Paul Ald, in typical fashion, makes a snazzy podcast talking about life at 34, the Denver mindset, happenings and goings-on, and random stuff.
Episode 38: Highway Blizzard Survivor
In this episode (potentially part 1 of a 2-part episode), I discuss the extremely dangerous drive to Milwaukee, my adventures in that city over Christmas vacation, and my new Veganism this month. There were more talking points, but I ran out of air and got tired, so next episode I will continue where we left off.Ok guys, I need to come clean about something. These episodes are AWFUL! So many ums, ands, yeahs, uhhs, etc. I'm always talking after the end of a long ass work day when I don't want to do anything but hit the bed or play Mario Maker. I might try moving these episodes to Saturdays so I can speak right after I wake up. I might not sound so terrible.Also, lesson learned, I think drinking water while I talk is a requirement now. I don't know if it's the elevation or what, but I couldn't breathe after 40 minutes of speech, which is definitely a red flag. I might need to get that checked out...

Episode 37: Christmas Cookie Expert (Recorded 12/21/2022)
Guess who completely forgot to publish this one? I originally recorded this on 12/21. Well, JUST noticed today 1/3, so here you go! I really need to stop recording these when I've been up for 16 hours. Anyway, in this short Christmas-themed episode, I discuss the cold weather moving into Denver, Christmas vinyl, getting drunk by 1PM, plant-based hotdogs, Buttermilk play time, and the fact that I made too many Christmas cookies. No new beer but the outro music is "Riddle" from one of the (Castlevania) "Akumajo Dracula" soundrack, a recent obsession in video game music.

Episode 35: I'm high... maybe
Kudos to anyone that can actually understand this inaudible, indiscernible gibberish! In this week's episode, I'm high... kind of... am I? We discuss Christmas things, Mexican food, Gym workouts, the new job, Buttermilk being super hyper, cold showers, books, turn signals, and shopping. This week's outro music is Children of the Damned by Iron Maiden. Missing the beer can opening sound effect at the beginning? I will probably bring it back next week.

I'm technically out of a job - intentionally. This week I speak about that, video games, War & Peace, the lack of Thanksgiving plans, and dream bars. No new beer this week or outro music OR thumbnail, I'm just lazy.

Episode 31: Voter & Local Drunkard
In this episode, I drop the f bomb a bit too much, as I speak very zealously about topics such as abortion, voting, getting drunk, being an idiot, reading books, and the Packers being a bad team. No new beer this week, but the outro music is a hilarious dubstep song called "Keyboard Killer" by Barely Alive. Seriously, the first 60 seconds of that song is comedic genius!

Episode 29: Strained Relationships, Moonshine Pancakes
Buttermilk has become a tough cookie, the Packers still suck, it's getting cold outside, and I'm going vegan next month (mostly). Apologies for the unedited nature of this one and the delay in uploading this, I just didn't have the time and it's been a tough week. This week's beer was the Blackberry Lemon Sour Ale from Upslope Brewing, and the outro music is Mirror Man by Scotty Malcom.
