Aaron Imholte, Host of The Steel Toe Morning Show, Is an Innocent Man and a Great Radio Personality and His Accusers Are Liars and Slanderers of the Lowest Order
A brief essay on my favorite internet radio personality, Aaron Imholte.
I am writing the following under great duress, as the hip hop music in this Arbys is very loud. The employees should not be allowed to play their music this loud, but I say nothing because they have warned me that if I complain about the music again they will no longer serve me at this Arby’s and it is the only restaurant open within walking distance of my housing complex, so I soldier through.
Let me begin
I love Aaron Imholte, host and owner of the Minnesota Radio show, The Steel Toe Morning Show. Aaron Michael Imholte (born December 24, 1986) hails from the small city of Saint Cloud, Minnesota. For six years, his Steel Toe Morning Show aired on WHMH-FM Rockin’ 101 until he was unjustly removed for expressing himself. Despite this seeming setback, Aaron powered through and was able to successfully relocate his white Minnesota fanbase to Twitch, causing a near 90% drop in listenership for his former radio station.
Some have described him as a shock jock, a modern day Howard Stern. I can see where the comparison could stem from, but I must disagree to a certain respect. What Aaron does on the air is far superior to anything the likes of Howard Stern and Opie and Anthony could ever achieve. His takes on current events and retellings of personal stories are engaging, delivered masterfully in a voice that is both coarse and engrossing.
I could listen to Aaron’s gruff and brutal takedowns of contemporary politicians and celebrities for hours. Sadly, Aaron Imholte’s internet radio program adheres to a strict weekly schedule, thus drastically limiting the amount of content I am able to consume.
Thankfully, there is a sizable backlog of Aaron Imholte content that I have been able to listen to during the moments that Aaron is not streaming his internet broadcast. I am now nearly finished listening to and transcribing all 1000+ hours of his old WHMH broadcasts and will upload them to the internet archive within the year.
The Plan
Although I don’t live in Minnesota (or do I?) I hope to one day meet Aaron Imholte in person (or have I?). It will probably go something like this:
Me: Hey Aaron, I can’t believe I’m finally meeting you in person. How’s it going.
Aaron: Hey, always nice to meet one of my fans in person. I’m doing okay, all things considered.
Me: I get it, being in the middle of a divorce can be really tough, especially taking into consideration how unfairly men are treated by the courts. It’s like your a fugitive on the run, desperately trying to prove your innocence as the walls around you close in.
Aaron: Wow, you nailed it man. By the way, I didn’t catch your name.
Me: I’m Phil, Phil Rot. I am a comedy writer, but I also write some horror as well.
Aaron: Wow, that’s awesome. I would love to see your stuff. I’ve been looking for a comedy writer for my show.
Me: Sure, hey, come to think of it, I’ve been working on a new segment for your show and I would love to present it on your program. The only problem is, I am a little shy.
Aaron: Come on man, I can tell you’re a very funny guy. You would be perfect on my show!
Me: Okay, let’s do this.
And then he shakes my hand in a firm way, and he looks into my eyes, and he recognizes that I am his new friend and not someone who is dangerous or “crazy.”
That’s how I imagine it in my head anyways, but we will have to see how it goes.
Addressing the Allegations
Recently Aaron has been accused of terrible, untrue things by his ex wives , April (not directly, but one could infer this is the case given the circumstances) and his other ex wife, who is the mother of his children (who I will not name in this article as she is not a public figure, allegedly). I won’t get into the details, as they are obviously false. This all begin when Aaron chose to distance himself from internet lawyer and alleged cocaine abuser, Nick Rekieta. I could go on about Nick Rekieta, but there is a wealth of information on his many degenerate behaviors on websites such as YouTube.com and Internet Explorer.
I read the comments on YouTube clips and I downvote those who speak ill of him. People call him a monster, a wife beater, all sorts of crazy things that they have absolutely no proof to back up. It fills me with anger, to tell you the truth, and sometimes I fantasize about meeting these people in real life and doing horrible things to them, things I cannot say in public, things that even the Devil could not conceive…
Here is the truth: Aaron is an innocent man and a remarkable father. Although I will not share their names or faces, I imagine how much fun his children have getting to spend the weekend with him and how sad they are to have to return to their vengeful mother. I imagine him taking them bowling, or to boxing lessons, canoeing, and ending the day with an enormous bowl of ice cream topped with candies and slices of fresh fruit and syrups.
I am tired of hearing people slander this wonderful husband and father I want them to hurt, to feel the same pain that Aaron feels when he is spuriously slandered by these trolls and liars! But then I remember that Aaron is strong, stronger than all of the hate in the world. I think that Aaron knew the world would one day turn their backs on him, but that it would be necessary in order for him to save us from ourselves, that they would nail him to the cross, only for him to rise from the “grave” and show the world that he was right.
The Mountain
I imagine me and Aaron climbing to the top of a mountain, pushing through the ache and strain in my muscles, and when we get to the top, he tells me to push him off. I tell him that I can’t, and he laughs.
He tells me: Don’t you trust me? Have you not learned anything from my words? Again, I ask you to push me.
And, rather than giving into my fear, I push him from the top of the great mountain. I watch him fall, hurdling thousands of feet towards the sharp rocks below. And then, suddenly, he glides like a bird, then rises like a phoenix , hovering high above me, circling through the air effortlessly, his arms extended like wings, and he lands back on the mountaintop beside me and says:
Haven’t I told you, through me all things are possible.
Even though I knew this would happen, I am still in shock and cannot believe any mortal man could achieve a level of being that is beyond even the Gods.
He then tells me about his plan to finally bring together the members of the Aryan race and establish a new land for them in the Arizona desert. It is here that he will teach the Aryan race how to be self sufficient, unchained from the shackles of the United States government. He will teach us the Steel Toe ethos, how to hunt and build magnificent structures from cacti that cannot be broken.
We will build the great temple promised to us by God, one that can withstand any pressure. Here we will take our final stand against the forces of the great Satan, the Jesuit parasites who have sucked the life from our women and children and wish to destroy our Aryan culture.
Conclusion
I am a fan of Aaron Imholte and The Steel Toe Morning Show is the greatest internet radio show of all time. I am going to send this article to Aaron Imholte so that he understands how much I support him- no, how much WE support him, because I and his listeners are legion and we will follow him wherever he goes and we will not apologize for our undying love of Aaron Imholte and all that he does and all that he represents in a world gone mad.
Thank you, Aaron. I hope to meet you soon.
