My podcast explores entertainment culture (nerd, pop, ect),self improvement and philosophy with a touch of whimsy and humor.

I found Dan Gelok's Instagram feed when I was researching for my music audition at URI.  Dan is super talented, an amazing mentor, and a great person.  We chat about all sorts of things in this episode.

This was my 10th year in That URI Ram Marching Band.  We moved our practice field.  That definitely caused challenges to the usual schedule of things. 

Sadly it was Leland Brown's last performance as the voice of the Ram Marching Band.  It is going to be sad not hearing his voice during our halftime performances.

Episode 191: Story Time

Show Notes:

  1. We are all members of the same species
  2. Some more nonsense
  3. Story time with Mary Sue (aka me), it's a brand new story idea based on one tiny scene that popped into my head, you get it raw. Yes I start stories with me and Chris Hardwick but later replace the two of us because why would I have stories about Chris Hardwick!!!!

  • This episode is dedicated to three people the world lost too soon:
    • Uncle Mike Lesieur age 67
    • Harris Wittels age 30
    • Draven Rodrigues age 17 (Laser Cat Yearbook meme)
  • This episode is a bit dark.  But I hope you find it thoughful and slightly philosophical.

Episode 33: Taking my talents to Germany

Taking my talents to Germany: The decision.

What's up with me? or What's Wrong with me?

  1. I'm heading to Germany from July 4-22nd.  I will be releasing podcasts when I'm there. I'll get to use my snowball mic that I've had forever.
  2. I beat Diablo 3 on normal!  W00t! Yes it took me a while but we did it! I carried the group....for once!! 

Joke of the week


Around the Pods

  1. Adam Carolla had LeVar Burton.  There wasn't much of a conversation with LaVar except for about Roots and Reading Rainbow.  They talked a bit about how he got into acting and how he got his first role in roots at the age of 19.  I hope LaVar is on Nerdist.  I would expect a more in depth conversation.  It is a mystery as to why Lavar called up Adam and told him to cut it out. Not a necessary episode if you are looking for some Lavar entertainment   
  2. Nerdist has Billy West and John Dimaggio
    1. Billy west was recently on Adam Carolla: http://www.adamcarolla.com/billy-west/ This was so funny.  The interaction between Billy and Adam is priceless.  Worth the download.
    2. Billy West was on Rob Paulsen's Talkin' Toons #19 http://robpaulsenlive.com/episode-18-of-robs-weekly-podcast-is-out/ 
    3. Billy West was on an early Nerdist #49 http://www.nerdist.com/2010/12/nerdist-podcast-49-billy-west-not-ready-for-publication-yet/
    4. John Dimaggio was on the latest Rob Paulsen's Talkin' Toons #47 http://robpaulsenlive.com/episode-47-guest-john-dimaggio/




I'll be ending with a word from Larry Miller himself.  It was good to hear from him.  The sad part is that it sounds as if he'll be out for a while.  In the mean time please please please go and subscribe the This Week with Larry Miller.  His stories are great! He is funny and delightful.  Larry, I'm glad to hear that you are doing well.  I miss you and I love you!

    2.
