Hello! I hope you're doing well. It's been a little while since we spoke and I"m happy to spend an hour and some change with you. This week is mainly just a check in and a catch up. I"ve been dealing with some stress with my future living situation and my body has been slowly turning against mefrom the inside out. I'll tell you all about it and pepper in some voicemails from an AFC legend and a very difficult to answer WYR. Let's get to it. Happy Mothers Day to all the Mothers! Thanks for listening!

This is the First Ever episode without Oats Mcgoats. This is a sad milestone, but there is no time to be depressed. We have healing and podcasting to do...not necessarily in that order. This week, I detail my final hours with my roomate and audio engineer, the Pittsburgh Pirates interrupt my grieving process, and then we dive into the anonymous box for a wide array of topics and rants. I discuss overrated and underrated movies, my hatred of all things Harry Potter and answer the age old question of pickles or brains. All this and much much more. A huge thank you from the bottom of my heart toe everyone who reached out or even just sent me nice thoughts this past week. I couldn't have done any of this without you guys. Love you all!

Hello again, It's like two shows in one this week. Up first, we dive into the mailbag for lots of movie talk, your advice for my colonoscopy conundrum and I find a new appreciation for Sting...sort of. Then the second half of the show is really just for me but you're welcome to listen in. I have a very candid and honest discussion with myself about a situation I have to deal with this week. I talk through my emotions and thoughts as I prepare to say goodbye to a dear friend. Opening song - Float by Jay Som ft. Jim Adkins Closing Cover Song - Rainbow Connection by Weezer ft.

The title of this one says it all. Some updates on everything, some movie recommendations, and some topics from the anonymous box...sort of. And a handful of voicemails that slipped through the cracks. Thanks for your patience and support and most of all THANKS FOR LISTENING!

New year, same old AFC This week's show is bookended by two stories about how my year ended and began in not so great fashion. In between, I discuss a whole bunch of movies and TV shows that I've watched, some topics from the anonymous box including an update from our last episode and I reminisce about a time I got drunk off beer and ruined a role playing game. All this and much much more Happy new year and thanks for listening! Opening song -Winter by Nick Phoenix Closing Cover Song - Don't Fear The Reaper by Amazonica Thanks for listening!

Its the last episode of the year (probaly) and we are doing some WYR, talking about Halloween decorations staying up too long and a listener wants to know if their therapist crossed a line. I certainly have some thoughts on this matter but I want to hear what AFC Nation thinks so feel free to weigh in with your opinions in all the usual places. All this and much much more.

Hello again! Back in the saddle this week with a lot to catch up on. This week, I discuss the many ways my body is letting me down in my old age, the many ways technology has let me down recently and a story about the brakes on my car letting me down as me well. Plus a book I'm reading gives me terrible nightmares, I remember a time that I completely misunderstood the meaning of a popular phrase and we end with some WYR's and other assorted nonsense from the anonymous box. Thanks for sticking with the show and it's erratic schedule. I'm not going anywhere and I hope you won't either. Thanks for listening! Thanks for listening! WE NOW HAVE AN INSTAGRAM FOR THE SHOW.

This week, I see a movie that I can't stop thinking about, I visit the zoo and contemplate the meaning of happiness. Then we dive into the mailbag where your submissions trigger a long repressed memory of the time that I randomly went to a strip club all alone and what a strange and sad experience it was.
