Odd Dad Out

It’s the last week of school for my boys, and summer is right around the corner. In the news, I’ve got a few ways to really waste your money. I’ve got an update on last weekend’s Livestream For The Cure. And, in Recommended Listening, we’re revisiting a show that has announced their end. It’s time to say goodbye to More Gooder Than.Summer Is ComingIt’s the last week of school for my boys. Soon enough, instead of having my 2 younger boys home, I will have all 4 of my boys at home all day. I’ve talked before about how much it messes with our daily routine when any of the boys or my wife are home during the day. Now it’s full time at home and it’s a whole new routine.On top of that, we’re gonna have the 3 older boys all in a summer prep camp for 2 weeks starting in June. This is gonna help get them ready for next year and help Bug get used to what it’s like going to school at all. Plus, it will help get our youngest used to life without his brother home all day. It’s definitely gonna be a new experience.BS From

Ever have one of those days, where you brain just fritzes out and you don’t remember what you were gonna say? That’s me today. I do have some weird news though, including some creative political ads, an ironic act of arson, and some people who are just too sensitive about stuff. Lastly, it’s time for the 3rd Annual Livestream For The Cure.http://odddadoutpodcast.com/why-so-serious?-:odo-148/Brain FryHave you ever had one of those days where you just completely forget what you were supposed to be doing? That’s me today. I know I had a few things to talk about for the show this week, but for the life of me I can’t remember any of it. I should probably really start writing these things down. Then again, if I did that, then you wouldn’t get these sort of episodes. Let’s see where this goes together. Shall we?Ignorance Was BlissI was on Episode 134 of Ignorance Was Bliss. Officially we talked about having Olympic medals for asshattery. Then again, this is me we’re talking about so the conversation went all over th

So you know how I mentioned my wife being sick during Foodstock? Now that plague has spread across our boys. Speaking of plague, the news brings tales of why you should be more careful about what you eat. And finally, in Recommended Listening, its time to learn something cool with “Your Brain On Facts.”http://odddadoutpodcast.com/don't-eat-that!-odo-147/Another Round Of PlagueA few weeks ago my wife came down with what I can only call a viciously wicked cough paired with a 101 degree fever. It wasn’t really full blown flu, just the fever and a throat scraping, lung removing cough. Of course, sickness never stays put in a house with 4 kids and it has slowly been creeping through them. First, Damien missed almost a whole week of school. Now I’ve had Bug and Sam sleeping in my bed and coughing their heads off for the last couple nights.Somehow I’ve managed to avoid actually catching this thing for the time being. Here’s hoping it stays that way.BS From The NewsCanadian Doctors Warn Women To Stop Eating Placentah

It's funny how, on a week where all of my topics are revisiting things I've talked about in the past, I would also end up re-recording the episode. I get in to going to Foodstock again last weekend and how that all went down. And, in Recommended Listening I pull out a "in case you missed it" for my recent appearance on a previously featured show, "Millennial Pagan Podcast."-Recommended Listening-Millennial Pagan Podcasthttps://paganpod.podbean.com/Ep. 24 Gatekeeping and Inclusionhttps://paganpod.podbean.com/e/ep-24-gatekeeping-and-inclusion/Millennial Pagan Podcast is a voice to the growing number of Pagan Millennials and our brand of Witchcraft, Magic, Practice, and Worship.

He is also part of the twisted collective we call the Surprise M-f-ers.

Back in true form. I’m all over this week. I go from allergy meds to my cat coffee-ing my keyboard. The news brings a lot of porn, a big waste of money, and the worst penis enlargement idea ever. And in Recommended Listening it’s the now 5 time featured John Bukenas and his “Unbelievably Stupid Podcast.”Full links at http://odddadoutpodcast.com/allergies,-keyboard-cats,-and-other-unbelievably-stupid-things:-odo-144/Join the Facebook Group Oddballs: Friends of The Odd Dad Outhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/odddadoutFollow Along on Social athttps://www.twitter.com/odddadout/https://www.facebook.com/odddadout/https://www.instagram.com/odddadout/ Hosted on Acast.

Another show where I didn't come up with a theme for the news, the news did that all by itself. I've got 3 stories out of China that just make me shake my head, including a couple questionable driver's licenses, and an example of how not to incorporate smoothies into your diet. Plus, we took the boy's bowling, and, in so many words, we suck.Subscribe to ODO athttp://odddadoutpodcast.com/subscribeJoin the Twisted World of The Odd Dad Out grouphttps://www.facebook.com/groups/odddadoutFollow Along on Social athttps://www.twitter.com/odddadout/https://www.facebook.com/odddadout/https://www.instagram.com/odddadout/ Hosted on Acast.

The March Guests Of The Month are Lisa and Sam from I Shake My Head with Lisa and Sam. Like all of my guests, we talk a little about podcasting, how they do their show, our pod-friends, and how we became friends in the first place.In classic Lisa and Sam fashion, we geek out over donuts, spring training baseball, we get into Lisa’s hangups about food, and I make a case for why I should be their designated “Merican,” or at least their “Mexcan-Merican.” As always, tangents abound. For their podcast recommendation they suggest a fellow Canadian podcast, “Nooks and Crannies.”I Shake My Head w/ Lisa and Samhttps://ismhead.podbean.com/“I Shake My Head” follows the decades long friendship of two goofy women from Saskatoon who find themselves having some of their best conversations in the car! Yes, they actually record in Sam’s car, “Betty.” It’s not especially deep, or political. But, they don’t want to make you think. They just want to make you laugh and be the least stressful part of your day.*Extended Patreon Ver

Spring break is here and the boys are home, so what does that mean for me? It’s time to do some spring cleaning. To be fair, we also decided to make some fresh lemonade, (because Arizona.) In the news I’ve got another fake kidnapping, a questionable use of a t-shirt cannon, and what can only be described as the worst sexual experience imaginable. In Recommended Listening, the sexual news seems like the perfect opportunity to talk about this extra naughty podcast, it’s “Two 2 Girls, One Mic: The Porncast.”Spring CleaningIt’s spring break, and around our house that means it’s time for spring cleaning. More accurately, it means that it’s the time when my wife tells me that I have to clean out the garage.I should start by saying that my wife and I tend to be pack rats. It’s not because we don’t want to throw things out. We tend to pack things up when we move, and then stick those boxes in the new garage and never open them again. Last year my nephew and I spent an entire day pulling all of our boxes and tubs and

Holy cow the news has so many people just making bad decisions. Dumb rappers, horrible mothers, and someone who just doesn’t care about that warning sign at the zoo. All that aside, I’ve had my hands full juggling home/work/podcast stuff this week, including taking our little Bug to Kindergarten orientation. We went to see “Welcome To Night Vale” live last week, and as such, this week’s featured podcast is their commentary show, “Good Morning Night Vale.”Subscribe to ODO athttp://odddadoutpodcast.com/subscribeJoin the Twisted World of The Odd Dad Out grouphttps://www.facebook.com/groups/odddadoutFollow Along on Social athttps://www.twitter.com/odddadout/https://www.facebook.com/odddadout/https://www.instagram.com/odddadout/ Hosted on Acast.

It has been a hectic couple of weeks around the "Odd" house. Between getting sick (again) and crazy weather, I have gotten behind on some housework. Of course, the boys aren't about to stop adding more to that list of headaches. On top of that, I've got a full load of "BS From the News" ranging from fake kidnappings to questionable drug testing.Promos:2019 Sunshine Summithttp://Sunshinesummit.liveThe Dirty Bits Podcasthttp://tawnyvoice.com/dirtybitsAfterburn 739http://afterburn739.com/Subscribe to ODO athttp://odddadoutpodcast.com/subscribeJoin the Twisted World of The Odd Dad Out grouphttps://www.facebook.com/groups/odddadoutFollow Along on Social athttps://www.twitter.com/odddadout/https://www.facebook.com/odddadout/https://www.instagram.com/odddadout/ Hosted on Acast.

It's Guest of the Month time! For February, here to talk about the March 2019 Sunshine Summit, I've got Heather Welch from "Sunshine and Powercuts." This time around there is a much wider variety of guests. We go in to some of the familiar returning faces, and learn a little about all of the new guests that you may not have heard of before. And of course I throw us off course, but we bring it all together in the end. http://Sunshinesummit.livehttp://SunshineandPowercuts.comSubscribe to ODO athttp://odddadoutpodcast.com/subscribeJoin the Twisted World of The Odd Dad Out grouphttps://www.facebook.com/groups/odddadoutFollow Along on Social athttps://www.twitter.com/odddadout/https://www.facebook.com/odddadout/https://www.instagram.com/odddadout/ Hosted on Acast.

Just when I think I’ve escaped the most addictive candy based mobile game in history, my wife just has to pull me back in. But that’s not all. I’ve also got a few words to say about Peeps as well. In the news I have an ironic fire and another repeat offender. It’s the return of Martina Big in the Jackass of the Week. Finally, after what has got to be the longest wait of any planned feature, this week I am talking all about “The Dirty Bits Podcast.”Curse You Candy Crush!You all remember Candy Crush, right? That highly addictive mobile game where you have to match up little candies and other such stuff. Recently I discovered that my wife still plays it. This would be perfectly fine if she hadn’t gotten stuck on a level and asked me to help her through it. Now my dumb ass has gone and downloaded it to my phone because, like I said, highly addictive.And Then There Were The PeepsWhen I was a kid, Peeps came in 2 flavors: yellow and pink. And guess what, they both just tasted like sugar coated marshmallows. That’s

Man! When it rains, it pours. In this case, I’m flooded with new opportunities in voice acting for podcasts. Of course, that wont keep me from bitching about douchebag grooms and pre-infected tissues. And I swear I featured this show before, but I can’t remember when. I’m talking about “Poplar Cove.”I’ve got Voice Acting Work!I have talked about my side business as a podcast editor and my aspirations as a voice actor in the past. I’ve even voiced some parts for a few other podcasts. Well, in the last couple days I have managed to get parts in 2 different audio drama podcasts.Tuesday morning I responded to a facebook post looking for actors for a new audio drama podcast that is getting started. To my glee, I was picked to be a part of the show, and, at least in this first episode, I’m actually playing the lead. No pressure.Later that night, Jocelyn Devore, creator of Poplar Cove, announced that she was beginning work on season 2 of the podcast (after waaaay too long) and is looking for voice actors. Now I have

Soooo what had happened was… I was sick and was coughing a lot and choked on a piece of popcorn and I cracked my ribs. But there’s still a couple jackasses to make fun of and a couple of badass women to talk about for this week’s Recommended Listening feature, The Wayward Podcast.Jackass of the WeekMan Wants to Sue His Parents For Giving Birth To Him Without His ConsentA man in India plans to sue his parents over his birth because he believes that it is wrong to birth a child without that child’s consent. -19 Year-Old Fakes Kidnapping Over $130A South Carolina “man” was arrested on blackmailing charges after he faked his own kidnapping in order to extort $130 from his mother.

It's time for January's guest of the month, and starting the year off is Chris Osborne from "Play Comics" and the "Meddling Kids" podcasts. Of course we talk about Chris' shows, and because I can't keep my brain on straight we go off into an assortment of tangents. We get into podcasting and the issues with reaching out to guests, and Chris shares his pick for Recommended Listening, "Chrises On Infinite Earths."Chris Osborne is the host of "Play Comics" and "Meddling Kids." He lives in South Carolina, if you want to stalk him. He went to culinary school, and like me, doesn't use those skills professionally. He's both a videogame and comic enthusiast, but will not ever claim to be an expert. He is married to Kayleigh, who is also his co-host on "Meddling Kids," so ladies back off. She will cut you.I met Chris through one of the many podcasting groups on Facebook that we have in common. I tended to like and comment on many of his episode posts as he talks about comics and videogames, and I'm kind of a nerd and

I’ve been sick. That’s about it. Long story short, I had a wicked cough last week that was kicking my ass and I just didn’t have the energy to record. Fast forward to this Tuesday and I wake up with a very familiar pain. My bronchitis had flared up and I could hardly get out of bed. And I get around to the news I promised last week.Bronchitis Is A BitchSo, I spent about 15 years as a restaurant manager. In that time I ingested more than my fair share of smoke, grease, and toxic cleaning vapors. The side effect of that was that it jacked up my lungs and I began suffering from regular bouts with bronchitis. I’ve been out of that industry for nearly 5 years now, but the damage has been done. Every year, usually in the winter, I get a flare up. Technically I made it through 2018 without one, but it’s barely 3 weeks in to 2019 and here we are.Fortunately after having dealt with this for so many years, I know the signs of a real flare up and I know which treatments work on me and which ones don’t. I have had just a

I'm rewinding a bit to talk about my birthday, and more accurately the gifts I got for my birthday and Yule. In Recommended Listening I'm doing another little rewind to the other show from previous guest, Derek, from the Sometimes Geek podcast. with Rolling Misadventures. Finally in the Jackass of the Week, I've got a guy who lied about his age so bad, I don't know what's worse, him or the people who fell for it.-Goodbye Perry JohnsonOn January 2, 2019, Perry Johnson passed away after an 8 month battle with cancer. Perry was a loving husband, father, and friend to so many and was nothing but a ray of light, even when things looked dark. He was a dear friend to so many in the podcasting world, and I only wish that i could have gotten to know him better and meet him personally. Goodbye Perry.
