It's a weird one, but that just might become standard. I have a lot to say about the pandemic and the direction I fear society is heading, but no matter what you believe about the future, right now is a really good time to do some introspection and feel out how to better yourselves. I love you all. Please be smart.

No political talk this week -- yay! Things are weird and will continue to get even weirder. Time feels increasingly irrelevant, days blur together, but I talk about the events of the past week that stick out to me most. Also, I'm turning 30 in a few days, so I hope I remember when April 7 hits.

I need to stop with these really long episode titles, but that's the product of this quarantine. I'm not thriving at the moment. However, I'm actively trying to change that. I thought putting this podcast on YouTube might be a good creative challenge, but that proved to be too time consuming, so I'm ultimately holding off. In this episode I share some insights I had during last weekend's mushroom trip. Unfortunately, the thing I spend most of this episode discussing is the sexual assault allegation on Joe Biden. I hope next week's episode is completely free of politics!

Episode 26 is nice and brief, as I had waiting for me some pancakes with Nutella and magic mushrooms. (In a time of crisis, I've got my priorities right.) I think we can stop with the toilet paper memes. I also think we should take a good look at ourselves and try to curb our own toxic traits that have risen to the surface now that we have fuck-all to do. I had my fantasy baseball draft last night despite the 2020 MLB season possibly not happening. I wrote this description while tripping. Hope it makes sense.

This coronavirus is really fucking everything up, logistically at the very least. This could really screw over my plans to see King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard in April and May and I'm losing my damn mind. I spent this episode trying to find more silver linings in all this COVID panic than problems caused, which was likely futile. I think it's, like, 60-40: problems caused to silver linings. It's a bit of a bummer, to be honest. However, I have made a prediction as to the 2020 word of the year. So there's that.

In Episode 24, I recap some of the highlights of my trip to Spring Training in Arizona, including the story of a wacky autograph collector doling out bad advice to his kids and a stand-up show I got to do at the Tempe Improv. Given the tumultuous week of Super Tuesday, I felt compelled to talk politics for the final 45 minutes of this episode. (Feel free to turn this off after the 29-minute mark if you're trying to escape political talk.)

I'm super caffeinated and about to hit the road to Arizona, where I'll be taking in some Spring Training baseball by day and performing standup comedy by night! I talk about a new podcast I'm working on and Nazis. Naturally, I segue into my take on the Houston Astros' oral fart fest of a press conference in which they showed they're incapable of remorse, giving credence to the notion that they're sociopaths. (At least they're just cheating at baseball and not murdering people.) How would I have handled the Astros scandal if I were the MLB commish? Find out in Episode 22!

Had to cancel a standup appearance and wait for AAA in my own driveway when I locked myself out of both my car and apartment last night. Luckily I'm a thinker and keep a spare house key in my car. This wasn't the worst time I've ever locked myself out, though. Listen to Episode 21 for the full story!

It's the 20th episode! I have the pleasure of bringing on and talking with my big sister in comedy and spiritual adviser, Kristy Belich. We're swapcasting this conversation, as it is also featured on Kristy's own podcast, "Solar Plexus and Chill." She's been back in Los Angeles for just a week after a hell ride aboard several Greyhound buses from Maryland and recharged her batteries with me in the desert.
