Originally aired October 30th, 2019. Eight episodes in, the gang wants to try a live-stage podcast, but doesn't quite nail it. What they do end up doing really well is having a shitload of bar-sounds in the background, not hearing each other very well and telling some personal spooky stories. Loren starts with a comedic retelling of a real horror story that happened to him, and as the stories go along they become gradually more spooky.

Originally aired October 23rd, 2019. Loren decides to discuss the differences between monogamy, non-monogamy and polyamory. They discuss how all of these options can have their own merit and value. We seem to think that some people can and some people can do these things. Monogamy, non-monogamy and polyamory may not be for everyone.

Originially aired: October 16th, 2019: We sit down outside on a lovely morning and discuss their band, and Ron's father joins us for a little while to discuss his thoughts. We then bring Ron back in for a meandering conversation about Dune, Sci-Fi, and a lot of other strange things.

Originally published October 10th, 2019: A good friend named Joe comes onto the show to tell us about some wild stuff. He's interesting as all hell, has thousands of stories, and is very funny. We had a lot of fun making this one.

Original description: "The Bois are joined by Mr. Joe Dacey as they discuss, honestly, just some crazy shit.  Like, why the fuck was China tryin'a send tortoises to space?  Why the fuck have we not known that Happy Birthday was copyrighted?  Also WHO THE FUCK IS JEFFREY (Geoffrey?) THE MONGOOSE?!  Welcome to Black Sheep And Bad Apples."

Originally aired October 4th, 2019. In this episode the podcast has finally been named, so they sit with their friend Ivyl to take a look at failure and how it might not always be as bad as we think it is. We share stories of when our personal failures may have made some of the best things in our lives. Failing upwards seems to be an option.

Original description: "They've finally decided the name of the podcast. Black Sheep and Bad Apples spends some time with their good friend and special guest Ivyl,  as they discuss how failure has affected them and whether failing is always a bad thing."

Originally aired September 26th, 2019, episode three is yet another meandering conversation about various things. Still unscripted, the guys get together for a chat about politics, Greta Thumburg, and the importance of voting.

Original description:

"In episode three we talk about 'PoLiTiCs'. Come join us as we talk about  our WORD OF THE DAY, how important is to vote, and as always BAND BEEF."

Originally aired: September 19th, 2019. Episode 2 of the Black Sheep and Bad Apples podcast was still unscripted, but with slightly better topics. The first guest, Casey McWilliams, comes on to discuss how inspiration finds us, and how we go about creating everything from poetry and writing to music and art.

Original description: "Episode 2 of the as yet untitled podcast invites you to participate in  the naming of the show. Liking and commenting will help us figure out  what to name this bitch.  Also titled "Creative Process," we have poet Casey McWilliams on the show to talk about poetry, music, and the process of creating art. Ron's grandmother is also mentioned, as well as an episode full of plugs.  Which kind?"

Originally published on September 12th, 2019. This is the first episode of the later named Black Sheep and Bad Apples podcast. This episode is unscripted, unlike the later episodes. It's not as informational as the later episodes, but it's where we started. 18 years after the event, we discuss were we were when 9-11 happened. Explicit content.

Original description: "This is the first episode of The Loren O'Brien Show, which is a working title. As you will hear in this episode, the guys trapped in 4th Corner Productions are letting you, the listener, help us make the decision about what we call it, while we talk about band beef, a spittoon and where we were when 9-11 happened.

Enjoy. 

*Edit* Now renamed Black Sheep and Bad Apples!"
