133: Icicle Brain
1/22/2026
Hi my friends — yes, I'm still alive.
I've been working my way through some new medical nonsense, but I finally got this episode finished, and I'm hoping that means I can keep things moving again. In this one, I talk a little about what I've been dealing with lately, my renewed appreciation for both new and old writing, and the strange experience of dodging icicles and frozen trees like it's some sort of low-budget action movie.
I hope you're doing well out there. Let's try to meet up again next week.

1/6/2026
Now that those bothersome holidays are over it's time to get down to the real work of creating podcasts again. And this episode hopefully will give you a new goal for the rest of 2026. Maybe even for the remainder of your life. And who know how long or short that'll be. Let's concentrate on right now, okay? Happy New Year, folks.

132: Better Than You
12/10/2025
Speeding closer to Christmas and here I am watching Pandas have sex. Is that wrong? Then why are they showing it on my TV?? We're a couple weeks from Christmas and I'm just not feeling it this year. I'm already planning for next year. I want to talk to you a bit about artist consciousness vs sports consciousness and how those affect out society. Don't worry, it won't hurt. See you next week.

131: A Thanksgiving To Not Remember
11/27/2025
Hi friends! Hope all is well on this Thanksgiving week. Often the key to being thankful is just learning to navigate through change and come out unscathed. We're all not that lucky. Hope you are one who is. Now go eat lots of food and I'll see you next week.

Magic Words
11/19/2025
Hiya Outfluencers! Welcome to episode 130 of the show. It's a nice round number and a pretty cool accomplishment. But unfortunately, all I got for you to celebrate is this new episode. It's circular celebration. Let's never speak of it again. There are a couple of words that are magic in making interesting things happen. I thought I'd share those words with you this week. I hope it doesn't get me into trouble. See you next week.

Welcome back to the podcast my friends! It's the holidays and we are heading into our third season here at the Outta Toon Podcast.

On this episode I give us all a few tips for taking it to the next level. New shows are on Tuesday now. See you next week!

We're moving into summer. Keep it hot, y'all.

126: Tribute
5/30/2025
This week I've been clicking off chores and breaking eggs. Not necessarily on the same list, mind you. Have you noticed you listen to music differently as you age? In fact, your entire relationship with music changes as you get older. But that doesnt stop tribute bands. They're showing up by the dozens. I wonder if they get tribute groupies. I'll bet they do. Let's consider that until next time.

125: One Dope Pope
5/15/2025
In this week's show I confront the abscence of wifi and the presence of a new Pope. This is the kind of week I've had. Hope yours is great! See you soon.

124: Beat It, Kid
5/1/2025
Welcome to episode 124 and welcome to May! It's all going by so fast! This week I ponder moving to Tampa Bay in order to save my life. Also, I remember back to the days when I sat in the office of a retired professor who told me I should self-pleasure myself. Ah, memories. The Outta Toon Tune Up this week challenges you to get outside your box and, of course, we discuss many more things which we'll all forget in a few days. Take care of yourself and come back next week.

123: Books and Birthdays
4/23/2025
This week we discuss more about the things that make creativity difficult and why it's so hard being an artistic person. We all know about these things, right? I hope it's not just me. This is my birthday week so come on over for some cake and beer. In the meantime, let's chat again next week when I'm much older and wiser. Unless you don't show up and I have to drink all the beer.

122: Big, Burly Dudes
4/17/2025
On this episode I give a salute, shout out and a round of appreciation to big, burly dudes. Hey, can't a man give another man some attention without being... Oh, shut up. This week I've been a bachelor and have completely ruined the bachelor life for bachelors everywhere. Sorry, guys. There's other stuff here if you want to get into it. Try it out. Get in touch. Or are ya chicken??

121: Falling Wood
4/7/2025
I've been sheltered in place, writing a play. More about that later. But I've also been watching trees fall which is kinda fun. If you aren't watching "The Americas" narrated by Tom Hanks, its quite enjoyable. Give it a spin. Other than that, I've been listening to new music and turning down young women begging me for sex. So what's new with you? See you next week.

120: Lighting Up
3/11/2025
This week I'm battling the urge to smoke. Why? Someone get me a therapist and we'll all know. Today we discover the worst states to have a baby and the things you can't eat in other countries. Sorry, folks, this is the podcast. Finally, I pleade for you to recognize that you aren't special. This is why no one wants to listen to this podcast. Oh well. I'll try again next week.

119: Booze Sniffer
2/27/2025
What's the deal with the reality show The Baldwins? Are people watching this? Is anyone waiting to find out what secrets are being hidden in Alec Baldwin's immediate family? I have to admit, as a Baldwin, even I really couldn't care less. St. Patrick's Day is happening very soon and it's a great time to sniff a variety of booze. Shall we? You know I'll be there. Did you know you could fall into a life of crime depending upon your name? It's true. I examine who you know that might be a criminal based solely on their name. That's it for now. Let's talk again next week, okay?

118: Not Funny
2/18/2025
This week I ponder whether things get less funnier as you get older (not talking about this podcast). I try to get into the SNL 50th Anniversary and I wonder if we resist things like spirituality and politics if the ideas dont reinforce what we already think we know. Thanks for dropping by. I'll be back next week.

117: Funeral For A Friend
2/14/2025
This week, my friends, I say good bye to a long time friend and hello to a short time family member. Life is full of surprises. Hope all is well with you. See you soon.

Incensed and Old
1/27/2025
Hi, friends welcome to a new Monday episode of the Outta Toon Podcast. How are you? I'm feeling good. Getting back into the swing of things. I've been burning a lot of incense recently. Does that symbolize that I'm creating a new atmosphere or covering up something? Perhaps I'm trying to cover up instead of accepting? I'm been reading and seeing a lot recently about how we become invisible to people as we age. Am I avoiding? Let's chat about it. Thanks for dropping by.

115: Buffet
1/20/2025
On this Monday of political history and activity, I come to you with an episode packed with a buffet of topics. Topics such as 8 year old Chinese guitar players, "Breaking Bad" astronauts, mysteriously popular facebook pals and pimento cheese sandwiches from the north. These are the kinds of things you've come to expect from this podcast. I don't want to let you down. See you soon.
