Episode 29: My Ceiling Is Haunted by Stuart Little

The mouse in my ceiling is still active and has now officially entered the stream as a recurring guest star. On the bright side, I finally got back into voice acting again. On the less bright side: cruise ship hantavirus outbreak. This feels like three separate save files got corrupted together.

Episode 28: This Episode Is Basically Breaking News

This episode runs through a wild mix of headlines and hot takes—from a shocking incident at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner to Megan Thee Stallion and Klay Thompson breakup drama. There’s a quick WrestleMania recap, some real-life “mouse in the house” stress, and a funny realization about having a very specific type. We also touch on Game of Thrones’ 15th anniversary confusion and wrap up with thoughts on the latest Ticketmaster ruling.

Episode 27: Megan Thee Broadway Star

This week I recap my much needed night out from the second row, plenty of leg room, and Megan Thee Stallion making her Broadway debut and stealing the show. From there, it’s the reality check: $30 hot dogs and water, $50 drinks, and then I vent a little (okay, a lot) about my latest pet peeves. We tap into the WNBA Draft and wrap with some “wait, this is actually smart” news: Chicago’s library hookup for students and a wild new way to turn trash into clean energy.

Great night, questionable prices, and a few thoughts you didn’t ask for.

Episode 26: Rockets & Red Flags

I talk about the Artemis landing and pretend I fully understand space, then get real about a situation where I was definitely being manipulated, some character development, I guess. I also dive in about how uncomforable buying certain items can be, and catch on some life updates. Such as, Broadway here I come, liver cleanse is rejected, and Crypto ups and downs.

Episode 25: I Bought What From Instagram?!

This week I open up about the unexpected guilt of moving on and how it might be holding me back from actually putting myself out there. I also get into what “self-care” really means, my first confusing dive into crypto, and questioning some questionable Instagram purchases. Then end with a quick look at NASA’s Artemis II mission and what it means for the future of space travel.

Episode 24: The Week That Felt Like Everything

This episode reflects on a 25th high school reunion invite and how social media has reshaped connection, blending nostalgia with a heavy, emotional week marked by missed plans, medication struggles, and everyday frustrations. Through it all, there’s an honest look at loneliness, guilt, and finding unexpected support—even in unlikely places—balanced by hopeful stories, including a breakthrough turning plastic waste into Parkinson’s treatment and how Tommy Tutone’s iconic song helped inspire a cancer support helpline, reminding us that meaning can show up where we least expect it.

Episode 23: Accidentally Important at Work Now

In this episode, I talk about surviving workplace layoffs and somehow becoming the new payroll guy because I’m the only one who knows how to use a computer. Plus, how I need to start looking for Broadway tickets because Megan Thee Stallion is making her debut, latest cooking updates, break down this year’s Academy Awards and why they’re actually called the Oscars.

Episode 22: Do Not Pass Go, Do Start a War?

It’s my birthday—and apparently Mercury is in retrograde, which may or may not explain the chaos. I’m unpacking what that actually means, spiraling (a little) about the possibility of war with Iran, and sharing wild strategy tips from a Monopoly world champion. Plus, how do you even sign up for that? Astrology, anxiety, and Boardwalk in one birthday episode.

Episode 21: Nunca Fácil

This week, I unpack getting diagnosed with depression — and the fun plot twist where my doctor keeps disappearing like it’s a medical soap opera. I also discuss my ongoing battle with learning Spanish (my brain said “no hablo functioning”) and go down a hopeful little rabbit hole about a possible cure for colds and coughs. It’s honest, a bit chaotic, and proof that healing — and rolling your R’s — is a journey.

Episode 20: Halftime Thoughts & Heartfelt Remembers

This week I’m breaking down the Super Bowl esperience from the food, to the commercials, the halftime show (yes, I have thoughts), and the lost bets that had me yelling at the TV. I also talk about how I survived Valentine’s Day with my dignity mostly intact, and we take a minute to show love to Brad Arnold of 3 Doors Down and James Van Der Beek from Dawson's Creek. It’s laughs, frustration, and a little heart all in one episode.

Episode 19: Bad Bunny, Bad Cooking, Bad News

In this episode, I unpack the controversy swirling around Bad Bunny, jump into my latest attempt at discovering my cooking talents, and discuss the shocking story involving Savannah Guthrie’s mom that’s been making headlines. Pop culture, personal chaos, and serious news — all in one conversation.

Episode 18: Hating Snow and Remembering Catherine O’Hara

I absolutely hate the snow, endured yet another round of car chaos, marveled at a guy who somehow hit a hole-in-one with one arm, and took a moment to honor the incomparable Catherine O’Hara. Snow sucks, cars fail, miracles happen and Moira Rose, Let’s talk.

Episode 17: Are you there God? It's me, Puddy

In this episode, we have our first returning guest host. Together we share our personal thoughts on religion, questioning how true it feels to us and why some belief systems have faded over time. From there, the conversation naturally shifts to the political and civil unrest in the country, as we reflect on how belief, power, and uncertainty intersect in the world around us.

Episode 16: Good Stuff Still Happens

This episode is all about good news and good vibes. We’re shining a light on stories that inspire hope, from the Walk for Peace to animals making their way off endangered lists, and the people of Gander showing just how powerful kindness can be. It’s a feel-good conversation about what’s possible when individuals—and entire communities—step up and lead with heart.

Episode15: Planned Spontaneity

In this episode, there’s absolutely no plan—and that’s the plan. My first guest host of the year actualy joins me in studio and we just let the conversation go wherever it wants, bouncing from sports debates and questionable hot takes to the latest news stories that caught the nation's attention this week. Along the way, we dive into new passion projects, big ideas, small wins, and the nervousness that comes with trying something new. It’s part catch-up, part therapy session, and part what the hell is going on, all wrapped up in an unfiltered, yet fun conversation.
