In this 16th solo episode, I get into Biden’s pardons and the theatre of politics that seems like something you’d be kind & rewind when done watching that day. But nope, this is real life. I also talk Tesla stock, and unpack Elon Musk’s entrepreneurial endeavors that’ve helped humanity. Tesla is making huge AI &
Americans in the High Castle: A Political Analogy by an “Internet Dad”
Politics isn’t what I most enjoy writing or talking about. In fact, I rarely talked politics publicly before this last administration.

Intoxicating Kindness
When I was in Zambia, one kid was like my shadow. If I turned around, his eyes were locked on me. I felt like Michael Jordan (maybe sans charisma and all the talent). That’s because when I was 12 years old and MJ was on WGN, I’d stop and watch his every move, even yelling
Travel to Budapest, Coldplay Concert, Parenting Beef
In this solo episode, I share the story of our unexpected journey from Berchtesgaden, Germany, to Budapest, Hungary. Our month-long stay in Berchtesgaden was cut short.

Lifelong Friendships, Eagle’s Nest, 90s Comedy, Jesus Christ
Tupac once said twelve shots couldn’t stop him, he took it and smiled. The problem for Pac was he didn’t know what was coming next. I know the feeling. Things can go from bad to worse real fast. The past year’s been a nightmare for your newly-humbled host with an old podcast. I feel like I
