themed movies; they were playing Christmas movies! Rounding out the episode, Donovan explains what his 2021 health insurance will...

Donovan discusses the CEOs of various social media giants being in a virtual meeting on the Hill – Facebook, Twitter, and Google, and how Ted Cruz went after Twitter’s CEO, Jack Dorsey. He provides his own thoughts on what’s happening with the social media networks, how much power they actually have, and if there’s anything that needs to be done, or can be done. He’s especially worried about Section 230 being scrapped. Show your support! The post Episode 51: So They’re Not Unbanned?...

Donovan drops some technical tidbits about changes to the backend of the podcast, but the main focus of this episode is how companies have so much wasted paper because they keep sending mail to dead people! It’s something he keeps having to deal with as the 1 year anniversary of his mom’s death is just around the corner, and even on the day of the recording new mail came in for his dad, who’s been dead since 2013!! How can this be dealt with?! He very briefly talks politics in regards to...

Ok, so the title is a bit cheeky, but Donovan decided to record something a bit on the lighter side. First and foremost on his mind — the incorrect use of the word “more”. He follows up with 12 words that many of us use incorrectly. Links Are You Saying These 12 Words Wrong, Like Most People? George Carlin ” Flammable “ Support DDP!

America has lost a national treasure with the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg (the Notorious RBG). Her seat on the Supreme Court now shines a light on how divided America is, and how unjust and unfair the entire political system has become.

Audio clips of Bob Woodward’s interviews with President Trump have come out where Trump admitted to Woodward that he downplayed the severity of COVID-19 and he KNEW it could be very dangerous.
