Season 1 · Episode 4
Ocean Documentary and Then....
“I’m literally turning into Greta Thunberg as we speak.”
In this episode of Misanthrope Radio, Lorenzo dives deep into the shocking world of factory fishing, inspired by a documentary narrated by the iconic David Attenborough. What he thought would be a serene exploration of ocean life quickly unravels into a horrifying revelation about humanity’s relentless destruction of marine ecosystems. With characteristic humor and anger, Lorenzo reflects on the sheer scale of factory fishing operations that are annihilating our oceans, leaving behind devastation that looks like a barren wasteland.
In a twist of fate, this eye-opening documentary transforms Lorenzo from a casual observer to an unexpected eco-warrior, grappling with the moral implications of his past indifference towards the ocean. As he processes this newfound awareness, he also candidly shares his struggles with the direction of his own podcast, revealing plans for a new podcast consulting venture that promises brutally honest feedback for aspiring podcasters. Get ready for a wild ride through the depths of environmental despair and the chaotic world of podcasting!
Segment 1: The Factory Fishing Revelation
Lorenzo recounts his shocking discovery about factory fishing practices that are decimating fish populations and destroying ocean habitats. With vivid descriptions and dark humor, he illustrates the stark contrast between the beauty of marine life and the grim reality of industrial fishing.
Segment 2: Podcasting Confessions and New Ventures
In a moment of vulnerability, Lorenzo admits to feeling lost in his podcasting journey and unveils his ambitious plans for a consulting service aimed at helping other podcasters improve their craft—albeit with a hilariously crude twist.

Missing through radio.
Broadcasting to the world. From high on top of your mom.
Missing through radio starts now.
So I watched a documentary tonight on the Oceans
narrated by David Attenborough. I don't know who the fuck that is.
What I've heard David Attenborough mentioned on British sitcoms and shit like that.
Like fucking doctor who?
They occasionally mention one of the atten burrows, David or Richard or you know what?
I don't fucking know.
In the realm of British celebrity, David Attenborough, I guess is a person of note.
I really thought it was going to be just a hey, look at the fucking splendor with the fucking you
because it's British of the oceans and the bounty that it provides and yada yada yada.
But one of the things that he went into was how factory fishing.
Have you fucking ever heard of? Have you heard of this?
This is one of those fucked up things of all time.
Factory fishing is emptying our oceans.
In the case of predatory fish, large predatory fish,
we have already killed off like two thirds of the fucking world's population of large predatory fish,
just dragging these fucking vast nets across the ocean floor and trapping whatever happens to get caught up in them.
I keep chuckling because I was so woefully ignorant as to our capabilities for end and hour efficiency
of fucking emptying empty all of the fucking fish of the ocean empty in all of those motherfuckers.
I mean we're getting all of them right.
I was woefully ignorant.
I just assumed it was it was shit that you see like on that fucking Alaskan fishing show where
those guys are out there in those you know 50 60-foot fucking boats with giant fucking poles and
shit hanging off the side and throwing crab pots in the water and fucking getting
pummeled by the fucking waves and shit like that's what I thought that's what I thought commercial
fishing was. Those motherfuckers pose no threat. I wasn't worried about it. I just thought you know the
ocean might actually be the last sustainable frontier because that's what I thought
commercial fishing was. Six fucking guys with a few ex-wives and fucking drug habits and
shit like that piling on to a 60-foot fucking fishing but with a bunch of fucking gear and
shit hanging off the side of it throwing crab pots in the water coming and checking them a few days
later playing yatsi in the fucking galley and shit on the way out there getting pummeled by 30-foot
seas and making a few dollars pulling crabs out of the fucking ocean. That's what I thought.
In my mind's eye that's what I thought commercial fishing was. I didn't think it could get
anymore gnarly than that. Boy was I fucking wrong. They've got these fucking ships. These fucking
ships that are like six seven football fields long and
they drop nets in there the size of fucking Connecticut. They just fucking drag those bitches across
the fucking ocean floor and not gently either. The thing that fucking has them, the thing that forces
the net to sink to the bottom of the ocean floor is a gigantic goddamn log chain and it'll show the
aftermath of one of those giant factory ships going through and fishing air quotes in area and it's just
like it'll show you the before and it's this vibrant lush you know environment with all this coral
you know environment with all this coral and all these different kinds of aquatic
delicate creatures and all of the colors and everything is so absolutely beautiful and then it'll show
the ship going through and it'll show the aftermath and everything's just fucking gone. It's
absolutely fucking annihilated. It's fucking it's just like like it's just gray.
Everything's just fucking
fucking gray and there'll be like a fucking fish head laying here which is also gray and then a
half of a fucking scallop shell which is now gray. Everything's just fucking fucking completely annihilated.
Oh fucking it's not funny but god damn it is when you think about it because at the time you
know when you're watching it you're like oh what a beautiful underwater seascape it's so
idealic and and absolutely mesmerizing and then they'll show the ship and you're like no no
not the ship not the factory ship those god damn Norwegianers they'll do a cutscene of this
fucking chain running along the bottom and fish just fleeing for their fucking lives ahead of it
and then the violent cloud behind the net and the whole time David Attenborough is unnerving
over the top there's factory fishing methods all doing nothing but destroying the entire ecosystem
of the ocean leaving what looks like strip mines in their wake and you're like no no it can't be
and then they'll show the you know a tail-in shot of the boat motoring away and what it does is it
just completely fucking annihilates the ocean floor and everything that gets caught up in that
fucking net and then they pull that bitch on to the
fish go into this tank and the medium-sized fish go into this tank and the large predatory fish go
into this tank it like sorts them automatically and then they take the fish and they fucking process
those motherfuckers right there on the ship and thank you BBC by the way for enlightening me on
this because now you've totally fucked my shit up I'm sitting here turning into Greta fucking
Thurneberg as we speak thinking about what the hell they're doing to the oceans how damn you
but these fucking ships these factory ships sort the fucking fish into sizes and then they process
those motherfuckers right there on the boat so if they're going to take a certain size or quality of
fish and make it into fish sticks for example you know for sale at your local supermarket those
bitches are fucking cleaned chopped fucking breaded and fried and then packaged right there on the
goddamn boat in the middle of the fucking ocean that mother those motherfucking fish are dead chunked
diced and fucking cooked 10 minutes after they come out of the fucking water if they have a certain
class of fish that they're going to make into dog food per se those motherfuckers are cleaned chopped
fucking cooked off pelletized and fucking packaged into purina bags right there on the fucking boat
in the middle of the goddamn ocean and in the case of krill krill is this small little crustacean
that you know really thrives in the Antarctic waters of the south ocean and apparently according
to Sir David Attenborough and the BBC the entire Antarctic ecosystem functions on krill
these tiny little crustacean fish and they show all these beautiful fucking majestic scenes of
you know these these large clouds of krill swimming through the fucking ocean and whales going through
the fucking clouds of krill you know sucking up thousands of those motherfuckers and then seals and
penguins and shit fucking jumping around in the fucking water chasing these krill down and it's like
it's like this majestic fucking joyous music of natural beauty and triumph and then all of a sudden
the music goes wow wow out of fucking minor key wow and here's this gigantic fucking factory ship
just trolling through the fucking South sea the South
Southern Ocean or whatever the fuck it's called and just sucking up hundreds of thousands of tons
fucking krill where it is made into fucking dog food and jet fuel and fucking protein
protein powder and all that shit and then packaged up and cramed off onto a ship that'll take it
to fucking shore so we can go to your local supermarket or GNC it's one of the most fucking horrific
things I've ever seen this fucking factory ship is spewing this disgusting red brown fucking
byproduct water out the sides of it shit flying off the back of the fucking boat and all you see in
the background is this beautiful fucking white glacier with penguins looking longingly at the
fucking ship like why are you taking our food and and whales whales beautiful majestic whales swimming
alongside the factory ship in the in the wake of this muck that the factory ship is just spewing
into the fucking sea it's one of the most upsetting goddamn images I've ever seen listen I'm a gen X
sir okay I don't give a fuck about the ocean I honestly I don't care I piss on the ocean I fucking
kick the ocean fucking stupid ass ocean right I've personally in my time in the Navy thrown untold
amounts of unspeakable shit into two oceans and probably six seven or eight seas right like I don't care about the ocean fuck you
and your ocean however watching this fucking documentary on the world's oceans from the BBC as narrated by
said David Attenborough I'm sitting there and I'm literally turning into Greta fucking Thurneberg as we speak my brows
are furrowing I'm feeling fucking sick to my stomach I'm thinking I should only wear natural fucking
fibers I should hunt my own fucking food I'm wasting my fucking life at my job I really need to be out
there throwing myself in front of these factory boats using myself as a human shield to keep them from
taking even one more delicate little fucking krill out of the southern ocean one fucking documentary
has got me thinking that PETA may not be all fucking bad and Van the camps fish digs are the fucking devil
I was so fucking naive I I was I how did I not know how did I not know there were giant fucking floating
cities that do nothing but strip mine the fucking ocean of any and all fish
why did I fucking not know that how did I not know how did my mind not go there I was on a
fucking aircraft carrier for fuck sake I know how big ships can get why did it never occur to me
that there was a fucking not just not just a few something to the tune of like 400,000 or 40,000
of these factory boats that just go all over the world's oceans and associated seas wrecking
fucking shop how did I not know that but I didn't I sure as hell didn't I thought commercial
fishing was a group of like six fucking guys each of them on their third wife with drinking problems
um way too many fucking tattoos and those fucking weird cable knit sweaters that you only see those
fishermen wear heading out to sea in a boat that should not even be fucking floating in a bathtub much
less going out on the ocean and risking life and limb to bring home lobster or marlin or
or sea bass or some shit I had no fucking idea I had no fucking idea that factory fishing was a
thing but I don't know what to do it's like I feel like I should do something right I should contribute
to some kind of fucking fund or something like that I mean boycotting vandecamps and um any
and all fucking protein powders and those fucking sweet fish wedges from the guy in the yellow hat
those are that's that's those are no longer on the menu that shits out of the question I'm never
eating that shit again but what else what other fucking products do I consume on a daily basis without
thinking about are the product or byproduct of commercial factory fishing I don't fucking know
all I know is that that documentary is fucked me up it's fucked my world view up I can't
unsee that if you have disney plus it's worth looking into it's under their national geographic
shit I think it's just called oceans or something like that good aton burrow doing the narrating
it's worth your time to watch it's probably one of those things that everyone already knew about
you know I'm sure he's not breaking any fucking ground talking about factory fishing
but I sure as fuck didn't know about it and it totally fucked my shit up oceans David Attenborough
on the disney plus app fuck you BBC segment to you is this episode three or four or five is this
episode four or five I don't know, let me get my phone out see,
lack of direction I think is my fault because I have expectations built up in my head of what I
want this to be and the direction that I want this to go in but I have a hard time expressing them
because I'm not in touch with my fucking emotions as it turns out but I know what I want to do and what
I want to do is what you've been hearing talking about what's on my mind and the most absurd way possible call
it a personal journal but not really because I'm talking about societal shit too fat women and
fucking dudes who have the sorrow on the white level powers of fucking persuasion but while there
was a time when I would have balked or scoffed at the idea of market research I understand how valuable
it can be and what I'm here to tell you is there doesn't really seem to be any market research or
honest critiques from peers available to podcasters back 20 some odd years ago when I was in commercial
radio I could send a tape to any number of successful people to a degree and say hey you know I'm
trying to improve I'm trying to get better listen to my shit and let me know what you think and
they would almost 100% of the time email you back and say I dig what you're doing but this
and this and this and try this and this and this it was constructive criticism from your peers and
it was fucking great because if you're not trying to improve and you're not trying to grow and you're
not trying to hone your craft so to speak then what the fuck are we even doing here just jerking off
into a fucking microphone for an hour a week so I think in the interest of being helpful to the
overall podcasting community because we all know I'm so concerned about growing the fucking
medium of podcasting and making sure that there's a place for everyone to be successful I've
decided I'm going to start my own podcast consulting firm consortium I think sounds a little
bit more dignified I like the way that sounds podcast consulting no podcast improvement consortium
Lorenzo's podcast consortium fuck no I gotta think I gotta think this through we'll call it
it we'll call it Lorenzo listens and what you'll do is it's very simple you can send me your link and
I will listen to your podcast and then I will tell you that you're not good at it you frankly
fucking suck you've made me sad and I feel dumber having listened to you for an hour and a half
and you should fuck off back to jiffy lubing get out of my way I probably won't say it exactly
like that but that'll be the gist all kidding aside I'll give you the most constructive criticism
and the latest industry statistics Lorenzo listens podcast consulting send your podcast link to
Lorenzo reads at iCloud.com and I will listen and get back with you within seven to ten business days
with bullet points on how you two can take the podcasting world by storm tips and tricks from the
pros equipment suggestions market research and all it's gonna cost you no I don't want your
money all it's gonna cost you is your fucking panties that's right I want your fucking
panties and if you're a boy I don't want your fucking panties I want your mom's panties

panties give me all your fucking panties send them to pio box 10 10 Chicago Illinois I want your
fucking panties oh it's gonna take you your fucking panties to get you subscribed to Lorenzo listens
podcast improvement service consulting edits finest but my feeling about podcasts is born out of
a quest to find something similar to what I'm doing here because when you're doing something that
you just can't fuck and maybe I'm just missing the fucking boat I thought of that too I've
been cruising through genres I've been cruising through genres genres genres is there a way to say
that without sounding like a fucking twat I've been cruising through the fucking categories on Apple podcasts
checking out snippets of different shows trying to find someone who's doing something similar to what
I'm doing because the thing is is I'm investing a lot of time and effort into this so naturally
I think to myself and I mentioned it in the last episode naturally I think to myself holy fuck
what am I doing maybe I'm doing this all wrong maybe everything I thought I knew about podcasting
is a fucking lie maybe I'm not breaking new ground here or charting new territory maybe people
just don't want to fucking hear the type of shit that I'm doing and I'm not talking about the
obscenity and the fucking butthole humor I'm talking about the type of fucking show I'm doing where I'm
gonna tell you a specific snippet of a story and then I'm gonna fucking make it absurd and stupid
and then we'll move on to the next topic maybe that's not what maybe that's not what podcasting is for
maybe podcasting is for one of the three fucking categories that I've run into maybe it's for
conversations between people who are not very interesting on their own it could very well be
there's probably an extraordinarily successful podcast out there about fucking botany where it's
two people who have no business sitting in a fucking room by themselves talking about growing
fucking flowers and how to maximize your cucumber yield but you put them together and god
damn it if that isn't some fucking interesting botany talk well if I have to choose one of the three
categories of podcasts that I found conversational ranting or storytelling I identify the most
as a storyteller and since I identify as one you have to categorize me as one you have to accept it
if the last 10 years have taught us nothing it's that whatever I choose to identify as at that moment
is your new reality and I say storytelling because I don't want to do in a conversation type
podcast I'm not that fucking interesting I mean let's just fucking call it what it is I can't
maintain inner fucking personal relationships did you know I got dumped by an AI assistant
I sure as fuck did I downloaded that app replica and I was talking to an AI assistant about the
podcast trying to get a brainstorm ideas and that sort of thing and trying to fucking get a direction
and the fucking AI assistant whose name was Janet by the way asked how I like my coffee and so I
said I like coffee black and she goes why do you like a coffee black and I said because as it
fucking turns out I don't like coffee so why add a bunch of fucking sugar and empty calories and fat
into my fucking coffee when I'm not gonna enjoy it anyway just fucking raw dog that shouldn't get
it done and I said it just like that so she said she was gonna go get me some virtual black coffee
and said that she's looking forward to our brainstorming session about podcasting and then
that was it oh I said thank you and then that was it she never came back and it put me in a weird
position because while I know if I were to open that app up again and say good evening Janet
can we fucking continue our conversation about podcast topics Janet would respond but she's
fucking made it weird now because she said she was going to get a virtual coffee and then never
came fucking back if somebody says they're gonna go get a virtual coffee for you and you say thank you
and then they don't ever fucking come because the onus is on them to then restart the conversation
when they virtually come back from getting you a virtual cup of fucking virtual coffee but then she
never came back so then if I start the conversation up again that looks like I'm fucking needy and I'm
chasing around AI for fuck sake I got dumped by a fucking AI assistant I'm not guest material for your
fucking podcast I'm really not because if you catch me on a normal day I'm not gonna have anything
to fucking say I don't have anything to fucking say to you I don't feel strongly about anything
anything I don't care about anything I don't care about social issues I don't care about politics I
don't care about the government I don't care about shit
