#117 - Don't Feed the Fire: A Survival Guide to Office Drama

Hey — if your job feels like a soap opera, I got you. In this episode I share simple, real tactics: don’t chase approval, don’t feed the gossip, defend others when you can, and let your work speak for itself. I also talk about finding the big talkers, keeping secrets, diverting attention to real problems, and doing damage control when you’re targeted. It’s friendly, practical advice to survive the chaos and keep your head (and paycheck) intact.

#116 - Bluetooth Dentures & Other Glorious Absurdities

Expect ridiculous inventions (musical dentures, lie-detector teeth, fart-scent elixirs), car-skin dreams, and a goofy adult-daycare concept — all served casually like we’re chatting over coffee.

#115 - Fasted 34 Hours for a Burger and Tater Tots

Hey—so I did a 34-hour fast and woke up feeling oddly amazing: less inflammation, clearer head, and totally ready to demolish a double cheeseburger with tater tots and a half‑sweet tea. It was half experiment, half motivation. Along the way I rant about Austin drivers, construction vibes, creepy tree-pruning texts, and how being a busy dad kills gym plans. It’s messy, silly, and honest—just me rambling like a friend. If you want a laugh, some real talk, and a weirdly motivating burger plan, this episode’s for you.

#114 - Burnt Peanut is a Recession Flag

Hey — quick check-in like I’m telling a friend: I’ve been glued to this streamer Burnt Peanut as my weird little escape, and honestly his marathon streams feel like a recession signal — when everyone just wants cheap, dumb fun to forget the bills. Groceries shrinking, prices spiking, fast food turning into chemistry projects, and public transit still AWOL — I’m tightening the budget but trying to eat better, leaning on little comforts (and telehealth when needed). If you’re feeling the pinch too, you’re not alone — we’ll laugh about it, adjust, and keep going.

#113 - Counter‑Strike 2: The Hidden Horror Game

Hey friend — welcome back to the Free Idea Podcast. In this episode I’m just rambling: how Counter‑Strike 2 feels like a jump‑scare horror game, why Austin traffic makes me witness a crash every day, and the weird fraud and mental gymnastics popping up in healthcare, gambling, and firearms. It’s messy, funny, and honest — like chatting with a buddy on a long drive. Grab something to drink, lean back, and let’s notice the world together.
