Get ready for a raw, riveting interview with my friend Jimmy. We cover many topics such as abuse, bullying, rage, prison, and being a secret genius. Jimmy was brutally honest and opened up about some pretty heavy stuff, so I want to commend Jimmy for his vulnerability. Saying you want to commend someone is kind of a weird phrase, because you're saying you want to commend them, but you’re not...

Two bros at a night club who don't give a f. The two gentlemen in this sketch are not Italian. I REPEAT, they are not Italian.

Welcome to week 2 everyone. This weeks episode is an original comedy piece, which needs some explaining. In the old episode format, I acted as if we were physically meeting in the clubhouse. I’d do a deep dive, interview , sketch, and between those I’d do “ad reads”, interact with people, etc. Today’s comedy piece is a “Lost Episode” if you will, I was in the middle of recording a new episode when...

However, since that unforgettable day, listeners across the globe have had a singular question burning in the minds.  How do I accept my depression?

Once you hit play, your life will never be the same.  Critics have hailed the sketch as “offensive, tasteless, off-putting.”  A particularly renowned critic, Nathaniel Bellridge, proclaimed  “The writing, voice acting, and overall production reeks of a pathetic amateur. If I came across the anonymous Brian in public and recognized his voice, I’d assault him without hesitation.” This sketch is brou...
