I read a book!

What the hell is that noise?

Every heartbeat belongs to... Amy Grant.

Join me for another fun episode of Contrary Gardens!!

Welcome back!

You all look so pretty and/or handsome today.

New season, new theme music, same host.

Find out why I took a break, some words I can't pronounce, gay subtexts in our media, and so much more on this new episode of your favorite podcast, Contrary Gardens!

This week I am trying something new, we are making the podcast available on video. 

It was fun to make and I do love a chance to edit. 

I hope you enjoy it and that you can feel free to spread the word. 

Tell your friends and family, who don't mind a bit of cursing, and we can spread the fun.

Happy Weekend, my people!

mare :)

I took a quiz to see if I am codependent.

I am going to take another quiz later on, to see if I am left-handed. 

It's obvious quiz results day!

Also, I have an update on my guest bathroom. 

Did you get me an egg bagel?

Episode 15 marks a return to the closet recording, no guests, just a little complaining and a little about the Oscars.

I gotta share my view of the Oscars, even though it's all been said. 

Also I guessed 11 out of the 23 winners, so that's not too bad.

Enjoy!!

Check out Comedian and author Robin Savage and your favorite podcaster (that would be me) as we shoot the shit and tell stories from our glory days in standup comedy. Well, I don't know if I would call them glory days, but we definitely had some laughs. 

Tune in to hear us ramble about weird open mics, home renovations and cats.

Full disclosure: a couple Michelob Ultras were consumed prior to taping, and they were delicious. 

Yes, I am still looking for sponsors.

We made it to the finale of the 2022 Awards Season with tonight's telecast of the Academy Awards, better known as the Oscars.

Listen in to catch my predictions for all the major categories, even some technical ones that are not being presented live, but will be edited into the telecast.

Who will you be wearing?

I will be wearing flannel pjs. 

and I'm keeping them.

This 13th episode of Contrary Gardens is dedicated to my nephew Jason Tischbein, taken from us in 2017 by diabetes. Happy Birthday in Heaven, Jas. 

Things and stuff and stuff and things. Save us a good table in the back.

Hug your people. Love you!

Well well well. 

If it isn't awards season. 

Here come the Oscars and have I got a treat for you Contrary Gardians and Marbians. 

Shhh, it'll catch on.

I have my filmmaker nephew Maxwell Keller here to tell you all his Oscar predications and he even provides a special rant about the snubs.

It's a 2-parter!

Enjoy every morsel. 

love you!

Things continue to happen. It's getting exciting. What? You think I'm gonna give it away here? Oh please. If you wanna know what's going on, you can listen to the podcast. I will be grateful to you forever, and a day.

It's award season! Forgive me for saying the BAFTAs are today, that's wrong! The BAFTAs are next week, March 13. The Independent Spirit Awards are on today, March 6th. oops!

Are you doing something different with your hair? It's cute!

Go. Listen. 

Love you!
