Episodes

Episode 27: Megan Thee Broadway Star 18.04.2026

This week I recap my much needed night out from the second row, plenty of leg room, and Megan Thee Stallion making her Broadway debut and stealing the show. From there, it’s the reality check: $30 hot dogs and water, $50 drinks, and then I vent a little (okay, a lot) about my latest pet peeves. We tap into the WNBA Draft and wrap with some “wait, this is actually smart” news: Chicago’s library hoo...

Episode 26: Rockets & Red Flags 13.04.2026

I talk about the Artemis landing and pretend I fully understand space, then get real about a situation where I was definitely being manipulated, some character development, I guess. I also dive in about how uncomforable buying certain items can be, and catch on some life updates. Such as, Broadway here I come, liver cleanse is rejected, and Crypto ups and downs.

Episode 25: I Bought What From Instagram?! 05.04.2026

This week I open up about the unexpected guilt of moving on and how it might be holding me back from actually putting myself out there. I also get into what “self-care” really means, my first confusing dive into crypto, and questioning some questionable Instagram purchases. Then end with a quick look at NASA’s Artemis II mission and what it means for the future of space travel.

Episode 24: The Week That Felt Like Everything 23.03.2026

This episode reflects on a 25th high school reunion invite and how social media has reshaped connection, blending nostalgia with a heavy, emotional week marked by missed plans, medication struggles, and everyday frustrations. Through it all, there’s an honest look at loneliness, guilt, and finding unexpected support—even in unlikely places—balanced by hopeful stories, including a breakthrough turn...

Episode 23: Accidentally Important at Work Now 15.03.2026

In this episode, I talk about surviving workplace layoffs and somehow becoming the new payroll guy because I’m the only one who knows how to use a computer. Plus, how I need to start looking for Broadway tickets because Megan Thee Stallion is making her debut, latest cooking updates, break down this year’s Academy Awards and why they’re actually called the Oscars.

Episode 22: Do Not Pass Go, Do Start a War? 02.03.2026

It’s my birthday—and apparently Mercury is in retrograde, which may or may not explain the chaos. I’m unpacking what that actually means, spiraling (a little) about the possibility of war with Iran, and sharing wild strategy tips from a Monopoly world champion. Plus, how do you even sign up for that? Astrology, anxiety, and Boardwalk in one birthday episode.

Episode 21: Nunca Fácil 23.02.2026

This week, I unpack getting diagnosed with depression — and the fun plot twist where my doctor keeps disappearing like it’s a medical soap opera. I also discuss my ongoing battle with learning Spanish (my brain said “no hablo functioning”) and go down a hopeful little rabbit hole about a possible cure for colds and coughs. It’s honest, a bit chaotic, and proof that healing — and rolling your R’s —...

Episode 20: Halftime Thoughts & Heartfelt Remembers 17.02.2026

This week I’m breaking down the Super Bowl esperience from the food, to the commercials, the halftime show (yes, I have thoughts), and the lost bets that had me yelling at the TV. I also talk about how I survived Valentine’s Day with my dignity mostly intact, and we take a minute to show love to Brad Arnold of 3 Doors Down and James Van Der Beek from Dawson's Creek. It’s laughs, frustration, a...

Episode 19: Bad Bunny, Bad Cooking, Bad News 08.02.2026

In this episode, I unpack the controversy swirling around Bad Bunny, jump into my latest attempt at discovering my cooking talents, and discuss the shocking story involving Savannah Guthrie’s mom that’s been making headlines. Pop culture, personal chaos, and serious news — all in one conversation.

Hating Snow and Remembering Catherine O’Hara 04.02.2026

I absolutely hate the snow, endured yet another round of car chaos, marveled at a guy who somehow hit a hole-in-one with one arm, and took a moment to honor the incomparable Catherine O’Hara. Snow sucks, cars fail, miracles happen and Moira Rose, Let’s talk.

Episode 17: Are you there God? It's me, Puddy. 25.01.2026

In this episode, we have our first returning guest host. Together we share our personal thoughts on religion, questioning how true it feels to us and why some belief systems have faded over time. From there, the conversation naturally shifts to the political and civil unrest in the country, as we reflect on how belief, power, and uncertainty intersect in the world around us.

Episode 16: Good Stuff Still Happens 19.01.2026

This episode is all about good news and good vibes. We’re shining a light on stories that inspire hope, from the Walk for Peace to animals making their way off endangered lists, and the people of Gander showing just how powerful kindness can be. It’s a feel-good conversation about what’s possible when individuals—and entire communities—step up and lead with heart.

Episode 15: Planned Spontaneity 11.01.2026

In this episode, there’s absolutely no plan—and that’s the plan. My first guest host of the year actualy joins me in studio and we just let the conversation go wherever it wants, bouncing from sports debates and questionable hot takes to the latest news stories that caught the nation's attention this week. Along the way, we dive into new passion projects, big ideas, small wins, and the nervous...

Epiosde 14: Cheers, Championships & Chaos 04.01.2026

In this episode, I recap my New Year’s Eve shenanigans, celebrate winning my fantasy football league (yes, I’m still bragging), and then shift gears to talk about the chaos unfolding in Venezuela. This episode is part recap, part victory lap, and part real-world check-in. Welcome to the new year!

Episode 13: Goodbye 2025! 28.12.2025

2025 was a lot! I’m looking back on the moments that shaped me, the lessons that helped me level up, and all the personal wins and loses. Along the way, I touch on some of the big stories that defined 2025 and how they reminded us of resilience, change, and possibility. Also, look back on those we have lost this year and the legacies they leave behind. A honest recap of where I’ve been, what I’ve...

Episode 12: RIP Rob Reiner and the Kennedy Center 22.12.2025

After a quick recap of my week, I then get into the unfortunate and tragic death of Ron Reiner, Trump’s grossly insensitve reaction, and Trump’s attempt to rebrand the Kennedy Center as another flex of power over American culture. Although he is terrible, I hope you have a Merry Christmas!

Episode 11: Lost in NY 14.12.2025

In this episode, we get part two of my conversation with Green Man. Together we break down the life lessons wrestling taught us, reminisce about our favorite John Cena moments, and I tell the story of traveling into the city just to get absolutely jobbed by a cancelled event. Hustle, loyalty, respect… and disappointment.

Episode 10: Friends, Fathers, and the Marks They Leave 11.12.2025

In this episode, Green Man joins the show and together we talk about the moments when friends transform into the family we rely on most. We share stories about our fathers. Their strengths, their flaws, and the lasting impact they’ve had on our lives. We close with a deep conversation on forgiveness, and how choosing to forgive can free us, strengthen our relationships, and reshape our personal jo...

Episode 9: Gravy, Graveyards & Good Boys 30.11.2025

In this episode, I recap my Thanksgiving and how I am still full. Then I cover the wild story of a woman found alive in a coffin, proving naps can go very wrong. I wrap it up with animal therapy, because nothing fixes emotional chaos like cuddling a turkey apparently. Sign me up!

Episode 8: Trump & Mamdani Break the Internet! 24.11.2025

This week’s episode kicks off with a recap of my week. It started out at a fancy birthday dinner and ended and a fancy dinner for work. In between the delcicous food, I dive into the headline that had everyone online talking: the absolutely surreal Trump–Mamdani meeting at the White House. What happened, why it might have broken reality, and my very unqualified hot takes on the whole spectacal! I&...

Hope you all had a fun Halloween with lots of candy. We have a special episode this week, as we have our first guest host join the show, and he brought a lot of opinions.

Episode 4: Break the walls down! 26.10.2025

Another week is in the books, and what a rollercoaster it was. From taking part of a Confirmation, to cancelling cable and to getting stood up by my therapist. There was a big gambling scandal that rocked the NBA and the President destroyed an entire wing of the White House, because he wanted to. We now have a hotline so feel free to leave a message or text your thoughts on these topics.  Hotline:...
