Thoughts Off The Stem | Unfiltered Comedy episodes

  • Stoner Moments, Buckets and Life Lessons

    Thoughts Off The Stem is a comedy podcast packed with hilarious observations, personal stories, and unfiltered takes on everyday life. Join Justin Barone as he turns life's frustrations, weird thoughts, and the absurd into laughs.


    Ever had your gut tell you "Don't do it," only to have your brain say "Watch this" and your high self say "Hold my beer"? Welcome to Thoughts Off The Stem.


    In this episode, host Justin Peron recounts the legendary university story of his first Gravity Bong (Bucket) experience—a literal "atom bomb" of smoke that resulted in a 4-hour blackout on a stranger’s couch. But once we clear the smoke, we’re diving into the deep history of cannabis. Did you know ancient shamans were buried with caches of weed 2,700 years ago? Or that the "War on Drugs" was actually a battle over paper and hemp?


    • High Lesson: Why you should never let someone else control the "mechanism" of your life (or your bong).

    • Ancient Weed Facts: Exploring 10,000 years of human cannabis use, from ancient Chinese braziers to the US Pharmacopeia.

    • The Paper vs. Hemp Conspiracy: The real reason cannabis became a Schedule I drug.
    • Dude, For Real?: A breakdown of the funniest "high-atry" stories—including the girl who convinced herself she could walk and the person who tried to blow on their ice cream because it was "too hot."

    Life is full of lessons, but sometimes you have to learn them the hard way. Whether you’re here for the laughs or the deep-dive history, pull up a chair, light one up, and let's get into it.

  • AI is a Big Fat Liar

    Thoughts Off The Stem is a comedy podcast packed with hilarious observations, personal stories, and unfiltered takes on everyday life. Join Justin Barone as he turns life's frustrations, weird thoughts, and the absurd into laughs.


    Is your AI a digital genius or a "technological drunkard" waddling through cyberspace? In this episode of Thoughts Off The Stem, Justin Barone breaks down why our obsession with ChatGPT and Gemini is leading us off a cliff. We treat AI like it’s Gandalf the Great, but in reality, it’s a toddler we’re asking for parenting advice.


    Justin shares his personal "horror stories" navigating the shift from ChatGPT (the one that pushed him off a cliff) to Gemini (the "hotter sibling" that pulled him back up). From tanking podcast SEO to becoming a "baked" yes-man that just smiles and nods at your worst ideas, AI is officially full of it.


    "AI chat bots can’t identify that they are a tool... they’re basically electronic emotional support animals trying to comfort you, letting you stroke them to calm your anxiety."


    • Welcome to the Sesh: Life is good, but your AI is a big fat liar.

    • The Usain Bolt Effect: How ChatGPT shot my rankings up, then dropped them like an insurance scam.

    • The "Yes-Man" Trap: Why your AI is acting like the new guy in the sesh—just smiling and nodding.

    • The Saturday Call-Out: When Gemini got defensive and lied about its own Friday advice.

    • WEED FACTS (2026): How AI is redefining the cannabis industry—from cultivation sensors to predictive retail.
    • DUDE, FOR REAL: Dumb things people have done with AI (Medical fails, robot uprisings, and pool cleaner poison).

  • Gross things that should never be free samples

    Thoughts Off The Stem is a comedy podcast packed with hilarious observations, personal stories, and unfiltered takes on everyday life. Join Justin Barone as he turns life's frustrations, weird thoughts, and the absurd into laughs.


    "It’s just a little tester." The five most dangerous words in the English language.


    In this week’s sesh, Justin Barone is dismantling the "Try Before You Buy" economy and taking it to its most illogical, biohazardous conclusion. What starts as a simple gripe about communal vapes at the local pot shop quickly spirals into a fever dream of cross-contamination that would make a health inspector faint.


    On Thoughts Off The Stem, we strip away the filters to look at the root of the problem: humanity has lost its mind. Join Justin as he navigates a retail hellscape where hygiene goes to die.


    Inside this episode’s descent into madness:

    • The Dental Deposit: Why your dentist wants you to "rent" a tester tooth for 48 hours. It’s a loaner for your face. Don't lose it. 🦷
    • The Pharmacy’s "Sample Sunday": We’re transforming your local drugstore into a medical Costco. Imagine a world where a friendly employee in a hairnet offers you a "bite-sized" shot of Neti Pot solution and a "communal" foot scraper. 🤮
    • The "Personal Care" Gauntlet: From at-home enema demonstrations to the "tasting tray" of dental floss and bum wipes, we explore the exact moment that "free" becomes a felony. 🧼
    • The Adult Store Apocalypse: We hit the final boss of retail sampling. Edible undies? Flesh lights? Vibrators? If there’s a "tester" version on the shelf, we’re questioning the sanity of everyone involved. 🔞


    This episode is a journey through the aisles of the absurd, where the only thing spreading faster than the jokes is the staph infection. It’s unfiltered social commentary with that signature elevated wit you expect from the stem.

    Grab your hazmat suit. You’re going in. Stay Rooted.

  • True North and The American Dumpster Fire

    Thoughts Off The Stem is a comedy podcast packed with hilarious observations, personal stories, and unfiltered takes on everyday life. Join Justin Barone as he turns life's frustrations, weird thoughts, and the absurd into laughs.


    Looking south from the "True North Strong and Free"... do we need to pass you the joint or what?

    ​

    In this episode of Thoughts Off The Stem, we’re sparking up and peering over the 49th parallel to witness the absolute unit of a circus that is the American political landscape. Sometimes you need a little herb just to take the edge off, especially when the "quiet neighbors" upstairs are watching the party downstairs turn into a full-blown dumpster fire.


    ​We’re breaking down the madness with the bewildered curiosity only a slightly toasted Canadian can provide, covering:


    • ​The TikTok Trauma Feed: Why MAGA ideology on the FYP feels like a hockey riot where nobody is wearing skates and everyone is screaming at the ref.


    • ​The Death of Civil Discourse: Is "please" and "thank you" officially extinct, or has the culture war just made everyone forget how to share the metaphorical bong?


    • ​The "Maple MAGA" Leak: How political polarization is trickling north faster than a cold front from the Arctic, testing our "sorry" reflex to the limit.


    ​Join Thoughts Off The Stem for a comedic deep dive into why "America the Great" has become America the "I Said We're Great." We’re looking for common ground, but at this point, we’d settle for a conversation that doesn't end in a digital restraining order.


    ​Whether you’re a concerned Canuck or an exhausted American, let’s see if we can find some chill in a world that’s lost its cool.

    Welcome to part 2 of "Start A Podcast For $0 (Zero Budget Guide)". In this episode "The $0 Blueprint: 5 Years Of Podcast Lessons That Actually Matter"by Thoughts Off The Stem, we discuss what I've learned over the last five years of podcasting, the things that are most important and should be the primary focus of your attention when starting out.


    Many podcasts out there fail within the first year because people lose sight of what is important, have over inflated expectations, and let external influences dictate how they view success.


    Podcasting is fun and can be a lucrative business but for most people it doesn't start out that way. There are a many factors that go into the growth of a podcast that, you as new person starting out are going to learn as you go. As your show's concept, creative ideas and audience evolve so does your production, and production is an aspect that improves over the course of time with a lot of trial and error. It's very unlikely that your show is going to skyrocket to the top of the charts after the first week. I'm not saying it can't happen I'm saying it's unlikely.


    "The $0 Blueprint: 5 Years Of Podcast Lessons That Actually Matter" is essentially a guide to avoiding the pitfalls and mistakes that a lot of new podcasters fall into and make. There are over 4 million podcasts out there, it's a big pool for listeners to choose from. If you keep that in perspective and remind yourself of the depth of the pool it helps to maintain healthy expectations. Especially for the podcaster like myself who has to find and build a fan base, as well as trust with listeners.


    I hope you enjoy the sesh.

  • Showing Gratitude, Managing Expectations and Delusional Dreams

    Thoughts Off The Stem is a comedy podcast packed with hilarious observations, personal stories, and unfiltered takes on everyday life. Join Justin Barone as he turns life's frustrations, weird thoughts, and the absurd into laughs.


    This seshisode of Thoughts Off The Stem is all about gratitude and refocusing expectations.


    I have always wanted to get involved in radio and television broadcasting. So when the pandemic hit and we were all trapped inside during Covid-19. Like many other people I didn't have anything to do. Spotify for creators, then known as Anchor, gave us the ability to simply record podcasts. So that's what I did. I started recording Thoughts Off The Stem on a weekly basis.


    It was designed to encompass all the things that would allow me to talk about a wide range of topics. The catalogue is filled with over 200 episodes, ranging from comedy, cannabis and entertainment, to stories of personal growth, self improvement, parenting struggles, what it's like to be a single dad with three kids and a whole bunch of relatable content about life.


    It's been 5 years since the inception of the show and it's time to show some gratitude to you for coming back each week. Thank you! Without you wonderful folks I would not have kept going for this long. I appreciate that you make time for me and my silly.


    The point of the show is to mimic a sesh, where no topic is off limits and hopefully I can provide you with a few laughs, a break from the worlds crazy, maybe get you to think differently and some times teach you a thing or two.


    All I really want to do is put a smile on your face and add a dose of fun to your day.


    This sesh is for you. I guess you could say I was all in my feels for this one and I hope that it hit's the spot and truly show's the appreciation I have for you.


    Enjoy the Sesh!

  • What If We Are In A Simulation?

    Thoughts Off The Stem is a comedy podcast packed with hilarious observations, personal stories, and unfiltered takes on everyday life. Join Justin Barone as he turns life's frustrations, weird thoughts, and the absurd into laughs.


    If you’ve ever been just high enough to question your entire existence, this episode is your new spiritual home. We’re diving headfirst into the trippy, hilarious, mind-warping question:

    “What even is reality?”

    In this episode, we explore:


    • Why your brain suddenly feels like it has four tabs open and all of them froze
    • The strange moment when you look in the mirror high and think,

      “Is that really me… or just the meat suit I drive?”
    • How we’re all basically NPCs wandering around doing side quests
    • The weird glitch moments in real life—like when you walk into a room and forget why
    • Why being high makes everything feel deeper than it actually is


      (“Bro… time isn’t real. It’s just vibes.”)
    • The possibility that we’re all living in a simulation run by someone who definitely forgot to update the software
    • And the classic stoner spiral:

      “If reality is what I experience… who’s experiencing ME?”

    This episode blends comedy, cannabis chaos, and stoner philosophy into one big, hilarious existential meltdown—in the best way.

    🎧 Press play and prepare to question everything… while laughing your face off.
