Ep. 125: Change is Coming!
Welcome back. It has been quite a while since I have attempted to get behind the mic.
I have had a lot of problems with my Audacity software, as well as MS Word, tbh, this ASUS PC is a dinosaur from 2013, obsolete to say the least. I'm not sure who has the least memory
With that out of the way, I give you episode 125:
*Fictitiously running late, I allow a "guest host" to cover for me.
* A long segment of going into that which we have missed, namely Super Bowl 58, giving you a "Mic'd up" version of that final drive of KC.
* Also, News of the Weird (NOTW) featuring Las Vegas odds and ends and I talk about my upcoming trip to LV and the Sphere & seeing Scorpions on April 24.
Enjoy and Have a Laugh at the gaffes.

Hey there! Hello! Greetings and Welcome!
It has been officially 160 days since the last release of episode 120.
Due to life circumstances, I was given the opportunity to move The 420sf Studio to a safer location.
In this episode I'll share:
*The trials and tribulations of moving, and WHY I had to move: MY NEIGHBOR WAS A PARANOID SCHITZOPHRENIC!
* Also, the resolution to my sound issue
* My mental apprehension getting back to the mic

Episode 120: It's About Time...Literally
Hey, Hello, Greetings, and Welcome!
In episode 120, I share my everyday comings and goings and tell you: "There's a lot of 'pent-up aggression" that you can feel.
(Or is it just me?) LOL
I share my experience with Tony Robbins and what it has done for me.
Also, there is a lot of great audio from motivational speakers such as Ed Mylett and Dr. Ed Dispenza.
Plus, I share the latest in "Pee-Gate": a man who was hammered drunk and urinated all over a woman in flight.
And more...
Ep. 119: New Direction/Tony Robbins
NEW INTRO!!
Hello Greetings and Welcome!
In this episode, I share the news of my future adoption of Pugsley. He is part Pug and part Hound Dog (thank you, thank you very much), and in my continued effort to shed my old self (depression) and kick start a renewed commitment to myself, while sharing with others my struggle with depression and anxiety, I hope to shed light on different attitudes people held back then and now.
Also in this episode, I share my experience of attending a virtual Zoom seminar with Tony Robbins. The "Become Unshakeable Challenge" was an absolutely amazing experience. It was thought-provoking and a shock to the system tbh.
I learned a lot about myself and dare I say, I have a new lease on life. There is a lot of work to do but I am confident I can "pull this off" meaning there is a road back, I must remove these mental blockades.
You will hear from Tony Robbins, Matthew McConaughey, Jordan Peterson, AND ME!!
Stay tuned and as always LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and do all that you do!
Peace & Love
Danny
Ep. 117: The Final Episode? We will see...
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2023. I HOPE EVERYONE HAD A GREAT TIME.
I have been thinking about where to take The Sloppy Pod podcast in the New Year.
I do know that I want to really bring the mental health aspect into the mix, but tbh,
I'm not sure that the podcast name can help in that respect....so I ask you:
What are your thoughts and suggestions?
I'd really like to hear from you.
Thank you
