Episode 426 What Happened to My Dreams?

Episode 428 The Last Time I...

Have you ever done something for the last time without realizing it? In this reflective and deeply personal episode, I explore 45 moments from my life by asking a simple question: When was the last time I...? From childhood memories and major life milestones to the life-changing impact of my stroke, each question becomes a journey through the moments that shaped who I am today. Some answers are funny. Some are nostalgic. Some are surprisingly emotional. Together, they serve as a reminder that life rarely tells us when we're experiencing something for the final time. Join me as I look back, share stories, and reflect on the importance of appreciating the moments we're living right now—because we never know which one might be the last. #TheStonedGenius #TheStonedGeniusPodcast #StrokeRecovery #LifeLessons #Reflection #PersonalGrowth #TheLastTimeI #NewBeginnings #Gratitude #Resilience

Episode 427 Shawn Wickens Getting Double Stuf

On this episode of The Stoned Genius Podcast, Ro is joined by New York City-based comedian Shawn Wickens, author of Time Travel Blueprints (available on Amazon) and host of the worldwide Secret Time Travel Meetings. What starts as a simple conversation about Double Stuf Oreos quickly spirals into a discussion that only these two could have. Along the way, they tackle important questions such as: Are Double Stuf Oreos actually better? What exactly was in Al Capone's Vault? And how does a guy who hosts secret time travel meetings end up debating sandwich cookies on a podcast? No major mysteries are solved, no time machines are built, and Al Capone remains mostly unavailable for comment, but there's plenty of laughter and more than a few unexpected detours along the way. So grab a snack, twist apart your Oreos however you see fit, and join Ro and Shawn for an episode that's equal parts comedy, curiosity, and complete nonsense. Often Stoned. Always a Genius.

Episode 426 What Happened to My Dreams?

Despite the title, I never actually get around to talking about my dreams. Instead, I take a winding detour through friendships, tall people, CVS Specialty Pharmacy, and the strange world of Celebrity Jeopardy. Along the way, I develop brand-new conspiracy theories involving COVID vaccines and library cards, question why dogs insist on drinking water outside when there's perfectly good water indoors, and somehow manage to solve absolutely none of life's great mysteries. No conclusions. No breakthroughs. Just a fun, unpredictable ride through whatever happened to be rattling around in my brain that day. As always, we're often stoned, always a genius.

Episode 425 New Beginnings

Episode 425 — New Beginnings After 424 episodes, countless late-night conversations, and one life-changing stroke, Ro returns behind the microphone with a brand-new direction for The Stoned Genius Podcast. In this deeply personal late-night radio-style episode, Ro reflects on: * Rebuilding the show after the stroke * Why “The Tennis Gals and Me” became one of the most beloved episodes ever * The difference between noise and real conversation * The return to midnight releases * The future of The Stoned Genius * and why authenticity matters more than perfection Recorded on the brand-new RØDECaster Duo, Episode 425 marks the beginning of a new era for TSG: slower, smarter, more intentional, and more focused on genuine long-form conversation. This isn’t just another episode. It’s a reset. Welcome to the next chapter of The Stoned Genius Podcast. Often Stoned. Always a Genius.

Episode 424 So Many Topics
