Imagine you’re a ten-year-old living in Honolulu, Hawaii, just a few blocks from Waikiki.
Now imagine you wake up on a beautiful December morning to the sounds of planes overhead and explosions not so very far away.
You’re too young to understand: Why these planes are attacking. Why your mother and grandmother are so frightened. Why you won’t see your father again for more than 3 years.
And you definitely don’t understand that you’ve just witnessed America's entry into the Second World War.

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.
