In the first bonus episode of onefjef, I talk about where I’m headed next, what’s been pulling at my mind lately, and a few stories from the past that still shape the present. I also announce the winner of the email contest.

I talk with Matt Farley — the wildly prolific musician behind Motern Media, known for recording thousands of songs on Spotify (including the infamous poop tracks). We get into how he built a creative life out of volume, discipline, and weirdness; the reality of DIY filmmaking; why niche art survives in a homogenized America; and what happens when you commit to your own strange corner of the world long enough for it to work. It’s a conversation about making things, finishing things, and not waiting for permission.

You can learn more about Matt and experience more of his work at his website, moternmedia.com, or by searching for your name (with or without poop) on your favorite music listening platform.

Here's a link to Matt performing with his band on NPR's World Cafe a few months ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VI4JgNbomU&t=563s

And here's the New York Times profile on Matt from 2024: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/31/magazine/spotify-matt-farley.html?unlocked_article_code=1.WU8.7Mba.c2GuW3RwvoPS&smid=url-share

I sit down with yoga teacher and energy worker Andi Wesley to talk about sobriety, family patterns, emotional maturity, and the weird space between being introverted and extroverted. We get into micro-dosing, boundaries, healing work, and what it takes to actually change your relationship with yourself. It’s a conversation about clarity, self-awareness, and the long, unglamorous work of growing up.

You can (and should) follow Andi on Instagram at @andiwesley.

You can (and also should) book an energy work session with her Earth Spirit Energy Work at andiwesley.as.me and follow them in Instagram at @earthspiritenergywork

This episode is a story I performed at the Bowery Poetry Club in New York City in 2014 about my first 24 hours in Mexico — a chaotic trip, a lot of bad decisions, and the moment travel stopped feeling theoretical and became real. While I’m away in Ireland, Bing Bong steps in as guest host.

I sit down with Chen Chen — an engineering professor at The Ohio State University — to talk about the future of artificial intelligence, the strange world of esoteric math, and how our brains actually perceive time. We get into the joy of understanding things deeply, why some problems feel impossible until they suddenly click, and what AI might change about how humans think. It’s a conversation about curiosity, complexity, and the pleasure of learning for its own sake.

I sit down with artist, musician, butcher, and writer Jason Wachtelhausen to talk about kosher meat, the strange power of mindful bathing, and what it takes to quit heroin and rebuild a life. We get into Todos Santos, daily rituals, addiction, and the ways small acts of care can pull you back toward yourself. It’s a conversation about recovery, craft, and the quiet discipline it takes to stay alive in your own body.

Emmy-winning producer, yoga teacher, and longtime friend Chris Casey joins me to break down meditation, the nature of reality, David Lynch’s creative philosophy, and why some people weaponize hugging as a personality. We get into emotional repression, daily practice, and the strange ways people avoid their inner life.
