Spring Break Cleaning and Sexy Time Mishaps: ODO 140

Spring break is here and the boys are home, so what does that mean for me? It’s time to do some spring cleaning. To be fair, we also decided to make some fresh lemonade, (because Arizona.) In the news I’ve got another fake kidnapping, a questionable use of a t-shirt cannon, and what can only be described as the worst sexual experience imaginable. In Recommended Listening, the sexual news seems like the perfect opportunity to talk about this extra naughty podcast, it’s “Two 2 Girls, One Mic: The ...

Good Morning bad Decisions: ODO 139

Holy cow the news has so many people just making bad decisions. Dumb rappers, horrible mothers, and someone who just doesn’t care about that warning sign at the zoo. All that aside, I’ve had my hands full juggling home/work/podcast stuff this week, including taking our little Bug to Kindergarten orientation. We went to see “Welcome To Night Vale” live last week, and as such, this week’s featured podcast is their commentary show, “Good Morning Night Vale.” Subscribe to ODO at http://odddadoutpodc...

Catching Up Around The House: ODO 138

It has been a hectic couple of weeks around the "Odd" house. Between getting sick (again) and crazy weather, I have gotten behind on some housework. Of course, the boys aren't about to stop adding more to that list of headaches. On top of that, I've got a full load of "BS From the News" ranging from fake kidnappings to questionable drug testing.

Dirty Bits of Addictive Candy ODO 136

Just when I think I’ve escaped the most addictive candy based mobile game in history, my wife just has to pull me back in. But that’s not all. I’ve also got a few words to say about Peeps as well. In the news I have an ironic fire and another repeat offender. It’s the return of Martina Big in the Jackass of the Week. Finally, after what has got to be the longest wait of any planned feature, this week I am talking all about “The Dirty Bits Podcast.” Curse You Candy Crush! You all remember Candy C...

Stupid, Busy, Strange: ODO 135

Man! When it rains, it pours. In this case, I’m flooded with new opportunities in voice acting for podcasts. Of course, that wont keep me from bitching about douchebag grooms and pre-infected tissues. And I swear I featured this show before, but I can’t remember when. I’m talking about “Poplar Cove.” I’ve got Voice Acting Work! I have talked about my side business as a podcast editor and my aspirations as a voice actor in the past. I’ve even voiced some parts for a few other podcasts. Well, in t...

Playing With Chris Osborne: ODO 133

It's time for January's guest of the month, and starting the year off is Chris Osborne from "Play Comics" and the "Meddling Kids" podcasts. Of course we talk about Chris' shows, and because I can't keep my brain on straight we go off into an assortment of tangents.

Bronchitis Sucks: ODO 132

I’ve been sick. That’s about it. Long story short, I had a wicked cough last week that was kicking my ass and I just didn’t have the energy to record. Fast forward to this Tuesday and I wake up with a very familiar pain. My bronchitis had flared up and I could hardly get out of bed. And I get around to the news I promised last week. Bronchitis Is A Bitch So, I spent about 15 years as a restaurant manager. In that time I ingested more than my fair share of smoke, grease, and toxic cleaning vapors...

New Year New Whatever: ODO 130

Happy New Year 2019!! It’s the first new episode of the year, and that means it’s time to make plans for what I want to do on the show this year that I’ll probably never get to. Plus I’ve got a little tease for some ideas and recommendations coming up this year. I realize I do this just about every year. Right around new year’s I look back on all of the things I did last year, and all of the things that I want to do in the coming year. Honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever really kept up any one of ...

Plethora of Perplexus: ODO 129

Happy holidays to you. This week I’ve got a tale of too many “Perplexi,” an oddly large number of humorous news stories about guns, a “Jackass” who wants to trade pot for a Big Mac, and I don’t care if Paul Csomo already mentioned it, in “Recommended Listening” I’m talking about Weird With You. Hope you had a great holiday, whatever holiday you celebrate. For us that would be Yule, but that doesn’t mean that we don’t give presents. But when you’ve got 4 boys who get jealous of everything, you ha...

Sugar Cookies and Christmas Songs ODO 128

It’s almost Christmas. Why not add a little holiday cheer to the show. Gareth’s Random Ramblings is doing their annual Christmas series, and we even got into the spirit this weekend decorating gingerbread houses. Of course I’ve still got a “Jackass of the Week” that throws all that holiday spirit out the window. This year my wife decided that we should try to do some more traditional things for the holidays. As such, my wife decided that we were going to decorate gingerbread houses and sugar coo...

Day 30 #NAPODPOMO Extra Super Special Guest Heather Welch

It's Friday November 30th, the final day of National Podcast Post Month. And to close things out, I decided to have my very best pod-friend, Extra Super Special Guest, Heather Welch from "Sunshine and Powercuts" on for little other reason than just that I love talking with her. Of course there are a few cases of kids and dog interference, but what would this show be without those sort of things? It is always so great to get to talk with Heather. She is such a sweet person. Why the hell is she fr...
