EP66 “She Was Just A Side Piece”

November 7, 2025

A guy stood up a date so she set his house on fire, and a naked guy ran through Walmart and yes drugs were involved. How odd. Your local movie theater has never been in this bad of shape, and guess which city has the most rats? It ain’t New York. A Florida teacher showed up to class high on cocaine and it got worse from there, plus if you marry on a holiday, your marriage is cursed. Shit got weird at an Illinois McDonalds and gun play was involved, and even worse, a guy willingly paid alimony for his cats, and he was fine with it. A guy was eating a bag of Doritos and the cops were alerted, and that’s not a joke, plus a guy destroyed eighty pumpkins for no reason and yes, it was in Florida. 70-year-old Kelsey Grammer just had his 8th kid with his 4th wife, plus Kim Kardashian thinks the moon landing was a hoax. Cows apparently love jazz music and give more milk and finally, 21 monkeys are on the loose, so beware! Its amazing how shit gets stranger every week. How can that be?

Michael Myers

October 31, 2025

The very first “Halloween” is my all-time favorite horror film; all the sequels are trash and a waste of time. “Halloween” is damn near perfect, so how could I not bring Michael Myers into this list. I painted this one ten years ago, so it’s rough, but still not bad. Even killers need a coffee break and a trip to the nail salon. Happy haunting and thanks for listening!

EP65 “Halloween Scary Rama Bitch”

October 31, 2025

Today, the scary is everywhere! A man threw his own funeral and he wasn’t dead, plus a blind man in Italy received state benefits for 50 years, problem for him is that he wasn’t actually blind. A restaurant in Washington has a strict no phones policy, and people are loving it. Something appears to be up with Britney Spears and it doesn’t seem good. Francis Ford Coppola is broke, as in no money, and AI could soon be assisting NFL refs. Early to bed and early to rise isn’t necessarily a good thing, and as odd as it may sound, people are being warned they shouldn’t lick the toads. Three women were arrested because their underwear had $650,000 worth of gold in them, and Valentine’s Day is not the loneliest day of the year for singles; Halloween is! Today is our Halloween Spooktacular and it’s a complete waste of your time. That I promise.

EP64 “Strippers Have To Make A Living Too”

October 24, 2025

Cops brought an end to one man’s violence by serving him Dairy Queen, and celebrities are up in arms about a gas station dinosaur. Delivery people are stealing merch left and right, and Americans are feeling really good about marijuana. Nasa is planning to build livable quarters on the moon with material already found up there. What would you do if a workmate hugged you every time they see you? Heidi Klum has boob hair, and proud of it, and a gorilla slammed into a glass viewing wall and cracked it. What TV show never had a bad season, and young and old people are now renting homes together. I give you the latest on Halloween this season, and you’ll be pleasantly surprised how a former stripper is now making a living. Hey, we all have to make a living some way! Hop aboard.

Pennywise

October 24, 2025

I find painting human faces extremely difficult. There are so many different shades of color on one human face and I find painting that tedious. It helped that this is a clown. That said, it still took me months. The remake of the film, “IT” is one of my all-time favorite horror films. Bill Skarsgård’s performance as Pennywise is one of the greatest in the history of horror. I put his performance up there with Boris Karloff as Frankenstein. I used a photograph of Mr. Skarsgård in character and full makeup. I painted this about a year ago and it is one of my top five favorites.

EP63 “An Alligator Walked Into A Bar” with Professor Andrew Fraknoi

October 17, 2025

The best man at a wedding was never told he shouldn’t shoot anyone, and be careful of chat GPT; it apparently remembers what you talk about. What’s a skill everybody should learn, and how much do you think you need to retire? You may be shocked. Would you like to skip heavy traffic? Can you say flying taxis? A cow showed up in the median of a busy freeway, and no one can figure out how he got there. People are no longer hooking up for sexy romps, and the reason is a clear sign of the times. The color of your car may be attracting birds to take a dump on it, plus learn how not to decorate your house for Halloween. Scientists have woken something up that’s been sleeping for forty thousand years. That doesn’t seem like the best idea, does it? Plus, an alligator walked into a bar, and yes, it was in Florida. We’re clearly busy today, so let’s get started.

Ghost On The Bench

October 17, 2025

Lynda gave me an image she found on the internet and asked me to paint it. It was by an artist that goes by the name, “3 AM Horror.” I so love his art that I have pained his work on several occasions; this is simply the latest one. As I do often when painting an image I don’t fully understand, I come up with a scenario as to what the painting could be about. In this case, I decided that this is the old dilapidated home where this man once lived. Since he died, the house has succumbed to the earth around it, and has started to fall into ruin. In death, his spirit returns to the same bench he spent many years sitting on as he continues in death what he did in life.

The Munsters

October 10, 2025

This one affords you the opportunity to play a little game. I’ve been a Munsters fan since childhood, and decided to paint them. The image you see doesn’t exist anywhere except here. I read something about the Munsters which gave me the idea that you see. I allowed fantasy to play into this one as if the Munsters were a real live family. Based on what I read about the show, I created this image in my head. Everything you need to figure out the scenario of this setting is in the picture you see. I will share a bit of a hint; there is an easter egg buried somewhere in this painting that is the key to figuring out the scenario of what you see. If you have a guess, put it in the comments below. Have fun!

EP62 “Why Would Two Guys Eat Their Passports Midair On A Flight”

October 10, 2025

The world’s largest great white shark breezed past swimmers in North Carolina, and a couple decides to divorce because their dog and cat couldn’t get along. I can clearly see that! JK Rowling is pissed off at Emma Watson, and lets her have it on social media, plus a guy was arrested doing 107 mph because he had to get to his barber appointment, which makes complete sense. You want to sell your fingernail clippings? Because China is buying, and I’m all in. Americans are cooling it on college saying it’s a waste of time and money, and Halloween is in trouble because Americans are saying it’s too expensive. I say pick one. And what are the best candies to hand out on Halloween? PETA is calling for a teacher to resign because of what she did to a new born kitten in front of her class, and that one is hard to hear. Florida comes through in a big way with a guy who presents a live alligator in court as his attorney. The crazies are clearly here, and that includes me.

EP61 “A Wannabe Bride Does A Stupid Thing, Or Was It”

October 3, 2025

Lots of good crap today. Example; A school administrator stole an ATM machine without his wife’s permission, and a mere skateboard sold at auction for millions. Cool Stories In Music pulls back the layers of Levi Stubbs career, and what would happen if you drove a tiny Barbie car in real traffic while drunk? This dude found out. The five activities that are banned in space, and a wannabe bride does a stupid thing, or did she? Marjorie is the latest hot craze name for your newborn child, and there’s a reason, plus I give you the top 10 one hit wonders. She did something because she thought it was really sweet. He didn’t! An Ohio school teacher was fired because he stole 14 lawnmowers, and you can now purchase the actual house from the Conjuring. Anybody? Push play so the haunting can begin!
