ODO 44 King of Queens

Hello 2017! For this week's recommended listening I've got a double shot from the "King of Queens" RuPaul. In "BS From the News" I've got an epic case of the silent treatment, an epic prank, and a pair of really dumb criminals. (As if there's any other kind.) Plus I wrap things up with a rant about the phrase "drive it like you stole it." Subscribe to the show on iTunes Talk Back to the Odd Dad Out on Facebook Follow @OddDadOut on Twitter Hosted on Acast.

ODO 43: Adios 2016

So Long 2016! This week I'm looking back on "The Year of No Survivors" and running through some of the MANY celebrities lost this year. Of course I'll make fun of some weird news stories, and in "Recommended Listening" I'm featuring my old pal the NewMan. Then I take a look back at this show and how things have changed over the last year and what I'd like to do in 2017.

ODO 42: Defending Barbie

This week news broke that Amy Schumer is in talks to lead a Barbie movie. I can't get behind this, but not for the reason you might think. Plus I launch a new "Recommended Listing" segment by talking about "PreRecorded Live." As always there's "BS from the News." And in the the "Jackass of the Week" I have a word or two about being a responsible smoker.

ODO 41: Getting Back to Chatting

Recently the show has taken a wide turn from where it originally began. This week I bring things back with a good old fashioned chatting train of thought. I talk about why I took a break for a few weeks, some thoughts on the recent Presidential election, and some podcasts I've gotten into recently. Thanks to Mark from "What's Happening with the NewMan" and Matt from "PreRecorded Live" for really just being my friends and not letting me walk away from the show when I get a bit frazzled. http://wh...

ODO 38: Nerd Scented Candle

This week I changed things up and covered a wide range of news stories including: Janet Jackson's pregnancy, McDonald's response to the creepy clowns, a scented candle only nerds can appreciate, and a 911 operator that just didn't want to do her job.

ODO 37: The Price of Fame

Back in old form, this week is just a good old fashioned stream of consciousness type discussion about fame and how the media covers BS stories simply for ratings. Of course that opens up a whole big can of worms running from the Kardashians to Donald Trump. Throw in some surprising words of wisdom courtesy of a recent Nerdist interview with Sarah Jessica Parker, and we've got a nice train of thought. Believe it or not, I even manage to tie it all in with the creepy clown epidemic, because I can...

Not So Big an A-Hole: ODO 36

For most all of my post-high school life I have been said to be kind of an a**hole. To a degree it's been almost a point of pride. Now that I'm older I'm starting to wonder if it's more "kind of" and less "a**hole."

Putting the Labor in Labor Day: ODO 35

This week was Labor Day in the US. I mention it being in the US because apparently I'm actually more popular overseas than I am at home. Just kidding, I'm not popular anywhere. But anyway, it was Labor day on Monday, a day where we honor the blue collar working man by giving all the white collar guys the day off.

Remembering Gene Wilder: ODO 34

What's the deal 2016!? Stop killing our legends! I know I'm not the first to say it, but this has become the year the legends died. The loss of Gene Wilder this week just pushes that point home. Unless you've been living under a rock for the last week, you've probably heard that, legendary comic actor, Gene Wilder passed away this week. Of course, when an artist of his caliber passes away, the world collectively mourns. I've mentioned before that I am a very sensitive person. I realize that here...

The Magic School Bus: ODO 33

After weeks of trying to get a new episode recorded, I'm finally back. School is back as well and I've got a bone to pick with the people on the road. This week's "BS From the News" has a woman with psychological issues, a woman committed to a scam, a hungry cop, and a twist ending to a great play in baseball.

Poké of Shame: ODO 32

This week I have a shameful confession to make. Then I take a moment to geek out about all the new superhero stuff going on. And, in BS From the News we learn why you shouldn't leave your dogs in your car and we meet a noblewoman with an interesting pest problem. Plus I give an update on building my podcast network, and I need your help. Odd Dad Out News: I'm starting to make moves towards building up the Odd Dad Out podcast network.

The Unconventional Conventionist: ODO 31

It's been a year since I started making this podcast so I started looking back at how much I've grown in the past year. Then I yak about just how dumb political conventions are. Bullshit From the News Strip Club to Donate Lap Dance Proceeds to Flood Relief The Blue Parrot Cabaret in Morgantown, West Virginia is raising money for flood relief in southern W.

I Choose You, Or Not: ODO 30

I have learned that work trips are a great way to observe general human stupidity in action. Plus the 400 lb app in the room, we're talking Pokemon Go. And in "BS From the News" we'll learn probably the only thing in the way of poke-world domination, and just how bad one little typo can be.

This week I give an update on what's been going on with me for the past few weeks and share the harrowing tale of my recent family trek back across Texas.

Iguanas and Black Bears and Does, Oh My! -ODO 28

(Sorry about the digital hiccups, didn't catch it until playback) I swear I'm not sick all the time! This week I take the show in a new direction (again) and get back to the comedy foundation this show was intended to have. To that end I have opted to seek out strange news stories to pick on and ridicule for your amusement. Completely unintentionally, I have fallen into an animal theme this week. I've got courtroom iguanas, bears in marathons, and a killer deer. Of course none of this would be f...

Lessons From the Road: ODO 27/ MDC 10

Crossover Show!! This week we are knocking out two birds with one stone. This week I'm sharing Episode 10 of the "Mom and Dad Cuss" podcast which I share with my wife. Since both shows were going to discuss our recent vacation, I figured why record separate shows at all? We are back from our annual vacation to Texas. After executing what we feel has been our most successful vacation to date, we decided to share some of our road stories and tips for surviving the experience. This year we drove th...

ODO 26: A Lesson From Spongebob

This week I try out a new format including "BS From the News" "Storytime" and a podcast review segment. BS From the News- George Zimmerman, has decided to put the gun he used to shoot Trayvon Martin up for auction. Storytime- As much as I use profanity, it took an episode of Spongebob Squarepants to put into words my personal philosophy on how it really fits into modern language.

ODO 25: Moving Days

Back from my break to move into our new house. We aren't totally settled in yet but we are at least in the new house. Just making this move reminded me of how much of an adventure moving is, and how much my pro skill at moving has dive bombed over the years. Hosted on Acast.

ODO 24: Drinking with Family

It's a fun night with family. This week I am joined by my wife ReAnna, oldest sister MG (Raevyn Lunatic), her husband Derek (Rev. Knuckleface), and her son Glenn (Fabulous the 2nd.) For the occasion we cracked open a bottle of "God's Pillow" from the "Clockwork Chemists", and Angry Orchard "Iceman." By the nature of our family, we just start talking about whatever comes to mind. Just because we have so much fun hanging out we went on for-ev-er... Topics ranged from our grandparents deaths to "Al...

*Update: This is a corrected version of this episode. My sincerest apologies. Thank you to Andrew on Facebook for pointing out that the original episode cut off and restarted mid way * I'm getting a little "Meta" this week. (Is that how you use that?) This week I'm taking on podcasting as a virus / addiction. I go from initial infection of the podcasting bug, to infecting others, to growing into the podcaster strain and replicating it and spreading to even more people. Whether you're just consum...

ODO 22: Anti-Social Media

I'm just gonna say it, I suck at social Media. This week I explain my love/hate... mostly hate relationship with social media. From Myspace to Snapchat and everything in between, I am a millennial failure. I am also quite aware of the hypocrisy of sharing this podcast about hating social media to ALL my social media platforms. But hey, I have to spread the word somehow.

This week I think back on my childhood TV habits and talk about some of the shows I used to watch. Then I look at some of the shows that we share with our children now. From watching "Rugrats" to singing along with "RuPaul's Drag Race," our boys seem to have a pretty well rounded television exposure. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

ODO 18: Automobile Rage

Automobile Rage I'm back after a week off to deal with a severe case of "fucking tired" combined with a hint of "don't know what to talk about" to bring you this week's rant about cars. Specifically I'm talking about the stupidity of the "tuner" culture and the compulsion to "supe up" your car. No history lesson this week, just a plain old school Odd Dad Out bitching.

ODO Ep 16 WTF Superbowl

I think this is going to go down as the Superbowl of WTF. Ok, it's established that I don't "like" sports especially, but that doesn't stop me from watching "The Big Game" on principle. After all you don't have to care about the teams to appreciate the event. There is always plenty to enjoy and ridicule besides the football game anyway.
