Big Bang
Well, it happened.
I suspected it might and was dreading if it did but, yeah. It did.
I recorded what I think might have been my best show so far and when I went to do the editing, the file showed as corrupt. Not usable. Garbage.
I really don’t think I could ever duplicate the vibe and the content of the show. I got on a roll. It was good. I was having fun and I was thinking it was going to be a show that touched a lot of people.
I suppose it was intended only for me. Oh well. I’m going to try not to dwell on it. But I’m also not going to try again today so that means Thursday show is out. Not gonna happen. I apologize. I hope it doesn’t happen again. I mentioned how I don’t really trust this SD Card storage system in this new recorder I’m using. I guess I know to really double-check everything from now on.
Crap.
I’ll see you on Monday.
19: Worship Me!
Hello friends! Welcome to episode 19 of Apocaleptic! We’re almost out of our teens and soon will be of legal drinking age and on the prowl! This week I’m considering the food dishes that it’s impossible to screw up. Also, I iaccidentally nvent a pretty great holiday beverage even though it’s long after the holidays. Why do we need holy men? Holy people? Don’t they just exist to make us feel bad about ourselves? Time for them to go away! It was fun making this show for you this week. Hope you enjoy it.
18: How to Be Creative
I have returned from my mountain vacation and survived the incredible disappointment of my shattered plans! Eh, no problem. On a positive note, I watched, by far, the worst film ever made. Don’t believe me? You can check it out for yourself. Are you a creative person? Would you like to be but don’t know how? I share my secret technique for tapping into and making use of creativity. And it doesn’t cost a thing! Happy 2023 everyone! Make a resolution to share the podcast with your friends (and enemies).
17: Getting Lucky
Happy 2023 everyone! I decided to release Monday’s show a couple days early. After all, there is valuable information here that can keep you lucky all year! Stay safe and well out there!
16: My Date With 2022
Goodbye 2022, ya bastard. For me, the year was full of loss but, strangely, I came out totally fine. I’m doing good how about you? I said goodbye to some friends, family members and company activities. I ate some good food and watched some great documentaries. I grew spiritually. I made some jokes about poop. Never let them typecast you! I found a couple new favorites this year like the music of Adeem The Artist and the spiritual works of Clare Dimond. Flogging Molly‘s new album restored my faith in legacy bands. Thanks to everyone who came on the Apocaleptic journey with me this year. Here’s to an even better 2023!
15: I’d Like to Thank the Little People
The holidays are mostly done! Have you enjoyed them? I often wonder what it’s like for people who have no religious connection to any of the holidays being forced to encounter them. Also, why is it all of the big movie bosses seem to have little people as their labor force? Santa, Willy Wonka, Keebler Cookies? Where is the logic? I’m not making resolutions this year but I do have a couple of goals. One in particular which I think is very restricting. Maybe you’ll make it a goal too. Thanks for listening everyone!
14: Lubricating the Pole
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, should I? Merry Holidays everyone!
13: In Your Face, Kringle!
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!

12: Because I Could Not Stop For Death with Guest Maria Fernandez
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.

11: Trashing Old Stuff
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 episode. Christmas albums by Amanda Shires and Billy Idol come under the examination spotlight. Hope your holidays are going well, my friends. Keep in touch!
