Diaries of a Pretender

It's all yellow today because that's the vibe but also because that's the color of all the food on the Thanksgiving dinner plate in the South. Discussing cultural differences in the holiday celebrations across different parts of America, as well as the age-old question: why do people walk into a movie halfway through and sit down like that's normal? Also talking about Taylor Swift's album re-release and the angry comments it spurred from some people online, my heartbreak over the Julius Jones and Kyle Rittenhouse cases, and a movie of the week that inspires empathy.

Inspired by a fan mail, I'm recounting my all-time favorite memory of horrific turbulence on a flight. I'm also discussing the turbulent aftermath of going public with a big story in the press. Also touching on the worst Macbook ever made—the 2017 edition which saw Apple remove all the ports for no discernible reason—which I happen to own.

Today I'm talking about my recent trip to Texas which was...full of surprises, a mystery at my local CBD store, some strange synchronistic events, and the new Spike Lee documentary. Also discussed: the strangeness of the internet and how I posted a funny cat video while uncontrollably sobbing. As always, I have a (Texas-themed) movie and alcohol-free drink recommendation for you.

The Jeopardy guy got fired for using pejorative terms against females 10 years ago. And South Park—after 23 seasons of outrageous insults and slurs against just about everyone—just won a $900 million deal for streaming. Does it make sense? Not really.

Also discussed: my virtual callback for a national commercial, going to the movies to see The Green Knight and Old, and not celebrating my birthday this year because what would I even do?

As always, I have an AF drink and a movie of the week for you.

Is living life on your own terms the ultimate freedom, even if it means you never achieve conventional markers of success like money and recognition? A question for artists, especially timely when considered alongside the newest statistics on rent prices in America. Also discussed: are we supposed to have "plans" again already? Because I don't.

Have you ever wanted to find a creative partner, bandmate, or a business partner but didn't know where to look? Well, you could always try a dating app. On this episode, my partner Christian Wallace and I are discussing the story of how we met, how we started working together, and exchanging stories of times we ended up on the cutting room floor when working as actors. I'm also giving updates on all the cool new stuff I've been working on and, of course, a drink and movie of the week for you.

George Van Tassel built the Integratron in the 1950s. It was a dome-shaped building situated in the desert that was meant to bestow immortality upon the humans who entered it. It was never completed, as Van Tassel died suddenly when the structure was at 90% completion. Before he died, he said aliens had beamed him into a spaceship and told him he had to build it. Am I a ufologist now? Maybe.

I'm also discussing some thoughts about positivity and the law of attraction, spurred by someone trying vigorously to sell me a life insurance policy. Also discussed: can you watch disturbing, gory horror films and listen to angry music while remaining a positive and happy person?

As always, I'm giving a tasty alcohol-free drink recommendation and a movie of the week.
