Episode 61: BFF’s Volume 4

In this BFF episode I am joined by Brad and Ryan. I talk about my rebellious years and wearing jeans to the gym, and tell stories from going to my first open mic comedy night at the Sidebar in Baltimore. Ryan talks about a local hippy-jam-rock band that’s getting protested over their name- “Black Pussy” and brags about ‘building’ a headboard he basically bought from Lowes. And we all reminisce about our college radio show, debate comedic sensibilities, and learn what it’s like to spend one full minute inside my ADHD riddled head.

Episode 59: Doug Max

This week I spoke with New Jersey comedian Doug Max who walked me through the day he decided to start doing stand up- immediately after signing divorce papers. Doug tells me about what it’s like going into stand up as a single, older gentleman and we discuss topics such as open mics, babies, atheism, and how to tell if your marriage may be falling apart.

Episode 58: BFF’s Volume 3

This week is another installment of my BFF series. I’m joined by Naval Officer Pat, Ryan Sweeney, Nelson Ticas from A Place in Time, and newly certified therapist Jeff Taulbee. I talk about my growing (but still laughably small) listenership, Nelson and I talk very openly about what goes on behind the scenes at local shows and about being pop punk hipsters, Ryan reveals himself as the world’s first yuppy-lumberjack, Jeff talks about working in a psych ward in the inner city, Pat finally admits that I legally own part of his tooth, and we play a game where I say pop punk band names and watch Ryan get unreasonably angry about it.

Oh and we all tell our first kiss stories…

Episode 29: The Red (Pill) Menace

This week, I rant against the Men’s Rights Movement and “Red Pill”-ers and how they are incorrectly using the theories of evolutionary psychology to spread misogyny. I was going to also rant about Tumblr SJW’s and how they are ruining the good name of progressive social politics, but then I brought up the Eric Garner story and got too angry and had to stop. Enjoy!

Episode 14: Recording Studios, Psychology, and Why I’m A Sociopath

 

This week I talk to myself for this special bonus podcast. I tell tales from the studio, explain why my friends think I’m a sociopath, and I talk psychology a little for the first time on the podcast. Also within- I burn bridges by accident probably.
