Everybody says you shouldn't try to be funny. I think that's backwards.

Funny is a skill. It's a pattern recognition, timing, and practice; the same way a kid turns clumsy piano notes into Flight of the Bumblebee. Comedians know this. They watch the same bit a hundred times, taking notes on word choice, delivery, and structure. They train mental flexibility through improv until seeing unexpected connections becomes reflex.

I talk about how improv rewires the way you think, why natural talent can quietly trap you in mediocrity, and what happens when you start observing humor like a craft instead of waiting for inspiration. The mechanics are learnable. The patterns are visible. And once you see them, you can train them.

And, fair warning-- somewhere in the middle of all this, I'm going to put a monkey in a tutu with a lollipop and a helicopter hat into your mind. You didn't ask for it, but your brain just made it happen anyway.

That's part of the trick.

This started as a joke and turned into a live-thought experment: why does "infinite universes" feel reasonable to some people, but "God" feels impossible? I talk atheism, religion, science-as-religion, suffering, free will, and the weird discomfort humans have with being observed. It's quite the spiral~

A 3am archive recording from a night when I wasn't sure I'd wake up. Death, control, discipline and why "change" requires receipts. Quantify everything.

Tuning forks. Water Crystals. Bargaining with God. And a little too much honesty.

Raw. Late. Real.

Recorded on: 20 August, 2020

I sit town and improvise a podcast episode, gleaning inspiration from the sticky notes I used to stick at my workstation as important concepts/quotes/information to remember.

While I was still finding my voice, I truly can't believe I let myself keep this in my pocket for so long... I'm truly proud of this one, and I hope you enjoy~

I hope you enjoy going on this particular dog walk journey with me as I entertain myself with things, I find funny.

This recording was made on May 18th. Two months into COVID-- the general public still didn't know hardly anything about this at the time. I was feeling a lot the night I recorded this... still very raw, still very unrefined as a person... I learned at a very early age that death may come for any one of us at any minute-- this was my message to be found by the world in case by some catastrophe I did die.

This was recorded on 18 February 2026 C. E.

This particular podcast episode was recorded on May 2, 2020. We were two months into COVID and none of us knew what was going on. Tensions were high... on my end of things I was struggling with the new work-from-home workflow and I was making mistakes. I made a few mistakes and then one "big" mistake to where my superior and mentor got incredibly upset that I made a mistake to a client as big as McDonalds (one of the essential businesses.... or at least clients of ours that was still spending money). We didn't want them to not come to us because of a mistake because they were technically our "lifeline" so-to-speak.

Anywho, my very own mentor being upset with me... someone who knows me I thought so well, telling me, "you're not thinking" triggered me. At first this triggered me and made me upset (prior to recording the audio). So much so that I went to our CEO for help... but then I realized, after shaking the CEO's tree that I probably shouldn't have done that because he has bigger fish to fry than this... and then I thought about how our meeting might go and realized that he was going to ask me about the situation and what I had done to prevent it before it happened, or if I had any thoughts on how to fix it going forward... it was in this moment that I had the sudden realization that, while I consider my teacher/mentor an asshole for doing it in the way he did it (still even to this day he could have handled it better as a man twice my age an experience).... I did realize in the end that he was right, and that I wasn't thinking... except I was, I just realized that I was thinking incorrectly and/or not to the level I needed to be for work or for life.... and thus this voice diary was born.

I hope everyone can forgive past me, I have, and so has God and I'm definitely not the same person I was 6 years ago... (and at the time of COVID I consider myself being born a new person in my last apartment's basement [this recording was in my new apartment after the basement one]) but if anyone else still needs me to repent, please let me know and I will take care of it immediately.
