Episode 25: Season 2 – Make Podcasts Great Again

Ka is a wheel, time is a face on the water.  Welcome to season 2!

Your host KRS is back and he’s blacker than ever, especially on the inside.  (Producers note: I asked for a segment to be cut, on air, and was overruled.  My deepest apologies to the robust dog park babe, please only blame Chris.  Sad face emoji)

The season changed but the message is the medium – news, shower thoughts and meditations.  Lets do this.

Episode 24: Rock Bands, FBI Raids & The Casino Life

“A successful fake casino can make as much as a very large casino with half of the infrastructure and overhead” – Carlos F.

For the first live podcast of 2016 I interviewed Carlos F., Director of Technical Services for a 3 billion dollar casino organization in Pennsylvania.  He opens up about his life growing up playing in rock bands, the FBI raid that ended his musical career and pawning all equipment for true love.  Carlos sheds light on some common misconceptions about gaming, where he see’s the future of gambling and what its like to hit a slot machine for 50 Grand and make it rain.

During ShowerThoughts we hit:

  • Spanish people who cant speak the language soy milk just stating who they are in Spanish
  • Being a fat guy at McDonald’s is like being the muscle guy at the gym.  People stay our of your way because they know you mean business
  • Maybe the best way to discourage teens from doing drugs would be to have really uncool adults talk about how awesome and fun drugs are
  • Vegans eating foods that taste like meat are like lesbians having sex with a strap on
  • When you cant Netflix and chill there’s always amazon and alcohol
  • Online BDSM communities are one of the only times that getting chained up in someone else’s basements is a positive outcomes
  • My girlfriend leaves so much hair around my house it would be impossible to clear her DNA and prove she was never there

We close out the show with Meditations, discussing a quote from Tara Brach.  “Perhaps the biggest tragedy of our lives is that freedom is possible, yet we can pass our years trapped in the same old patterns…We may want to love other people without holding back, to feel authentic, to breathe in the beauty around us, to dance and sing. Yet each day we listen to inner voices that keep our life small.”

Episode 22: 2015 – It’s A Wrap – Year In Review

2015 was a crazy and turbulent year, full of adversity and new beginnings.  We look back on the year and what it’s brought to our lives.  I’m so grateful for everyone who downloaded our episodes and supported the show.  It’s been more fun than I can even explain.

The show opens with a quick synopsis of the key points of 2015, where we discuss vulnerability, getting outside your comfort zone and taking risks.  Justin shares lessons learned and perspective gained from falling off a 55 foot cliff.  We share our new years resolutions and why people rarely achieve them.  We round out the segment with the importance of starting every day at zero and having the vision to scale what works.

ShowerThoughts and the New Covers:

  • How often has a receptionist at a sperm bank said the phrase, “thanks for coming”
  • If Kanyne West became President, you would be able to see the first lady on Pornhub – That sloppy, Armenian pig getting dicked down by Ray Jay
  • “As Fuck” as a unit of measure
  • The use of emojis closing the language barrier in the dating world and what you can tell about a person by their most used emojis
  • Dirty talk sex blunders
  • FDA banning tanning beds
  • Steve Harvey’s blunder

We end the show with a Meditation from the man we named the segment for , Marcus Aurelius.  “The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts.”  Creating happiness in your life based on perspective.

Producers note: Launching a podcast in 2015 was a strange and rewarding journey for us.  This year, find what song you hum in your head, and sing it out loud!  There are no wrong notes.  You’re going to find satisfaction where you’re most uncomfortable.  Much love to you all for joining us, we hope to meet you on your own new adventures!

A little FilmEar Action

I got a little turnt up and made an appearance on Natrebo’s podcast FilmEar – A trainwreck ensued.  His normally very structured show was spun off the rails.

We bounce around this crossover episode discussing:

  • Memorable movie theater experiences
  • Hilarious Liam Neeson performances
  • Occasionally having drinks thrown in your face
  • Getting bamboozled into a date using Big Trouble in Little China as bait.

Natrebo most likely won’t ever ask me back as a guest.  But, we had a lot of fun making this podcast.   Hopefully you have as much fun listening to it!

Check out Natrebo and his podcast on iTunes, as well as @FilmEar on twitter.

Episode 21: Regret Comes In Many Forms

Regret2

What do Butta, Porta Potties and hiding in a shower have in common for KRS?  In this episode we unpack how and when male regret sets in – As well as it effects on performance.

In our second segment we look at: sex education, liquid soap making showering in jail safer, some rubbers erase mistakes while others prevent them and the impetus of finding farts funny.

We close the show with a quote from Charles Dickens, “No one is useless in this world who lightens the burden of another.”  The importance of helping those around you and giving back to the world we live in.

Episode 20: You Gonna Hit That Bro

Episode 20 opens up with KRS talking about his new favorite invention which leads directly into horror stories at SeaWorld and the Zoo.

ShowerThoughts hits on body dysmorphia and the rising use of steroids outside of sports, dating a transgender person before they made the change and sword fighting at the gym… but not exactly what you’re picturing.

We end on a Meditation from Henry Ford: “If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses.”

Episode 19.5 – Technical Difficulties

1204-stiches-mugshot-3Unfortunately this week we had some issues.  A technical mishap made the second half of the show unusable.  We salvaged the first 25 minutes and rolled with it.

The episode opens with KRS writing an E-mail suggestion to Tinder and Bumble that is completely taken out of context.  An attempt at a comical E-mail leaves him with concerns about being placed on a watch list.  Which leads us into another prime example of poor choices and the possible dangers of dating apps.

In our ShowerThought segment we ponder: There are no rhymes in sign language, how archaeologists will view the remains of Disney World, the real moral of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, Mcribs – the deadbeat dad of fast food industry and the ability to ruin families with a simple anonymous letter.

Our news segment gets cut way short.  But not before we discuss KRS’s favorite guilty pleasure, the rapper Stitches.  A recent altercation at a Miami night club left Stitches looking for his street cred anywhere he could find it after an embarrassing one punch KO.

The rest of the recording was shot.  We apologize for the technical difficulties.  We promise to form like Voltron and come hard during upcoming episodes.

Episode 19: This Is Water, This Is Water

Shout out to all our fans!  We want to send our gratitude and thanks to each and every one of you for supporting the show.  We wish you all a very happy holiday with friends and family – take care of yourself and someone else!

In this episode KRS bounces off on people who post absurdly stupid Facebook posts and the politics of life in our digital age.  We touch on the paradox of government efficiency when it comes to collecting -vs- spending money and the complications of an election cycle.

Our second segment dives into ShowerThoughts featuring comic relief on otherwise tense current events, and KRS opines on Vladimir Putin being a modern world gangster.  We close with Meditations featuring the immeasurable David Foster Wallace, and a short quote: “This is water.”

Episode 18: Wrap It Up with Mike Mac

Is it racist to admit you saw ninja stars at an Asian club night?  Do you feel comfortable standing on a guy named Carpet Boy?  Should Pat Burrell go fuck himself?  All this and more as we bring in our tallest guest to date, powerful Mike Mac is in studio.

15 years in the Phila bar business, we go deep with Mike into some of his more interesting stories.  It’s all there – college bros, hip-hop, fetish parties, stabbings, Allen Iverson being a shitty tipper.  Something for everyone.

In our second segment, ShowerThoughts touches on Mike’s adventures as a semi-pro poker player including a spin through a casino in Bulgaria.  We close with thoughts on how culture change is reflected in bar etiquette, and a few stories on why you should always be nice to bouncers.

*Producers note – We warm up the mics each show before starting – this week KRS decided you would go behind the scenes and hear our first minute before the show started!

Episode 17: KRS Beats Cancer

The title says it all!  KRS discusses his most recent surgery and time spent in the hospital – including some interesting side effects and a lack of shame around the hospital staff.  The conversation considers if a brush with mortality is truly an agent of change.

In this weeks Shower Thoughts we discuss Facebook replacing the need for high school reunions, Apple’s insane terms and conditions and the most real calculation of flossing ever created.

We close with Meditations, using an monologue from an unusual source – Jim Shockey’s TV show Uncharted.  We look at what drives people to create their own adventures trying to meet personal challenges in uncharted territory.
