All About the Biscuits episodes

  • Minimum Standards

    Some episodes are funny.
    Some are uncomfortable.
    This one is about standards.

    In this episode of All About the Biscuit, I start with light—grape juice mistaken for coffee, freezing dog walks, and the small absurdities of everyday life—but it quickly turns into a deeper conversation about accountability, responsibility, and how we treat people when no one’s looking.

    We talk about nostalgia and why shows like Stranger Things hit so hard, the growing literacy crisis and why passing kids who can’t read helps no one, and the uncomfortable truth that parenting doesn’t stop at protection—it requires presence and responsibility.

    Then we get serious.

    After watching a new documentary on Alabama’s prison system, I unpack what “do the crime, do the time” really means when inmates are living in conditions that fall below any reasonable human standard—overcrowding, filth, corruption, and a system profiting off labor while offering no real solutions. This isn’t about leniency. It’s about whether there’s a line we shouldn’t cross as a society.

    This episode isn’t here to tell you what to think.
    It’s here to ask what we’re willing to accept—from parents, leaders, systems, and ourselves.

  • BONUS - Pour One & Pass the Biscuit

    BONUS EPISODE 🧈

    For the first time, All About the Biscuit passes the mic.

    In this bonus conversation with Pour One & Pass the Biscuit, we get into education, skilled trades, work ethic, and why the “one path fits all” mindset is failing more people than it helps.

    This isn’t about college vs. trades — it’s about honest options, real preparation, and conversations we avoid but shouldn’t.

    Sometimes you’ve got to pour one, pass the biscuit, and tell the truth.

  • Loud Mornings, Quiet Secrets, and Who's Really Being Parented

    Some mornings you wake up sick, loud, and dropping everything in the house — and sometimes that chaos feels like a perfect snapshot of the world we’re living in.

    In this episode of All About the Biscuit, I mix humor with hard truth, from klutzy mornings and public FaceTime disasters to why paying bills online feels harder than it should. Then we slow it down and talk about family — the loss of the dinner table, secrets no one addresses, golden children, money after death, and what happens when parents protect instead of parent.

    A true-crime conversation about Martha Moxley becomes a bigger reflection on accountability, silence, and how families quietly break when no one talks.

    It’s funny, uncomfortable, and honest.
    If you’ve ever wondered, “Who raised you?” or felt like common sense is disappearing — hit play.

  • Kindness, Anger, and a Chocolate Crime Scene

    What happens when kindness beats politics, anger goes viral, friendship gets real, and a protein shake makes you look like you crapped yourself?

    In this episode of All About the Biscuit, I bounce between laughter, frustration, and some honest reflection on the world we’re living in right now. We talk about a 20-year-old mayor in a tiny Iowa town who won simply by showing up and being kind—proof that leadership doesn’t have to be loud or angry to work.

    Then we dive into why so many people seem permanently furious on social media, yelling into their phones and forgetting they’re live for the world to see. When did outrage become the personality?

    I also slow it down for a real moment—sharing what it felt like to learn that a longtime friend is quietly battling alcoholism, and why showing up matters more than fixing anyone.

    And because life has a sense of humor, we wrap it all with a chocolate protein shake disaster that turned my car seat—and my dignity—into a crime scene.

    This episode is funny, raw, a little spicy, and very human.
    If you’ve ever laughed at the absurd, questioned the anger, or needed a reminder that decency still exists—this one’s for you.

  • Salty Showers, Busy People, & Holiday Cleanup

    Everyone’s Busy… Cool.


    This week on All About the Biscuit, we’re calling out the weird flex of modern life: when “being busy” becomes a personality trait. You know the type—always slammed, always behind, always “circling back” three days later.


    Spoiler alert: Being busy doesn’t automatically mean important. Sometimes it just means disorganized, bad at communicating, or dodging a simple text back.

    We talk about the difference between actually busy and chronically unavailable, how slow responses create unnecessary chaos, and why basic communication skills shouldn’t be a luxury item.

    And before anyone gets defensive—yes, this podcast is still a work in progress. I’m figuring it out in real time, getting better every week, and probably calling myself out just as much as anyone else. Growth over perfection.

    Expect laughs, a few uncomfortable truths, and that moment where you realize… yeah, this one might be about you. Or someone you know who’s “swamped” but somehow still online.

    Pull up a seat. Grab a biscuit. Let’s talk about it.
