Finding My Footing 11/11/2024

Finding My Footing It's the post-election episode and I discuss coping. Surviving. Even thriving, if we dare. How you doing? I'm taking a bit of a social media sabbatical. Backing off the news too. What are your plans for moving through the political fray? Maybe you could become at artist. A guy in Italy just sold fruit taped to a canvas for a ridiculous amount of money. Maybe I should try that. See you soon, y'all! /episode/index/show/2896c88b-cf39-4f36-ba76-630f372b4157/id/33879862

Too Many Wieners 10/17/2024

Too Many Wieners Welcome to the Outta Toon Podcast my friends! This week, Al Pacino declares there is no afterlife. This, from a man who did two Godfather movies after the original. Can we trust him? I participated in early voting with the rest of the seniors today. We're all in trouble, folks. Atlanta Pride was fun as usual. Let's get our Halloween on this week. If your name is Dick Wiener, maybe this isn't the best episode for you to listen to. Fair warning. See you soon, friends. /episode/index/show/2896c88b-cf39-4f36-ba76-630f372b4157/id/33505947

Flood 09/30/2024

Flood This week I'm fighting my Tennessee accent, battling my inability to remember things and hoping to help some friends and family affected by the recent hurricane.

Hey, let's try again in a few days. /episode/index/show/2896c88b-cf39-4f36-ba76-630f372b4157/id/33268892

If You've Seen One Mall... 08/27/2024

If You've Seen One Mall... This week I'm freaking out at the process of ordering from Amazon. Is it better than going to the malls of the 70s and 80s? Well, no, but you take what you get, right? Do you have a favorite dog breed? If youve been listening for awhile, you may know mine so now I need to know yours. Drop me a Facebook post and let me know. Thanks for hanging out again. Let's get some autumn going soon! /episode/index/show/2896c88b-cf39-4f36-ba76-630f372b4157/id/32767497

Saved By Magnesium 08/16/2024

Saved By Magnesium This week I'm wondering about dating for older people. I don't know why. I'm not needing to date. But I suppose I'm just looking out for the elderly. Where are the best places to date? How are older people even making frends? I want to know this stuff. I've started planning for Halloween, folks. I'm planning on a Halloween story epidode of the podcast. Get ready for it and let me know if you'd like to participate. I'm still experiencing a bit of creative crisis. I will say, though, that I've discovered a secret about the creative life I'll share with you. It's mostly free. And fun. Those are always good things. See you next week. /episode/index/show/2896c88b-cf39-4f36-ba76-630f372b4157/id/32607597

Java Jive 08/08/2024

Java Jive Getting back into the swing of things this week and looking for a good formula for coffee. Do you have one? Do you have a specific coffee/water ratio for your recipes which you have developed over years of experimenting? If so, feel free to share. It's back to school week so I've been out buying three ring binders and new sneakers from Kmart. Eh. I guess the kids don't do that anymore. I gripe a little bit about politics on this show. Please forgive me. I won't do it again. I hope. See you soon... /episode/index/show/2896c88b-cf39-4f36-ba76-630f372b4157/id/32506522

The Triumphant Return 07/29/2024

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

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

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
