Odd Dad Out

Ever have one of those days where you're sure there was something you needed to do, but then you forget? That's me today. I know I had a topic planned for this week, but damnit if I didn't forget what it was. That there is the colander that is my brain. So we get to go on this mystery trip on my train of though together. But I do have some updates from last week's show, and a news segment packed with poor decisions. Finally, in Recommended Listening, in honor of Halloween, I'm giving you reason to worry about the kids coming to your door with "Murderous Minors: Killer Kids."

*This is one of the long me emptying out my brain/ heart and being very emotional episodes. So if you're not here for that, go ahead and skip this one.For the last 2 weeks I've been having to deal with "all the pains." Between the loss of 2 pets, the stress headaches from that and trying to complete all my interviews, and now excruciating tooth pain, I'm seriously over all of this. Also, I bury myself in my work to deal with grief, so I've put a bunch of new stuff in the shop http://shop.odddadoutpodcast.com Not a plug, but kind of a plug.There's a ton more written in the show notes athttp://odddadoutpodcast.com/all-the-pains:-odo-166Join the Facebook Group Oddballs: Friends of The Odd Dad Outhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/odddadoutDonate on Patreonhttp://patreon.com/join/odddadoutFollow Along on Social athttps://www.twitter.com/odddadout/https://www.facebook.com/odddadout/https://www.instagram.com/odddadout/ Hosted on Acast.

Geeze I'm busy this week. With all of the preparing for NAPODPOMO I almost forgot I still needed to do a regular episode. On top of that, our dog has been sick and I've been having to take him back and forth to his vet with no answers yet. In the news: I've got a guy who likes to scam scammers, a stupid woman who should have been eaten, and R. Kelly reaffirming that he's not only a douchebag, but also a jackass. Finally in Recommended Listening, I'm gonna try to keep it creepy for October with this week's feature: "A Girl And Her Horror."Full show notes at http://odddadoutpodcast.com/a-sick-dog,-r-kelly,-a-girl,-and-her-horror:-odo-165A Girl And Her Horrorhttps://linktr.ee/agirlandherhorrorJoin the Facebook Group Oddballs: Friends of The Odd Dad Outhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/odddadoutDonate on Patreonhttp://patreon.com/join/odddadoutFollow Along on Social athttps://www.twitter.com/odddadout/https://www.facebook.com/odddadout/https://www.instagram.com/odddadout/ Hosted on Acast.

Although he has appeared on the show before, Derek had yet to be my esteemed "Guest of the Month" so I needed to fix that. Because we're both nerds, we talk about video games. And, because we're both podcasters, we talk podcasting and how Derek has checked off a lot of podcast category boxes. He's done a gaming news show, an actual play tabletop game which shifted into an improvised audio drama, and now he's dipping his toes into True Crime with his new project "Lifeworld." https://www.rollingmisadventures.com/http://lifeworld.podbean.com/Join the Facebook Group Oddballs: Friends of The Odd Dad Outhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/odddadoutDonate on Patreonhttp://patreon.com/join/odddadoutFollow Along on Social athttps://www.twitter.com/odddadout/https://www.facebook.com/odddadout/https://www.instagram.com/odddadout/ Hosted on Acast.

Kind of an uneventful week I guess. We went to the first food truck event of the season, (now that the sun wont cook all the vendors inside their trucks.) I give an update on my whole "being sick" thing. No news theme this week, just stupidity. There's a guy who got fired over his attendance record, an idiot who tried to fight a grizzly bear, and an unplanned rant inspired by Moby's new neck tattoo. Lastly, in Recommended Listening, we're exploring the New Kingdom of America with "The Rise of King Asilas."Full show notes at http://odddadoutpodcast.com/the-rise-of-neck-tattoos:-odo-163The Rise of King Asilashttp://theriseofkingasilas.comJoin the Facebook Group Oddballs: Friends of The Odd Dad Outhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/odddadoutDonate on Patreonhttp://patreon.com/join/odddadoutFollow Along on Social athttps://www.twitter.com/odddadout/https://www.facebook.com/odddadout/https://www.instagram.com/odddadout/ Hosted on Acast.

Soooo... I'm sick. No 2 ways about it. I've been coughing my head off, and my voice is shot. So I'm gonna continue to talk about how I'm sick and my voice is shot because I'm smart that way. On a similar "smart" note, all of the news this week can be summed up in one question, "what were they thinking?" There's a preacher trying to outdo Jesus, a really idiotic French court ruling, and a Jackass who spent his life savings fighting a speeding ticket. But wait, there's more. In Recommended Listening I'm going back to a show that's been mentioned but not formally featured, it's "Oh No!

It's that time again. Time for someone to invite somebody on for a conversation that can only be had with my scrambled brain. This month I have, from Nerds With Words and Drop Tent Media, Adam Nutter. We spend a ton of time talking about comedy. Whether it's standup comedians or comedy films, we've got opinions. Somehow we end up talking sports, and how at our age, we both suck. Plus tons of tangents and randomness because, frankly, we both have brain damage.

I still cannot believe it, but by a strange series of events, we have acquired another dog from my sister this week. In the news I've got weird proposed laws, pumpkin spice Spam, and a Jackass impersonating a police officer. In place of a Recommended Listening feature, I have a small sampling of what I've been bingeing lately ahead of some future features.-Promos-Rise of King AsilasOh No!

This week I had a startling revelation about my youngest son, and it involves a PB&J. Doing a complete 180, every story in the news has to do with penises. (I'm sorry. I don't plan this I swear.)

The last few weeks have been pretty hectic. Between getting settled back in to home life post-vacation, the boys starting back to school, and getting my groove back on the show, it's been very busy around here. Oh yeah, and in the middle of that, Sam decided he wanted to stop wearing diapers. The news is back with an idiotic lawsuit, what I can only describe as a dumb landscaper, and a ballsy car thief. Finally, in this week's Recommended Listening, it's time for the August 2019 Sunshine Summit.Links at http://odddadoutpodcast.com/back-to-school-potty-training:-odo-157/-Promos-August 2019 Sunshine SummitLuke Who's TalkingWheel Weaves PodcastRolling MisadventuresJoin the Facebook Group Oddballs: Friends of The Odd Dad Outhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/odddadoutDonate on Patreonhttp://patreon.com/join/odddadoutFollow Along on Social athttps://www.twitter.com/odddadout/https://www.facebook.com/odddadout/https://www.instagram.com/odddadout/ Hosted on Acast.

For July my guest of the month is the ever wonderful Paul Csomo from the Varmints podcast. Unlike his previous appearance, this time we actually ended up talking about animals quite a bit. Of course there's also the obligatory podcasting and tech talk. We talk about what it's like living in states with such dangerous wildlife. Also, we joke about Paul's experience eating bugs, and the difference between animal rights activists and conservationists, with a side track into Paul's Funko Pop collection.Full Links at http://odddadoutpodcast.com/peta-can-suck-it-w-paul-csomoJoin the Facebook Group Oddballs: Friends of The Odd Dad Outhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/odddadoutDonate on Patreonhttp://patreon.com/join/odddadoutFollow Along on Social athttps://www.twitter.com/odddadout/https://www.facebook.com/odddadout/https://www.instagram.com/odddadout/ Hosted on Acast.

I'm back from vacation and it's one of those my yaking my head off weeks. I'm going over all of the stuff from my recent vacation back to Texas, including my baby brother getting married. Warning: I can't tell a linear story, and I don't even know how much of things I actually got to, but it's fun to share my vacation with you.-Promos-August 2019 Sunshine SummitVarmintsJoin the Facebook Group Oddballs: Friends of The Odd Dad Outhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/odddadoutDonate on Patreonhttp://patreon.com/join/odddadoutFollow Along on Social athttps://www.twitter.com/odddadout/https://www.facebook.com/odddadout/https://www.instagram.com/odddadout/ Hosted on Acast.

Lately it seems like the older boys have been getting to be bigger and bigger pains. We've repeatedly caught them sneaking around early in the morning, stealing treats from the cabinets, and outright lying to us. Maybe it's because they are in a new school, and are picking up bad habits from other kids. Maybe it's because they seem to be getting bullied by a couple other boys on the playground. Either way, it's been trying our patience for a few weeks now as they come home with increasingly jerky attitudes. We're open to any suggestions to remedy said jerkyness.On a happier note (at least for her) ReAnna renewed her library card! Let's all remember, she's going to school to be a librarian, so a trip to the library is fun times... fun... times. Of course this means stories about going to the library that have way more excitement than stories about going to the library should, bless her heart. In a similar kind of connected vein, we've gotten pretty hooked on the NBC show "Midnight, Texas" which is based on the

For the month of July I will be re-releasing select episodes of "Mom and Dad Cuss (a Little)" while we take our annual family vacation. This is Ep 24: "Home Improvement"No plans for this week, just chatting about things. This week we just jump in to how things are going around the house. We discuss taxes, health and diet, and have a small discussion about the gender pay gap. It's tax time! It's the time of year some people dread, and others depend on for household plans. This year we are using our tax return to do some improvements around the house. We are finally paying off our van and getting the A/C fixed in it, among other things. We purchased a new Tuft & Needle mattress. And we are replacing our beaten up dining table booth seat with a set of refurbished church pews. On a more personal side, ReAnna has officially completed her first class on her quest to gain her Librarian degree with an "A." She's also made some steps toward improving her health, including finding a new doctor and getting on thy

Since June is Pride month, I decided to be a little pandery and invite the only gay podcasters I know, Chris and Cody from BSP: Believer Skeptic Podcast, on as my Guests of the Month.If you aren't familiar, BSP is a paranormal/ supernatural podcast with an LGBT twist.We talk about our families and how theirs reacted to them "coming out." I share my experiences having a gay sister who is also pagan and how our family dealt with my wife and I "coming out of the broom closet." We rip on YouTubers a bit, and I freaked them out with some creepy supernatural stories from my life.Full Show Notes at http://odddadoutpodcast.com/154BSP: Believer Skeptic Podcasthttp://bspodphx.com/https://twitter.com/BSPodPhxhttps://instagram.com/BSPodPhxhttps://www.facebook.com/BSPodPhxJoin the Facebook Group Oddballs: Friends of The Odd Dad Outhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/odddadoutDonate on Patreonhttp://patreon.com/join/odddadoutFollow Along on Social athttps://www.twitter.com/odddadout/https://www.facebook.com/odddadout/https://w

Summer is now in full swing, and that means getting the cars ready for vacation. Especially when one of the planned repairs forces your hand. From rental pogo sticks to shoddy land deals, this week's news is all about poor spending. Lastly, in Recommended Listening, I have what seems to be my most talked about show not featuring John Bukenas. It's actually time to talk about "Girl in Space."Full show notes at: -BS From The News--Swedish Company Wants To Replace E-Scooters With Pogo Stickshttps://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2019/05/31/swedish-startup-to-bring-pogo-sticks-to-s-f-as-e-scooter-alternative/-Florida Man Spent $13,000 For A 30cm Strip of Landhttps://7news.com.au/business/property/man-who-thought-he-bought-first-house-furious-after-it-turns-out-to-be-30cm-strip-of-land-c-168750-Town Wants To Fine People For Appealing Fineshttps://waow.com/news/2019/06/14/stevens-point-could-soon-fine-residents-for-fighting-fines/-Jackass Of The Week-Man Jumps Off Balcony; Sues Hotel For Injurieshttps://www.afrinik.com/

Another abbreviated show this week. I'm sticking to just my weekly what's goings on this time around. This includes our recent drama over treating a possibly sick tortoise and my recent YouTube obsession with blacksmithing videos.

Looks like it’s going to be shorter shows for the next couple weeks. Long story short, my boys being in a summer camp program has totally messed with my daily home schedule and I just don’t have the time for longer shows for a couple weeks. But I did give you a little teaser for an upcoming feature. -Summer Camp-Because of the boys current schedule for their summer camp program, my daily routine has been thrown off a bit. In simplest terms, when I should be sleeping, I’m picking up the boys from school. Also, because of them being in school and hyped up from their day, they don’t want to take a nap when they get home, which means that I can’t take a nap either. Plus, I’ve still got all of my regular house duties. Having to take the boys to school and pick them up in only a couple hours span really puts a pinch on that stuff. I know it’s only for a couple weeks, but it wears on you after a bit.Upcoming FeatureGirl In SpaceAs mentioned by Emily Prokop in ep 150, I have recently been binge listening to the Girl

May’s guest of the month is one of my oldest podcast friends. She’s a podcaster, podcast editor, consultant, and author. From The Story Behind, Hate to Weight, and E-Podcast Productions, it’s Emily Prokop.I really didn't know where this "interview" was gonna go. But, Considering we are both passionate about podcasting and are podcast editors, I should have expected we would have spent so much time talking shop. What can I say? You put a couple of podcast editors together and all we can talk about is plugins and breath noises. We gripe about people who want the "podcast franchise" handed to them. Also, we discuss some of our favorite podcasters. What would happen if Apple made a podcast creation app? The difference between Apple vs Android users in podcasting, and why I can't go to the She Podcasts Live conference. Of course there's also Emily's podcast recommendation, "Girl In Space."Find Emily athttp://thestorybehindpodcast.com/https://www.epodcastproductions.com/http://hatetoweight.com/Emily’s Recommendatio
