Prepare to enter a realm of laughter, mystery, and intrigue as Alexander James, Appe-TEASER and soon-to-be-published author of THE WOODKIN, graces the Don't Make It Weird Podcast once again. He brings us tales from his journey to publication, his Dungeons & Dragons improv comedy podcast Critically Stupid, and even a little insight into his experience with our drinking game known as Buffalo. We even make space for a sneak peek into the saucy working title for his sex tape. Brace yourselves for a lighthearted journey filled with signature humor, cheeky revelations, and much more!

Take a detour with us as we delve into conspiracy theories, celebrity lookalikes, and the curious case of Keanu Reeves' alleged immortality. Is it linked to Emperor Charlemagne's membership in the Illuminati? Is Chris Gaines really Garth Brooks' alter ego? But that's not all! We crack open the taboo vault to explore turn-offs and unsexy things in the bedroom – from societal views on massage to the contentious six-pack debate. Our conversation takes a serious turn when we discuss the challenges of transitioning from an artist to a salesman in the publishing industry. Alex shares his firsthand experiences, revealing insider tips on marketing, professional branding, and the value of connecting with small bookstores.

As we wrap up, prepare to descend into the bizarre depths of creepy erotic literature with our Cringey Copulation segment. Indulge in our discussion on the garish spectrum of literature, from Wendy Parriam's SPEAK SOFTLY to Richard E. Grant's BY DESIGN. Come along for a rollercoaster ride as we navigate the wild and wonderful world of publishing, celebrity conspiracy theories, and uncanny bedroom pre ferences. Don't miss out on this hilarious, revealing, and occasionally weird episode!
