Dumber Every Day

Third time’s the charm I suppose. Hopefully this one sticks, because I’m running out of fun ways to bring you mob up to speed on the hip hop happenings of my life. We talk dating, how my approach to it is not working, and how I don’t like what the solution seems to be. A peek into some work drama, and some silly voices to boot.

Alright you mob, round 2 for episode 49. An explanation of what happened is in the episode, listen at your discretion. Quick little life update just to get you mob caught up, and then we dive into the meat and potatoes of the episode, how my damage and bad habits learned from past relationships affect something new. As well, we dig into an interesting dilemma I’ve been going through; putting away the person I became to survive now that the war is over. Probably less interesting to y’all than it is to me, but I hope you enjoy nonetheless. The podcast is currently in a Schroedinger like state, neither dead or alive. I’m almost convinced it’s a curse or bad luck, but we’ll see how life plays out moving forward. Enjoy!

Be prepared, this episode is rough as guts. I tried and failed to keep my cool recording this. Hands down the most vulnerable thing I’ve ever posted, I’m questioning my sanity even as I’m writing this description. Back from an unintended hiatus with a 50 minute explanation as to why, what’s been going on, what I’ve been going through, and everything in between. This episode personifies ‘if you know me, no you fuckin don’t’. I don’t know that anyone will enjoy this one, but it’s a rare real look into my head, as well as something I think most men have gone through. You’ve been forewarned.

After a nice hiatus, I emerge from my goblin hole with a new episode! Shockingly personal one, with updates on how the month off went, and all the new happenings in my life. Friends cut out, realizations had, new adventures embarked on, it’s all kinds of fun! I’ve missed you mongrels terribly and hopefully this episode is an acceptable apology for leaving y’all.

Let’s revisit the topic of tarot, with an updated theory from Scotty on who all these collective readings could be about! The answer may surprise you, it definitely wasn’t what I was expecting. A quick life/work update, an internal dialogue about belief when everyone around you says otherwise, and a less than fun announcement at the end to round out this episode. Bit of a short one but it’s all I had in the tank. Enjoy! Editors note: When I say I have faith in this episode, that doesn’t mean I’m just sitting at home, twiddling my thumbs, waiting for something to happen. It means exactly what I said, I have faith, and in the meantime I’ll just carry on living my life and trying to improve. Have a question, comment, concern, or criticism?

Spooky happenings suddenly began happening! Definitely an episode way out of our normal wheelhouse, so much so that I felt the need to put a warning at the front of the episode. We explore new age mysticism, specifically tarot card readings, and how it’s all to easy to buy into and believe due to confirmation bias and hearing what you want. What does it mean for what little Christian faith I have left if I’m willing to entertain tarot as something more than just odd juju? What does it say about my priorities? Who even am I anymore? That last one may or may not be a joke. It’s an odd episode, and I hope you mob enjoy it! Cuddle up and dig in Have a question, comment, concern, or criticism?

Two episodes in one week? What is this, a podcast for ants?! Bit of a rambling mess on this one, just sat down with a few general ideas in my head and shot my mouth off for a bit. We continue to explore root causes for the creative slump, the problems with dating, and a fun little update about my mother (editors note: fun is a relative term and may not apply in this situation). Working hard to get over the creative hump and make more things. If this episode sounds a bit funny, I’m trying a new editing workflow. You’re not crazy, I’m just not an audio engineer.

Decided to take some advice and play to my strengths for this one. The majority of the episode is about plumbing and how to stay invested and motivated in a career after 10 years. Shocking revelation about January (who remembers her?), minor April things because it wouldn’t be an episode if I didn’t talk about her, and some general tomfoolery and a few new sound effects. Feels good to be back and I missed you mob terribly. Like I said in the episode, no real schedule promise or anything, you’ll just get them as they come. If you stick around or have stuck around, many thanks and know I appreciate you.

I’m alive! Despite what you may have thought, and with a delightful 2 week break, I do continue to be a non-corpse. A full explanation is contained within the episode, as well as everyone’s favorite storytelling tools, a plethora of um’s and ah’s and hmmm’s and ha’s. We get you mob caught up on the dating situation, current state of therapy, thoughts on the construction industry, and just a general state of the onion. This episode is somehow both action packed and a boring pile of trash. Did you expect anything less?

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you mob! As the episode title indicates, we are sort of back on the horse. It’s been a minute, turns out being horribly depressed and alone in the house is not conducive to creating podcast content, shock horror. But it’s a new year, which means a new me! Or something along those lines. In this episode we dig into my current state, if the podcast is a help or a hindrance, and what the sadness pit looks like for me. Just catching you mob up on what’s been hip hop happening over the Christmas break, as if my life is that exciting. Barely any April content in this one, aren’t you all just oh so lucky? Hope everyone had a great holiday, welcome back to real life. Find the podcast on YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/@rackham42 Have a question, comment, concern, or criticism?

Well would you look at that, it’s the Hot Mess Express! Shorter episode today, and a day late at that! Tried to script it, tried to brainstorm it, ended up just hitting record and running my mouth. This episode is all about the struggles with the podcast lately and a ton of personal stuff. Definitely a skippable episode if you’re tired of my drama. Enjoy!

Another day, another re recorded episode. Hopefully this isn’t a continuing trend, it’s truly a first world pain in the ass to have to do. Thoughts on how I do the podcast, how it’s shifted, and how it’ll be moving forward. The Frenchman’s antics and how they hurt my feelings make an appearance! New sound effects! And of course, shock horror, just April things. All in all, despite the fact that this was a fully scripted episode, it still became a hot mess express by the end. Dig in and enjoy you mob!

Apparently the new vibe for the podcast is to record an episode, listen back to it, realize the whole thing is entirely too much about April, go back and re-record the whole thing. At least that’s the move for this episode. 🤦🏻 Enjoy as I autistically talk about mic’s and sound gear for a bit too long, try and stick to a script that is about 75% April, all of which had to be cut out, and some bad edits to cut out the gnarly cough that just won’t leave me alone. A special message directly to April, Scotty gets another mention since he unknowingly made a fear dream of mine come true yesterday, and more!

Having discovered how many people from my life listen to the podcast, I decided to go back and listen to the entire show from the start to see what they were learning about me since I can’t expected to keep track of what comes out of my mouth. Having done that, I noticed a few things about the show and a pattern of behavior in myself that I wanted to address. We manage to muddle our way through that for the first 2/3’s of the episode, before getting to the meat and potatoes of the show. I’ll give y’all one guess what that is. Threw out a big old declaration of where I’m at and what I want at the end, not that I think it’ll amount to anything. But I’ve said it, and I meant it, and now it’s a matter of sticking to it. Bit of a weird one, I swear I’ll go back to scripting them so they aren’t all stream of conscious drunk messes like the last few. Dig in and enjoy you mob! Find the podcast on YouTube!

The podcast collides with real life! Turns out posting it everywhere and sending it to people means eventually they’ll come talk to me about it in real life. Shock horror, this action will have consequences. In all seriousness, it’s not that serious. We recap the Christmas party and address some thoughts people had about the podcast. Little bit of April, little bit of January, and a special new addition to the show. This episode has the distinction of being the first one I had to fully re-record because I couldn’t use the first one due to how very personal it was. It’s a week of first for the show!

Continuing on from 35, I had a few more thoughts about a few more things. A fun discovery about The Frenchman, discussions about why this “crisis” could not have come at a worse time, and just general life updates and running my mouth about silly work drama. Really a return to the early days, no thought, no ideas, no script, just a man and his mic. Hopefully you mob enjoy!

Welcome to sad boy hours, once again. We get up close and personal with all the fun things I’m struggling with lately, and dig into the 3 main culprits. This episode has the honor(?) of being the first one I had to completely re-record because the first take was unusable with how drunk I was. Welcome to the world episode 35. As evidenced from the title, it’s all about how I’m being pulled in 3 directions and at this point something has to give. What may shock you mob is that this episode is rated A for April, as we have a return to the early days of the podcast and she plays a big part in this episode. Apologies if that’s not your jam but it’s my podcast and I’ll talk about what I want. Other mentions include Karl, past love interests, and a light touch on faith struggles. All in all not a bad way to spend an hour, especially if my problems make you feel better about yours. So crack a grog and dig in you mob! Did you know the podcast has an email?

In light of the horrendously depressing and/or serious content of the last few episodes, I figured we’d have a return to form for this episode. Sat down with no script and no thought in my head and just hit record. Can you believe it went about as well as you’re thinking? Yet again, being into the piss while recording proves to be my undoing as I fall down every conversational rabbit hole while trying and failing to stay on topic. More thoughts on dating and what’s holding me back, an update on all things work related and the drama that comes with working on a construction site, and more I’m sure. I can’t remember all that was said in this episode and I haven’t fully reviewed it. Guess we’ll find out together what was said! Sit back and enjoy the mess you mob!

Continuing the serious trend from the previous episode, we dig into what is causing my dating life to fail (it’s me), why I keep repeating the same patterns, the problem that keeps rearing its head, and much more. Karl’s advice comes up and unsurprisingly goes unheeded. All brought to you via the Rodecaster Duo.

Whelp y’all, a departure from our normally scheduled content, this one is a bit of a downer. An update on Autumn and all that’s happened there since episode 27. This episode does not paint me in a good light, nor should it. Not much to add, it’s a rough listen. Strap in and, if not enjoy, at least learn from my mistakes.
