City Slickers: NAPODPOMO Day 2

Today I watched the classic Billy Crystal movie, City Slickers for the first time in at least 10 years. It really takes me back to my childhood. Easily one of my all time favorite movies. Check it out on Netflix. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Intro To NAPODPOMO 2022

I've been out for a while and I'm using national podcast post month to try and jump back into the podcast. Full transparency, I'm doing all of these raw straight to my phone with no editing or post production and improvised music cues. The plan is to just do a quick in and out story every day to get back into the groove of podcasting and to not take up too much of your valuable time. Hosted on Acast.

Snowballing From Monsoons to Letterkenny and Back Again: ODO 224

The snowball that is my train of thought is all over the place this week. Why is it I keep starting off by talking about the weather? Of course, this rolls into a little chat about the side effects of having such an active monsoon season, like my yard getting overgrown and the damage on our local tree population. Naturally, this rolls into garden talk and about how it's almost September and that it's been nearly a year with my truck and we're still working on getting things fixed to get it legal...

Monsoons, Medals, and Old House Memories: ODO 223

After the topic of my truck dying leads to a longer than expected chat about the weather, namely the recent monsoon storms. I've got an update on how my boys did at the ATA Taekwondo World Championships. Later on, I get into my recent feelings of nostalgia over a home from my childhood and how I hold a completely unjustified sense of ownership over it.

Is Anybody There? : ODO 222

It's been 5 months since I've been able to sit down behind the mic. So naturally I ramble on about all of the why's. Then get into a mini rant about comedy, I graze over a few things that have happened in the last few months, and I challenge YOU to keep me to my word to be back again next week to talk about the World Taekwondo Championships.

Working With My Hands: ODO 221

This week inadvertently became all about working with my hands. From fixing up my late father-in-law's truck, to working in the garden, to my many years of cooking, and even to some degree podcast editing I come to realize that I really just like working with my hands.

Popcorn, Potato Attacks, and Pastry Competition: ODO 220

I'm back from my unplanned annual holiday break and I'm going to try to get back into the old swing of things. More gardening stories, more rants, new movie/ TV/ podcast recommendations, and the return of BS From The News and the Jackass of the Week.

My Harrowing Tale Of Interstate Travel: ODO 219

Last weekend I had the opportunity to go on a little solo trip back to Texas to retrieve my late father in-law's truck along with some assorted other items. The drive back home could have gone a little smoother...

Another ER Trip and An Unfortunate Paranormal Activity: ODO 217

When it rains it pours. Barely 2 days after getting home from the hospital from our last adventure, I had to rush our dog to the emergency vet, not once but twice in two days. I also offer my less than stellar thoughts on "Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin" on Paramount+.

One Long Trip To The Hospital: ODO 216

No news this week. Just telling the long complicated story of how my son broke his arm this week and the days long process of getting him patched up. From a tumble in taekwondo class, to visiting two separate emergency rooms, to finally needing surgery to get everything put back together, it was a very long couple of days.

Lost In The Woods: ODO 215

Another week of sounding different, but this time I think it's from my new allergy meds. And in typical "me" style, I have a really long meandering story about our latest camping trip, getting lost hiking multiple times, and being sick that technically does relate to that first point. Speaking of lost in the woods, my one news story is about a criminal who did just that, and ended up needing a police rescue.

Too Much Talk About Genitals: ODO 214

This week is a weird one. I'm not gonna lie. After some health talk, I get into our recent TV habits, including the new Hulu series "Only Murders In The Building." I give a brief garden update, and a heads up on our upcoming fall camping trip. Then the news takes an unexpected turn into the world of genital manipulation and I just can't seem to escape. Not even when I get into how Skrillex's music can repel mosquitos. Did I mention it got weird? I'm pretty sure I mentioned it got weird... Leave ...

Singin' In The Car Voice: ODO 213

I'm sounding a little different this week on account of spending my drive home from work singing my head off to "The Commitments" soundtrack. I expand on a blog post I wrote this week about my difficulty recording the podcast recently. Plus, a return of the news featuring a suspicious social media post and a crafty artist. And a big announcement about myself and the next season of "The Rise Of King Asilas." Join the Facebook Group Oddballs: Friends of The Odd Dad Out https://www.facebook.com/gro...

Stuck In School Traffic: ODO 210

Leave Me a Voicemail ‪(516) 636-7631‬ (ODO-POD1) The boys are back to school, and to say that after school traffic was a nightmare is being disrespectful to nightmares.

Sorry If I Broke Your Brain: ODO 207

Leave Me a Voicemail ‪(516) 636-7631‬ (ODO-POD1) I don't even know what happened this week. I started out talking about my boys being in Summer school and playing games. I sidetracked into playing sports in school when I was a kid. Veered into teaching my boys taekwondo. I also taught them about how mosquitos spread malaria via a very odd ice cream metaphor. I realized that beyond potty training, nobody teaches you squat about parenting. And I think I landed on an existential crisis. I'm sorry i...

Counterfeit Vaseline and Llama Marshmallows: ODO 206

A Little Show About Little Things: ODO 204

I'm a little lower energy this week. Just a bit tired so I keep things short for once. But "holy mashed potatoes Batman!" I actually have a general theme this week. It's all about the little things that have dominated my life this week. Starting with flowers on my pumpkins and watermelons going into my very first successfully grown potatoes, and ending with our new kitten.

ODO 203: How Did I Even Get Here?

It's another one of those, train of thought falling off the tracks, kind of weeks. What I can tell you is that my brain goes all over the place with topics and thoughts. What I can't tell you is how exactly I got from where I started to where I ended up. I know I talked about fixing up my office and my wife's job. Somehow I got into the various responsibilities of my pets. I think I touch on my content production schedule, my existence as a walking series of contradictions, and something about m...
