Madhouse Mondays: You Big Dumb Idiot

After producing the show for over three months, I was finally a guest on You Big Dumb Idiot as an expert on hip-hop. I had a blast (as expected) but really felt the heat during the games portion. Thanks to Andrew and Lindsey for listening to me babble. 

Real Talk Tuesdays: You Big Dumb Idiot

My wife and her buddy Andrew Schiver have launched a brand new podcast called You Big Dumb Idiot. The idea is to have a special guest each week and discuss topics that the well-meaning hosts are not well versed in. Two episodes in and I'm already giving this thing my endorsement. Full disclosure, I wrote the theme song but did so without hearing any of it first. Throw this on - it'll brighten your morning.
