This week my friend Ryan Drops by the Coffee Buzz Studios for a talk about life goals, being creative, robots and the potential take over of AI. Ryan is from the exotic land of Portland, OR. Even though he’s a Stumptown Coffee man I think he liked the Grady’s cold brew we had during this episode. We discuss one of life’s biggest question; what is the best Terminator movie? Check out Ryan’s blog: http://vintage-robots.tumblr.com/ and https://boyscoutrobots.tumblr.com/ Grady’s Coffee: https://www.gradyscoldbrew.com/

This week Kim and I explore the mysterious world of unsolved disappearances in America’s National Parks. Author David Paulides has several books that were used for the documentary film Missing 411 that chronicles the similar disappearances of five children in National Parks across multiple decades. The more I researched this phenomena it does appear that it’s not just children or national parks. Paulides investigates over 1,400 disappearances in North America with odd similarities including the location which people disappear from, geographic names and bizarre places they are found.

Did you get the Presidential Alert text? Some people on the left were really upset by that. There’s even a lawsuit against the White House over it. If you’ve listened to this show you know I’m not a fan of the President, but I actually thought this was a good idea. Radio and traditional TV have been replaced by streaming services and podcasts so the most effective way of getting out a message these days is through our devices. So I didn’t really get the outrage until I read some Tweets by John Mcafee. The "Presidential alerts": they are capable of accessing the E911 chip in your phones – giving them full access to your location, microphone, camera and every function of your phone. This not a rant, this is from me, still one of the leading cybersecurity experts.

Scary Movie Month is a time honored tradition here at the Brumley house. Kim and I thought we’d invite you in for a discussion on the movies that scare us, entertain us and make us question reality itself. We do a deep dive into Donnie Darko, Hereditary, Strangers, The Blair Witch Project, It Follows and more. This is an episode of ***SPOILERS*** so beware. Thank you for listening!

My friend James stopped by the Coffee Buzz studio to talk about the Mandela effect. If you haven’t heard of this don’t feel bad. I only recently found out, but it might actually apply to you. James breaks it down for us. So hold onto your seats while we dive into some quantum physics and parallel universes.

In this episode I talk about the various ways I’m like a goldfish and how I can’t figure out what to do with all those CDs I bought from the 90s...is it time to let them go? I thought I was a minimalist but I can’t honestly say that anymore. Let's explore attachment, digital dependency and coffee. Thanks for listening!

Today on the show I talk about my strained relationship with social media. It’s a love hate conflict I have. Also I’m going to review some failed celebrity retirements and my strange fascination with trains. Coffee of the week is Kona Red Original Cold Brew.

I don’t know if you heard, but Ted Cruz has some serious competition for the upcoming Texas Senate race. Beto O’Rourke is basically tied with Cruz in the latest polls. One of the many things that sets him apart from other politicians is he doesn’t accept donations from special interest groups. This is practically unheard of in our political climate. The majority of his donations are individual everyday people. betofortexas.com

Today I tell the story of that one time I was in a band. It was during the time that I lived in Phoenix with my friends Steve Spencer and Shawn Heinmiller. We called it Jonesboro. It started out as late night jam sessions at Steve’s house. We’d play Wilco, Uncle Tupelo, Bob Dylan, Ryan Adams basically singer songwriter type stuff. We all had original songs as well. That was the cool thing about our project is someone didn’t like my voice they could wait and hear a good singer like Steve or Shawn. I hope you enjoy this episode. Thank you!
