I hope you ordered your podcast spicy, because this version is a slow heat, but it builds. I was pretty fired up by the end of this one.

Jan 04 2025 144 mins

I don't normally do this, but content warning, this episode talks at length about death and funerals and, while I continue to approach everything with an inappropriate degree of levity, if that's something you're not game to listen to right now, go ahead and skip the first hour of this one. Recommend me your favorite show or video game at [email protected] and I will either play/wa

I left the country for a few weeks to get that taste out of my mouth but now I'm back and as salty as ever. Brace yourself. I made a pretty strong appeal that you should e-mail the show at [email protected], so I won't repeat myself here. DO IT. DO IT NOW. Hopefully I'll be back at least once more before we call it for 2024. Stay tuned. 📻 Correction: In the opening segment, I s
