PDX Sucks

Complain here. Go on, you know you want to.

In which our hero endeavors to make sense of celebrity excuses, acquire a chicken sandwich slathered with hot mayonnaise, defends the right of every entrepreneur to create their creations, and laughs at what a loser the loser of last night's Presidential debate is.

It's back to school day! And what better way to celebrate than to learn all about how bicyclists don't have to stop at stop signs anymore (except for when they do), how Fred Meyer employees dare ask for more and better, how the Supreme Court doesn't care about you whatsoever, and how entitled podcasters can all go f**k themselves.

My quest for a mostly analog existence continues but that would mean a dramatic reduction in stupid social media arguments over whether or not Nintendo is making worthwhile video games in 2024. Why this matters I do not know but fanboys are going to fanboy. In other news, Pearl Jam rocks. Thanks Tom.

Frustrated with a) people's inability to hold themselves (or others) accountable and b) the ever-growing problem of drug-fueled crime in our fair city, our hero decides to go for a walk, clear his head, and try to make sense out of the world. Spoiler Alert: he doesn't succeed.

Health scares, dog scares, future scares, and maybe a few other random scares. Scares are the topic of this one. Bottom line: I don't want to die, I don't want to talk about my scooter, and I don't want the guy at the food cart to give a woman a discount that she doesn't need nor deserve. That is all.

What began as a simple Happy Holidays episodes turns into a complete trainwreck thanks to Gary the Cat, the Portland Police Department, and the DLZ Creator Super Duper Podcast Recorder by Mackie.

Chandler's passing and Lady Gaga's really, really bad headaches have nothing on my disappointment in missing Halloween after buying my first costume in years. Fortunately, I'll get an extra hour to think about it this weekend. Yay?

This would be a return to form if I ever had form to begin with. Instead, it's a quick check-in to reveal my (mostly) legitimate excuses for staying away from microphones for a while. Topics include: 31st Ave W and Fecal Street, Happy Birthday to Me, People LOVE podcast ads, and Danger is my middle name.

Tales of fire, rock'n'roll, travel, jet lag, corporate radio shmucks, and more! But really, this one is all about answering the question: "What does it really mean to create?"

More infuriating than anonymous emails, new social platforms, and voice acting failures is the public gushing over Bruce Springsteen & the Michelle Obama Vocal Choir - a new film by Steven Spielberg.
