A general conversation podcast where I sit with a guest (but may fly solo on occasion) with no particular topics, structure, direction or agenda. I am looking to grow as a person and help others grow by exercising free thought and free speech to explore new ideas, societal trends and things I generally find interesting (including potentially sensitive and/or controversial subjects). Please bear with me as I grow this podcast as this is a true start up. I currently know nothing about audio and I am learning how to converse in a way that is consumable to the common podcast listener. Audio quality, conversational quality and production quality WILL improve as this podcast grows (along with myself and, hopefully, my audience).

Welp, I'm sorry this one is late. In this episode, I mumble about people not doing shit, penalizing poverty, restructuring a major organization and forgetting my recording equipment when going to record with a guest. I also go into some thinking ive been doing on consciousness, the soul and how they may be exponential in their ability to elevate.. There is a bit of random clicking in the home stretch that i couldnt quite clean up. Hang in there people. Stay free!

Happy 1st Birthday to Lillian and also to my late Grandma Carolyn. I needed some time away but I'm back at it and I wanted to test adding the video element for this one. Thanks Jeff! Speaking of Jeff, go subscribe to The Ladder Up Podcast on YouTube! I was recently a guest and had a great time ranting on his platform.

I immediately get distracted by thoughts of my wife's butt and share some thoughts on the recent assassination attempt while remaining as unbiased as possible. I also toss a few conspiracy ideas out and have a testosterone-fueled vent session about testosterone.

Happy 248th birthday USA

I return after a month break to wish the United States of America a happy birthday. I read the Declaration of Independence (if you can call it reading) as a reminder to those of us who haven't read it in a while, and so that those that have never read it have an idea of what it means. My wife and youngest drop in momentarily, I toss a few "F" slurrs i chose not to bleep and I go off on something I cant remember. Happy 248th Birthday USA. We are doing our best to #StayFree. Well, some of us
Album art is from Independence Day 2016. My oldest drew this when she was 5 years old. #USA

Aariyn joins me to record on a boat. In my garage. We talk about youth camp, why living in Michigan automatically makes you a gambler, happiness and ways to find it and being trans, among other things. Also, happy birthday to Aariyn's dad and mom!

Michael Hyde and Nicho Carey

Michael is a philosophy major working toward his PhD and also son-in-law to Nicho. We discuss AI, morality, truth, ethics, logic, etc. I had several dull moments, but did my best to keep up and we hardly scratched the surface of the sea questions I have. We were very limited in time, but I feel like we could have talked for literal days. I very much enjoyed this conversation and want to thank Nicho for making it happen and Anschutz Cafe for allowing us to record and on such short notice. If youre in the area, stop in to Anschutz Cafe and get a bite to eat, a cold drink, or both. You wont regret it.

Brook'l and Matt - Part 2

In part 2, Brook'l and I try to explain some nuisances of marijuana to Matt. We also lightly discuss trauma and Matt clears up and elaborates some stories I had heard as a kid. He also talks about speeding to prove a point, falling through a single pane window, and gives me some perspective on parenting. Also, Randall gives us some more vocalizations. This one is full of chuckles
