Thoughts and Rants in Jogging Pants

Comedy EN ↓ 43 episodes

Cathartic brain emptying for me. Potentially humorous and thought provoking for you. At least that's the optomistic version of how this could all go. I once wrote a blog of the same name, and am trading the pen for the mic. Gen X wisdom dispensed via fun stories, odd opinions, and absurd rants. I use bad language sometimes. Dropping new episodes on the 1st and 15th (I hope.... oh god, I've said it now, I better do it). Canadian made :)
