In this episode I discuss the difficult topic of mortality, the ethics involved in medical treatments, DNRs and the failure of a hospital ravaged by a hurricane to care for the people under their roof.

This has to be the dumbest podcast I've ever made. I seriously thought about skipping this week due to work issues and truly a depressive episode that has me questioning who I truly am. But here you are, some raw, unfiltered Josh at his worst.

I'm still under the weather and I thought a 30 minute chat about why I love my 8 legged friends would be an easy armchair move turned into an hour about me gushing about my favorite pets. So skip or enjoy me give you the reasons you should enjoy this hobby and bring a furry 8 legged misunderstood beastie into your home and heart.

Explicit Warning. Not only for language, but for the content. This isn't the cheeriest podcast I've ever made and I apologize for the lack of energy and content. It is my hope that perhaps if we normalize our malcontent and share our pain that we can help each other find empowerment and healing in not carrying our burdens alone.

In this episode I talk about why our country is on fire, literally on fire and why its not climate change or the states direct fault and how you can help. Not one of my most fun episodes but I think the vast majority of people don't understand that 1/3 of this country is owned by the federal government and they are not taking care of it to prevent this kind of wildfire outbreak.

A down beat podcast that I've been trying to put together. Understanding the intersection between right/wrong and legal and illegal. The culmination of events and the memorial to a hero who lost his battle with cancer. We have to be more than the change of opinion we have to be the reform.

I know, I know, I'm a nerd who loves his comics and in this episode I gotta walk back some of my frankly incorrect comments and info from my last nerdy rant and really talk about my hopes and the future of the DC brand and what the Zach Snyder cut could mean for the future of the DCEU.

Ack I know... I have been asked a couple times what my politics are, what party I vote for, where I stand on the "issues" so I thought I'd address that and give you a chance to perhaps know me just a little more. I imagine this is going to be a big turn off for most of you so if this is what tanks my podcast so be it. Please feel free to skip and I'll be back to my normal politics free content next week.

I might touch a nerve with this one. Lets look at what the modern BLM movement has achieved, some pending reforms and the actual progress being made by the people fighting for justice and an equitable society. Also lets look at what I am calling distractions, people used to having the spotlight not getting enough attention and using their platforms to either bow out or redirect.

This was the single most scary episode I have ever recorded. I am acknowledging my flaws raw and from the heart, I am making the argument and explaining it from the white perspective. I am condemning and condoning, I am risking my reputation because I believe in my heart of hearts that enough is enough. Not one more drop of black blood should be spilled by a corrupt and unfair system that has targeted and oppressed people based on their culture and skin. I am with you, because I am you.

In this episode I talk about my favorite genre of movies! Superhero movies, what went right, what was wrong and how the era that dominated the 2000's box office is probably over.

In episode 5 I tell a story my grandmother used to tell me as a kid. Stories are wonderful mediums to help us pass the time, relay important morals and triumph over adversity. The art of story telling isn't exactly strong but I'm bringing it back in hilarious fashion to make you laugh and think on just how important the spoken word is in our daily lives. So grab a stiff drink, pull up a seat and listen to the Highlander and Death.
