Still Sober with John Rabon episodes

  • 136. I've Grown as a Person. Ugh.
    I discuss my control issues at the grocery store; flyers stapled to telephone poles; Being envious of people going out during the pandemic as well as being envious of others' career success; vaccine "immunity".
    33 min
  • 134. The 'You Deserve a Break' Episode
    I left "today" off of the title because it has nothing to do with fast food. It has everything to do with, "hey, there's a lot going on with the world this week, let me distract you with a few things that I find interesting/irritating".
    28 min
  • 133. I Don't Like Anything New
    I get back to s**t talking, this time about mob mentality. Also, I go into how I'm not into change.
    Side note: I censored "s**t" in this description, because for some reason it's better to keep it clean in the text? I don't know, I have not researched that at all, and none of it probably matters at all.

  • 128. I Believe in Jesus or Something!

    This episode is definitely more upbeat than last week, and I talk about why. I brag about my Smeg. I realize that's weird.

    Hey, I also rant about comedy and the pandemic a bit, but I think I made a good point. Or, I think I made a good point?

  • 127. Waiting Out the Panic

    Just a quick episode this week dealing with the reality of trying to find work during a pandemic at the end of the year when those benefits are running out. More importantly, I talked about the temporary dread I was feeling until it finally subsided. What a time to be alive, am I right?
