Josh turned 40 today. And oh yeah, he used to have shoulder hair. Used to.

Headache artfully crafted by daughters

Josh sounds a little scared in this episode, but the topic of fear is worth exploring. So get ready to explore some frightening things like bear attacks, rattlesnake bites, Covid work emails, sharks, sleeplessness, snoring, robot teachers, home invasions, chubby babies, and greasy hands at restaurants. Folks, it's time to find those micro sources of joy and embrace'em. Now, inhale through the nose to the count of 4. Focus on that moment before it becomes an exhale. Aaaaaand, out through the mouth to the count of 6. You did it? You feel better? Ahhh, yes, exactly. Highly meditative, highly stimulated, and highly rejuvenated. On Twitter @jrosenberg957. Drop a friendly rating/review on iTunes if y'getta chance.

Aztecs by 7 on Saturday vs. Arizona (c'mon now! 1.5 pt underdogs? N'thanks.)

Okay, likely wayyyyyyyy too much swearing in this one. Apologies. But, if you battle through, Josh attempts to capture the big topics of the day including wildfires (Caldor and Lucas Valley), reporters in the field, Noah's Ark and its actual origin, Don Williams and his love songs, Action Jackson and other 80s videos, and other podcasts. But, forget those other ones for a moment and jump into this one. You are beautiful and you matter. You also can leave a sweet rating/review on iTunes if you feel compelled.

Meditation by Peter Coyote

Josh is back from a straight blur and almost poised enough to discuss human resilience, teachers' fashion concerns, Craigslist mysteries, The White Lotus, Dave, caterpillars, the "woke" generation, and plastic-covered sofas. Dust it off, shake off the rust, and get back in the saddle. Giddy up, good folks, it's time to stream this bad boy. On Twitter @jrosenberg957

Forehead wrinkles by constant furrowed brow

Episode 151, as flammable and unpredictable as Bacardi 151 in some ways. Those ways will be revealed right here with content about cancelling Disney princesses, freestyle rap, podiums, old folks on Facebook, snakes on Nextdoor, students becoming famous (Arden Jones!), and the debut of the new hit segment Jack (Kornfield) and Steve (Wright). It's about to get weird, so take a breath and enjoy this audio experience. On Twitter @jrosenberg957

Stains by baby spit up (among other things)

It's that time again, folks! Time to explore the evolution of the Olympics, time to focus on South Korean television and their approach to the opening ceremony in Tokyo, time to examine the in-flight experience on old-school and new-school airplanes, time to attempt a Barack Obama impression, time to dissect the emotional impact of old photos, and time to declutter the mind, body, and soul. That last part isn't really discussed on the podcast, but it seemed like a great way to end that run-on sentence. Stream away and drop a nice rating/review on iTunes if y'can. You are loved. It's true, simply by listening to this, you are loved. On Twitter @jrosenberg957

Turkey bacon by hunting and packaging and adding artificial flavors

Ohhh this puppy is ready to roll into your ears with some gusto! That's right, GUS-TOHHH! So get ready to hunker down for some Oscar Mayer-grade bologna covering tooth extractions, oral surgeons, enunciation, David Gray's mumbles, autopilot mode for the brain (DMN), dreams capturing the final part of the day, news creeping into REM, recording our lives with our eyes and Black Mirror. That's a straight variety pack, folks! Like the old Lays chips variety pack featuring original potato, sour cream & onion, BBQ, and salt and vinegar. You know which one was the best. You know. And I know you're the best...for listening to this nonsense and even taking the time to enter a quick rating on iTunes (5 stars!? begging is an ugly look, so this is just a subtle nudge). Now stream it!

Puffy cheeks by forgetting to ice'em

Folks, this one is mainly about throw pillows and if that doesn't appeal to you, please do not listen. Or wait, if you feel like there might be some other topics to capture your attention, then it's time for you to evaluate how you feel about classroom furniture, Dolly Parton, new pets, babies, old country legends, Zen Buddhism, Peter Coyote, and Tevin Campbell. You back in? If any of those are in your wheelhouse, then stream this bad boy and enjoy your day. Keep it real, keep it happy, and keep it real again. On Twitter @jrosenberg957. Drop a nice rating on iTunes if you find time.

Organic groceries by Trader Joes, a wonderland of delight

A truly delirious episode has arrived, fully stocked with rants on bears, cauliflower, smokers, seltzer, sleep deprivation, exercise balls, American Tail, Gift of Gab (RIP), and records. This one gets weird and gives you permission to get weird along the way. Let's share something special and aspire for a beautiful state of nirvana in the near future. Spread joy, good folks. Spread it like lox spread on a bialy. What's a bialy? Google it, then bake it, and then enjoy. Just drizzle some olive oil and sprinkle some sea salt (like everything). Okay, farewell.
