Frantic Purpose...something I've decided we all have in common. Each one of us, whether you admit it or not, want this life to mean something.


This podcast is about honesty, communicaiton, life, love, music, and challenging norms, but mostly it is me and assorted guests getting in the weeds about what makes us human. The dirty bits that we try to hide, or maybe you're like me and you live them out loud.


I share my life with you, like I have since I was 10 years old, in the hopes that my honesty and openness will make you feel like there is someone out there that is just as crazy and screwed up us you.

    Do Straights Belong in the Castro? Or No?
    Sep 1 2026

    Amanda and I decided that for our next date we'd go to San Francisco's Castro district, well known as being the "Gay Capital of the World", a thriving LGBTQ+ community.

    However, hours before our date we started to discuss that we both felt a little off about going. We both felt like as straight, heterosexual breeders (something I've been called by members of the LGBTQ+ community), that we don't belong there, and we want to respect that.

    Witness Amanda and I discuss this dilemma in real time.

    The Drama - A Moral Dilemma, The Worst Thing You've Ever Done
    Aug 24 2026

    Amanda and I talk about a moral dilemma from the movie "The Drama", an A24 production. We talk about the worst things we've done, some family drama, and the bi-stander effect. How some people have some dark things they need help with, and it isn't good to be compelled to ignore those things.
