  • Verbal Shenanigans Episode 109-Man Pup Michael
    Well... This episode is exactly the reason I love podcasting.  Michael Burlew has always had an obsession with dogs.  Now, he is officially a man pup.  Well, in time anyway.  On this episode, we are joined by a man from Manchester, England, who goes by the name of Kaz.  He is a man pup.  Yes.  Kaz spends much of his life acting as a dog.  This actually turned out to be a fantastic, honest and open interview.  Please congratulate Burlew on his transition to canine. 

    To find out more about human pups and or talk and see Kaz, check out @Kazpup or @pupsnorth on Twitter.

    Please leave a review on iTunes.  If you do, Michael Burlew will allow me to choose what breed of human pup he will be. 


    Most importantly, please donate to the victims of the heinous Orlando shooting by donating to United Pride: A Benefit for Orlando.  To donate, Paypal [email protected].  This is a charity created by Aaron Is, tattoo artist from InkMaster, and his girlfriend Cocco.  THIS GOES DIRECTLY TO THE RIGHT PEOPLE.

  • Verbal Shenanigans Episode 108-You Can't Touch a Flame When it's Red Hot
    Life is a funny thing.  Weeks ago, we were laughing about various horrible sports anthems sung by numerous teams.  Somewhere along the line we reached out to the former captain of the 1989 Calgary Flames, Jim Peplinski, about his teams' anthem, "Red Hot".  Oddly enough, Jim was one of the only players not featured in the video. Jim gave us an awesome interview where we discussed his career, the Stanley Cup, staying healthy, fighting, and all things hockey. 

    Check out Jim on Twitter @jimpeplinski24


    Later,LGBT director, AJ Mattioli, once again joins us to discuss his transition and the current drama over bathroom privileges in the US.  Later, Michael Burlew lets us in on how he broke his girlfriend's door, took her to listen to bullfrogs, and out for a stroll to see horses....I know.  

    Please keep subscribing and leave a review on iTunes.  if you do, Michael Burlew has volunteered to let me crosscheck him in the face.

    Life is funny.  Laugh at it.

    I don't even know how to describe this episode.  Thomas Thwaites, author of The Toaster Project, joins us in one our most ridiculous interviews to date.  Thomas decided to take a holiday from being a human by transforming himself into a goat.  From figuring out how to travel with a heard, to try on prosthetics, to figuring out how a human could digest grass, Thomas went full force into this project.  Listen to his unbelievable tale and insights on the human condition.

    Be sure to read Thomas's new book, Goatman: How I Took a Holiday from Being Human.  Check out Thomas at  www.thomasthwaites.com

  • Verbal Shenanigans Episode 103-I'm Looking at You, You're Looking at Me, We're Looking at Each Other
    This was fun!  We record an episode in a super fancy, super special location.  Ok, fine.  It was Convenient Truth's director, Dom Bagnato's apartment. But, we are there to talk to his fiance, Kim Boyko, about her new EP entitled "Somebody Else". Kim is a super talented singer/songwriter.  Listen as Kim plays a few songs for the podcast.  Later, we play an embarrassing version of the Newlywed game.  We had a blast.  So much so, that Scott ended up falling off his chair during an exciting story of flatulence.
