We're moving into summer. Keep it hot, y'all.

This week I've been clicking off chores and breaking eggs. Not necessarily on the same list, mind you. Have you noticed you listen to music differently as you age? In fact, your entire relationship with music changes as you get older. But that doesnt stop tribute bands. They're showing up by the dozens. I wonder if they get tribute groupies. I'll bet they do. Let's consider that until next time.

In this week's show I confront the absence of wifi and the presence of a new Pope. This is the kind of week I've had. Hope yours is great! See you soon.

Welcome to episode 124 and welcome to May! It's all going by so fast! This week I ponder moving to Tampa Bay in order to save my life. Also, I remember back to the days when I sat in the office of a retired professor who told me I should self-pleasure myself. Ah, memories. The Outta Toon Tune Up this week challenges you to get outside your box and, of course, we discuss many more things which we'll all forget in a few days. Take ca...

This week we discuss more about the things that make creativity difficult and why it's so hard being an artistic person. We all know about these things, right? I hope it's not just me. This is my birthday week so come on over for some cake and beer. In the meantime, let's chat again next week when I'm much older and wiser. Unless you don't show up and I have to drink all the beer.

On this episode I give a salute, shout out and a round of appreciation to big, burly dudes. Hey, can't a man give another man some attention without being... Oh, shut up. This week I've been a bachelor and have completely ruined the bachelor life for bachelors everywhere. Sorry, guys. There's other stuff here if you want to get into it. Try it out. Get in touch. Or are ya chicken??

I've been sheltered in place, writing a play. More about that later. But I've also been watching trees fall which is kinda fun. If you aren't watching "The Americas" narrated by Tom Hanks, its quite enjoyable. Give it a spin. Other than that, I've been listening to new music and turning down young women begging me for sex. So what's new with you? See you next week.

This week I'm battling the urge to smoke. Why? Someone get me a therapist and we'll all know. Today we discover the worst states to have a baby and the things you can't eat in other countries. Sorry, folks, this is the podcast. Finally, I plead for you to recognize that you aren't special. This is why no one wants to listen to this podcast. Oh well. I'll try again next week.

What's the deal with the reality show The Baldwins? Are people watching this? Is anyone waiting to find out what secrets are being hidden in Alec Baldwin's immediate family? I have to admit, as a Baldwin, even I really couldn't care less. St. Patrick's Day is happening very soon and it's a great time to sniff a variety of booze. Shall we? You know I'll be there. Did you know you could fall into a life of crime depending upon your n...

This week I ponder whether things get less funnier as you get older (not talking about this podcast). I try to get into the SNL 50th Anniversary and I wonder if we resist things like spirituality and politics if the ideas dont reinforce what we already think we know. Thanks for dropping by. I'll be back next week.

This week, my friends, I say good bye to a long time friend and hello to a short time family member. Life is full of surprises. Hope all is well with you. See you soon.

Hi, friends welcome to a new Monday episode of the Outta Toon Podcast. How are you? I'm feeling good. Getting back into the swing of things. I've been burning a lot of incense recently. Does that symbolize that I'm creating a new atmosphere or covering up something? Perhaps I'm trying to cover up instead of accepting? I'm been reading and seeing a lot recently about how we become invisible to people as we age. Am I avoiding? Let's ...

On this Monday of political history and activity, I come to you with an episode packed with a buffet of topics. Topics such as 8 year old Chinese guitar players, "Breaking Bad" astronauts, mysteriously popular facebook pals and pimento cheese sandwiches from the north. These are the kinds of things you've come to expect from this podcast. I don't want to let you down. See you soon.

The holidays are done but it's still a great time to set some goals! Give it a shot. Do some fun new things. I'm hoping to be more creative and more healthy this year. Here's hoping. Thanks for listening to the podcast in 2024. Let's see if I can make it even better in 2025!

This week I'm getting into some new jazz music, approaching strangers in supermarket parking lots and getting carded for being too old. Is this what the holidays are all about?? It's no wonder the Grinch's heart was two sizes too small. See ya next week friends.

Hey everyone! How's your holidays so far? Have you made cookies yet? Anyone made potato chips? I tried. Didn't work out the way I had planned though. I wanted to chat a bit about something personal here. Maybe you can relate. Maybe not. But it might be something you are battling too. Also, can you believe I once paid $11 to see Van Halen live? Those were the days, kids. See you next week.

It's Monday and we're heading into the holidays at full speed. Is it too early for decorations? I think I'm going to go with it. And in the spirit of that, I request you embark on a journey with me in 2025. Up for it? Let's see if we can. Listen and I'll explain. Be back Thursday.

Hey, Look! It's Thursday! Two shows in a week again! In this episode I discuss techniques people use who wish to control you. This in hopes you don't get controlled. Look out. Also, most of the albums are more interesting played forward so put on some headphones and enjoy. Thanks for popping in twice this week. Let's try it again next week!

It's the post-election episode and I discuss coping. Surviving. Even thriving, if we dare. How you doing? I'm taking a bit of a social media sabbatical. Backing off the news too. What are your plans for moving through the political fray? Maybe you could become at artist. A guy in Italy just sold fruit taped to a canvas for a ridiculous amount of money. Maybe I should try that. See you soon, y'all!

Hey, it's a short show.  Second time in a row this podcast has referenced genitalia. What am I becoming?? Getting a chest cold. Halloween is coming up. Just wanted to check and make sure you are doing ok? Hope you get good candy in your Trick or Treat bag.
