A Fireside Chat

We go back to basics this week. We'll revisit the anonymous box and assorted feedback next week but for now it's just me, a mic and my grievances.

I open with some general thoughts about this time of year and chaotic past 2 weeks of my life.

Finally we wrap up with two stories related to songs from my past.

First I recount the time I went to a music festival in Minnesota and almost had a very bad experience.

Then I tell a story of a song that reminds me of longing for a girl that I worked with and how silly the circumstances are in retrospect.

All this and much much more.

Hope you all have a very healing and peaceful holiday!

What a fun episode we have this week!

Paul McGinty and Ian Sharpley of Mcsoss return to the podcast to discuss the music that has shaped their lives. We discuss and break down songs that make us sad, happy, angry, and everything in between.

Why does Niki Minaj make Paul so sad? What one hit wonder of the 90s did Ian do a super deep dive on? What cheesy eighties song hits me right in the feels?

The answers to all these questions and so much more!

You can find Mcsoss on all major social media platforms and everywhere you find podcasts.

This week, we continue our trek through the songs that you love and hate and everything in between.

Also this week, I try to change my opinion of this time of year by doing a good deed, I have a less than awesome time at a wrestling show and I compete in a game of gay chicken.

Also based on a listener suggestion, we begin a new regular segment on the show of Would You Rather questions every week.

Then a very honest and powerful Dead Said Truth about a listener questioning their own mind and thoughts.

All this and much much more.

Then a ton of feedback from AFC nation regarding recent episodes and many great song selections as listeners turn in their homework assignments.

Finally, a very honest and candid Dead Said Truth about overcoming addiction and AFC nation share their addictions that range from chewing ice to sniffing underwear and everything in between.

A really fun show that you won't want to miss.

Thanksgiving is over but there is still a lot to be thankful for. I'm thankful for the amazing submissions to the anonymous box this week and I think you will be too.

First we go over some fun feedback from the AFC nation and we discuss some songs that make you dance like no one is watching and completely lose control. This includes a story from my past about a song that used to make me go wild like a maniac anytime I heard it.

Then I discuss the joys of driving my coworker crazy and play a game of heroin addict or just very sleepy.

Plus I tell you about a song that I still love but have difficulties listening to anymore and discuss the dilemma of separating the music of an artist from the actual person.

Some truly great contributions from listeners this week and for future episodes so THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THAT. Lots of great stuff coming up the next few weeks, so stay tuned.

I called a last minute audible this week, and decided to focus on two important emails received in the anonymous box instead of the show I had planned.

First, I read some unique feedback from the audience and preview the next few weeks of shows including a bonus homework assignment for a future episode.

Then we get a Dead Said Truth from a listener who is plagued by the weight of secrets they are keeping.

Finally we hear from a man stuck in a confusing love triangle that is taking it's toll on his mental health and he wants some advice from AFC nation on his situation.

All this and much much more.

Homework assignment for next week: Listen to the submission from K and give your take on it. What advice would you offer? Did I miss anything in my assessment? Was my advice totally wrong and full of shit? What say you?

Since I called an audible at the last minute, this homework assignment also still applies: Do you consider yourself an Introvert or Extrovert? Loner or people person? Tell me why or why not. Be as vague or detailed as you like. It's all anonymous and helps fuel the show.

For this episode, due to my work schedule, we take a break from the anonymous box but don't worry lots of great stuff to cover on the next show.

So this week, it's back to basics. Just me talking to you about whatever pops into my brain, while I drive of course.

This week, my mom and I get lost in a parking garage, I give myself really bad dreams, nature attacks before my very eyes, and a coworker of mine makes a statement that I must bring to AFC nation to break down and discuss.

All this and much much more.
