Mostly about Forrest Gump
Listen, they can't all be winners.  You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. There's uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That- that's about it   Music by: Roxanne Starnik

I wouldn't want to belong to any club that would have me as a member or something like that
Wowie zowie.  This episode is totally unedited so just keep that in mind, alright? Jen, the woman with the soft white baby eyes, makes shame her only defining personality trait. FINALLY!! Lots of talk on conspiracy as related to current events happening in 'Merica. Is this the last episode?? NOT SURE!!  If you are looking for something bigger and better check out Conspirituality Podcast

100% That Shiksa with Isaac Mell
We have a guest!!   Isaac Mell is a 31 year old Cleveland, Ohio resident who is a delightful, hilarious and interesting human. He shares his story about being raised Jewish, living on a kibbutz in Israel and the impactful relationship he had with a rabbi who was his mentor and a leader in his community during his formative years. We talk about trying to duplicate the spiritual experience through ritual, 'chasing the Jewish dragon' and what a truly challenging task it is to accept reality. Isaac's story is lovely and thoughtful and I had so much fun interviewing him!  Follow Isaac on Instagram HERE Follow One Step Closer To Death on Instagram HERE  If you are interested in being a guest on the show and would like to share your story and your hot takes on spirituality please email me at [email protected]

Am I Crazy?
Happy Halloween, everyone!! Here is another solid episode that makes absolute sense and isn't just me being a neurotic babbling weirdo AT ALL. Lots of snortling and a squeaky, SPOOKY, chair in the background bringing you All Hallows Eve vibes. Cringe brings the TERROR.  The fact that I can't unlive my life and start over is HORRIFIC but here we are just trying to figure it out and get it together and do it all over again day after day.  https://www.instagram.com/deathstepper/
