It's another silly brain week. But this week I came to the realization that I may have reached peak adulting. Honestly I may be a little too excited about my new rake and my wife's new office chair. We also spent most of the week binging and introducing our boys to the Nickelodeon shows of our childhood via the new Paramount+ streaming service. I've gotta admit that I get a bit defensive of my TV nostalgia after a bit. But I stand by all of it. If you want to know more about the 5th Annual Lives...

I don't know why, but I was just in a giggly mood through this whole episode. Maybe it was the long night. Maybe it was the instant coffee at 3 am. I was just in a goofy mood. So try as I might to talk about the boys going back to on-campus school, I just tangented all over the place. Badass grilled cheese, sibling rivalry, Queen Elizabeth, and ...

For the sake of trying my best to focus on something, This week is all about our latest experience in mini-vacationing. We took a little spring break trip to a cabin at the Patagonia Lake State Park. Long story short, it was a gorgeous view of a beautiful lake in southern Arizona with hiking trails, lots of birdwatching, and lots of campfire cooking. It was also freezing balls, windy as hell, and I was constantly being dragged around by an annoyingly curious husky. Oh yeah, and there were wild c...

Whether that actually happens is anyone's guess. On that note, we recently had a major trip to the dentist for one of our little monsters, and the outcome is going to get expensive. Also, I've got my more in depth review of "The Box Of Oddities." And in my new "What's Adam Listening to/ Watching" segement, my wife and I just finished binging ...

Time away to think Being away from the podcast for these last few months has given me some time to think about what I want to do with things.

The situation with “distance learning” and the battle over mine and my wife’s schedules has reached a point that we are having to make serious changes. Because of our separate work schedules, it has been very difficult to balance work and our boys’ school lessons. We are now having to look into changing our work schedules to accommodate it all. Ultimately, the issue lies with the need to supervise our younger boys during their school day, my wife working during school hours, and my graveyard wor...

Kind of a follow up to last week's freak out over the upcoming "distance learning" back to school season, this week I'm talking about how it went and how we addressed that pesky issue of when I'm supposed to sleep. Side note: With Episode 200 coming up soon, what sort of giveaway would you like this time around? Any ideas for what you'd like me to do for the big show? I honestly have no idea. Maybe another livestream giveaway, if I can swing it... -SUPPORT THE SHOW- MERCH and Art https://shop.od...

Long story short: school is starting back up this week for my boys and it's got me a little freaked out, especially for our new Kindergartner. Add that to not knowing how/if I'm going to get any sleep during the boys school days, how/if I'll have time to manage the podcast, and my half-brained idea to start live streaming the podcast and my art.

Rather, this week’s Recommended Listening will highlight a few podcasts that have changed since the last time I talked about them. Not much “Florida Man” in this week’s news, but a whole lot of stupid. And we’ve recently had to make a major change in our plans around the house. Not A Great Time For a Road Tr...

I didn't plan it this way, but it's time for the "Guest of The Month!" And because I wasn't planning to record yet, and she was bored, I'm talking to my wife, ReAnna. (Seriously, recording this was all her idea.) As much as I love my guest episodes, I'm always excited when my wife wants to sit down and record, because no matter what we're talking about, we're still being silly and giving each other crap the entire time. This time around we're going deeper into what we've had going on around the ...

I’m a cook. Matt is a trained chef. We can talk food about as much as we can talking podcasting. As a matter of fact, this half of the conversation is the reason I split it into two episodes in the first place. No trigger warning this week except to say, maybe don’t listen if you’re hungry.

For the next two weeks I'll be releasing my "interview" with Matt Heyman from "PreRecorded Live." In part 1 of the interview, we get into a wide range of topics. From general tech, to home improvement, and even to how we would cope with various life changing traumas, including Matt's three brushes with cancer. This episode actually touches on some heavier topics, namely my personal robbery trauma, Matt's cancer battles, and how we feel we would cope with certain traumatic situations. Of course t...

It’s guest time again Oddballs. This time I have Donna Johnson from the “Broken Compass” podcast, which is a very new podcast featuring Donna and her best friend Angela talking about, well, all of the things they like to talk about. It’s a little bit true crime, a little bit conspiracies, and a little bit just a couple of moms bullshitting. Like me, Donna is the stay-at-home parent to her two boys, so this conversation gets way into all of the “fun” of being a parent that they just don’t warn yo...
