About Uncommon Content

Welcome to Uncommon Content; the podcast where we explore the extraordinary in the everyday. Join Michael as he delves into thought-provoking discussions from the intricacies of society, to the lighter side of life with stories about personal adventures and local legends. Each episode promises a unique blend of humor, critique, and insight on topics ranging from the power of perspective to the peculiar habits of our society. Whether it's analyzing the impact of empty government buildings, celebrating the spirit of animal lovers, or uncovering the truth behind "nice fuzzy words" used in deception, Uncommon Content offers a fresh take on both the mundane and the sensational. Tune in for a journey through the unconventional, the untold, and the undeniably entertaining." Michael is the author of OFF THE RESERVATION; Stories I Almost Took To The Grave Probably Should Have, published in 2015. You will be able to listen to the book chapter by chapter for free, beginning October 1st! Equal parts shocking and moving, Off the Reservation is an absurdist confessional memoir, accurately detailing the reckless hijinks of a bipolar alcoholic. This stranger-than-fiction true story spans over three (five now!) decades, as Michael recounts his tales with wincing honesty. Eventually, the maniacal nights of booze, drugs, and sex give way to rude awakenings in empty rooms, jail cells, and beds of snow from a failed suicide by Mother Nature. Rossi learns most of his lessons--gradually, reluctantly, painstakingly--without imposing them on anyone. Thankfully for us, these unapologetic, darkly comic tales haven't been taken to the grave just yet.

   Our Canine Preferences

   I'm back! On this episode of Uncommon Content I layout how my plan for a solo trip around the world for a year lasted five months, and only made it through 13 degrees of longitude. There were money mishaps, a soul-sucking paradise, Anthropological revelations, and the best roast chicken I have ever eaten.

   Boys Will Be Boys

   On this episode I discuss somebody discussing cartels, how I am feeling taller every day (thereby loving Mexicans even more), and how I should always deal with fear... whether it is legally stealing a car or literally making an ass of myself on camera.

   One Ticket To Paradise

   On this episode I am entering the last ten days of the Mazatlán leg of my trip and I think it might have been the easiest part. I've started making videos and I look as dumb as expected, but I have plan. I also discuss my hatred of masks and how I can't believe we allow Americans in authority to wear them among us in America. 21 days and counting...
