the ways we distract ourselves to avoid facing our emotions, responsibilities, and inner struggles. From social media and partying to overworking and mindless scrolling, today I explore why we escape, the hidden costs of avoiding reality, and how to break free. If you’ve ever felt stuck in a cycle of distractions, this conversation is for you.

In this first episode of The Conversationalist, I’m sitting down with the mic to give you a real, unfiltered look at where life’s at right now — the highs, the lows, the lessons, and the in-between. This isn’t a polished highlight reel, just an honest start to what I hope becomes a space for real conversations about life, faith, growth, and figuring it all out together. Whether you’re here for the stories, the insights, or just to feel a little less alone, welcome — let’s start the conversation.

part two of MMM's first two-part weekly episode.

cheers.

part one of this week's two-part episode...we're hittin' the realms of introspection this week.

cheers.

i've said it once, and i'll say it again...situational music IS A REAL THING.

that's all.

cheers.

the ending of this episode screams a different level of "i'm running out of things to talk about".

i love doing this lol.

cheers

as i mention early on in this episode, oh man is it a task to come up with new things to talk about every week when you don't have a guest lined up. nonetheless, i decided to talk about none other than what i know everything about, myself.

this ep really just takes a deep dive into something that i've always brushed off to the side and kept internalized throughout my earlier years, but now it has become a critical component of who i am today; my view of life through the lens of being an adopted individual.

in this 1.5 hour long discussion with myself, you'll be able to get a closer look into how i personally perceive what we call "life".

cheers.

*disclaimer: The following episode is hosted by someone with absolutely zero formal education in philosophy, metaphysics, or any other big-word topics. In fact, the closest they've come to answering life's great mysteries is deciding what to order for takeout. So, if you're looking for wisdom, enlightenment, or anything remotely useful, you've come to the wrong place. But if you’re here for some laughs and wildly unqualified advice, well, buckle up and lower those expectations.*

This week, in honor of season 3, I thought, 'Why not tackle some of life's toughest questions?—brought to you by you lovely listeners. Because who better to answer the unanswerable than someone totally unqualified?

Strap in.

sometimes you need to take a break from being entertainer of the year, and sometimes you need to have just a down-to-earth, open conversation.

this episode is that.

cheers.

the kid's back this week. of course i'm talking about myself. i am joined, yet again, by brennon and we just talked about nothing for this entire episode.

shoutout to me for carrying the weight of this episode.

cheers.
