  • #80 A Christmas Miracle that Never Was
    Dec 21 2023

    Good afternoon! (Spirited, if you haven't seen it, do it) In this episode I accidentally slide into the horrible discussion of politics, Ai-controlled court rooms, plus some Houston Texans and Astros talk--but not enough of it.

    Thanks for listening!

  • #079 Let's Take A Sip
    Dec 4 2023

    The all too familiar, "I'm back." I don't blame you, I wouldn't want to hear me either... well, yes I would. I just riff about what's been going on lately, launching a new business, and a little about coping with grief and others. Thanks for listening!

  • #078 May the 12th Be With You'z Guyz
    May 12 2023

    Don't tell me I'm not a procrastinator. You'll get no argument out of me.


    In this episode I finally get a chance to catch up with Army Veteran, brother from another madré, honorary uncle to my sons, the well traveled Nicholas Hernandez. You've heard from him before--way before he ever packed it up and headed out West, then back East, and back again down the Houston way for now. We discuss the role of men in relationships, why pro sports is wasteful but we watch anyway, and of course some splash about his travels.


    Thanks as always for catching another rare episode. More to come! I swear.

  • #077 April Tool’s!
    Apr 3 2023

    We almost did it. I did record some stuff but it wasn’t where I wanted it quite yet so we get what we get. Until you’re paying me money, don’t worry about it!

    In this episode, it's just me and I break down finally to rant about Bo Jiden, Meatball Ron vs. The Disney Kingdom, and why we're working for the weekend.

    Stay safe, friends. I'd say keep it real but keeping it real might gotcha shot in '23.

  • #076 Gregory Sanders!
    Mar 8 2023

    In the second episode from the reboot season, as promised, a guest! I was lucky enough to lock down good friend, fellow Army retiree, and fat ass Gregory Sanders. He's recently launched himself into the deep chasm that is standup comedy and I couldn't be more proud of him. Listen to his story here, then go search him out to catch a show and be first!

    We'll get it going. If you like it, share it. Help me quit my job.
