In this episode, I explore my past regarding my favorite restuarant as a kid. I reminisce about what it was like for me as a small child, and marvel at how it hadn't changed a bit as an adult. I also tackle the topic of people on social media who lash out at others who merely post how they're feeling. Instead of support, these people offer criticism and judgement. I go off on that type attitude.

I talk about the hypocrisy that exists among the ranks of digital photographers. Who decides how much manipulation is acceptable and how much is too much? And when everyone's manipulating their images, does anyone really have the right to point fingers? I also discuss the topic of competitive chasing and ranking yourself as a chaser.

I discuss the psychology of the chaser and how they are their own worst enemies. Overthinking situations and waivering on decision making are two of the biggest pitfalls to successful chasing. Learning to forecast on your own - and to an even greater degree - learning to TRUST that forecast, is key to hands-on success....both in chasing and in life itself.

I discuss what I believe to be the most overrated event in chasing. I also lament about the continued total lack of wintery weather anywhere near me.

I talk about two classic F/EF scale tornado rating case controversies and give my opinion on which way they should go. I also discuss people on social media who "play meteorologist" and mislead people into false security regarding their weather information.

I discuss everything 2020 transitioning to 2021. Individual perceptions regarding the changing of the calendar year and its psychological effects. American citizens as a whole pulling together to take the proper steps in protecting each other from further COVID spread. The US Government and its seemingly unwillingness to be able to help its own people.

I unload everything that's been swirling around in my brain the past week over the Holidays, including Karen videos, Pandemic whining and whether or not "Die Hard" is a Christmas movie.

This episode is all about everyone's favorite holiday: Christmas. I discuss both the good and bad aspects of the season that I've observed both through my own personal experiences as well as how I see it within the world at large.

I discuss the modern trend of "cancel culture" and cite examples, pointing out the flaw in its logic. I also talk about modern kids whose do-nothing lives will one day equate to no stories as adults. I also muse over the popularity of chicken and waffles, and offer my own version of sweet and savory.
