    Stuff Dean Says #9
    May 1 2026
    Talking with Tom! (An interview with my son Tom...)
    PLUG! Tom and Kaixin’s business “Pro Detailing Guys” on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/prodetailingguys/

    I now have SpeakPipe! SpeakPipe allows podcast listeners to send voice messages (like old-school voicemail!) without downloading anything, it’s not an app, and it’s free. It’s easiest to find my SpeakPipe here: https://www.speakpipe.com/msg/s/474766/1/41sl569ilf2stcaa So in the spirit of “pirate radio” you call-in and record a message or a question, which I could possibly use or answer in the next recording. Just make sure it’s as boring and dull as possible.

    Speaking of our website, our ONE project will be taking submissions in June! We are looking for a Horror short story between 2 and 4 thousand words. Go to picpublishing.ca and click on ONE and the submissions link will have all the details. I hope to see something from you soon! https://www.picpublishing.ca/onesubs.html

    I will have a painting in the Members Exhibit at the Button Factory Art Gallery in Waterloo, from Saturday, May 9th - Friday, June 19th.

    I have been making regular appearances at the monthly Waterloo Public Library Open Mic Poetry Nights, and the occasional open mics at other locations as I come across them - I’ve been really having fun with those.

    Expletives will be used from here on out in Stuff Dean Says
    Gloves come off! LOL! It's also Halloween Season, so check out "The Net" by Nick Mamatas on the ONE link at picpublishing.ca, and look for my book The Starving Queen, a monster story for the season!

    In the basement studio now, I chat about how September's been going in my new "retired" life, and some odd and unexpected negativity that's come my way. But also good news about keeping up with a healthy gym/eat/sleep lifestyle, within what my hands can do. We had our 30th Anniversary, I talk about some writing, art and the KWSA, and new from this black thumb, omg ...PLANTS? LOL!

    I've added one more "What I hear vs..." at the Sarah McLachlan concert, and a short kiddos update.

    And, if you wanna throw me a pocket of change for my troubles, here's my Ko-Fi link: http://ko-fi.com/stuffdeansays

    Today I yammer on about ALL THE THINGS we have coming out!
    Our ONE project - the ONE short story you should read called "The Net" by Nick Mamatas up now and all year at picpublishing.ca
    The book KATRINA: AFTER 20 (available June 13)
    The book PAIN MACHINE (June or July)
    The Anthology DARK CANADIANA (July 1st)
    The song "Me and Vincent Price" in the upcoming documentary about the show Hilarious House of Frightenstein from when we were kids (this summer) *Apologies for saying the name of the show incorrectly! I was very short on sleep!*

    And... I'm retiring.

    I didn't mention it in the podcast this time, but as always you can throw me a buck or two if you're enjoying any of this...

    **Adult content - 18+ only please**
    That's right, kiddos! This spicy edition of Stuff Dean Says features a guest! Ipso facto, it's not boring and dull chit chat this time!

    Allow me to introduce my friend Mike, and I'm so happy I got the chance to sit with him and ask all about Beatniks and Hippies. He's a great speaker, and I got to feel young again. Give it a listen, and plug-in to a very interesting time in history.

    This episode is dedicated to (click names for links):
    Weston Ochse
    James A. Moore
    Ray Garton

    In this episode I joke a little about my memory problems, and I speak more seriously about productivity and self-worth. Not to leave it all so serious, I add a story about my lack of childhood safety in general in the 70s/80s, as well as my head-meets-boulder concussion. LOL!
