The Absurd Podcast

My guest this week is Justin Hooper. Justin is a veteran of the US Navy and a former intelligence officer. He has been on numerous deployments in the Middle East as a member of both the military and as a private contractor. He has a tremendous amount of insight on the inner workings of the military and warfare, and dive just below the surface of that for a few minutes. We also discuss his history of being a terrible loser with video games and I talk about being profiled at Disneyland.

We talk about his process of filming and capturing the interesting stories of people, and we discuss the issue of homelessness as a whole in America.

The Absurd Podcast returns after a brief hiatus with a slightly new format. This week's episode features the wife and I bitching at each other and talking politics. We also discuss what I call the pussification of America and the constant need that people seem to have to be offended by everything. Finally, we discuss how stressed I get watching UFC and end the show with Hillary dropping a bombshell on me about the time she tried Ecstasy while we were broken up (and didn't bother to tell me for years...like an asshole). It's a fun episode and we're glad to be back. This episode is brought to you me...because I recorded it...
