    We debate all the funny parts about masks endangering our lives now that they're pollution, cops shooting minorities (specifically Hispanics), girl scouts using drones, distastefully targeted army/military recruitment ads, green energy, etc.

  • Ep. 8 - Thus Spoke TheraFlu Shot
    May 5 2021

    Love and hate! Can I meet somewhere in the middle? I got the vaccine and BOY do I regret it! Don't worry; it's a funny story! And if you follow the journey, I have a great new segment at the end of the show.

    Lost the ability to speak and then was slurry for a bit, had some priceless interactions with my doctor, got a ton of unexpected support, but then as usual fixated on the minority. THEN, I try fixing my "negativity bias" by using a doctor's blog which made me angrier than when I started!

    Thankfully, I found my new favorite thing for a new segment, "Catholic Movie Reviews"! This week, "Roe v. Wade"!!!

  • Ep. 7 - Amadeus Movie Roast On Magic Mushrooms (Oscar Special)
    Apr 28 2021

    I screwed up the audio for the episode with Marcus Shakes, so that will be out in a few weeks.

    Thankfully I tripped ass, got bored with my brain, decided I needed bright colors, and decided to watch Amadeus (Oscar Winner 1985) for the costumes and music. Realized my favorite movie was supremely roastable, so managed to untangle myself to plug in some cables and record.

    More childhood memories! sort of...remember: mushrooms. Also...Salieri takes himself too seriously, Austrians are good at classical music for the reason they were good at another thing, that guy from Ferris Bueller who did too much Devil's Advocate, etc.

  • Ep. 6 - Journey with the Smegma of the Earth, with Trashy Tina (Origin Stories Series)
    Apr 21 2021

    I had an unpleasant incident at an open mic so I spoke to one of my favorite people Trashy Tina, a great comic and spectacular vegan chef. We took a car ride to an open mic, and if you can't tell, laughing is her second language. We talk about being mixed race, our trashy dating and sex habits, our trashy smoking habits, our trashy apartment, our trashy organizational skills, and of course the incident a trashy bar.

  • Ep. 5 - Dumpster Diving & Deformities, with Connor Ford (Origin Stories Series)
    Apr 14 2021

    I talk to Connor Ford, a Chicago comic and super friendly dude I met in Indiana. We hit it off immediately, and figured we'd record an episode to find out why! We trade origin stories: whether the deformities in his town were from Native American curse or factory runoff, his parents' insane living situation, being a vegan rugby player, our childhood best friends, overcorrecting after a breakup, and our thoughts on a Kurt Vonnegut book.

  • Ep. 4 - Panties in a Twister
    Apr 7 2021

    Sad boy today but still a funny ep! I tell you about my "trip" to the library (and a park) and the hilarity of trying to check out history books while in another dimension, the UFC and Conor McGregor sponsoring his own fights, I managed to find anti-Hong Kong propaganda in the "Godzilla vs. Kong" movie and talk Chinese movie studios, and if you pay close attention throughout you'll probably figure out why I'm single now.

  • Ep. 3 - Bridge Burned Over the River Chi
    Mar 31 2021

    TRIGGER WARNING: I talk about domestic violence in this episode. I also talk about taking mushrooms, government housing, sex-worker aka "empowered woman" aka "noisy neighbor", why the movie Lone Survivor is great for the wrong reasons, my hatred of Mark Wahlberg and Peter Berg, burning bridges / moving on from friendships &  sarcastic salutes.
