The Buddhist AF Podcast

Tonight…
I check in on what I’ve been up to—still playing Hogwarts Legacy (no Quidditch, sadly),
and reading about the mysterious Bridgewater Triangle.

The main conversation, though, is about separation—not from my wife, don’t worry—
but from the podcast itself.

I talk through the idea of breaking it into clearer lanes for stories, history, and mythology,
and what that might look like going forward.

Tonight…
I’m recovering from last week’s breakdown.
Alex is back in school, I’m fighting off a cold,
and we ease back in with talk of my new favorite game
and just how many copies of one game I apparently own.
Healing, routine, and comfort topics.

Tonight…
We start out light—
a new phone and my thoughts on subscription software.
Then the conversation takes a darker turn,
as I talk honestly about a downward spiral I didn’t see coming.

Tonight…
We dive into the world of at-home DNA testing kits—
from 23andMe to AncestryDNA.
What these tests actually reveal, how your genetic data is used,
and the ethical questions around privacy and consent that don’t get talked about enough.

Tonight…
We explore the often-missed signs of male depression—
the ones that don’t always look like sadness,
but still cut just as deep.
Anger, withdrawal, silence, and the things that get overlooked when we don’t know what to look for.

Tonight…
We ask a hard question: why is it so difficult for men to talk about mental health?
This episode unpacks the quiet pressures of masculinity, the hidden cost of emotional repression,
and how those patterns take a toll over time.
Whether you’re struggling yourself or trying to better understand the men in your life,
this is a conversation worth having.

Tonight…
After a brief life update, we talk about how different cultures approach child sleep.
Scandinavian outdoor sleeping, Japanese co-sleeping,
and what these traditions say about comfort, safety, and trust.

Tonight…
We talk about dreams—what they might mean,
why we’re so obsessed with interpreting them,
and why Sigmund Freud was… well, kind of a freak.

Just a quick update on what’s going on.
I’m tired.
And wishing you a happy Memorial Day.
