Eddie and Danielle take a stroll through Rock Run Forest Preserve and slide into a wide-open convo: fall bonfires, fostering a cat, staying situationally aware, and Danielle’s new role supporting young adults with autism—life skills, dignity, and real-world accommodations. They reflect on heavy news, how media shapes us, safety on public transit, and what accountability looks like at work and at home. There’s movie talk, aliens vs. angels, a little casino daydreaming, and a sincere on-air apology for a past off-color joke. Casual, unfiltered, and human—thanks for riding with Casual Conversations.

In this episode, we dive into the wild world of family drama and the art of not minding your business. Inspired by a certain sister-in-law who can’t resist sipping (and spilling) the tea, we break down the funniest, pettiest, and most over-the-top ways people insert themselves into stories that aren’t theirs. From catching cheaters in the act to keeping tabs on everyone’s life updates like it’s a full-time job, this one’s all about the gossip train that never stops.

This one’s just me, chillin’ and talking nonsense. No script, no plan — just bullshitting about whatever pops into my head. From random life stories to dumb pop culture takes, to me asking myself questions nobody asked — it’s pure chaos in podcast form. If you came here looking for deep thoughts… wrong place, buddy. If you came here for vibes and laughs — welcome.

This podcast episode, "Casual Conversations," explores the concept of inter-dimensional beings and The host, Eddie Perez, introduces Karen Holton, an author whose book, Trans-dimensional: Meet the New Neighbors, examines her personal encounters with non-human intelligence and the broader implications for human understanding of reality and consciousness. The discussion aims to shed light on how these "beings" might operate across different time and space dimensions, moving beyond the traditional understanding of alien encounters.

This episode of the Casual Conversations Podcast features a heartfelt discussion between Eddie and Calvin Guerrero. Broadcasting from the front seat of a car, they dive into topics like growing up with autism, navigating complex family relationships, overcoming challenges, and the importance of honesty and boundaries—especially within minority households. Calvin shares personal stories about his upbringing, sibling dynamics, and journey into fatherhood, offering listeners an honest and relatable look at life, growth, and resilience.

🎙️ Casual Conversations Podcast – Ep. 5: Testing My New Equipment

This episode is a little different—we’re bringing you behind the scenes as we test out our brand-new podcast setup! Join me, my wife, and even our daughter as we play around with the microphones, share some laughs, and talk about random things while figuring out the gear. It’s unscripted, raw, and full of those little moments that make podcasting fun.

If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to start fresh with new equipment, or just want to hear a family vibe together in front of the mics, this one’s for you. Expect plenty of laughs, some trial-and-error, and a taste of what’s coming in future episodes.

The host reflects on relationships, honesty, and the challenges of love, drawing from personal experiences with family, divorce, and his own marriage. He discusses the complexities of cheating, the importance of self-acceptance, and the tendency for people to judge others without self-reflection. The episode includes anecdotes about growing up, living in difficult circumstances, and finding stability through his wife and child. The host emphasizes not living with regret, being unapologetically himself, and the value of having a few loyal supporters rather than seeking universal approval. He also touches on the pressures of podcasting, the impact of criticism, and his commitment to continue sharing raw, unfiltered stories. The tone is candid, humorous, and at times somber, with a message of resilience and authenticity.

Casual Conversations Podcast – Ep. 3

In this episode, we dive deep into the fine art of being an ugly little dude — and loving every second of it. From dodging mirrors to developing elite-level personality skills, I unpack the perks of rocking the kind of face that makes babies cry and grandmas squint. No guests, no filters, just me and my unapologetic-ally unfortunate genetics. Tune in, laugh, and maybe learn how to embrace your own little ugly glory.

In this unfiltered ride of chaos, host Eddie Perez goes solo — no guest, just raw thoughts. From a bizarre PSA about meat-eating squirrels (you’ve been warned) to unapologetic rants on politics, friendships, and family drama, nothing’s off the table. The sound might be garbage, but the opinions are gold… or at least entertaining.
