A late check-in after a quiet stretch: a good weekend with family, pizza and custom brews, and a whim set at Stet's. Last Friday was comedy in Orlando Padron's backyard with Mobley's Comedy Stop, and open mic is still the most experimental stage.

Recapping a bomb at Britt's Tavern that somehow still inspired somebody to try an open mic, plus digging up an old Japan eBay video switcher for Forza, driving to Wayward Sons cross-training at Riverside Community Center, quitting complaining cold turkey, and a BetterHelp vs Buzzsprout bit on the way through the rain.

Hosted Coastal Dayz Monday, headed to Britt's Tavern in Arcadia for the open mic, and the podcast is on YouTube now so clips can go vertical. Still chasing that first stranger who shows up because of the pod.

Quick on-the-go update: hosting Monday open mic at Coastal Dayz Brewery in Fort Myers (2161 McGregor Blvd) — showtime 6:30, ends at 9. Quiet weekend with family, podcast hit about 75 downloads, and a shout to whoever's listening instead of calling.

Driving home from Visani's 1st Comic Standing Round 4 in Port Charlotte. Competitiveness kicked in at the castle on Kings Hwy, the set felt better than expected, got 22 votes (up from 3 at Snappers), and Katie may have opportunities in the works — plus Calusa/Sanibel, maybe Miami, and Nice Guys Pizza in October.

Just got done at Snappers. Open mic was a blast, then the announcement you've been waiting for: guests are coming (aiming Nov/Dec, mostly a 2027 thing). Plus Coastal Days, Sonny's, and Stet's plugs.

Shocked my podcast host emailed me about 50 downloads. On the way to Snappers in Fort Myers, plugging Tuesday at Sonny's, and spring-cleaning into the weekend.

After my first co-host night at Stet's, I talk through a big family decision: selling the house and renting closer to work and school. The math says the move could buy back about nine full work weeks every year — time with my wife and son instead of time in the car.
