A Fireside Chat

I really can't believe how much I used to love the band KORN in my youth. I mean they are legitimately horrible. It's not good at all. It's barely music, yet at one point, I believed they were speaking directly to my soul.

Every time I make Sloppy Joes, I sing "Lunchlady Land" by Adam Sandler. I truly think they won't taste as good if I don't do this. It's science.

I love when people say "have you ever seen that episode of the Simpsons...?" The show has been on for a hundred years and I truthfully never thought it was that great to begin with. I find people that reference The Simpsons and Family Guy alot are people I have zero interest in spending alot of time around. They make me want to eat shards of broken glass.

I'm really hooked on the show Furious on Hulu right now. Great show. Check it out.

Thanks for listening!

I've decided that from now on to know what we cover in the episode, you're just gonna have to listen. This space will be reserved for sophisticated nonsense.

My favorite type of grapes are frozen ones.

I gave the middle finger to someone today for turning too slow into a parking lot. I really think I use my middle finger too liberally but that is my right as an American I suppose.

I often think about the Nickelodeon show Roundhouse and I how much I used to love it as a kid. I tried rewatching some episodes a few years ago and it was fine but it just hit differently as an adult.

I love the Pittsburgh Steelers but HATE their "fight song". It sounds like someone was too drunk to remember the second verse and just repeated it again...HERE WE GO STEELERS...HERE WE GO. As much as I love the team, I hate their fans equally as much.

Friendly reminder again...THE PEDAL ON THE RIGHT IS THE GAS. YOU USE IT TO MAKE THE CAR MOVE. Thank you for your time.

Does anyone actually read these descriptions? Who could ever know or care?

This week we are gonna bypass the anonymous box for one week because I have ALOT to tell to you about.

Some serious. Some silly. Some in between.

It's been a whirlwind few weeks since we last chatted so I appreciate your continued support of the shows erratic schedule and my incessant babbling.

Now some thoughts that I forget to put into audio form...

I hope the World Cup ends in a tie. I hope there is no winner. This is what we deserve. F soccer.

I couldn't imagine living in a world where I cared about a train named Big Boy and gave a shit about it passing through my town but to each his own. Are you that bored with your life and the infinite number of things to watch on television? Do you not have any family or friends that you could spend time with? You do you but I think trains are stupid and trains named after a failed fast food franchise are even stupider.

The left lane is for people who actually have somewhere to be and know how the gas pedal works. If you're afraid of accelerating, please get a bus pass and get the hell off the road.

Hello!

Your podcast hero is back with another fresh episode for your ear holes!

This week, I'm catching you up on all the ways in which i'm failing at life. This includes my failure at road rage, my failure to use the internet comment section correctly, and I get the neighbors I've dreamed of but don't appreciate it.

Also I'll tell you about my recent trips to the movie theater and we talk childhood memories, the power of music, and Dr. S checks in via voicemail with some insights and wisdom.

A supercharged extended episode for your summer vacation!

Thanks for listening!

Hello!

I hope you're doing well.

It's been a little while since we spoke and I"m happy to spend an hour and some change with you.

This week is mainly just a check in and a catch up.

I"ve been dealing with some stress with my future living situation and my body has been slowly turning against mefrom the inside out.

I'll tell you all about it and pepper in some voicemails from an AFC legend and a very difficult to answer WYR.

Let's get to it.

Happy Mothers Day to all the Mothers!

This is the First Ever episode without Oats Mcgoats. This is a sad milestone, but there is no time to be depressed. We have healing and podcasting to do...not necessarily in that order.

This week, I detail my final hours with my roomate and audio engineer, the Pittsburgh Pirates interrupt my grieving process, and then we dive into the anonymous box for a wide array of topics and rants.

I discuss overrated and underrated movies, my hatred of all things Harry Potter and answer the age old question of pickles or brains.

All this and much much more.

A huge thank you from the bottom of my heart toe everyone who reached out or even just sent me nice thoughts this past week. I couldn't have done any of this without you guys. Love you all!

Hello again,

It's like two shows in one this week.

Up first, we dive into the mailbag for lots of movie talk, your advice for my colonoscopy conundrum and I find a new appreciation for Sting...sort of.

Then the second half of the show is really just for me but you're welcome to listen in. I have a very candid and honest discussion with myself about a situation I have to deal with this week. I talk through my emotions and thoughts as I prepare to say goodbye to a dear friend.

The title of this one says it all.

Some updates on everything, some movie recommendations, and some topics from the anonymous box...sort of.

And a handful of voicemails that slipped through the cracks.

Thanks for your patience and support and most of all THANKS FOR LISTENING!

New year, same old AFC

This week's show is bookended by two stories about how my year ended and began in not so great fashion.

In between, I discuss a whole bunch of movies and TV shows that I've watched, some topics from the anonymous box including an update from our last episode and I reminisce about a time I got drunk off beer and ruined a role playing game.

All this and much much more

Happy new year and thanks for listening!

Its the last episode of the year (probaly) and we are doing some WYR, talking about Halloween decorations staying up too long and a listener wants to know if their therapist crossed a line.

I certainly have some thoughts on this matter but I want to hear what AFC Nation thinks so feel free to weigh in with your opinions in all the usual places.

All this and much much more.

Thanks for listening!
