FUCK!!!!!! Ben Sheehan, who is a rockstar political/constitutional expert to help me understand how things got so bad, how we can make them better and what each of us can do to fight for the America we want to live in. He's written a book, OMGWTF Does the Constitution Actually Say? This book is like a cheat sheet for this of us who need a refresher course in how our government works. While this isn't the sexiest episode, it's full of really helpful information about how we got here, and how we can make it better, one vote at a time. This is it guys. WINTER HAS COME. Everyone,...

January 20th 2017...Day 1 of 1300.....the day Lord Voldermorts reign of terror began! What a day it was, the sky was smothered in gray clouds, the air was thick with whatever the opposite of hope is, giant military Hum Vees were parked all over with pods of nervous looking Army guys milling around. Helicopters hovered menacingly, circling the sky, their blades adding to the symphony of fear playing on repeat throughout downtown. Sirens were going off in every direction and it generally felt like we were waiting for god to set the whole city on fire ala Sodom and Gomorrah. I was raised on...

I have a giant black hole growing inside my body and this election has helped it zero percent. No matter what happens, we are divided, the scum of the dark recesses from all over this great nation have crawled out of their bomb shelters holding their semi automatic riffles, embolden by the joker smile of an Orwellian megalomaniac who has allowed bigotry, xenophobia and racism to squirm out of the rug it's been hiding under and we are left holding our dicks in our hands looking like the biggest fucking joke country of all time. It's embarrassing. The time is now, there is no choice but to start...

Hey guys this a podcast I did in conjunction with Infamous Podcast by Campside media, about my religious experience at gathering of the jugglalos. ENJOY ! Few musical acts have played the heel as well as the Insane Clown Posse. In 2011, the FBI even classified Juggalos, the group’s rabid fans, as a criminal gang. But still, every year, tens of thousands of fans make a pilgrimage to Legend Valley, Ohio, for a week of all-out debauchery. Zoe Nightingale reports from inside America’s most notorious music festival. Behind every infamous news story is a journalist trying to hold power to...

I feel like Ahab lost in a sea of hatred looking for a great white whale to give my life meaning again. I literally don't know what to do or say anymore. The hate is so deep, the ideology is so wrong. I left this country to get away from this and the moment I'm back I literally trip and land on the laps of two actual real life trump voting, grand wizard loving men. These two were gems. Fathers, business owners, best friends, hard working Americans..and the are the reason Trump got elected. We are fucked fucked fucked fucked fucked fucked fucked. I won't spoil it,...

Greeting and salutations my fair weather friends, apologies for my absence, but I needed to take a break from my own brain and reorient my north star. However, I'm back! This is my first humble offering, coverage of the best day of all time, the day that Joe Biden officially won the presidency, and NYC erupted into actual flames of celebration. THIS IS OF COURSE 4 YEARS AGO - THE QUESTION IS WHAT WILL HAPPEN NOW. CAN WE DO IT CAN WE ACTUALLY ELECT A POWERFUL BLACK WOMAN AND MAYBE ACTUALLY GET RID OF ALL THESE OLD WHITE SCHMECKLES AND DO ANYTHING FOR A TINY GRAIN OF SAND OF CHANGE?...

info_outlineAs a podcaster, in moments like this, you want more than ever to be able to take your microphones to the streets and be able to amplify as many voices as you possibly can and try to help further causes like Black Lives Matter.
However, I am deep in Colorado on road trip with my entire family with almost no access to the internet or phone service so for now, I am proceeding with another podcast that was scheduled for this week and will have to wait to join in the protests when I return to NYC this Monday.
I promise you, I will do everything in my power to see the systemic racism that has plagued our country since it's inception stopped. I will do it with storytelling, fundraising, protesting, and getting representatives elected who can actually change the laws that have for centuries purposefully tried to suppress, oppress and incarcerate the African American community.
But for now, I bring you the story of Dakota Gruener, the founder and CEO of ID2020. A person that I am honored to call a friend and a woman who is doing work that I think is exceptionally important. For the last four years she has been a champion of the voiceless, working tirelessly to provide vaccines, upward mobility and resources to the world's most vulnerable all around the world.
Earlier this year, she was targeted by none other than my least favorite person ever, Alex Jones on his garbage show Info Wars. Because of the nonsense he spun, a slew of internet trolls threatened her life and I am very very angry about it.
Normally I wouldn't even want to bring any kind of light to the heartless, disgusting, lie infested work that he does, but this time I felt like I needed to because it's a ripe opportunity to shed light on exactly the kind of poison people like him are spewing into the world.
He entangled her in a conspiracy theory so idiotic and insane that I wanted to give her an opportunity to explain that work that she actually does, and in doing so hopefully help continue to bring awareness to her life mission.
I love you Dakota.
Lastly, fuck you Alex Jones. Fuck Info Wars and fuck all of you soulless internet trolls who hide behind your lies and conspiracies and turn fear into dollar signs, you disgust me.
Stay safe, get out there, pick up your signs, make your voice heard, fight for the future and the present you want to live in.
