@yourenotmyfather  's first VIDEO Podcast! I've been cranking out audio only podcasts for awhile now so we've made the jump. In this episode I give a preview of what my trip to Puerto Rico was like but some of my favorite content is seeing how other people do everyday things - so in this episode I show you how I travel (some of it at least). I also talk about how much of challenge it is moving to video, opening up to others, and a bit of why I'm doing this. I hope you enjoy and learn something!

What is all the white stuff? Oh it's just Snowmaggedon. Have you any idea what the street value of this mountain of snow is? I talk about the documentary Show Me The Father, getting your chin busted open, and more!

Oh flying and traveling on business - it takes you away from home for awhile to live in a suitcase. But it's worth it - especially if you make the most of it. Oklahoma City and San Diego, Master and Commander, Maritime Museum, La Jolla, and UCSD. Driving on the freeway? Better learn to keep up. Oh and watch out for the traffic drones.

It's October - We present to you an American classic thriller of a poem, the 1845 masterpiece by Edgar Allen Poe that is "The Raven".

Oh snap! Winter is coming - what do we do to prep? What's S.A.D.? How do you deal with that? What is a "chug"? And how do you make it. Answers and more to these burning questions in this episode of YNMF!

What would you buy for life? Or have you already done it and gotten mixed results. Well, let's talk about how "buy it for life" is a lot shorter than you think.

What better way to showcase what we do on this podcast by showing what we DON'T do? Featuring the monocled rich guy and a cross between Goodfella's and Jack Nicholson?

9/11 was a pivotal part in many people's lives - even if they weren't there. I wanted to get off my chest what it was like for me, how it affected me, and what changed in my life because of it.

The first Podcast of Horror that interestingly enough isn't really scare at all. Unless you count the jokes! Music origins at the house, Halloween, and some more keto tips and tricks (well just one tip the rest is tricks).

Are you overweight? Well, I'm like you too and I'm subconscious as hell about it. But I'm here to tell you I haven't found any magic pill, or lost a ton of weight. I'm just here to tell you my story, what I'm doing, and my hopes and aspirations to transform my body and be the person I would love to be (outside and inside). I'm here, standing beside you, looking at our issues together.

Do you have questions about sex but are too afraid to ask? Well, this isn't the show for you! Today, we're talking about brisket. That fine, delicious piece of smoked meat that take about a half a day to taste good. But that wait is worth the time because cooking smoked brisket is skill worth learning (just ask your friends)!

Ever see a sign that says, "Keep Off the Grass!" Has it made you wonder what was so special about that grass that necessitated keeping off of it? Did it make you want to go get on the grass to try it out for yourself? Well, in today's episode we delve into plenty of the "don't try this at home" type of thing and literally: don't try this at home or anywhere else!

What in the world is an Exit Strategy? We address the passing of the torch and the meaning of it all (or scratch the surface). Also the latest up to date stuff like Disney, crawling around your house in the middle of the night, and enjoying the little things.
