In this 14th consecutive solo episode, I start with the “SNL 50th Anniversary Special.” They rolled out classic skits that “didn’t age well,” according to Tom Hanks. But let’s be real—those were the best skits of all-time—back when Saturday Night Live was funny and we could make fun of each other. Then “wokeism” turned every
Arguing with Idiots, Salary Negotiations & “Retarted” Returns
In this 13th straight solo episode, you’ll find that I’m highly opinionated. I get into human nature and how it shapes the crazy political landscape we’re in right now. I talk about my fascination with the little details in life—how watching ants go about their business or admiring the brushstrokes of an impressionist painting can
Trump’s Inauguration, Negotiate Like a Genius, White Dudes for Harris
In this 12th consecutive solo episode, I talk about what’s happening in our great nation right now—the Inauguration of Donald Trump as President of the United States. I discuss what his presidency means for the country moving forward. I also talk on the topic of human nature and share my thoughts on the two genders
Bourbon Street Terror Attack, Why DEI Must DIE, My Top 5 Songs of 2024
Happy New Year! In this 11th solo episode (and first of 2025), I dive into heavy topics that hit close to home. For example, I discuss the recent Bourbon Street terror attack in New Orleans. The tragedy of it is particularly unsettling since I’ve been there at 3am more than once. And watching the horrific
Male Vanity, More Propaganda, All-Inclusive Vacations
In this 9th solo episode, I talk about why we’re in Mexico. Two main reasons: I wanted to give the wife a break; I had another medical procedure done. After the misery of recovering from previous procedures, I figured if I had to go through it again, I’d rather recover on a beach in Cancun
Thailand Ladyboys, The Tupac Effect, ESPN’s Ryan Clark
In this 8th solo episode, I talk about a few topics surrounding former NFL star Ryan Clark, including how the media spun his Westbank upbringing into a rags-to-riches story. As someone who grew up around him, I knew better. My brother ran into Clark at the airport, and they started chatting about the epic basketball
Thoughts on 2024 Election, Memory Palace Coup, Communist Vietnam
Back for solo episode 7. I dive into techniques on how to improve your memory—sharing tips that have helped me to remember names and lists. I also give my take on the recent election, with a bit of humor and a bot of speculation. Plus, there’s a story from my trip to Vietnam, where I
Baseball Cards & Heroin for Kids
Back for consecutive solo episode 6 from New Orleans. I share some of what I learned from a mind-blowing book I just finished—Blitzed by Norman Ohler. It’s a fascinating look at how the rise of modern societies is as intertwined with the drug trade as much as technological advances. I had no idea until now—but
Trump/Pocahontas, Why Nice Guys Finish Last, Investing for the Future
Back in H-town. In this 5th consecutive solo episode, I continue the discussion on money & investing. But first—I share feedback on the recent blog article: “Why Nice Guys Finish Last: An Open Letter to Men.” (Mens’ responses were positive; womens’ mixed.) I also explore investment strategies for high net worth individuals, thoughts on IPOs,
Thoughts on Diddy, Tipping Culture Gone Wild, Teaching My Kid About Money
Still in Prague. In this 4th consecutive solo episode, I dive into the P Diddy controversy and share what I believe is going on right now. Although I’ve been a rap enthusiast most of my life, I’ve never been a fan of the Diddler. Nope. I liked Mase. I also talk about spending money on
Prague Castle, Lil Wayne, New Orleans
3rd solo episode from Europe. I tell tales from Central Europe and a childhood story that contributed to us being here. I discuss “why Prague?” and share a brief history of Czechoslovakia. Crazy to see how much has changed since my first time here in 2015. If present-day Prague interests you, I’ll share tips for
