Our very special Monday guest is Ryan Essmaker, the mind behind The Great Disconnect, sorry, The Great Connect Four, sorry, The Great Discontent, a blog about depressed and unhappy creative people. Ryan also works at Crush + Lovely, where he probably makes wine.

When Ryan isn't canoeing around the streets of lower Manhattan dressed as a viking, he can be found in a top secret location creating S's and searching for his next fix of bourbon.

Today's episode is not sponsored by The Mild Inconvenience (because it doesn't exist ... yet).

On Today's special live edition of the show I welcome fellow Cincinnatian Chris Glass. When Chris isn't busy making various goods from fire and wine, you might find his beard performing magic or attempting to find the perfectly fitting bathrobe.

‍

In his spare time Chris is a high security designineer for The President and the gatekeeper to Aaron Draplin. Chris is tall, carries a camera so that he doesn't have to talk to you, and enjoys farming.

A special thanks to Aaron Dowd for helping with the audio (albeit, I provided him terrible quality audio)

If you've ever wondered how weird and crazy this show could get, then you'll love today's episode with Austin treasure hunter Dave Rupert. Dave is best known for having the first successful animatronic beard transplant and for creating nearly lifelike portraits purely from CSS code.

When Dave isn't practicing foreign accents, he can be found writing code while wearing gloves at Paravel in Austin BBQ TX and hosting his own talkshow about things and other things and maybe bacon.
