Outta Toon Podcast

We're getting ready for a hurricane to move through the south so I hope everyone stays safe and secure. Maybe grab a pack of ice cream sandwiches or cones to enjoy while you ride it out. Do you still get visits from the ice cream truck? Haven't seen one in awhile. I think they are avoiding me. I met my soul mate last night and she had a really weird name. That's not a good sign is it? What are you...

This week we're heading for 100° weather in Atlanta. Someone please send us ice. If you have nothing to do, why not plan on attending Fyre Festival 2? Yes, it's happening. Or maybe you'll want to look for the Loch Ness Monster this weekend. Just bring along an expert in the topic of monsters. Most likely they do exist. What should we do for Halloween, folks? Help me out. Let's do something fun tha...

Welcome to a rare video show, my friends. You don't have to watch the video version but it's there if you want it. I'm updating my term for the short generation between Boomers and Gen X, of which I am a part. Pay attention and start using the new label. I've been sleeping in the rain the past few days. Sort of. It's relaxing so join me, won't you? Have you ever lived in a stinky city? I think I'v...

Yesterday, storms moved through the south and made it very difficult to record a podcast. So here we are today. Been awhile since I shared a beer with you so I hope you don't mind if I crack one open today. I got to watch the Jason Isbell documentary Running With Our Eyes Closed last night. I really enjoyed it and it made me think about how challenging relationships can be. I've had some pretty st...

Happy Episode 60 everyone! Hope you have a good holiday. Me? I'm still trying to get my life and home organized. It sure is taking awhile. How are you with trust? Do you trust people easily? I feel like I can learn a lot about trust from my cat. Celebrities are dropping like, well, celebrity flies. We've lost several the past couple weeks. The world is not as safe and secure as we have told oursel...

So much in the news this week! Controversy about small towns and country songs, insane Presidential news, and social media craziness. How can we be blamed for wanting to watch it all? Just remember, distractions are simply other people stealing your life. Do you really want to give them that much control? Personally, I'd rather not. Stay alert. Don't give your life to idiots. Unless you want to, o...

This week I'm doing battle with my cat, discovering new music and getting into a documentary about cheating. Are you a cheater in relationships? Have you cheated? I'll let you know a story about the closest I've come to cheating. Was it cheating? I don't think so. Let me know if I'm wrong. Hope to hear from you. Enjoy your weekend, friends!

Welcome to another Thursday show! This week I interview artist Randy Dickerson. Randy is a southern artist with an interesting background and some fascinating views about art and life in general. It was a fun conversation and I hope you enjoy it. Look up Randy online and check out his great art. Thanks for all your support friends! Give us a share on your social media sites. Talk us up. Let people...

Hi friends! How's your summer so far? How long will you wait for a table at a restaurant? That's kind of a personal research question. I think I waited too long this weekend. Thinking about all of the things we do to make ourselves happy but what are your essentials? What are the things you can always rely on to make you the happiest? I have recently felt some resistance when asked by friends who...

Okay, I think we're ready to get back on schedule here! I told you the last week would be a rough one and it was. I wasn't able to get a show up and the first of this week was tight as well. Good news is, I should be back on the original schedule next week! So here's a little shorter show for you about fireworks, anxious dogs, yard sales and stuff. So much stuff. Want to buy some stuff? See you ne...

Thanks to listener Gary, we have a new scoop on the lack of grape ice cream (See what I did there?). Unfortunately, I don't buy it so I still want some real answers. Also, I go on a little spontaneous rant about a video I saw about Christian philosophy. Is this something really needed? I guess some people need it. I just wish they would put all of their energies into getting us some grape ice crea...

It's a great cool breezy day in the ATL. Rare but I'll take it. As I get older, I'm concerned more and more about ageism. More specifically, what can everyone be doing out there to make my old man life much easier? It's something we all should be focusing more on. I have a great idea for a new podcast which I have decided to completely turn over to you. Seriously. Go do it. Make millions. Just giv...

I had some great Korean food last night. Hope you did too. By the way, what makes food "Asian" if it's cooked in America? By a Latinx? All I know, it was really good stuff. So, Pat Robertson's dead. If you don't know who that is, he was a TV preacher who was apparently so scared of gay people, he thought they caused hurricanes and earthquakes and other world calamities. Not sure if they were respo...

Greetings Apocaleptic fans! How are you so far this week? I've got so much happening in June: closing down my gallery, starting new ventures, being called for jury duty and a non-stop coughing dog. It's all the things I asked for last Christmas. I didn't do a second show last week because... well, let me explain. I've been thinking about stuff. It's all a bit spooky and metaphysical and I didn't w...

Happy Memorial Week, friends! We're halfway to the holiday season so hang on! I'm concerned about our pets. The way we treat them, the things we feed them, the hats we force them to wear. If you're like me, you love your little (and huge) ones and want to give them the best to keep them happy and healthy. If you could make their lives better, wouldn't you? That's what I thought. Me too. Let's talk...

I've gotten hooked on a new ID Show about sexual predators. I didn't want to get into it but it turns out to be pretty interesting with some very good investigation. Plus it's nice seeing those creeps put away for awhile. So, how do you limit yourself? Are you aware that you do it? I think we all limit ourselves to a certain extent but do you do it more consciously or unconsciously? Gonna try to s...

Today I'm suffering from little sleep and an overdose of big fat noodles. Hey, not a bad place to be in. I'm restructuring much of my public social media sites for my business and personal use, including the ones for the podcast. Get ready! And speaking of getting ready, are you ready for the A.I. content wave we're about to be slammed with? It's gonna be a big one. Go have a big fat noodle and I'...

Just got back from a physical. Getting probed and prodded can make a man feel tired, y'know? When you experience depression have you noticed if the cause seems to be a particular even or is it more of just being overcome by chemical imbalance? I'm curious. Let me know. I was thinking about death this week and had an interesting idea about it. Is it possible we don't die when we die? Let me explain...

Welcome friends! Grab a cup of coffee and take a seat. How do you like your coffee? What coffee do you enjoy? Lots to choose from. Not as bad as ice cream though. They're inventing flavors I'm not sure anyone needs. I'm not so sure I'm a good helper, my friends. I don't like to think this is true but I do think I help in my own way. But maybe it isn't that helpful. Something to work on. Enjoy the...

Welcome to a Thursday show, my friends! So, help me out here. Be honest. Is two shows a week too much? Should I only do one show a week? What do you prefer? Can you keep up with the releases? Do you care? Contact me and let me know. On this show I examine attorney nicknames and characters. Also, I have discovered three different types of people when it comes to living and let living. Will probably...

This week we say goodbye to Gordon Lightfoot and I have an eBay Auction buyer bail on me. Coincidence? No. They aren't similar or connected at all. Old people are taking over the internet and social media with their complaints about how nothing is like it used to be. Yeah? Well neither are you, grandpa. Pull your beanie up from your eyes, refill your latte and go do something else. It isn't about...

It's my birthday episode! Ready to have a good time? Hang on! I reminisce a bit about my first drinking and sex experiences. Oh, why not? I had a strange dream last night that either means I'm gay or I need to start sleeping in a motel. Speaking of sexual experiences what about the strange sex incidents in the Bible? Let's discuss. Thanks for hanging out with me folks. This is a strange one but it...

It's still National Poetry Month and I read a couple of submissions from a listener. Ever been waist deep down a hippo's throat? One guy recently found himself in that situation. So as a public service, I give you tips on what to do if you encounter several different species of wild animals. Maybe one day it will save your life. You're welcome. Contact me. See ya next time...

Greetings everyone! Still here. Still surviving. How about you? This week I notice some of my tastes have changed. I must get to the bottom of it. It's National Poetry Month so I read one of my own poems called "Knoxville, Summer 1985." Feel free to submit one of yours and I'll be happy to read it on the podcast. I've been recently trying to figure out what parts of "me" are real and what parts ar...

It was the mid 80s and everyone seemed to be joining cults. I might as well jump in too, right?? Here's the story of how I almost joined a religious cult and how I escaped in the dark of night. After dinner. Before the head lice. Not sure anyone really cared. Also, Living Color is the band I had a brain-coma on. You're welcome. Have a good week, friends!
