Hello and welcome to episode 188, 1st segment topics include: The first total Eclipse of the Sun, for the US in 99 years, is happening today so we attempt to sing an A Capella karaoke rendition of Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart" to appease the Eclipse Gods (starts at 9:56 ends around 11:55, just in case you want to fast forward through our AMAZING performance), Donald Trump doesn't really condemn White Supremacy in Charlottesville and Marty tells a story of how NOT to transport a propane grill. In the 2nd segment we talk to Gina DeSantis, an artist who throws fucking amazing pottery and is a BIG Patrick Swayze fan (duh). Definitely check everything Gina DeSantis out at www.ginadesantisceramics.com (interview starts at the 51:52 mark). In the 3rd segment we wrap it all up with another glorious A Capella karaoke performance, this time of the Smash Mouth "classic" "Walkin' On The Sun" (if you're smart you'll skip this one too from 01:58:23 - 01:59:39). All that and so much more on this weeks Monday Eclipse Special Edition of theDAMNcast!

Hello and welcome to episode 187, topics include: Nazis are alive and well in Charlottesville (punch one today), Sex Dolls are more high maintenance than some actual women and Egyptians had some freaky sex practices. All that and so much more on this weeks Thursday edition of theDAMNcast!

Well guys it's just you and Me (Acacia) for a half hour. This felt very intimate, but there's a few funny stories in here. So hang in there.

I grew up in a fairy unique circumstance. I was the youngest of 3 girls. My middle sister Tonya was diagnosed with Autism in the late 70's, awhile after being burned in a house fire when she was 3 years old. I've seen people at their best and worst. It makes you appreciate kindness when you see it because it is not as common as we'd all like to think. Everyone can muster a smile and nice word for cute child, but it takes heart to smile as someone who frightens you.

This is such a small introduction to the storms that my family and I have weathered. I don't share this for sympathy but to add to the "collective" of understanding. I am more thankful for the lessons learned and character built than the scars beneath surface. I was more a witness than anything. nevertheless, it's apart of who I am. Some of us are changed by the gradual winds over years, drown by the flash floods, left to die alone in the desert, and others burned alive. Survival is survival under any element. If you're breathing you're surviving. There are beautiful moments within the pain and struggle, but you'll have to open your eyes to see them.

Hello and welcome to this weeks Monday edition. We start off the show reading and discussing the DAMN Sarahah anonymous comments challenge. We asked our listeners to submit anonymous reviews ,via the app Sarahah, and we agreed to submit a review too. Then we each tried to guess which review we thought were ours (if that makes any sense?). Let's just say that it didn't go as smoothly as it could have. In the 2nd segment we talk to comedian Tom Simmons on the phone (interview starts at the 43:32 mark). Tom has been on the show before and is part of the American Heretics Comedy Tour, as well as a very blunt Little League Baseball coach. We have an absolute blast talking to Tom, definitely check all things Tom Simmons out at tomsimmonscomedy.com. Unfortunately Marty had to leave for 3rd segment, but Acacia and Curtis wrap it up with a conversation about Fucking Flossing! All that and so much more on this weeks Monday edition of theDAMNcast!

Hello and welcome to another Thursday Edition of theDAMNcast. This version of the show used to be called "2nd Show", but as you'll hear, WE decided (Acacia) to drop the name "2nd Show" and just refer to this version as the "Thursday Edition", and by the end of the show Curtis agrees (it takes him a little while to warm up to new ideas, he's a titch slow sometimes, just one of his endearing qualities). Anyway, this episode is chalked full of topics including Trumps "Fire and Fury" fuels tension with North Korea, Designer Babies are soon to be a reality and after a Woman was shot in the Vagina while being Fucked by a Gun, we wonder if "Gun Rape" is an actual sexual fetish so we consult an expert (Porn Hub) to find out. All that and so much more on a very topic heavy Thursday Edition of theDAMNcast!

So, I guess Acacia's experimenting with the "one on one" aspect of Podcasting. Zeljko (Lou) McMullen, an old friend, takes the time to share his Oracle Tarot powers to talk through some new avenues and obstacles Acacia has been facing. He gives a lovely explanation of the Tarot and is available for some readings, if you're interested. They talk a bit about the ego and how weird it would be to be "enlightened". Getting into some weird shit now!?! Hope you enjoy!

Hello and welcome to episode 184. This week we welcome our friend Adam and his friends Paul and Alaina to sit in for first segment. Topics include: What it's like to be from Camaroon (Paul is from Camaroon), Adam got propositioned by his high school Spanish teacher and "what's the worst thing you've done to a complete stranger?". In the 2nd segment we talk to Aerialist and Acrobat Ollie Lulu aka Ziska (Diane Ziska). She's a Cleveland based artist and a fucking amazing young talent! In the 3rd segment we wrap it up with a story about Marty kayaking and a drunken discussion on Single Payer Healthcare. All that and so much more on this overly personal episode of theDAMNcast!

Mark and Acacia recorded their pilot episode of "Welcome to Markacia." That's the "working" title currently and it works. The premise is sharing stories, feelings, and philosophies on life, emotion and beyond. This episode Mark shares stories where he was the White Knight of Pizza Delivery, righting the world one pizza at a time. Then they talk about weird mental disorders. Once they hit Jerusalem Syndrome, Acacia goes down the road of no return talking about "what if the passion of the Christ had less to do with crucifixion and more to do with orgasms?". When people in texts describe God's presence they say it feels like, Joy, Ecstasy, wholeness, unconditional love. It sounds an awful lot like a good time;) So here it is, another show... I know, right? We need to get over ourselves. But it is just too much fun! Deal with it!

Hello and welcome to 2nd Show 14. This week we are joined in studio by former guest Byron and his "significant other" Courtney. Byron makes fucking amazing Vintage Tube Amplifiers and is just an all around amazing guy (seriously, he only sleeps 3 hours a night and thinks bacon smells worse than shit). Topics include: Trump Fires Scaramucci, Acacia rides A Rubber Bull/Rhino and we ask the question "what part of Mother Nature would you Fuck?". All that and so much more on this weeks 2nd Show 14 of theDAMNcast!

Hello and welcome to episode 183, 1st segment topics include: Scaramucci talks shit about Bannon and Preibus to the New Yorker, we conclude that Lebron James probably has a decent size penis but it looks small on him and Acacia introduces everyone to Necropants. No guest this week, but Mark is sitting in studio. We wrap it all up with some reminiscing about our Raver days (again) and Trump now wants to ban Transgenders from serving in the Military. All that, and some light bullying from Mark, on this week's Monday episode of theDAMNcast!
