This is the full breakdown of everything that defined 2025. From the Mad Men marathons and the deep dives into Star Trek and Pluribus, to the dental surgery recovery, hitting the big 5-0, and bringing home Vincent Von Cat.

WeWork is Broken
11/12/2023 Duración: 12minMy girlfriend, Stacey, would be surprised (and delighted) to know that I was not responsible for breaking this particular coffee mug. She recently told me that she expects at least one thing to be broken while she goes away (which she does often). “Well, Fuck You!” I think I said (which I most certainly didn’t). Fair enough. I never started that punk band “Accident Prone” after drawing many anarchy “circle A” logos, complete with a charged-up punk with a broken leg braced up and in full leather. Let me tell you about my stage broken leg sometime. I guess I did end up in the ‘cast’ (more like a Moon Boot for an entire year, the closest I will ever be to an astronaut, too).

Episode 24: Happy Birthday, Sensei
15/09/2022 Duración: 05minHappy Birthday, Sensei How I learned to count and breathe with Uechi-Ryu claynferno.substack.com (http://claynferno.substack.com) It starts with the breath. I learned to count in Japanese when my Dad and I took on the ultimate 80s father/son bonding exercise by taking Karate together. I am sorry, but I somehow have yet to watch Cobra-Kai. The Karate Kid craze in the 80s and early 90s was a real thing, and we were all about it. We studied under Sensei Michael and Sensei Linda. We had to drive to get there and were sure not to forget our gi when leaving the house because there was a ‘three strikes and you are out’ penalty for forgetting your gi at home. Uechi-Ryū Karate-Do My Dad used to smoke, and he had his cigarettes in his red t-shirt pocket by his heart. One of the training exercises we did was to face each other, our forearms pressed against each other. In a kind of “hot hands” or reverse arm wrestle, the point was to stare your opponent down, quickly move your arm away from the other person and land a st
