I don’t know exactly where this podcast is headed, but that’s the point. Like me, this podcast is a work in progress. It grows, shifts, and evolves as I do. Maybe it becomes a community, maybe it stays just me and this one mic. Either way, I’m here, and I’ve got something to say—so Shut Up!
In this episode, I discuss my passionate hatred of Christopher Columbus, my struggles with life without a dishwasher, the 31st anniversary of the Million Man March, a recent story I heard about revenge, Jerry Seinfeld being an asshole, a straight male comic’s take on slut-shaming, and how being offensive is being passed off as comedy.

371: Talk To Yourself
In this episode, I discuss an Aristotle quote, my Thanksgiving plans, buying a new dishwasher, comparing the TLS handshake to a scene from The Sopranos, that viral clip by Ne Prosto Orchestra, whether there's a connection between slavery and Trump's beef with Canada,realizing that maybe my role in conversations about sexual violence isn't to change other men's minds, but to let those who get it know they're not alone, and my latest bout with negative self-talk.

370: Be Seen, Be Heard
In this episode, I discuss another quote about maturity, how TBGWT’s This Too Much and The Drop has me reminiscing about my days as a die-hard West Coast hip-hop fan, how Trump makes me want to give up on humanity, Angie Nixon’s clapback, the burden of dealing with emotionally immature people, geeking out after getting a Hello World Docker container running, a recent letter from the CRA, spoiler alert, they want their money, and punishing myself for taking up space.
