Manly, Yes, But I Like It Too 05/08/2024

Manly, Yes, But I Like It Too Hi friends! I'm heading out on vacation tomorrow. Taking our dogs but we're leaving the cats behind. Hope they're going to be okay. I'm a little anxious about it. Someone will be house sitting and checking on them but I'm still stressed about it. Got a lot of things packed up in my travel tote. It's not a purse! I swear! At least I don't think it is. Dudes are carrying purses now days. I guess it's okay. Right? Oh man. I'll let you know how it all goes. See you next week. /episode/index/show/2896c88b-cf39-4f36-ba76-630f372b4157/id/31188817

This Podcast Sucks 05/03/2024

This Podcast Sucks Hi folks! Welcome to episode 97 of the Outta Toon Podcast! We'll soon be at our 100th show! This week I give an update on life events, look at some strange people and happenings around the world and discuss how we are all artists. I was told this week that the podcast sucks, which most of us already know, so I tried to make this one extra sucky. Let me know if it worked. See you next week, friends. /episode/index/show/2896c88b-cf39-4f36-ba76-630f372b4157/id/31103328

Tales From The Butt 04/25/2024

Tales From The Butt I'm starving here. No food for 24 hours. No food or drink for the next several hours. Today is my colonoscopy. So much fun. Looking forward to a beer and fries though. Also, this weekend is the big birthday. Getting old is not too bad. Might as well celebrate it. I'll keep you updated. Thanks for hanging out, friends. See you again soon. /episode/index/show/2896c88b-cf39-4f36-ba76-630f372b4157/id/30984408

What I've Learned 04/16/2024

What I've Learned Greetings everyone! Welcome to episode 95 of the Outta Toon Podcast! We're speeding quickly toward episode 100 and I'm ready for it how about you? As I prepare to celebrate my birthday in a couple weeks I reflect on just what the heck I've done over my life. What have I accomplished? What have I learned? I've come to realize recently that I've only learned one thing about life. I think it is the actual "Secret of Life!" Fortunately, I share my knowledge in this very episode so you can now know it too. Sorry the episode is a bit long but it's the secret to life, people! What did you expect?? Geez. See you again soon. /episode/index/show/2896c88b-cf39-4f36-ba76-630f372b4157/id/30854413

Revenge of an Angry God 04/08/2024

Revenge of an Angry God Today was a total eclipse of the sun (FYI: There is a total eclipse of the sun every single moment in time, depending upon your location...). Consequently, some religious group assumed this would be a good time for god to do its business. So, how are you? Did you survive? Did you get raptured or eye damage? Hope not. I discovered a very strange thing about the song "Don't Worry, Be Happy" this week. Join me as I uncover the supidity of tons of people. I'm still digesting the delicious food from my first Ramadan Iftar. You shoulda been there. Join me next year. See you soon, folks! /episode/index/show/2896c88b-cf39-4f36-ba76-630f372b4157/id/30738503

Old and Horny 03/28/2024

Old and Horny This week I'm counting down one month until my Bedian Birthday. I need something cool to do for celebration. Any ideas? Contact me if you think of something. I've noticed that getting older doesn't mean you don't appreciate the beauty of the human body. Only problem is, no one wants to know. I want to let you know about a couple of awesome documentaries. Both entertaining and thought provoking. Also, have you seen my tape? /episode/index/show/2896c88b-cf39-4f36-ba76-630f372b4157/id/30582483

This Too Shall Pass 03/17/2024

This Too Shall Pass A return visit from pain has slowed me down the past few days but at this point everything seems to be looking up. I have new understandings about the body and also about who I am. Okay, yeah, this show is a bit metaphysical. Maybe a little spiritual. Not in a bad way, though. I'm having a cold one on this St. Patrick's Day, how about you? Erin go Bragh! /episode/index/show/2896c88b-cf39-4f36-ba76-630f372b4157/id/30411363

My Fake Porn Moves 03/06/2024

My Fake Porn Moves This week I tried AI art creation for the first time. Listen to this episode for the results. I kinda think AI has a promising future in the porn industry, including in some controversial ways. I've been getting back in touch with my "Philosophy of the Unfinished." It's something I starting working on a couple years ago and have been creating new art though its framework. Hope you are doing well, my friends. We'll talk again very soon. /episode/index/show/2896c88b-cf39-4f36-ba76-630f372b4157/id/30247418

Breaking Down 02/21/2024

Breaking Down An unexpected vacation brings up some questions, causes me to encounter some brutal facts and leads me to ask a few hard questions of my own. It's all fun though. Come join me and hang out for a few minutes. /episode/index/show/2896c88b-cf39-4f36-ba76-630f372b4157/id/30043333

King Of Pain This week I'm reflecting on the last month and a half of non-stop pain. I let you in on what that feels like and some methods I've been using to deal with it.

A Chat With Mike Poole 01/18/2024

A Chat With Mike Poole This week I talk to long-time kilt dude, law enforcement ninja and mystical monk, Mike Poole. We discuss kilting up. being a cop and taking over as the substitute pastor.

Sexy Vegetables 01/15/2024

Sexy Vegetables My wife and I have made a commitment to two things this year: Swedish Death Cleaning and eating 5 servings of fruits and vegetables every meal. It seems a bit excessive but I'm giving it a try. Did you know old guys used to slather avocado on their genitals? And the Christian church spread a rumor that tomatoes were poisonous? Who knew vegetables had such colorful pasts? Hey, speaking of pasts, what was you favorite diner, drive-in or dive when you were growing up? I remember mine. Let me know yours so I can tell everyone. Thanks for hanging out this week, friends. See you soon! /episode/index/show/2896c88b-cf39-4f36-ba76-630f372b4157/id/29498908

Not Dead 01/12/2024

Not Dead Back from holiday vacation! How is everyone? 2024 is okay so far. A few pains here and there but what do you expect with an old guy? So far this year I'm encountering pig dogs, "Diff'rent Strokes" conspiracies, fish and chips at Irish pubs and getting stabbed on New Year. Also, I have proof that we don't really die. Anything else? 'K, good. Here's to a good podcast year! /episode/index/show/2896c88b-cf39-4f36-ba76-630f372b4157/id/29453773

Old Acquaintances All Forgotten 12/28/2023

Old Acquaintances All Forgotten It's the last show of the year and I put a lid on Christmas, prepare for the coming apocalypse and wonder if I have any more packages coming my way. Thanks to everyone who spent a little time listening to the podcast. Let's hope next year the show will get good enough where you can not be embarrassed to tell other people you listen. Just don't tell your mom. She'll hate it. /episode/index/show/2896c88b-cf39-4f36-ba76-630f372b4157/id/29263218

Wise Otters Bearing Gifts 12/19/2023

Wise Otters Bearing Gifts It's less that a week before Christmas. Are you surviving? I'm doing pretty good. I'm trying to figure out how to get a ton of gifts into a tiny stocking. Any ideas? I'm having a few difficulties with shipping companies and gifts, too. I'm not sure it's supposed to be this bad. Speaking of bad, have you ever had vegetarian tuna? Don't. Just don't. Did you know the story of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer was actually a sad one? Not for Rudolph but for the writer? Let me tell you about it... See you soon, my friends. /episode/index/show/2896c88b-cf39-4f36-ba76-630f372b4157/id/29156233

Hay, It's Christmas! 12/13/2023

Hay, It's Christmas! This week I revisit an old discussion on the best Christmas tartans. Always good for discussion at holiday time. Additionally, I discuss girl apartment smells, nostalgic Christmases and making a difference in small ways. Things that seem worthy of attention at this festive season. Thanks for checking out the show. Reach out and say "hi" some time. /episode/index/show/2896c88b-cf39-4f36-ba76-630f372b4157/id/29058693

Nog For Your Noggin' 12/06/2023

Nog For Your Noggin' Hi friends! Speaking of friends, how are yours? Friends, I mean. Do you have any who are difficult to deal with? Is it time to consider cutting them loose? Sometimes it's worth evaluating. I'm enjoying a bit of eggnog so I decided to do an eggnog show. History of the nog, making the nog and spiking the nog. Now go have a cup of that sweet, fatty elixir. Weird, that was my old college nickname. See you Thursday. /episode/index/show/2896c88b-cf39-4f36-ba76-630f372b4157/id/28948608

Namaste Is As Namaste Does 11/28/2023

Namaste Is As Namaste Does Welcome to a new week, friends! I checked out the film "Killers Of The Flower Moon" this week. Give it a look if you like disgusting characters who make everyone's life hell. Kind of like me with this podcast. I was thinking about significant moments in my life like when I became a man and when I was (basically) told I couldn't sing. No one else knew how significant those moments were but I still knew. Also, I have to face the fact that I suck at the basics of spirituality. Maybe I should just give it up. I dunno. I'll probably keep trying. Interview show with Mike Faber coming up Thursday. It's a good one. Don't forget about it. See you then. /episode/index/show/2896c88b-cf39-4f36-ba76-630f372b4157/id/28824688

Digesting 11/25/2023

Digesting The day after Thanksgiving and I'm still dealing with my gluttonous holiday activities, how about you? Not as bad as previous years but, crap, I still got work to do. This year for the holidays we get a feud between Hall and Oates, which of course we were all looking forward to. So, how about we just get into a discussion of weird religions? Why not? It's something that can bring us all together this festive season. Hey, gang, hit me up if you need stickers. Hit me up if you need a chat. Just hit me up. See you next week. /episode/index/show/2896c88b-cf39-4f36-ba76-630f372b4157/id/28785003

Death Angels We Have Heard on High 11/21/2023

Death Angels We Have Heard on High 'Twas the Tuesday before Thanksgiving... Got your dinners all planned out? I asked you what your favorite non-traditional Thanksgiving meal is and I got several interesting responses. Me? I'll stick with the traditional tofu molded into a turkey. I was reading a bit about sea angels last week and thought I'd share a little about these freaky mollusks. Maybe you'll want to put one on top your tree this year! Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate! I'll talk with you on Friday. /episode/index/show/2896c88b-cf39-4f36-ba76-630f372b4157/id/28748648

Today, I'm planning a holiday dinner menu, planning a substantial haircut and planning on never watching Hallmark Christmas movies again. Yeah. Good luck with that. Let's discuss air travel and the destruction of expensive guitars and how to de-escalate conflicts at your family Thanksgiving gathering. I'm not an expert at any of those things but I'm an old white guy and I'm allowed to pontificate about things I know absolutely nothing about, right? Do me a favor and share the podcast this week. It really helps. See you next week! /episode/index/show/2896c88b-cf39-4f36-ba76-630f372b4157/id/28690783

If you don't know much about Diwali, here, let someone who also doesn't know much about Diwali explain it to you. It'll be like political talk at my house on Thanksgiving.
