As you can probably tell from the title, I introduce a new installment called Dad to Dad in this episode. I will be including more dads, and their stories, on the podcast. I decided to kick it all off with a very cool cucumber of a guy. This dude is super chill, a little wacky, an AMAZING musician, and a great father. Tune in for some guaranteed shenanigans.

What do new installments, fast-talking, Stockholm Syndrome, dubstep, a plant-based doctor, Netflix original movies, Willem Dafoe, and energy drinks all have in common? Pretty much nothing, other than all being jammed into the following two segments. My original idea for episode 12 got a little derailed, so I had to improvise with more random ramblings. Please make sure that your seat backs and tray tables are in the upright and locked position, and buckle up, because it's go time.

Just as the title suggests, this one is chock-full of recent randomness. I touch on what I've been up to lately, including what podcast I've been listening to, what movie just blew my mind, and how and why the DMV relates to the afterlife.

I find great triumph in patience and research. There's a certain confidence behind coming to a conclusion, or forming a new opinion, based on unbiased data. Gathering information from various sources and perspectives, carefully sorting through it all, and then feeling well informed...that's a recipe for success! We as a society often approach certain subjects seeking affirmation. I strive to be open-minded, and challenge old beliefs and outdated understandings. In this episode, I offer suggestions on how you can do the same.

I implore you all to be open-minded for the next 30 minutes, while I make a bit of a confession, share my experiences with veganism, as well as some cold, hard facts about how it has trended in the U.S., and other places around the globe. Included is a partial list of confirmed celebrity vegans. Thank you in advance. "Veganism is the practice of abstaining from the use of animal products, particularly in diet, and an associated philosophy that rejects the commodity status of animals. A follower of the diet or the philosophy is known as a vegan." [Wikipedia]

I'm a bit of a cinephile, and feeling compelled to share my passion of motion pictures, I gathered a list of preferred films from some family and friends for you all. Tune in as I share the entirety of that list, along with a few honorable mentions. I offer suggestions on how to procure some of these titles, and urge all of you to revisit these classics!

A two segment episode highlighting the correlations between physical health and mental well-being. I also explain some highlights from a study I discovered on how something as simple as a daily walking regimen can VASTLY improve your overall condition, reduce the risk of certain diseases, and likely increase your lifespan.

This episode is a great example of how my A.D.D. often times takes the wheel. One of my alter egos, Gunter Fahrenheit, introduces the first segment, and then we hear from some of my friends and family about their struggles with social anxiety. We also share some of the techniques we all use to try to overcome these sometimes crippling feelings. I hope you like!

An impromptu (and by far the longest to date) episode that I was overly excited to record. I "interview" both of my daughters, one on one, to give you a feel for our relationship(s) and how we typically interact. We talk about executing tasks together, our collective love for music, Steve Perry, Hugh Jackman, musicals, our group dynamic, and what we all have in common. Enjoy!

Grab some popcorn, sit back, relax, and enjoy hearing about some fantastically selfless gestures by a wonderful human being. Hopefully, you'll find yourself as inspired as I am by Ms. Carlee McDot.
