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...

Death, dancing at prom, and the false nature of nachos are just some of the things on my mind this week as I talk through my emotions and tumble down rabbit holes of tangents.

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.

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", ...

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 "i...

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.

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...
