I gaslit you. I left. I built a studio in my garage. And now I’m back.

This episode starts as a “hey I’m alive” update and slowly spirals into algae eaters, bombing onstage, heckler PTSD, the weird privilege of protesting, and overhearing the most unhinged family argument you’ve ever heard at a San Marcos restaurant.

Today’s Tuesday edition of Seven Minutes in Evan spirals beautifully out of control — from wholesome dad joy to Austin street chaos to horses being unwilling first responders. Evan talks about watching his daughter see a Christmas tree for the first time, creepy old men at breakfast complimenting families, his wife’s surprise jab power, and why Austin sometimes feels like “Jurassic Park but with fentanyl.”

Then: the rabbit hole of police horses, special-needs kids getting VIP horse moments, what parrots may or may not repeat, and the absolutely insane P. Diddy documentary (plus the producer he knows with a wild Diddy story). Evan breaks down why baby oil might be what finally brings down a rap mogul.

If you love Austin comedy, funny dad podcasts, chaotic storytelling, relatable parenting humor, or unhinged observational comedy — this episode is your church.

“Jesus is coming” signs, brain rot, and the Giggle of God — yeah, we’re starting there.

In this one, I’m ranting about religious childhood trauma in the funniest way I know how — youth pastors whispering “Lord, come inside all of us,” yard signs that say “Jesus is coming,” and how wearing a cross is basically spiritual incognito mode plus a VPN for your sins. Observational humor meets absolute blasphemous brain rot.

Then I accidentally invent my new alter ego: “God’s Giggler.” I paint this whole scene of me backstage at an Austin comedy club with a tiny cigar, lightning in the ceiling, a kid in a Peaky Blinders hat holding a bucket, and me declaring, “God’s feeling funny tonight.” This is pure stand-up storytelling energy from an Austin comedian who’s maybe taken pre-workout for his imagination.

From there we slide hard into funny dad podcast mode: first-year parenting as a full-blown stress test. Baby breath-holding, fevers, rashes, thinking “Welp, guess my baby’s dead now” every 10 minutes, and realizing other parents were right when they said, “You are not busy until you have kids.” If you like parenting humor that’s way too honest, you’re home.

I talk about how having a kid nuked my ability to waste time on dumb arguments, turned my 2-hour gym sessions into 45-minute efficiency missions, and forced me to kill a bunch of ego just to survive. Less stewing in drama, more doing reps — in the garage and in life.

We also get into screen addiction and babies: my daughter going full Gollum over the phone, why we basically had to break up with FaceTime, and my fantasy of going full flip-phone while still needing Venmo, maps, banking, Amazon, and to run an entire career as a new comedian in 2025.

It ends kinda wholesome: how the holidays hit different now, why small-kid years are this fleeting magical window, and how I’m trying to stop living for “the next thing” and actually enjoy the mess I’m in. If you like relatable comedy, funny life stories, and listening to an Austin comedian overthink fatherhood in real time, this is it.
