The new episode of Bunkum is up! The first "arc", let's call it, of Bunkum was episodes 1-50 and was inspired by old-timey radio and was mostly me playing a bunch of crazy idiots fighting with each other. Very "Goon Show". In episode 50, I went back in time and prevented the whole podcast from … Continue reading Bunkum 53!
Thanks, Brian. Yes, I'm now making the final preparations for the astounding feat and I will, in fact, be using my astounding feet (ha ha) as the chief means of propulsion to accomplish my incredible publicity stunt designed to astonish and amaze. For I plan on April 9th to don my special astonishing slash amazing … Continue reading Swimming Across America
You ever notice how people only see what they wanna see? And you can be jumpin' up and down and yelling the truth right in people's face, but they just see what they wanna see, you know? I was saying this to Mickey in HR the other day, trying to ease into it gradual-like, but … Continue reading Gorilla

I was polishing off my thirty-sixth bottle of Old Bastard whiskey when she knocked through the door. With it getting shot out twice a week, I'd started replacing the door's glass with that cheap sugar glass they use in movies. I oughta put up a sign, I guess. I must have been thinking about the … Continue reading Hard-Boiled
I got a bull recently. This is not a metaphor. He hangs out around the house, eating grass and glowering at the neighbor kids who try to pet him. But mostly his job is to gore me to death. Sometimes it's because of my lazy parenting. Other times it's because I got into an internet … Continue reading The Bull
As I've mentioned, I loooooove old radio shows. Comedies, dramas, westerns, game shows, I love them all. It's just like any other medium; a lot of it's filler and crap, but some of it is spectacular. With that in mind, here are The Five Best OTR Shows According to Me, the Universe's Expert on All … Continue reading The Five Best OTR Shows
I love old-time radio (OTR). An 80s kid, I grew up on three-camera sitcoms about loving families and six thousand good-enough comedies being run four times a week on HBO. At some point around the age of 10, I found out about audio comedy. We had some standup records and I had a few favorite … Continue reading Old-Time Radio and Me
I've been enjoying plotting out this screenplay. It's a classic story of a slave revolt in Ancient Rome, but instead of a heroic Spartacus figure, it's a reluctant mother who wants to bust out her kid. Read the first five pages for free here!
As much as I love my biweekly podcast, "Bunkum", my screenplay, "A Fool's Errand", is my pride and joy. It's the story of an aimless man who strikes out on a new and purposeful life. Except unlike comedy protagonists, he doesn't undergo a sudden and random transformation into a kind, mature, capable adult because people … Continue reading Read “A Fool’s Errand” for free right now!
