I start this episode with ‘funnies’ from the past week, then get into the Winter Olympics in Milan. How thrilling would it be to have a luge track nearby that you could use? Problem is there are only four of them in America. In this episode, I break down the differences between luge, skeleton, and
Why the Long Face?
In this episode, I share my ‘physiognomical theory of everything,’ and what could unaffectionately be referred to as “communist face.” Here I discuss facial structures, perceived softness, and why certain public figures project a collectivist energy based solely on appearance. This eventually turns into a broader conversation about leadership, optics, and testosterone (or lack thereof).
As It Was, Kyren Lacy, Juiced Returns (from Costa Rica)
Coming to you solo again from beautiful Costa Rica, which means “rich coast.” I’ve had lots of time to think here, while working on my tan and watching surfers in the Pacific Ocean from our balcony.

Marijuana Legalization, Microsoft & AI, Monks Love Peace (from Prague)
Coming to you solo from Prague—my favorite city in the world. I went to Berlin last weekend and recorded an episode there with my buddy Jürgen. In this episode, I discuss “the best movie ever,” raid of John Bolton’s home, and Trump’s recollection of the raid on his home. Remember when American propagandists told us

Ryne Sandberg, Ripped at 50, Russian Collusion (from Gdańsk)
In this short solo episode from the Baltic coast, I talk more about Gdańsk. This is where World War II started. Then, half-a-century later, was the first domino to fall before the collapse of the Soviet Union. I also talk about the city’s Catholic roots, the street scenes during the Saint Dominic festival, and how

Pelch then played professional baseball and represented Canada on the national team. He’s also worked as a scout
Fear of Abandonment, Mamba Mentality, The Mystery of Faith with Michael Loomis
LB is short for “Lil Bro.” Michael Loomis is my 3rd guest from the Man Overseas Retreat in Costa Rica. Michael & I have logged hundreds of hours on the phone, and I couldn’t wait to finally meet him. Plus, he reminds me a lot of a younger Man, hence the nickname—except he’s a lot
Body Counts, Swinger Lifestyle, Real Estate Commissions with Lauren McAlister Andrews
Lauren Mac, as I used to call her, is one of my favorite people from high school. If we’d kept in touch better, she’d be like my Chase or Capt. Byro, but female. But Lauren’s been busy raising 3 kids and and building a successful real estate career. Plus, I travel overseas a good bit.
