The time has finally come to officially end this. In hindsight: this was the only place this could go. On my 37th birthday I sat down with the woman I've wanted to record with since I started this project almost 7 years ago and we wrap it up with a long, downright silly version of "This Is Your Life In A Playlist with The One And Only Esther". If you listened from the beginning, if you contributed to the playlist, if you contributed to my partreon, if you don't know how you got here, if you're just listening to this episode out of curiosity if I mentioned you: Thanks for being part of this. It's been...

Lou Barett is back and we're reviewing a classic book on how to be the most masculine motherfucker in the room: The Way Of The Superior Man by David Daeda. 

Igor is back! We're finally caugt up after this! How long will that last? Only time will tell.

If you came here from Instagram: LOL. If you're an old time listener: I think we're up to date after this. 

It's dating app episode. This is probably better advice for women than men. Apparently all I need to do is smile more and cynical personality won't be as detrimental.

We're catching up. This episode is almost as old as long as Rachel has lived in Japan. We talk Will Smith's Slap, life as an expat in Japan, and what the pandemic took from us. 

I'm back with a whole bunch of episodes I've been sitting on for too long for them to be relevant. Even this episode was recorded in a time when women had a percieved consitutional right to murder any living thing in their body. 

She's out! Again! Is this okay? Has she betrayed her race? She may not be making waves in the NCAA but she's definitely growing as a person and I'm here to listen and learn.

Back on track and ready for the apocolypse with the man whose always loaded for bear Louis Michael.

From the lesser known corners of YouTube I've got self-proclaimed incel Darkcel on the cast. One of the guests I was most interested to talk to this year. I actually recorded this episode a month ago but then got sick not once not twice but three times (once was Covid) and lost all the podcast asset files so excuse me. But it's here. It's done. I found the backup project and the episode - like me - is live.

Rob Morris is back in LA and can't say he experiences the same type of despair I did right before I left. 

Alex is back and he really wants me to meditate. 

Scarlet is one of the hardest working people I ever met in Los Angeles and her body of work after a decade definitely shows it. We've only known eachother for half of that but as someone who came to the city of angels and broken dreams around the same time she did I thought it would be fun to talk about how much we've changed over the last ten years.

Lou is back to ring in the New Year. We we're suppose to talk about polyamory but got stuck for way longer on raising kids and the way parent's fail us. Also, just after exporting this I remembered I may have mentioned Bob Saget... This was recorded before his death... if that matters.

SEASON 6!!!  If you think it's hard to get here it's not. People give dedicated people a lot of credit but it's just as often fueled by lunacy as it is gusto and conviction. But here we are. If I could go back in time and talk to myself at the beginning I'd say "lower your expectations, maybe make it a more focused project" but I wouldn't have listened then either. 

It's the last episode of the year! It's the year end wrap up! I've done five of these and the only thing I've really accomplished is the one thing we ever accomplish after a run around the sun: perspective. 

Oh my god an episode that's on schedule and a guest who is non-binary!? Things are definitely changing.  Lou Barrett is a self proclaimed queer writer and publisher and an appreciator of a good argument. We don't get into a lot of them here but I feel like this episode will be a good primer to many conversations we'll have in the future.

We're back. We're back for good now. I promise. This is not a false alarm. I got distracted but I'm grounded now and I'm ready to commit.  This episode is from weeks ago but I promise it's still ripe and I've got fresh fruit coming around the bend. Don't leave me! I need you! I need this!

I've been gone for a while but I'm still doing this even though there's already enough people doing it as well.

I'm tired and high and I forgot to turn the TV off while recording this.

This is not financial advice. Fuck this is barely content...

It's a guest! And it's long! A long episode of stuff you've probably already talked about with your friends!

Unlucky at NFTs unlucky at picking counties that like Desantis.

Fuck I forgot to talk about Only Fans.

First time talking about someone who passed. Hope this doesn't get back to his parents.

For sure the most clickbait title of a podcast episode this year.

Recorded weeks ago before my going on a very intense family trip that lead to a bit of a depressive fit leading to the next episode.

I'm back on time. I'm going to try to keep it that way. Rob and I talk about weddings, extracurricular competitions, and the comedy bubble of Austin Texas.

Jake Paul, Bo Burnam and the my pick for the celebrity boxing match of the millennia. 

I'm on the road so there's no guest and this is late as usual. I should work on my own discipline.

Another one of the great people I've met through Igor Hiller.

Finally getting some experienced individuals on here as I talk with Christopher Irons about why people are being to fanciful about crypto specifically Bitcoin and Doge but also how this might not have been avoidable.

Listen to this. Follow Alex Feder. Hire female bands.

It's Igor so you should listen. That's all there is to it.

It's been a week. This is an episode with a funny guy who is a great comedian currently making music. Basically we're both exploring our options.

Lotta talk in this one with an old friend Rob Banks.

It's my favorite Nikki Bon all over again and she's obsessed with Clubhouse! And why wouldn't she be! It's high school all over again!

Covid ain't as big a deal as you might think. Gotta do a better job recording this audio moving forward. But I'm settling in, like I always am, and Im still figuring out my new method of recording these things. Regardless it's another single serving episode. You either love it or you hate it.

It's the episode I got Covid in! This is episode James Couture and I talk about how he got into comedy and the tribulations of teaching kids that are in the system.

Another blast from the past from who remembers me fondly but never remembers hanging out with me.  

It's not really all the much about clubhouse. I just needed an excuse to talk to my friend and distant colleague Monarey Martinez about her new podcast.

There's no one who has thrown things at the wall quite like Rob. 

He's back! SBN3 one of the realist creators I've met. After making countless of re-dubs and some incredibly informative videos on the art of Voice Acting our man is now moving into the world of video gaming with his up coming project "Class of '09". We talk about that and of course how life has changed for us (and let's face it everyone) since we last spoke.

God help me if I don't know how to be passionate without sounding angry. In this episode I try not to talk the whole time about your financial future but I just care too much to let it go.

I finally have something to smile about and you should too.

I'm gonna have to change this titling system soon.

This isn't much more coherent than the last one but hopefully it'll make you worry less about me.

Don't worry. It's not exactly what you think. It's way more vague than that.

It's one of my favorite people and I love this episode so we're giving it to you early. Enjoy. It's a long one but a fun one.

It's SEASON 5! And in true form the episode is going up a day late and probably already completely irrelevant. But here it is: an episode explaining why I'm leaving my home of 9 years in hopes of finding a home that's farther away from the ever growing chaos that is changing the entire world as we know it.

It's the end of the year episode and I try to convince Igor that I'm in a great place in life despite sounding incredibly cynical about the present, where we're headed, and where I could have been.
