A Fireside Chat

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.

Thanks for listening!

A bit of an accidental theme this week.

Disclaimer: I am very overworked and sleep deprived so I lose my train of thought and take many detours during this story. It all comes back together at the end, but truthfully, my brain is fried and I'm exhausted. Sorry for the many pauses and forgetting my place. 

This week, I break format a little bit to tell you one story with many side rants and tangents. 

This was one of the most awkward experiences of my life. I still cringe when I think about it. I hope you enjoy hearing about it.

Happy Holidays you filthy animals!

It's Christmas Eve and I'm day drinking and podcasting just the way Santa intended.

This may be the last episode of the year. It may not be. Who could ever know?

This week, I give my review of Monticello Lights, I run myself over with my own car, and another man shaves my balls.

Could you possibly get any more holiday season than this episode?

Absolutely!

Also some listeners weigh in on the new Superman trailer, the correct manners for the bathroom...

Stop the presses!

An AFC Christmas episode? Have I finally embraced my inner Christmas spirit? Has my move to a new place finally killed the Scrooge inside of me?

OF COURSE NOT.

Don't be ridiculous.

This week I discuss some Christmas themed topics like my hypocrisy towards the season, the perfect gift for a loved one and a Christmas song with misheard lyrics.

Also I cut ties with Gladys, a listener shares their very unique "gift", and I tell you about someone I'm currently obsessed with but you may...

WE ARE BACK!!!

Think of this episode as a season finale or season premier depending on your viewpoint.

This week, I make a decision about my personal life, I immediately regret, and my landlord makes a decision that I also immediately regret.

Along the way, help and support comes from a familiar AFC character.

After I work through both these less than stellar situations, I turn the podcast over to a listener who sends in a voice memo dissecting a hit song from the 90's like only he can. 

I promise you will never think of the word "ironic" the same way again.

It's a bit of a dark t...

I couldn't sleep this morning so, before I went to work, I decided to sort through all the thoughts on my mind and discuss a few Anonymous Box topics as well.

I'm exhausted and am now going to sleep for as long as Oats will allow me before she demands food again. 

Thank you to everyone for the support of  myself and the show. 

I love you all.

The anonymous box is your direct path to let your voice be heard on the show.

IT'S COMPLETELY CONFIDENTIAL AND ANONYMOUS. 

Thank you to everyone who continues to listen and support the show. There are no words to express how much you all mean to me. 

This week, I apologize for and explain last weeks episode. I work through my very raw  feelings regarding the recent death of my grandfather before getting back into regularly scheduled programming.

As we get back into regular AFC business, I discuss kitchen utensils as sex toys, my lack of luck in fantasy football and I work through my feelings on the Hawk Tuah girl.

Plus some podcast and te...

It's been a heavy start to September for me and I'm working through some personal issues the only way I know how, by talking them through on mic. 

Thanks for bearing with me.

At the end of the show, I answer a question from the Anonymous Box and give some recommendations of shows and podcasts.

Hopefully back to a more lighthearted episode next week.

This week I fight through a cold to tell you about a week that included taking too much vitamin C and having an argument with my coworker that left me feeling like I should have regrets but, surprisingly, I have none.

Along the way, we get perspectives from a Snot Rocketer, and a NYC cab driver, plus a listener paints an extremely vivid image of a Hollywood actress in her private life.

This week, we briefly dip into the mailbag for another edition of everyone's newest favorite segment about pooping.

Then we spend the rest of the episode on one question. "What is the horniest thing that you've ever done?" 

Well as it turns out I have not one, not two...but three stories that qualify. One of which I've never spoken out loud in my 43 years on this earth.

This was a fun one to record and we will resume normal format next week. Get your questions and comments into the anonymous box and l...
