Wow! This one almost never saw the world of public podcasts. After recording half of this episode before both of our devices lost power, we came back to record the back end without listening to the beginning part, so yeah, we end up talking about totally different stuff in the second half of the episode than we started with. Oh well. We also thought for a while we lost some of the part 1 audio, so...

Fellow cruiser and podcaster, though there is no way we are on the same level, she is #goals, Genevieve Hassan sits down with Big Sexy on The Valiant Lady from Virgin Voyages to have a chat.

When in Vegas...We talk more about Judge's trip to Vegas. Jumping around, we probably get near the end of it with most of the shenanigans that he wishes to tell. Great, because in 2 weeks he's heading back there for more learning (and fun). Big Sexy is settled into his new European life, and has started taking siestas! This week we answer some cruise questions from Twitter and a listener e...

This week we learn a little more about Big Sexy's journey so far in Spain, and an Italian Air show type of hotel situation that ultimately may have he and Nilla in a better spot than they anticipated. We also dive into days 2 and 3 of Judge's recent trip to Vegas, and learn more about a project that he and Brogan put together that caught the eye of a Las Vegas legend! Write us, email us, D...

Oh man. After about 2 weeks since the most recent "fresh" episode Big Sexy is in Spain, and his 15 day transatlantic cruise is over.

Schedules are weird, and when trying to link up with our guest in China, a host in Las Vegas, and another host in Maryland, it doesn't always work. Big Sexy takes the lead on this interview with the spectacular Kara Berry. She is a performed Big Sexy met on a cruise a long time ago and has stayed in touch over the years. She is currently working at a resort in China. They discuss being a perfo...

By the time you listen to this episode Big Sexy will be sailing away from the US in yet another step in the Digital Nomad Journey. Judge Mentalist has a very interesting experience in a 3 day jury trial that makes him feel akin to Penn & Teller, except in the court room. The tactic has resulted in nearly a million dollars in jury awards in just two trials so far. We get some listener mail with...

Episode 30?!?! you've gotta be kidding me. These fools are still listening to themselves talk?!? All joking aside, this is a fun milestone, sorta, but it's no episode 80! Judge Mentalist details his bonus days in Vegas and how much better they went as opposed to the first 5 days. Big Sexy gets the flu, and now it always creates a potential COVID concern! We get listener e-mails about trave...

Judge Mentalist and Big Sexy are live (at the time of recording) in Las Vegas, again at the same place at the same time---trust us, this is the last time to experience this in quite some time! Big Sexy's travel plans for Blaxit2023 continue to solidify. Judge Mentalist is a few hours away from flying home (or at least he thinks so at the time of the recording) We recount a week of Vegas, linking u...

Big Sexy has horrible memory, and he demonstrates that legitimately several times through this episode. Judge Mentalist is en route to Vegas soon, and trying to remember everything he needs to bring, including gifts for Brogan and others. Judge Mentalist is also returning to Vegas in June to learn hypnotism, which should be a good time.

We're back at it, and a little out of time sync due to travel and dropping a pre recorded episode out of order. When have we not embraced time travel shenanigans on this podcast? It's kinda what we do..... Big Sexy talks about local happenings in SoCal, and more solidified, yet ever fluid travel plans for the months ahead. Judge Mentalist forgets his name initially, but he's probably jet lagged fr...

Big Sexy goes to the Magic Castle in Hollywood, and has some wardrobe questions, but no issues getting in as he came prepared. Judge Mentalist prepares to audition for a popular TV show, and realizes that math in your head isn't necessarily the same as math in real life. We get an audio postcard from Raoul Duke, and discuss ideas for the format of the show, and yet another change to Big Sexy's Bla...

We're back again! Yep, still doing this thing. Big Sexy's plans for the cross country trip have been modified, but are still very much on point. Judge Mentalist gets back from his cruise and gives us feedback on the overall cruise, smuggling booze, and the magic on board...A motivating experience to say the least. We get into the affinity that Elkton has for the Mind Noodler and discuss some of th...
