Outta Toon Podcast

This is the last show before Christmas. Is it our Christmas episode?? Nah, I don't think there is a proper Christmas episode this year. Nonetheless, I discuss Santa Claus and becoming an unbeliever. Also, you probably don't know everything you really need to know about the North Pole. So, in honor of the big fat man, here are some facts for you. Geez, I really shouldn't talk about myself that way,...

Happy Christmas and Hanukkah week, everyone! Today I demonstrate the difference in "knowing something" and "learning something." I learned a lesson in a Christmas carol that I'm not really fond of but it taught me something pretty valuable. Hope you're feeling well this season. Hope you're doing well. As always reach out and say "Hi" if you feel the need! Enjoy!

In this episode I bring in a special guest to discuss death. We try not to be too morbid about the whole thing, but Maria just went through the death of her mom and has some valuable experience and advice to share. Plus, she's my wife and it was fun having her in the studio. Hopefully, no one else has to die before she comes back.

Today I had a small panic attack about boxes of old stuff. We all have to confront our old stuff at some point and figure out if we're going to trash it or keep it stored somewhere. I think it's time for me to confront some bad habits I've developed. Can it be that real people are more valuable than protecting my own ego? Holy crap, how can that be true? I send out my first album reviews in this e...

Full disclosure: I recorded this entire episode in 20 year old pants. I think back, fondly, on my dad's Little Debbie cravings and wonder if there is something in the DNA. My own cravings have recently been pulling me toward sandwiches. I whip out some 3 and 3 for your morning entertainment. Please subscribe to the podcast if you haven't already.

Do you ever discover something about yourself and you just dont know why it's there? But you know it is there and maybe you should hold it up to the light and examine it. There are so many of those things about me like that I constantly discover. Also, maybe take some time to figure out what is happening with holiday traditions we mindlessly observe. Never hurts to know.

Yesterday was my anniversary. I innocently went and bought a card for my wife and then... aw man, now I feel like a creep. What's wrong with me? I don't deserve my wife. I need some counseling I'm pretty sure. Why couldn't I just get a card and get out?

Thanksgiving is history and I ate way too much. Instead of thinking about my gluttony, best move my focus forward to Christmas where I can participate in greed. I've pulled out my box of Christmas movies and I'm ready to start the marathon. Do you have favorite holiday movies you have to watch every year? I present my own lists here, not just my favorites but also the ones I despise. I wonder whic...

Dann Gunn co-created the theme music to Apocaleptic. He's been a musician most of his life in bands such as "The Square," "Velocipede" and as a solo artist. You can listen to most of his music on his BandCamp site or at danngunn.com . We both were dedicated young Christians in our early life and had similar artistic influences and listened to many of the same Christian bands. In the interview we d...

As we enter the holiday season, I have started reflecting on how I include my pets in the festivities. Food, gifts, tiny hats, is it really healthy? What do the experts say? Well buckle up and get a dose of reality and some health scolding with me from those who think they know everything. Not sure why they can't just mind their own business.

In America, we're heading into Thanksgiving week, a holiday full of cranberry sauce and Native American genocide. Hey, it's our history, why ignore it? While searching for some warm, cozy Thanksgiving stories, I stumbled across the story of The Dakota War of 1862. I found it very interesting and maybe you will too. Have a slice of history with your pumpkin pie. Wait, this is America, better make t...

There are a lot of glitches that happen in a new podcast. Like when the dumbass podcast host can't pronounce the name of the show. I don't know what happened to my brain when I was calling the show "Apocaleptica" at the beginning of the episode. Hopefully that won't happen again. On this episode I discuss rich young YouTubers, marijuana, Powerball winning and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. A lot...

Welcome to the premiere episode of Apocaleptic. Let me explain what this podcast is about and why I'm doing it. Also, hear all of the craziness that was my summer! Good to see you here and I'm glad to be back.
