Not Literary: An Unpretentious Story-Telling Show

Another short story from the book Not Literary, this one about a desperate man in a strip club and the all around f*ckery that was 2008. At the After Party, author Garin Pirnia joins us and we talk about our mutually wasted years in Chicago, blacking out, working for MyOpenBar, sex and big panties and trying to make good art (and a living) during the pandemic.

Music! Drugs! Weirdly baggy pants and butterfly hair clips! Let's take a trip back in time to the late 90s / early 2000s... I'm joined by a very special guest and we talk a lot about druggggggs babaaay! Also music. Fashion. Raves. General Fu*kery. This version of the episode is music free. If you're interested in listening to the music version you can open Spotify and listen to it there. Enjoy!

This is the story of the worst date I've ever been on in my entire life. At the after party, I'm joined by my friend Allison, who is the only person I know that's been on worse dates than I have. She has some real horror stories for you! Get ready for unsolicited dick pics, a butt guy with trypophobia, Yogi's on ecstasy and much, much more. Oh, and Auriane makes her debut...AS A RAPPER. This is th...

Of course an episode about Jason would run long into the night... In this special episode Joe and I get drunk and wax poetic for almost another hour. ⚠️ There was a lot of wine...

This week I tell two of the more sentimental stories from Not Literary, about my good friend Jason who passed away in 2020. I then have a lengthy after party with my friend Joe where I drink way too much wine and we talk about everything from pooping to Jeffrey Epstein. I actually had to cut the after party in half, so there is a bonus episode this week if you want to hear Joe and I get really int...

In today's story, we meet the World's Fattest Man. This story takes place in Chicago, where George Chapman will do anything to get his mitts on another Big Mac. Afterwards, my special guest Matt tells a few harrowing tales about an awkward elevator encounter and a shaved cat. Oh, and everyone hates John Mayer.

A quickie story about buying my bike from tweakers, my first week living in Long Beach. This one is solo and isn't in the book. I'll be back next weekend with the story of The Fattest Man Alive and a surprise guest!

This is a quickie story from my Baltimore years. My friend Sarah joins me (we're in Mexico this week!) to discuss our time living in Baltimore--specifically the time she kidnapped a live crab. Also we talk about Gwen Stefani's cultural appropriation, the death of DMX and the gender bending happenings at the late, great Grand Central Station.

A trip to Nogales, Mexico gone wrong...or right, depending on your opinion. Spoiler alert! Everybody ends up butt naked...
