ODO 47: Podcasting as a Dad

January 31, 2017 01:16 - 55 minutes

Congratulations to Daniel J. Lewis from "The Audacity to Podcast" on the birth of his first son, "Noodle Baby." The birth of "Noodle Baby" inspired me to talk about the idea of how having kids kills your podcast. Of course I can't keep to the topic at hand and go on talking about general Dadness. I love being a dad, and I love being a podcaster, but those things do in fact butt heads at times. I have missed many weeks on this show due to family life, but that is part of the trade off of wea...

ODO 46: Nerding Out And Super Moms

January 23, 2017 22:51 - 1 hour

This week I've got a story about a mom who built her entire family home by hand using YouTube. I'll cover some fun entertainment news, and in "Recommended Listening" I'll probably spend more time talking about this week's show than it takes to listen to it.

She helps out with BS From the News, and nags at me while I talk about the "Epic Film Guys" in Recommended Listening.

ODO 44 King of Queens

January 09, 2017 22:54 - 45 minutes

Hello 2017! For this week's recommended listening I've got a double shot from the "King of Queens" RuPaul. In "BS From the News" I've got an epic case of the silent treatment, an epic prank, and a pair of really dumb criminals. (As if there's any other kind.) Plus I wrap things up with a rant about the phrase "drive it like you stole it." Subscribe to the show on iTunes Talk Back to the Odd Dad Out on Facebook Follow @OddDadOut on Twitter Hosted on Acast.

ODO 43: Adios 2016

December 30, 2016 21:05 - 1 hour

So Long 2016! This week I'm looking back on "The Year of No Survivors" and running through some of the MANY celebrities lost this year. Of course I'll make fun of some weird news stories, and in "Recommended Listening" I'm featuring my old pal the NewMan. Then I take a look back at this show and how things have changed over the last year and what I'd like to do in 2017.

This week news broke that Amy Schumer is in talks to lead a Barbie movie. I can't get behind this, but not for the reason you might think.

And in the the "Jackass of the Week" I have a word or two about being a responsible smoker.

ODO 41: Getting Back to Chatting

November 30, 2016 23:59 - 32 minutes

Recently the show has taken a wide turn from where it originally began. This week I bring things back with a good old fashioned chatting train of thought. I talk about why I took a break for a few weeks, some thoughts on the recent Presidential election, and some podcasts I've gotten into recently. Thanks to Mark from "What's Happening with the NewMan" and Matt from "PreRecorded Live" for really just being my friends and not letting me walk away from the show when I get a bit frazzled. http...

ODO 37: The Price of Fame

October 07, 2016 21:41 - 1 hour

Back in old form, this week is just a good old fashioned stream of consciousness type discussion about fame and how the media covers BS stories simply for ratings. Of course that opens up a whole big can of worms running from the Kardashians to Donald Trump. Throw in some surprising words of wisdom courtesy of a recent Nerdist interview with Sarah Jessica Parker, and we've got a nice train of thought. Believe it or not, I even manage to tie it all in with the creepy clown epidemic, because I...

Not So Big an A-Hole: ODO 36

September 20, 2016 21:08 - 41 minutes

For most all of my post-high school life I have been said to be kind of an a**hole. To a degree it's been almost a point of pride. Now that I'm older I'm starting to wonder if it's more "kind of" and less "a**hole."

Putting the Labor in Labor Day: ODO 35

September 09, 2016 23:31 - 33 minutes

This week was Labor Day in the US. I mention it being in the US because apparently I'm actually more popular overseas than I am at home. Just kidding, I'm not popular anywhere. But anyway, it was Labor day on Monday, a day where we honor the blue collar working man by giving all the white collar guys the day off.

Remembering Gene Wilder: ODO 34

September 03, 2016 23:27 - 36 minutes

What's the deal 2016!? Stop killing our legends! I know I'm not the first to say it, but this has become the year the legends died. The loss of Gene Wilder this week just pushes that point home. Unless you've been living under a rock for the last week, you've probably heard that, legendary comic actor, Gene Wilder passed away this week. Of course, when an artist of his caliber passes away, the world collectively mourns. I've mentioned before that I am a very sensitive person. I realize ...

The Magic School Bus: ODO 33

August 26, 2016 22:10 - 41 minutes

After weeks of trying to get a new episode recorded, I'm finally back. School is back as well and I've got a bone to pick with the people on the road.

The Unconventional Conventionist: ODO 31

July 27, 2016 22:49 - 26 minutes

It's been a year since I started making this podcast so I started looking back at how much I've grown in the past year. Then I yak about just how dumb political conventions are.

I have learned that work trips are a great way to observe general human stupidity in action. Plus the 400 lb app in the room, we're talking Pokemon Go.

Iguanas and Black Bears and Does, Oh My! -ODO 28

June 22, 2016 16:16 - 33 minutes

(Sorry about the digital hiccups, didn't catch it until playback) I swear I'm not sick all the time! This week I take the show in a new direction (again) and get back to the comedy foundation this show was intended to have. To that end I have opted to seek out strange news stories to pick on and ridicule for your amusement. Completely unintentionally, I have fallen into an animal theme this week. I've got courtroom iguanas, bears in marathons, and a killer deer. Of course none of this ...

Lessons From the Road: ODO 27/ MDC 10

June 14, 2016 19:53 - 1 hour

Crossover Show!! This week we are knocking out two birds with one stone. This week I'm sharing Episode 10 of the "Mom and Dad Cuss" podcast which I share with my wife. Since both shows were going to discuss our recent vacation, I figured why record separate shows at all? We are back from our annual vacation to Texas. After executing what we feel has been our most successful vacation to date, we decided to share some of our road stories and tips for surviving the experience. This year we dro...

BS From the News- George Zimmerman, has decided to put the gun he used to shoot Trayvon Martin up for auction.

May 07, 2016 06:50 - 39 minutes

Back from my break to move into our new house. We aren't totally settled in yet but we are at least in the new house.

April 14, 2016 21:57 - 1 hour

It's a fun night with family. This week I am joined by my wife ReAnna, oldest sister MG (Raevyn Lunatic), her husband Derek (Rev. Knuckleface), and her son Glenn (Fabulous the 2nd.) For the occasion we cracked open a bottle of "God's Pillow" from the "Clockwork Chemists", and Angry Orchard "Iceman." By the nature of our family, we just start talking about whatever comes to mind. Just because we have so much fun hanging out we went on for-ev-er... Topics ranged from our grandparents deaths t...

*Update: This is a corrected version of this episode. My sincerest apologies. Thank you to Andrew on Facebook for pointing out that the original episode cut off and restarted mid way * I'm getting a little "Meta" this week. (Is that how you use that?) This week I'm taking on podcasting as a virus / addiction. I go from initial infection of the podcasting bug, to infecting others, to growing into the podcaster strain and replicating it and spreading to even more people. Whether you're just co...

March 30, 2016 15:00 - 38 minutes

I'm just gonna say it, I suck at social Media. This week I explain my love/hate... mostly hate relationship with social media. From Myspace to Snapchat and everything in between, I am a millennial failure. I am also quite aware of the hypocrisy of sharing this podcast about hating social media to ALL my social media platforms. But hey, I have to spread the word somehow.

March 02, 2016 07:00 - 42 minutes

Automobile Rage I'm back after a week off to deal with a severe case of "fucking tired" combined with a hint of "don't know what to talk about" to bring you this week's rant about cars. Specifically I'm talking about the stupidity of the "tuner" culture and the compulsion to "supe up" your car. No history lesson this week, just a plain old school Odd Dad Out bitching.

After all you don't have to care about the teams to appreciate the event. There is always plenty to enjoy and ridicule besides the football game anyway.

This week I'm solo again. For the most part I just get on a revolving door of what I do all this for. I really do love making this show and appreciate everybody who listens. I don't care if I get famous or popular, just knowing that anyone out there willingly invites my thoughts into their sound space is rewarding enough. Also don't be an asshole... Hosted on Acast.

January 15, 2016 07:00 - 32 minutes

Tonight I planned to talk about harvesting oranges, the craziness of the weather this winter, and the full blown force of El Niño. Fortunately I did NOT spend 30 minutes talking about the weather and got sidetracked into complaining about HOA's. I also realize that I am terrible at perceiving the basic passage of time, or my age, or whatever age I'm supposed to be. • It's winter time. That means harvesting season for the citrus in Arizona.
