Episode 4 – Grand Theft Auto, Parenting Fails & The Talk Nobody Wants to Have

This week, my nephew introduces my three boys to Grand Theft Auto, and let’s just say… it doesn’t take long before my wife catches them hanging out in the one place every parent hopes their kids won’t end up, even if it is only in a video game.

In this episode of Lost My Mind at 40: The Time I Accidentally Went to Mars, I share my hilarious and painfully honest story about the first time he tried cannabis edibles in Colorado, only to discover that “just one gummy” can turn into a full-blown disaster when you misread the instructions. What starts as a curious trip into a dispensary quickly becomes a wild tale of confusion, overconfidence, and getting absolutely blasted, all told with sharp, self deprecating humor and a lot of personality. The episode also takes a funny turn into the everyday grossness of buffets, casinos, and the strange things people do around shared food, making it a fast, unfiltered, and highly relatable comedy listen for anyone who enjoys real life stories with a wild edge.

Episode 2 – Walmart, Bathrooms & Losing Faith in Humanity

In this episode of Lost My Mind at 40, I share one of the most bizarre experiences I’ve had in a Walmart bathroom. What started as a simple birthday trip for my youngest son. Who apparently informed me that AJR concert tickets don’t count as a real birthday present, quickly turned into a story I’ll never forget.

While trying to survive another Walmart adventure, we witnessed a guy yelling at someone for speaking Spanish… all while delivering his “patriotic” speech from inside a bathroom stall. Yes, you read that correctly.

From there, I dive into the absurd assumptions people make, why kindness seems harder than it should be, and how Americans somehow expect everyone else to tolerate us speaking English around the world while some can’t handle hearing another language here at home.

Don’t worry, this isn’t a political rant. It’s a humorous look at one ridiculous encounter, sprinkled with parenting stories, self-deprecating humor, and the random observations that come from trying to navigate life after 40.

If you’ve ever walked into Walmart and immediately wondered, “What fresh chaos am I about to witness?”… this episode is for you.
