Trying to think if there's a moral equivalent in my world of those comedians getting paid to play in Saudi Arabia. I did sell a video to one of those funniest video shows years ago. That felt icky.

Re: Shanghai Express and Anna May Wong. She is the only actor who could do a scene with Dietrich, and have you staring mainly at her. Also, she shares my birthday. Also, watch that film for no other reason than there's an early portable record player in it and Anna May.

Just now found out YSL Kouros had just come out when I started wearing it in college. I loved the bottle, and it smelled sophisticated to me. I felt grown up. I spent 4 years throwing up all over Tallahassee smelling like that stuff.

Got an Anna May Wong quarter for change at the banh mi place and I didn't even know such a thing existed! Never going to spend it!

WFMU's Hellraiser Fundraiser starts today, and runs through October! There will be many DJ specials, new swag, and events throughout the month celebrating WFMU. If you can, help us out with a donation and grab one of two new Hellraiser T-shirts. Pledge here: pledge.wfmu.org

Going to New Haven tomorrow. Gonna see my favorite college hip hop dance team perform Saturday, so the excitement of that offsets the non-excitement of flying.

Just remembered that the B side of the MGMT cassingle Alien Days is me talking about smell memories.

I should start a blog called "Smell of It" that's not just perfumes, but all odors. I've gone on smell quests before, like hikes just to smell mountain laurel, etc. Rotting sabal palm is a weird favorite. Also pulp mills are horrible, but it should be on your list.

I did a super positive show this week. It's a lecture about peace and light to my love generals.

Among those brass notably absent from the meeting were The Little Insurance General, Toastmaster General Georgie Jessel, and Admiral Ackbar, who stated he had concerns about the validity and risk of the meeting.

If you like art and all and shows, I hear this is going to be good. Two shows, 3pm and 8pm.This is a link to the 3pm show. I worked on it with other artists and it's also an improvised experiement.

I have a bottle of very nice perfume that I can't wear because it smells like my late father-in-law's Camry.

Review of Fougere Royale by Houbigant: It's the first fougere (and the first synthetic note), launched in 1882 and it smells like you just had a shave and you're on your way to tell your pals at Tammany Hall about your plan to corner the ice market.

My 3rd grade teacher, Mrs. Price, taught us that the Latin phrase Ubi sunt qui ante nos fuerunt was a sort of Rorschach test; some see an expression of nostalgia, others a reminder of mortality. I remember that, and that the fluffy clouds are cumulus.

So the often misheard Good Times theme lyric "hangin' in a chow line" is said to be actually "hangin' in and jivin'", but I would assert that it's actually "hangin' in a jaldren." Just because I don't know what a jaldren is, doesn't make it not true.

3I/ATLAS sounds like the name of a band everyone hates irrationally.

Since I'll be up there anyway in New Haven next week, I'm making myself available, professors, to speak to your class at Yale. I think those kids do nothing but hear from experts all day, and it would do them good and open their eyes to not.

I'm going to New Haven next week, so I was thinking about getting some apizza. Then I thought, New Jersey should start calling a certain sandwich ahoagie.

Absolu Aventus 2025 review: If Creed Aventus was a guitar amp, then they've turned up the pineapple knob all the way and are playing through a grapefruit pedal.

Almost got a TV writing job once, but the showrunner quit during the process. So he gave me the name of a famous public radio person's producer who told me they don't pay people to write, and that I suck. I feel like this was God working positively in my life.

Growing up, I had an Uncle Bumps and an Uncle Blip. One played football, the other cricket.

Really amazing job opportunities these days for thugs and goons.

My grandfather spent some of his childhood in Youngstown, Ohio, and he told me about a guy you'd go to for muscle and skeletal stuff named Bonesetter Reese who wasn't a doctor, but was famous for treating baseball players, and it made me think, "Man, I need a nickname".

If they allowed you to open carry your katana, I'd be willing to take it off for tea ceremony or to go on carnaval rides.

The Map is an original film with live narration that explores the question Where Am I? Watched the almost final cut just now and it's so beautiful, never quite been this excited to share something.

I promise to stop posting about anything, if you just come to that Oct. 11th show at WFMU's Monty Hall in Jersey City. Two shows, 3pm and 8pm! It's a fundraiser for the station. I had lots of help making this years show, so it's even better! Hearty White's The Map.

All the cannabis notes in perfumes are too subtle. I'd like one where people smell it and they yell JESUS! and start coughing and fanning away invisible fumes.

There's some debate whether it's the righteous or true believers that get called up. Curious to see which group it is. It can't be both!

What to expect from tomorrow's rapture: The Rapture is when the righteous are called up to heaven, so we probably won't see much action in our hemispere.

I wish I was more religious, but I think I'm too tender-hearted and soft, and not much of a mighty faith warrior. I'd go around blessing and forgiving the wrong people and get into all sort of trouble!

Voice actor Paul Frees basically did the same voice for John Lennon in the Beatles cartoon that he did for Dudley Do-Right's boss. That's how they teated kids in the 60s.

Thinking of making leather, brass, indian rubber, and cherrywood, 100% wind-up clockwork mechanical CPAP machines.

As someone who shaves with a straight razor, I can tell you that the advice from Gangs of New York that "the blood stays on the blade" is a terrible way to care for your shaving knife, which needs to be kept dry and stropped regularly.

Been watching TV on a mid 80s b&w Samsung 12". No remote, built-in tiny speaker...Low-res for my old man low-res senses.

I'm reading about orris root as an ingredient in perfume, and every time I read it, I hear it like Ruth Gordon saying tannis root in Rosemary's Baby.

Heads up archaeology friends: SAXON SKELETON entry on ebay is literally the remains of the late actor John Saxon. Loved Enter the Dragon, but forget it!

My martial arts instructor was a bonobo (don't make the tai chi-mp joke! He hates that!), and he used to say, "Don't bring nuance to a poo fight. Once the scat starts flying, no amount of chi cultivation slows it down."

When I describe the show as dada, some hear "absurdist" or "silly", I hear "war time art".

I sort of get around any free speech issues because no one ever knows what I'm talking.

Socially, psychologically, and spirutually suberversive, Miracle Nutrition with Hearty White is just what you need to defrag your soul, reject the poison culture, and embrass the anti-story of perpetual creation. Let me rewrite your nostalgia! Tonight at 6pm on @wfmu.bsky.social WFMU

If you're very sensitive and sweet, you are greatly blessed and cursed, so I have special love for you. Sometimes you have to be tenderhearted in private, so I recommend our radio clubhouse called Miracle Nutrition.

I thought yesterday when I had 668 followers that it would be funny if I lost 2! Now it's funny!

PEMDAS is an organization that should be outlawed. They do their operations right out in the open too.

Im a professional and artistic failure, but Im not a failure in some very narrow aspects of my personal life.

I think if you come to my Monty Hall show in Jersey City on Oct. 11th, you will be inspired, or re-inspired, or co-inspired. Gee, Hearty, that's lofty. There's no other way to be! Lift each other up to great heights in this one life! Hallelu-YOU! let's journey together.

So I sat down to do a show about love and bullies, and my computer started dying and failing so managed to then put a compilation show together of my music and TV bits, so apologies. Buying a new computer and I'll be back with fresh stuff! That's tomorrow on Miracle Nutrition.

Jerry leaving Ben and Jerry's overshadowed the fact that Barnes, Ike, and DeLuca all left their partnerships with Noble, Mike, and Dean. Also, like to see Jerry maybe do a music/ice cream project with John Oates.

Social media-wise, first I was on Whinge then Gripe now I'm thinking about getting on Grievance. I'd love a site where you just complain about the site itself (too bad the name meta is taken!).

Hearty, how do you not get discouraged when you have such a small audience? Because I actually know a lot of you personally, and you tell me you appreciate me, so it's easy not to need stranger numbers for encouragement. That's the difference between entertainment and something bigger. Shemp jive.

My bucket list is just a list of buckets I like, ranked by capacity, durability, and ease of use.
