The Conversationalist

the ways we distract ourselves to avoid facing our emotions, responsibilities, and inner struggles. From social media and partying to overworking and mindless scrolling, today I explore why we escape, the hidden costs of avoiding reality, and how to break free. If you’ve ever felt stuck in a cycle of distractions, this conversation is for you.

In this first episode of The Conversationalist , I’m sitting down with the mic to give you a real, unfiltered look at where life’s at right now — the highs, the lows, the lessons, and the in-between. This isn’t a polished highlight reel, just an honest start to what I hope becomes a space for real conversations about life, faith, growth, and figuring it all out together. Whether you’re here for th...

part two of MMM's first two-part weekly episode. cheers.

part one of this week's two-part episode...we're hittin' the realms of introspection this week. cheers.

i've said it once, and i'll say it again...situational music IS A REAL THING. that's all. cheers.

the ending of this episode screams a different level of "i'm running out of things to talk about". i love doing this lol. cheers

as i mention early on in this episode, oh man is it a task to come up with new things to talk about every week when you don't have a guest lined up. nonetheless, i decided to talk about none other than what i know everything about, myself. this ep really just takes a deep dive into something that i've always brushed off to the side and kept internalized throughout my earlier years, but now...

*disclaimer: The following episode is hosted by someone with absolutely zero formal education in philosophy, metaphysics, or any other big-word topics. In fact, the closest they've come to answering life's great mysteries is deciding what to order for takeout. So, if you're looking for wisdom, enlightenment, or anything remotely useful, you've come to the wrong place. But if you’re...

sometimes you need to take a break from being entertainer of the year, and sometimes you need to have just a down-to-earth, open conversation. this episode is that. cheers.

the kid's back this week. of course i'm talking about myself. i am joined, yet again, by brennon and we just talked about nothing for this entire episode. shoutout to me for carrying the weight of this episode. cheers.

viv's last appearance on the show (for awhile). no, she's not terminally ill or dying. Vivi has to go complete her post-secondary education and begin to step into adulthood. she'll be back by 2029. that's a fact.

brennon claims that he flew all the way out to Colorado from Utah (not a far trip, first of all) in order to film this episode. brennon is a compulsive liar. he came to colorado for work and desperately reached out to make an appearance, and i have a hard time saying "no", so here he is.

this week I am joined once again by Vivi, and we spent this episode diving into the purpose of a she-shed, bloody nose experiences, and various other post-work chit chat. comment and share or else i will be forced to rob a bank in order to financially stay afloat amidst this increasing economy. cheers, jt ig | the.jasonthornton

j'biden is out of the runnings for this year's election, so you know what that means...here's my campaign message to the american people; plus a bunch of nonsense per usual. cheers ig | the.jasonthornton | me.myselfandmic

yep, you read it right. without a doubt, hands down, the most famous guest this show has seen thus far into it, made their debut on this ep. hint: she's technically not real

title says it all. this one is a one-way trip to absolutely nowhere. thanks for listening

the long awaited arrival of the roommate and life long friend...*drum roll please*...kirk relford ladies and gents. from bad habits to gambling to resurrecting as michael jackson, this one's all over the place. cheers.

sound the alarm *whoop* *whoop* SEASON 2 is here ladies and gents. you might be asking yourself, how can the show possibly get any better? celebrity appearances? new recording studio? highest quality audio/video tech? merch? short answer: none of the above. rest assured, every ep in season 2 will include guest appearances, so stay locked in.

we made it to 10 eps. who knew? this one's all about doomscrolling tiktok conspiracy theories and societal etiquette rules that don't make sense. ig | the.jasonthornton

WE'RE SO BACK. Took last week off...because...well...I got nothin' for an excuse. Decided to take the show behind the wheel and on the road this week. Mixin' it up, yano. As always, buckle in (literally) for this week's rant. IG | the.jasonthornton

episode 8! we are chipping away at a million of these things. 50% of men think we can successfully land a commercial airplane in the event of crisis...that's where this one starts ig: the.jasonthornton follow the show @me.myselfandmic

starting to get a handle of this podcasting thing ig: jason_thornton2

got lost in the world of buzzfeed quizzes today. found out who my celebrity girlfriend is...it isn't margot or dua :(

title pretty much sums this one up. tiktok could be banned in the near future, but i personally believe all these other items should be banned way before tiktok itself.

when was the last time you received flowers? when was the last time you spoke to someone about your problems? ever wondered what poorly timed music in an inappropriate setting would sound like? cheap ig plug: jason_thornton2
