Just For Fun

Hot garbage that only exists to make people laugh...hopefully...

This page houses some of my favorite things that remind me not to take life so damn seriously. I hope others can find some joy here, as I have. You're welcome.

  • That Time I Tired To Make Music With AI...

    Someone, I can't remember who, made the mistake of recommending Udio to me. I think it was actually William Osman from the Safety Third Podcast. I got on there, signed up, and made some properly fun songs. I planned to make an entire album, with a central theme, and everything, but life got dumb and I forgot. I'm making a movind day playlist and found the two songs I made. I know AI is basically a hot garbage factory that rips actual skilled people off, but this was too funny not to try. I also need to be familiar with AI tools to make sure I don't run afoul of them. The link will take you to the playlist. I hope you enjoy the only music I ever played a part in creating.

  • Tom Cardy: An Australian Musician That Makes Me Happy

    Where to even begin with this lovely chap? How about HERE with a song we can probably all relate to. There is just so much about this song, and this guy, that cracks me up endlessly. After you witness this masterpiece, go check out THIS for another giggle or two. I have found it entirely impossible to be sad when I hear some of his songs. Some are deep and meaningful, in a fun way. Many are complete Hot Garbage, which is exactly what I need in my life. He might be my my long lost brother or some such nonsense.

  • Safety Third Podcast

    This little gem of a dumpster fire is my favorite podcast for just fun and nonsense. I don't even know where to begin with this one. A bunch of probably ADHD riddled YouTube science creators and friends just get together to discuss truly random nonsense. My favorite episode is the one where they Traumatize Tom Scott for nearly an hour. Tom Scott, another beloved YouTube fellow, is just delightful. This is just a hilarious mess of an interview and I love it. Somehow they always end up talking about freaking taxes...

  • The Tim Ferriss Show: Mike Rowe

    This long, hilarious podcast is one that I come back to every once in a while just for a good laugh and some good life lessons. Mike Rowe, host of the TV show Dirty Jobs, has led a fascinating and hilarious life, and shares some excellent highlights in this podcast episode. I won't spoil anything here. It's worth just diving in and having a listen.

    The Tim Ferriss Show podcast is an all time favorite of mine for personal growth and well being, but there are a few episodes that are not as serious, and just fun. This is one of them.
