In this episode, I am joined by science fiction and horror writer Matt Adcock to talk about his theological sci-fi book "Complete Darkness." We discuss far-future tech, religious A.I. systems, mapping dark matter, and battling Satan in a mech suit. So come live, laugh, love along with us in this dystopian romp we call life. 

Much like anacondas in the Everglades, we have found that Florida Man is also an invasive species in the otherwise beautiful and verdant state of Florida. Sex robots might be the key to pacifying right-wing extremists. And stockpiling assault rifles in your house may be a sign of depression. All this and more in this episode with comedian Sasha Srbulj. 

In this episode, I am joined by wilderness survival expert and special co-host Ramsey Demeter to analyze and discuss the very controversial book "How to Blow Up a Pipeline" by pioneer climate theorist Andreas Malm. We face questions like: At what point does peaceful protest become ineffective? Are the governments of the largest producers of carbon emissions unable or unwilling to make changes? And I hope you enjoy the first ever My Views Are My Own Book Club. 

In this episode, comedian and actress Kristen Lundberg leaps out of a Mountain Dew commercial and into our hearts. People expected a lot of the first episode of season 2 of this podcast, and I'm proud to say that through diplomacy, Kristen and I were able to downgrade the War on Christmas to an "extended military engagement." We discuss recent news from the family behind "Hanson" and whether or not a talented Pilates instructor could take on a lazy Navy SEAL. 

In this episode, I am joined by author, journalist, and expert in pathological narcissism Sam Ray to discuss the joys of having so many world leaders who display psychopathic and narcissistic tendencies. Sam Ray is gracious enough to explain many of these concepts to me through the allegories of X-Men and Star Wars. I learn that psychopaths and sociopaths are two different things, and so can you! 

Nayra Martín Reyes' latest art exhibit is a combination of visually stunning paintings and vivid performance art portraying the glory of the vulva. Recently, Nayra Reyes and Patrick Ford took a break from their exhibit in Milan to talk with me about challenging the patriarchal norms of our society, the joys of touring and performing, the history of the Canary Islands, and why more fruits look like vulvas and more vegetables look like penises. 

In this episode, the amazing artist and metalworker Ashtine Rieke describes to me how she fabricates and designs metal flower blooms inspired by the flora of the Pacific Northwest. We try to find out if Brazilian booty lifts are the secret to staying comfortable on long flights. And there's a one in twelve chance I will read your horoscope. 

As a distinguished gentleman of fortune and glory, it's still important for me to answer the eternal question: Is it lit? That's why I invited stand-up comedian, actress, and filmmaker Shannon Hardy to help find the answers that society is urgently seeking.

If there's anything that going to one semester of film school taught me, it's that you're not supposed to criticize Stanley Kubrick. That's why I brought a voice of reason, gnarly wilderdude, and thoughtful film analyst Brandon Case to compare one of Kubrick's most famous films to its sequel that most people haven't watched and that was made by a different director. Fun for the whole family! Is The Shining a romp? Is Doctor Sleep a better romp? The only way you could possibly find out the answer to these questions is to listen to this podcast.
