Where Your Dad Used to Sit

An open letter essay on the small pubs and public houses across England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, and Northern Ireland are more important than you know .... along with their brother bars and taverns in the US.

The government folks have no stake in the game, because they just don't understand. For them, the age of COVID — The Year of the Mask — is just another opportunity for political posturing. But you and I ... we have something to lose.

Give this episode a listen. Cheers.

Hat tips to:

Small Paul and the Driving Wheel.

Ray Charles singing a song by Stevie Wonder.

The Cheers theme song by Gary Portnoy.

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.
