From The Nook Podcast

Everybody sometimes should take a little personal inventory, a self-checkout so to speak. We all make mistakes right? Yes we do. I made one last week. Life is full of drama, and not the petty middle school drama built from the ashes of an afternoon dance. This drama is the real thing and you better get used to it.

In this episode: ep55: Self-Check out

  • Fixing my mistakes
  • Can that topic be funny?
  • Self-Check outs
  • Middle School dance drama

From The Nook Podcast

Like I promised, In an earlier episodes I explained that I would be starting a new series on From The Nook and tonight is its debut. Tonight I rekindle an old love affair with a local Portland radio personality and great friend, Marconi.  Some of you may remember Marconi from his afternoon radio show with Tiny on NRK 94.7. Some may remember him from when he took over the afternoon radio waves over at K.G.O.N. with Kristine Levine and Big Jim. I remember him because after getting an opportunity to open up for Doug Stanhope.  Marconi gave me a chance to come on his radio show, build a fan base and create a lasting relationship that still is strong today.  Now Marconi is taking to my podcast and giving all of you a more intimate side of himself. It was honor to have him on.  Thank you sir

In this episode: Ep54: The Confessional Sessions with guest Marconi

  • There’s really no reason for me to be on your show
  • An interview in an interview in an interview
  • Don’t be a basic bitch

Ep53: What it is Like

From The Nook Podcast

In episode 53 I explore the challenges of what it is like to just be alive. Is it a blessing, or is it simply good enough to get to the finish line in one piece? Whether it is a single working woman, a black man with the real obstacles of equality and skin color, or even a small dog, life is tough. The twist is that I explore this in a very untraditional way.  I profile 3 stories in what is a rough draft for a future bigger project I am working on.  It is merely the beginning process, so don’t expect magic right out of the gate. Instead, just enjoy it for what it is

In this episode: Ep53:What it is like

  • Harley the West Highland White Terrier
  • Elizabeth a 36 year old single working woman
  • Hello my name is Terrell

Ep52: Politics as unusual

From The Nook Podcast

There are all types of people who influence us in one way or another.  It is sort of my job to observe them and try to understand them.  In most cases, they are harmless, and in other cases, it doesn’t take long for us to gather enough intelligence to see that they are completely out of their mind. In this episode I talk about a few things I noticed over the weekend.  Like for instance the way people behave in low level politics. Another example of urban farming and the kind of entertainment one should expect at a celebration of life event.

In this episode: Ep52: Politics as unusual

  • Politics as unusual
  • My personal nightmare in urban farming
  • Putting the fun back funerals

Ep51: Area 51

From The Nook Podcast

Area 51 is a mysterious warehouse of memories I decided to forcefully take you, my avid listeners to.  A place you didn’t ask to be taken, but do I care? No, instead, I ignore all social cues and take you on a journey to my past whether you wanted to go or not. I’m not sure why I felt the need to do a” best of” the last 50 episodes. I guess this is how I repay my loyal fans, by making you listen to this crap again.  What I learned was going back and researching what I thought might be better moments in my podcast career, our in fact, terribly awkward clips that should not have ever aired more than once.  Hell, I’m not sure why they aired at all. I hope you enjoy this episode because I’ll never do another “best of” in the future. Lesson learned

In this episode: Ep51: Area 51

  • The errors of my ways
  • Ooh La La, I few good rants
  • Skitty Skitty Sketcher Skits
  • The early days

Ep50: Am I a hack?

From The Nook Podcast

Ep50 was supposed to be an epic milestone of my podcast; I was even going to have it be a best of the last 50.  However, something came up over the last few weeks that needed to be addressed; something truly important to all comedians with any amount of respect and love for the craft. Gabe Dinger, a Portland favorite, a brilliant writer and a comedian I have an unbelievable amount of respect in has a premise and joke in his act that he wrote. I also wrote something very similar. It was never intentional on my part to perform a piece almost word for word, nor was I aware we had the same idea until we discussed it. This episode is a no thrills episode where I sincerely apologize to Gabe and explain the entire story from my perspective. I also decided to take this moment to really discuss the topic of lifting material.  Their is a blurry line between a real comedic thief and when a comedian truly isn’t stealing intentionally and this issue is a sore spot for all of us in the business. Every comedian and lover of comedy should take the time to listen to this very special episode and then keep the dialog going.

In this episode: Ep50: Am I a hack?

  • Crossing the blurry line
  • Pointing fingers and labeling comedians
  • Sincerely, I am sorry

From The Nook Podcast

What I have come to realize is being a full time father takes patience, and every minute of spare time away from living a life of fun. Even sex needs to be kept on the down low now.  However, for brief hour, I had the house to myself-and what did I do with my time?  I fulfilled my obligation to you and recorded episode 49. I have to hand it to you mothers, you keep it together… and me, not so much.

In this episode: Home Alone at Last!

  • Being hired for the head coach decision
  • Puff The Magic Dragon
  • His favorite number

From The Nook Podcast

After finally finishing the live recording and DVD shoot at Star Theater, after hell week promoting the night with Chris Smith and after a year and a half preparing for this one special night, it is over.  Truth Hurts is in post-production, the night is in the past, I am no longer dreaming of what will come of the evening but instead trying to hold onto the memories of the evening.  What now though? I’m left wondering where to focus my energy.  I guess for now it will be resting and taking on a new important role as full time father.  My 13 year old boy has come to live with me and now I have to help create his dream, and I thought I had a lot riding on the DVD recording.  My story is just beginning.

In this episode: From Foot-lights to fatherhood

  • Tired, emotional, that one moment is in the past, so what is next?
  • Psoriasis the Sequel
  • Full time Fatherhood, the role of a lifetime
