Uncommon Sense with Common Terry

Send us Fan Mail A shelf full of missing bread sounds small until you realize how fast fear spreads, and how quickly people start “prepping” without even being sure what they’re prepping for. We kick off with that exact energy, then jump to the kind of headline that feels like a glitch in reality: a 97-year-old reportedly dying at his own birthday party while dancing to “Stayin’ Alive.” Dark, iron...

Send us Fan Mail I'm a poet, wouldn't ya know it?

Send us Fan Mail A lot of people laugh off preparedness until the day the shelves are empty and the group chat turns into panic. We start with that uneasy vibe: countries telling people to stock up for a few days, the U.S. feeling split down the middle about prepping, and why it all feels a little too familiar if you lived through the COVID whiplash. I’m not selling fear. I’m talking about real-wo...

Send us Fan Mail If the power went out tonight and stayed out, how long would your house be okay before it turned into stress, conflict, and desperation? I’m not asking to be dramatic. I’m asking because the online noise is getting louder: talk of military bases preparing for long off-grid stretches, rumors of cyberattacks targeting electrical grids, and public warnings that sound like “store a fe...

Send us Fan Mail I look at why daily life feels like nonstop conflict and ask who you even complain to when nobody seems to care. I connect apathy to faith, overstimulation, broken customer service, and the way tech and social media train us to treat real people like disposable noise.  • everyday conflict in public spaces and why it feels constant  • walking away from faith and losing accountabili...

Send us Fan Mail Something feels off, and we can’t sleep through it. We’re up late, chain smoking thoughts, trying to make sense of a rumor heavy story about a suspected plague exposure tied to a Russian lab, a sudden illness, and the swirl of official denials, quarantines, and half answers that instantly light up the internet. We walk through the timeline beat by beat, not to pretend we have secr...

Send us Fan Mail Something feels weird about football right now, and we’re not pretending we don’t notice. I’m Commentary, and I’m back after a stretch that had me feeling like I was held hostage in a hotel outside Chicago, trying to do my HVAC job, dodge mystery bites, and survive a trip that tested my patience from the elevator smell to the broken “gym.” If you’ve ever white-knuckled a work trip...

Send us Fan Mail An NFL headline turns into a reality check fast: a 49ers owner ends up in an Ohio sting, and the details are as surreal as they are revealing. We talk through what’s actually reported, why people with money and power still make self-destructive choices, and how “quick resolutions” in the legal system can feel like a different set of rules for different people. If you follow sports...

Send us Fan Mail Nothing hits like the moment you realize you’re scanning your pantry like it’s a hazard zone. We start with the growing sense that food recalls and “contaminated everything” headlines have turned eating into low-grade paranoia, then widen the lens to a bigger question: when so much looks staged, filtered, or spun, how do you keep your head clear and your life honest? From there, w...

Send us Fan Mail Life, loss, and the pursuit of an open mic comedy event that doesn't suck. They aren't all bad, are they? Pull up in a greasy chair, turn down the lights, get your favorite well whiskey, and let's discuss the possibility that open mics may actually be hurting your gains!

Death is not just a moment. It is a chain of choices the living have to make while their hearts are still catching up. We go straight at the subject most people avoid, starting with the raw finality of loss and the question that sits behind it all: if you believe we have a spirit, where does it go when the body is done? I connect the dots between faith, fear, and the strange way grief can make lif...
