I can not describe this episode. It was recorded on June 5th, and I’m writing this description on Oct. 12. So, just listen?

I complain about Westchester and take a shower…

I recorded this episode a week and a half ago, and I don’t remember what I said…

My dad had an operation.

I made an AI version of my voice, I am a horrible friend, and Cousin Ronny (River) is a cowboy…

Cousin River’s new show is Ranch America on the Outdoor Channel, starting next month.

I switched to “less expensive” health insurance, tried to get AI to make me a Me, and finally fixed the washer and dryer…I think.

I bought a Koke Zeero laced with cyanide, got new glasses that are useless, called in “sick,” and tried to fix the leaking shower…

I talk about Hugo, our dog.

I talk about not wanting to go to the “Black Chipotle,” getting COVID twice, the proper way to write an obituary, Lighthouse Spaceship & card tricks, bald guy hair maintenance, and how I am no good at reacting to getting a traffic ticket…
