61: Beer

Aug 8, 2023

Yesterday, storms moved through the south and made it very difficult to record a podcast. So here we are today. Been awhile since I shared a beer with you so I hope you don’t mind if I crack one open today. I got to watch the Jason Isbell documentary Running With Our Eyes Closed last night. I really enjoyed it and it made me think about how challenging relationships can be. I’ve had some pretty stormy ones for sure. Like those storms of yesterday, moving in and throwing stuff around. Not fun. Okay, I’ll see you later this week. Let’s try to do a video.

60: I Know You Are But What Am I?

Aug 3, 2023

Happy Episode 60 everyone! Hope you have a good holiday. Me? I’m still trying to get my life and home organized. It sure is taking awhile. How are you with trust? Do you trust people easily? I feel like I can learn a lot about trust from my cat. Celebrities are dropping like, well, celebrity flies. We’ve lost several the past couple weeks. The world is not as safe and secure as we have told ourselves it is. Hang on. It’s a bumpy ride. See you next week.

59: Small Town, Small Minds

Jul 25, 2023

So much in the news this week! Controversy about small towns and country songs, insane Presidential news, and social media craziness. How can we be blamed for wanting to watch it all? Just remember, distractions are simply other people stealing your life. Do you really want to give them that much control? Personally, I’d rather not. Stay alert. Don’t give your life to idiots. Unless you want to, of course. I don’t want to tell you what to do. Thanks for tuning in my friends. Let’s hang out again later this week.

58: Your Cheatin’ Heart

Jul 20, 2023

This week I’m doing battle with my cat, discovering new music and getting into a documentary about cheating. Are you a cheater in relationships? Have you cheated? I’ll let you know a story about the closest I’ve come to cheating. Was it cheating? I don’t think so. Let me know if I’m wrong. Hope to hear from you. Enjoy your weekend, friends!

57: Interview With Artist Randy Dickerson

Jul 13, 2023

Apocaleptic 57 Randy Dickerson

Welcome to another Thursday show! This week I interview artist Randy Dickerson. Randy is a southern artist with an interesting background and some fascinating views about art and life in general. It was a fun conversation and I hope you enjoy it. Look up Randy online and check out his great art. Thanks for all your support friends! Give us a share on your social media sites. Talk us up. Let people know about Apocaleptic. See you next week.

56: The Pursuit of Happy

Jul 11, 2023

happy

Hi friends! How’s your summer so far? How long will you wait for a table at a restaurant? That’s kind of a personal research question. I think I waited too long this weekend. Thinking about all of the things we do to make ourselves happy but what are your essentials? What are the things you can always rely on to make you the happiest? I have recently felt some resistance when asked by friends who wanted to be called by different names or recognized as a different gender. What’s that about? I do some examining of my own acceptance. Stop and say “hi” this week. I’ll talk with you soon.

55: Hoarder House

Okay, I think we’re ready to get back on schedule here! I told you the last week would be a rough one and it was. I wasn’t able to get a show up and the first of this week was tight as well. Good news is, I should be back on the original schedule next week! So here’s a little shorter show for you about fireworks, anxious dogs, yard sales and stuff. So much stuff. Want to buy some stuff? See you next week, friends!

54: God Is Grape

Jun 20, 2023

Thanks to listener Gary, we have a new scoop on the lack of grape ice cream (See what I did there?). Unfortunately, I don’t buy it so I still want some real answers. Also, I go on a little spontaneous rant about a video I saw about Christian philosophy. Is this something really needed? I guess some people need it. I just wish they would put all of their energies into getting us some grape ice cream.

53: Murdered At The Piggly Wiggly

Jun 13, 2023

pigglywiggly

It’s a great cool breezy day in the ATL. Rare but I’ll take it. As I get older, I’m concerned more and more about ageism. More specifically, what can everyone be doing out there to make my old man life much easier? It’s something we all should be focusing more on. I have a great idea for a new podcast which I have decided to completely turn over to you. Seriously. Go do it. Make millions. Just give me a shout out, okay? I’ll talk with you again later this week.

Unheard Of

Jun 8, 2023

Apparently the sound file for this week’s first show did not get uploaded, so there was nothing to listen to. I’d like to thank the lovely and talented David Facemyre for contacting me and pointing out that the show is a sham. It’s nothing. A mere phantom in this world of illusion. But it’s out now so forget all that metaphysical stuff. I’m pretty sure it was my own fault but I only say that because, as of yet, I can’t find anyone else to blame. Give it a listen and let me know if I should have just left it blank.
