Hi,
I spent more than 100 hours on this 3 minute song and video.
First, I wrote the song. Then I practiced the song. Then I recorded my guitar and vocals. I next sent those files to my amazing friend Ryan Dicker, a musical genius and sound engineer, who added bass and drums, before mixing it down. He’s amazing.
Then, I drew. Fifty times. Then I edited. And re-drew. And edited. Then I stopped. Warts and all…
Please give it a listen, and please send it to a friend if you think they’d like the song and its message.
I sincerely hope you enjoy this. I had so much fun. So much. And life is supposed to be fun, right?
Lyrics:
The Biggest Giant Ever (in the World)
The biggest giant ever
The biggest giant ever
The biggest giant ever, in the world
Once upon a time when dinosaurs ruled this land
There weren't any humans but the giants had clans
and in this special group there was an extra-large man
He was the biggest giant, but no one understands
The biggest giant ever
The biggest giant ever
The biggest giant ever, in the world
Swimming and sunshine and darkness and cold
In Flagstaff ya know, in Flagstaff I'm told
Swimming and sunshine and darkness and cold
In Flagstaff ya know, in Flagstaff I'm old
Fear is just a word that people give to things
But there's no such thing, yeah there's no such thing
Fear is just a word that people give to things
But there's no such thing, yeah there's no such thing.
The biggest giant ever
The biggest giant ever
The biggest giant ever, in the world
Swimming and sunshine and darkness and cold
He was the biggest giant at least that's what I'm told
but even if he's tired or he's just feeling old
he was the biggest giant in the whole wide world
And once upon a time when dinosaurs ruled this land
There weren't any humans but the giants had clans
and in this special group there was an extra-large man
He was the biggest giant but you will never understand

Intentionally Disturbing
Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
