16: My Date With 2022

Apocaleptic 16 My Date

Goodbye 2022, ya bastard. For me, the year was full of loss but, strangely, I came out totally fine. I’m doing good how about you? I said goodbye to some friends, family members and company activities. I ate some good food and watched some great documentaries. I grew spiritually. I made some jokes about poop. Never let them typecast you!  I found a couple new favorites this year like the music of Adeem The Artist and the spiritual works of Clare Dimond. Flogging Molly‘s new album restored my faith in legacy bands. Thanks to everyone who came on the Apocaleptic journey with me this year. Here’s to an even better 2023!

15: I’d Like to Thank the Little People

Apocaleptic 15 Little People

The holidays are mostly done! Have you enjoyed them? I often wonder what it’s like for people who have no religious connection to any of the holidays being forced to encounter them. Also, why is it all of the big movie bosses seem to have little people as their labor force? Santa, Willy Wonka, Keebler Cookies? Where is the logic? I’m not making resolutions this year but I do have a couple of goals. One in particular which I think is very restricting. Maybe you’ll make it a goal too. Thanks for listening everyone!

14: Lubricating the Pole

Apocaleptic 14 Lubricating the Pole

This is the last show before Christmas. Is it our Christmas episode?? Nah, I don’t think there is a proper Christmas episode this year. Nonetheless, I discuss Santa Claus and becoming an unbeliever. Also, you probably don’t know everything you really need to know about the North Pole. So, in honor of the big fat man, here are some facts for you. Geez, I really shouldn’t talk about myself that way, should I? Merry Holidays everyone!

13: In Your Face, Kringle!

Apocaleptic 13 In Your Face, Kringle

Happy Christmas and Hanukkah week, everyone! Today I demonstrate the difference in “knowing something” and “learning something.” I learned a lesson in a Christmas carol that I’m not really fond of but it taught me something pretty valuable. Hope you’re feeling well this season. Hope you’re doing well. As always reach out and say “Hi” if you feel the need! Enjoy!

12: Because I Could Not Stop For Death with Guest Maria Fernandez

Apocaleptic 12 Stop For Death

In this episode I bring in a special guest to discuss death. We try not to be too morbid about the whole thing, but Maria just went through the death of her mom and has some valuable experience and advice to share. Plus, she’s my wife and it was fun having her in the studio. Hopefully, no one else has to die before she comes back.

11: Trashing Old Stuff

Aocaleptic 11 Trashing Old Stuff

Today I had a small panic attack about boxes of old stuff. We all have to confront our old stuff at some point and figure out if we’re going to trash it or keep it stored somewhere. I think it’s time for me to confront some bad habits I’ve developed. Can it be that real people are more valuable than protecting my own ego? Holy crap, how can that be true? I send out my first album reviews in this episode. Christmas albums by Amanda Shires and Billy Idol come under the examination spotlight. Hope your holidays are going well, my friends. Keep in touch!

10: The Earl of Sandwiches

Apocaleptic 10 The Earl Of Sandwiches

Full disclosure: I recorded this entire episode in 20 year old pants. I think back, fondly, on my dad’s Little Debbie cravings and wonder if there is something in the DNA. My own cravings have recently been pulling me toward sandwiches. I whip out some 3 and 3 for your morning entertainment. Please subscribe to the podcast if you haven’t already.

9: Say My Name

Do you ever discover something about yourself and you just dont know why it’s there? But you know it is there and maybe you should hold it up to the light and examine it. There are so many of those things about me like that I constantly discover. Also, maybe take some time to figure out what is happening with holiday traditions we mindlessly observe. Never hurts to know.

8: Anniversary Booty

Apocaleptic 8 - Anniversary Booty

Yesterday was my anniversary. I innocently went and bought a card for my wife and then… aw man, now I feel like a creep. What’s wrong with me? I don’t deserve my wife. I need some counseling I’m pretty sure. Why couldn’t I just get a card and get out?

7: It’s Beginning To Look A Lot

Apocaleptic 7 It's Begining

Thanksgiving is history and I ate way too much. Instead of thinking about my gluttony, best move my focus forward to Christmas where I can participate in greed. I’ve pulled out my box of Christmas movies and I’m ready to start the marathon. Do you have favorite holiday movies you have to watch every year? I present my own lists here, not just my favorites but also the ones I despise. I wonder which list your favorites are on. Stay in touch friends. I’d love to hear from you.
