Dad Snark Podcast

I've got it folks. It's highly contagious too if you go down the rabbit hole on YouTube like I have. But first, you'll hear how strange the whole toilet paper madness thing is to me. Of course, things have transpired since I recorded this and they've become more grave for us all. It's seriously time to "Netflix and Chill" on a whole new level. Here, I'll get you started with some cool Raspberry Pi...

You've all seen/heard so much about the Coronavirus over the past few weeks. This is a big deal, but we're freaking the eff out as Americans. What's going on? What can I do? How can I stay safe? Where can I get a great Mexican beer? I try to answer these questions and more in this special report. Don't forget to review and send me a message about it so that you can be entered to win this snappy ne...

So, this one starts out pretty rough. I will not get into specifics, but there was something posted online by a loved one that doesn't tell the story correctly. It also makes yours truly look like a total and complete monster. I'm not a monster people. I go into it a little here in the "What's Bugging Me" part of the show and it's not a happy thing. After the break, I get into what I'm into. The t...

So, that's the question here. What's the answer? I start out, rightfully, giving the Chiefs props on a kickass season and SuperBowl victory. Amazing game indeed. Next, I go right into how we treat women in this country (and really around the world) right now. I don't get it at all. I've been listening to the podcast "Chasing Cosby" and it's remarkable how these women have been treated after coming...

Back from the car...it's me! On the subject of what's bugging me...ridiculously defending political correctness can be ridiculous. Look, I'm down with treating people better. We've evolved to the point we are and we need to act like it. Part of that is treating people fairly. I don't think we're so good at it though. Especially the radical defenders of political correctness that end up causing mor...

Lots of fun in this episode. To start off, you'll hear the lovely tones of Exotica Vol. III, by Martin Denny. Its fun music you may, or may not, like. Straight into what's bugging me. I cannot stand that we're questioning "Climate Change" as something that's real. The evidence is in, dummies, and it's for realsies . Recycling, though very underemployed as far as an industry, is easier than ever. T...

Well, here we are. Another week gone by. It's been hectic at Trail Estates and I'm a running to and fro with all the activities the daughter is involved in. I'm not complaining though...much anyway. I wanted to discuss mental illness awareness some more. I know, broken record right? Thing is, I'm free. I've come clean and I discuss my issues freely. Most people are not. They hide it and it can cau...

Yeah, so this one's a little rushed, but the good news is that it won't take you too awful long to listen to it. I start off talking about folks who mindlessly follow and shrug off any facts (scientific or otherwise) to the contrary. It sucks and I know we've all dealt with it. So, I spout off about it some. I go over some of the stuff I'm currently into and then I come back to the fact that you n...

A little sneak episode for you guys right before JC's birthday. In this episode, I'm driving to work fresh out of an appointment with my therapist. I discuss how to help yourself when you're having some thoughts associated with depression or even some anxiety. It's not fool proof by any means. You have to know when it's something more than you can handle indeed. You might think of trying this meth...

Here's the ending, finally, of this episode. So much discussed here that it's just something you must experience for yourself. We do discuss the POTA (Planet of the Apes) franchise and it's history. We talk about Bigfoot. We talk more about some Star Wars. Beer. Yeah, that's about all you need right? So, here's a link for MC Norris author page . Go pick yourself out something nice for the holidays...

So, here's part two of this mammoth of an episode. We cover a ton of Star Wars in here. Primarily focusing on The Mandalorian and Baby Yoda. There's more beer drinking and including a very special beer we down on this particular Naturday night. Keep listening and rate and review folks!

Wow! I mean, I knew we'd be recording for a while last weekend. But, over 7 hours? Holy cow! Yeah, well the good news is that I have a lot of new material for you all. As you can see here, I'm breaking it up into chunks over the next few weeks. More digestible that way I think. This first part is the opening and some discussion on the current status of the podcast compared to what it was when it a...

Coming out of the gates rather strongly with a little ZZ Top's "Deguello" playing on my new 1byOne turntable . I thank you all so very much for listening and talking about what I've discussed over the past few weeks. It means alot to know that you're listening and that you appreciate what I'm saying. After all that, I launch into "What's Bugging Me?" and discuss being honest with yourself. So many...

When it comes to vinyl? Yeah, probably. It sure is fun though. So, I discuss the comments and impact of the previous episode's content. Specifically the "What's Bugging Me" segment in it. It was great to hear from an old friend and help him know he's not in this alone. After the ad, I discuss more and more and more vinyl and some special testing/reviews I'm involved with. Great stuff upcoming folk...

So, I start out by owning up to the fact that I was going through a rather heavy time. I am diagnosed with Clinical Depression and sometimes it rears it's ugly head. Monday was surely a time during which this was happening. It's relatively out of my control and I DO see a therapist and take anti-depressants, so it doesn't happen like this too very often. It still does though. It sucks also, but I...

So, I apologize for my outburst last week...sort of. Then I begin to go off a little on these folks that are seemingly in the world's biggest hurry when I'm commuting daily (primarily in the morning). After the break, and some gloating on scoring some Episode IX tix for opening night, I go into mucho record talk. From the recent acquisitions as far as records go to the Garrard turntable system I p...

So, in this very special episode, I go off on folks who feel empowered (falsely) on social networking. After the break, I come back with a little more positivity and a lot less foul language. I cover some of my recent album purchases and then go into a few shows I'm watching and a TPB I'm digging as well. Look, I've been skimping on the notes, but I'm gonna get back into the swing here soon. For n...

So, I wouldn't know where to begin on this episode. First off, it's a tad longer than normal. We cover alot and I drone on about a few things. We have another call in from our buddy in the wild Orrie! (Gonna have to label him a field reporter here soon or maybe have him on as a guest.) And, the big bad news is that we have a guest in this episode. Keith Beard joins and has more than his "two cents...

Gearing up for a big record with Keith Beard of Weirded Wonder for the next episode. Going back to the original format of the show also. Should be a keeper. Show notes are chock full of excitement this week, so enjoy. I can't wait to record and drop the next episode for you all. Please review!

It's a little more of the same. I mean, we have a call in from Orrie in Ohio (I know), so there's that. Fun stuff. More vinyl and suggestions on what to watch. Do yourself a favor and check out the film "Hereditary" when you get the chance. It's incredible. Show notes here .

Well, we went and did it again. I mean, under the guise of doing something important for the podcast, we got a little ripped tasting tequila. Got a great tequila story? Leave a message!  

There's a lot in here. First things first, though. Leave a voice message please about any traffic situation similar to what I discuss. I'll check it out and you might just end up on the show. A huge star like myself. Into more and more albums too. They're coming in droves. Wanna see what I got? Go here then. Possibly a special report coming this week as well.

What can I say? I'm hunting records like crazy people! This one starts off with me giving away the ABox USB-C hub to Beard Esquire III. Yep he won that folks! But don't sweat it, there's gonna be more stuff in the near future. I move immediately to just griping about how rude and inconsiderate people are out there. The lack of etiquette is astounding and super sad. Now onto what I'm into, and it's...

Well friends, I was commuting in and thought I'd share with you a few thoughts about "It - Chapter Two" which my homeboy Mikey and I caught at an advanced screening last night. Hottt Nerd Dads! It was a doozy. You'll have to listen to find out my thoughts, but I think it's easily worth a jaunt to the theatre if you're interested. Also, if you have kids that have seen the first, this one is fine to...
