We’ve finally got the esteemed mister Christopher Bloom on the podcast! In addition to being a Radically Candid writer, Chris is a modern dancer living and working in the big apple frapple, NYC. Chris Dodson also joined us for this episode, and with a gang of old friends around the table we delved into some incrimination nostalgia… being dumb and young and partying.

We also talk about what it’s like to be a not-quite-starving artist in NYC (which apparently translates to pretty-much-starving on international tours), and Christopher’s upcoming trip to China. Yes, that’s the China.

Jason Stotts, philosopher and blogger at Erosophia, joins us once again to pick up where we left off in Episode 9 (Part 1) and Episode 9 (Part 2). The dangling participle at the end of our last conversation was non-monogamy, which we will come to find out is a term that seems to tell you a lot, but actually tells you very little. Though very taboo in the “above ground” version of our culture, Jason runs us through some basics about the ethics of consensual extramarital sex (essentially indulging us with the short, sweet, and oral version of what he’s already written here).

Join us for this, ahem, Candid discussion of “playing beyond the pair” (not a lifestyle term… I just made that up), whether polysexuality can be part of a healthy and committed relationship, and what risks make up the bathwater that so often gets the baby thrown out.

In this episode the esteemed Alex Smallwood joins us as we raise some interesting questions. But don’t hold your breath for the answers, because you’ll pass out. Is The Full Mollies a kinky Irish sex act? Why isn’t he called Winnie the Shit? And what is kombucha anywayz?

A first for this podcast, we announce a simultaneous sponsor and superfan who mailed us a hilarious and somewhat disturbing package in the mail. We also puzzle Andrew with the news that in a latte art competition, the drinks aren’t judged by taste, and finally, Alex is Satanic Barry White.

Join us. It’s a hell of a journey.

Today we welcome a delightful guest and an excellent storyteller, MMA fighter Kenny “Good to Go” Gaudreau. Joe and Kenny met on the jiu jitsu mat in 2006, and in this episode we hear why Kenny had two black eyes at the time. By his account, he’s mellowed, but poised at the start of a career of fighting for a living, we’re not convinced. And we’re not sure whether the charming and less violent Danielle is either. But we do know she uses Audible. Join us as we talk fighting, training, food, life, and the old days.

In a rare glimpse into one of the world’s most elusive demographics, join us as we delve into the beer-fueled ramblings of three gentlemen who both a) were at some point homeschooled and b) talk about Fleshlights, homebrewed beer, and the unexpected hijinks of cloning your willy.

Alex Vega is our guest on this episode, and also the generous supplier of the homebrew. We get strikingly lewd, and several kinds of nerdy (network security nerdy; fantasy, nights, and dragons nerdy).
