Whistle Pig

Thank you for all that you do! I tried to get unite these crazy kids to give you a beautiful Mothers Day message.. ENJOY!

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! 

Heres a short one for ya. Enjoy? 

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. 

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 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. 

I sit for a short, distracted ramble about Mother's Day, my anniversary, Leonidas' first fish and I can't remember what else. Something about technology, maybe? 

A simple idiot and some of his political thoughts. Oh, also Captain James Cook and Hernan Cortes. I try to paint a picture of life at sea but get lost thinking about the Cortes expedition into Mexico. Good shit
