• Tech glitches and getting the mic rolling
• Silhouette tee designs and Cricut export struggles and eventual win
• Using Highlander art to stress-test workflow
• Introducing the film to a new viewer at home
• Memories of the 1986 release and Queen’s soundtrack
• Quick hits on sequels and the TV series
• Casting chatter for the reboot and expectations
• Immortality, loss and why the myth endures
• What breaks reboots and what could save one
• Open questions for the audience to weigh in

I rearranged the "studio" from the ground up,(Again). Pressed first runs for my small shirt brand in the Philippines, and I get honest about thumbnails, simple gear, and making a standing setup work. 

Let’s talk about protests in schools, sports programming choices, grief for a grandfather, and a Lent practice built on habits that hold.

• Camera placement, standing workflow, and less clutter
• Early Kalbo shirts, heat vinyl limits, sizing in the Philippines
• Thumbnail experiments, Rumble views, and design muscle
• Questioning a high‑profile missing person case and media certainty
• Schools and protests, culture wars, and audience trust
• ESPN programming shifts and what viewers actually want
• Losing a grandfather, regret over distance, and aging markers
• Lent goals: fasting to 3 PM, daily rosary, dropping vices, building habits

We jump from camera filters and creator habits to the messy realities of launching a small t-shirt brand, then pause to honor Robert Duvall’s steady craft and impact. Tech snags, an accidental domain buy, and a spicy Icy Hot mishap keep the ride honest and human.

• Shifting from ink to heat press and dialing workflow
• Email sprawl, two-factor issues, and platform choices
• Browser switch for speed and reliability
• Buying a domain by accident and leaning into it
• Building brand trust through small, real choices
• Remembering Robert Duvall’s legacy and best roles
• Aging, recovery, and creator ergonomics
• Managing attention amid cultural noise
• Asking for Feedback on video filter and setup

We test a cleaner camera setup, drop the filter, and talk frankly about staying podcast-first while platforms push soft speech. Then we pivot from messy screen printing to reliable heat press vinyl, fueled by a switch from Adobe to Affinity and a plan for small-batch shirts.

• Moving to QuickTime and a sharper camera while keeping audio-first focus
• Why self-censorship creeps in on big platforms and how to resist it
• Design workflow upgrades with Affinity and Canva for stable tools
• Real-world issues with inks, heat, fumes, and failed screens at home
• Choosing heat press vinyl for small runs and planning a path to DTF
• Practical steps for logos, Cricut cuts, weeding, and test pressing
• How pop culture nudges beliefs and the value of choosing your own stance
• Comedians, backlash, and the line between offense and honesty
• A low-drama plan to make shirts for family and local groups

Let me know what you think. See you guys next time, and God bless.

Jerk weighs low-effort, high-consistency podcasting against burnout while testing a DIY mic setup and AI editing. Between a pickleball weekend, Bible reading habits, a New York policing case, and a new He-Man trailer, we ask what’s practical, what’s respectful, and what’s worth our time.

• Keeping the podcast simple to stay consistent
• Using AI to cut clips and reduce editing load
• Social media as a posting tool, not a time sink
• Pickle ball growth in the Philippines and learning doubles
• Toilet reading the physical Bible to avoid phone distractions
• First reactions to the NYPD cooler case and proportional force
• Skepticism about sign language at briefings on-screen
• Cautious optimism for the new He-Man and villain tone
• Questions for listeners on setup, faith habits, and films

Let me know what you think sign language people news news briefings should they be there is He-Man gonna be DEI crap show what else did I talk about should I put more work into my podcast is it okay to read the Bible on the toilet and should a guy go to jail for throwing a cooler at somebody that inadvertently dies anyway that's it let me know what you think appreciate your time I'll see you guys next time alright God bless alright bye

Jerk talks about deleting the podcast a couple years back and how the road back has been slow. Realities of various platforms and comments, and how consistency beats hacks. We also dig into student protests being organized by school districts, while some parents were unaware. Body cams are to be given to all ICE agents, how organic ARE the protests and how much do protestors make? Also; how Don Lemon needs to be made an example plus, some dream analysis about strange dreams that signal creative anxiety.

• Why consistency matters more than spikes.
• How Buzzsprout, Spotify, YouTube, Rumble and BitChute etc. capture analytics.
• How negative comments are par for the course and are entertaining.
• How Law enforcement and body cams create clarity
• Why student protests should not happen, but need consent and balance if so.
• Tools and AI that reduce editing friction
• Creative nerves behind recurring performance dreams

What do you guys think of you know you know, 12, 13, 14 year olds going to ice protest?

We move from a flying toupee and bald confidence to a deeper look at Dracula’s roots, asking whether a Christian defender was turned into a monster by modern myth and cultural taste. Along the way we test Stoker’s influences, Hollywood morality, and a stark Bible warning about deceptive authority.

• Pickleball takeover and entering a tournament
• Boxer’s wig incident as a mirror for image and ego
• Choosing baldness over denial and costly fixes
• Vlad the Impaler’s context versus the Dracula myth
• How stories shape faith, heroes, and public memory
• Bram Stoker’s milieu, science, and occult-adjacent circles
• Hollywood’s golden age and Catholic guardrails
• 1 Kings 13 and the danger of false prophets
• Discernment as a way to navigate culture and belief

Let me know: shave your head, transplant, or team hat? Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Vlad the Impaler, Christianity—what is it? Whatever. Let me know.
