Content by a human, not AI (at least, not yet)

Josh is back and ready to describe his miserable battles with insomnia, his observations of hotel lobby clerks, his hopes for battling natural disasters, his reentry into therapy, his views of politicians, his distaste for modern ice creameries, his faith in humanity, his theory on stoned apes, and his goals for natural healing. Highs and lows, ups and downs, gratitude and anxiety all rolled into one big fat crepe drizzled in Nutella. That got a bit French toward the end.

Gambling Addiction by Rick's advice

Welcome to the debut of Josh's daughter Myla on the podcast. Prior to this exclusive interview with a first grader who just turned 7, Josh finds time to address smelly hotels, the predictability of aging, the boredom of wine country, the lunacy of orthodoxy, the repression of religion, the irrelevance of letters of rec, the scent of cedar balsam and the bizarre world of older folks bringin' their dogs all around town. This one is quite a ride, but in the end, you'll feel satisfied, as Myla delivers when the mic goes on! Wishing you all good health and happiness as we move closer to the holiday season.
