Hey, it's a short show. Second time in a row this podcast has referenced genitalia. What am I becoming?? Getting a chest cold. Halloween is coming up. Just wanted to check and make sure you are doing ok? Hope you get good candy in your Trick or Treat bag.Par Rick Baldwin

Welcome to the Outta Toon Podcast my friends! This week, Al Pacino declares there is no afterlife. This, from a man who did two Godfather movies after the original. Can we trust him? I participated in early voting with the rest of the seniors today. We're all in trouble, folks. Atlanta Pride was fun as usual. Let's get our Halloween on this week. I…

This week I'm fighting my Tennessee accent, battling my inability to remember things and hoping to help some friends and family affected by the recent hurricane. I discuss techniques for memorization and how to come up with a name for drugs you may have recently discovered. Seriously? That's what you spent all that time waiting on? Hey, let's try a…

On this Friday the 13th show, I discuss tea, classic movies and young, naked people. Nothing unlucky can happen to you now, right? You're welcome.Par Rick Baldwin

This week I'm freaking out at the process of ordering from Amazon. Is it better than going to the malls of the 70s and 80s? Well, no, but you take what you get, right? Do you have a favorite dog breed? If youve been listening for awhile, you may know mine so now I need to know yours. Drop me a Facebook post and let me know. Thanks for hanging out a…

This week I'm wondering about dating for older people. I don't know why. I'm not needing to date. But I suppose I'm just looking out for the elderly. Where are the best places to date? How are older people even making frends? I want to know this stuff. I've started planning for Halloween, folks. I'm planning on a Halloween story epidode of the podc…

Getting back into the swing of things this week and looking for a good formula for coffee. Do you have one? Do you have a specific coffee/water ratio for your recipes which you have developed over years of experimenting? If so, feel free to share. It's back to school week so I've been out buying three ring binders and new sneakers from Kmart. Eh. I…

Didn't expect a 3 month delay but, hey, we're back! What started as technical problems, turned into existential questioning and doubts. In the end, though, we made it through to a brand new show. Hope it was worth the wait. Let me know if you're still here...Par Rick Baldwin

It's the 100th Episode of the Outta Toon Podcast! For this very special show, I wanted to have as my special guest, my original podcast partner Cheri Brown. For those of you who don't know, Cheri and I started podcasting in 2013 and created the Life In A Kilt Podcast and This Epic Disaster podcasts together. We had a bit of a falling out a couple y…

Greetings Tooners! I'm back from my Minnesota vacation and all primed for a new show. This week I discuss fasting, traveling with dogs, having an Orange Julius at the Mall of America, and being stalked way too many times for an ugly dumb guy. How have you been? Are you getting your house all decorated in festive display for next week's 100th Episod…

Hi friends! I'm heading out on vacation tomorrow. Taking our dogs but we're leaving the cats behind. Hope they're going to be okay. I'm a little anxious about it. Someone will be house sitting and checking on them but I'm still stressed about it. Got a lot of things packed up in my travel tote. It's not a purse! I swear! At least I don't think it i…

Hi folks! Welcome to episode 97 of the Outta Toon Podcast! We'll soon be at our 100th show! This week I give an update on life events, look at some strange people and happenings around the world and discuss how we are all artists. I was told this week that the podcast sucks, which most of us already know, so I tried to make this one extra sucky. Le…

I'm starving here. No food for 24 hours. No food or drink for the next several hours. Today is my colonoscopy. So much fun. Looking forward to a beer and fries though. Also, this weekend is the big birthday. Getting old is not too bad. Might as well celebrate it. I'll keep you updated. Thanks for hanging out, friends. See you again soon.…

Greetings everyone! Welcome to episode 95 of the Outta Toon Podcast! We're speeding quickly toward episode 100 and I'm ready for it how about you? As I prepare to celebrate my birthday in a couple weeks I reflect on just what the heck I've done over my life. What have I accomplished? What have I learned? I've come to realize recently that I've only…

Today was a total eclipse of the sun (FYI: There is a total eclipse of the sun every single moment in time, depending upon your location...). Consequently, some religious group assumed this would be a good time for god to do its business. So, how are you? Did you survive? Did you get raptured or eye damage? Hope not. I discovered a very strange thi…

This week I'm counting down one month until my Bedian Birthday. I need something cool to do for celebration. Any ideas? Contact me if you think of something. I've noticed that getting older doesn't mean you don't appreciate the beauty of the human body. Only problem is, no one wants to know. I want to let you know about a couple of awesome document…

A return visit from pain has slowed me down the past few days but at this point everything seems to be looking up. I have new understandings about the body and also about who I am. Okay, yeah, this show is a bit metaphysical. Maybe a little spiritual. Not in a bad way, though. I'm having a cold one on this St. Patrick's Day, how about you? Erin go …

This week I tried AI art creation for the first time. Listen to this episode for the results. I kinda think AI has a promising future in the porn industry, including in some controversial ways. I've been getting back in touch with my "Philosophy of the Unfinished." It's something I starting working on a couple years ago and have been creating new a…

An unexpected vacation brings up some questions, causes me to encounter some brutal facts and leads me to ask a few hard questions of my own. It's all fun though. Come join me and hang out for a few minutes.Par Rick Baldwin

This week I find out the secrets behind "We Are The World" and have a grocery store experience with an angel in a cowboy hat. That's all. See ya next week.Par Rick Baldwin

Today is a show about dinners with long lost friends, very late Christmas gifts to far away friends, chugging whisky and how I almost got thrown out of Mexico. Enjoy!Par Rick Baldwin

This week I'm reflecting on the last month and a half of non-stop pain. I let you in on what that feels like and some methods I've been using to deal with it. Other than that, I mostly talk about drinking beer and I ridicule some people's inferior god. Another typical show. Enjoy.Par Rick Baldwin

This week I talk to long-time kilt dude, law enforcement ninja and mystical monk, Mike Poole. We discuss kilting up. being a cop and taking over as the substitute pastor. I question him as to whether spirituality is relevant today and, if so, how. Hope you enjoy. See you Monday!Par Rick Baldwin

My wife and I have made a commitment to two things this year: Swedish Death Cleaning and eating 5 servings of fruits and vegetables every meal. It seems a bit excessive but I'm giving it a try. Did you know old guys used to slather avocado on their genitals? And the Christian church spread a rumor that tomatoes were poisonous? Who knew vegetables h…

Back from holiday vacation! How is everyone? 2024 is okay so far. A few pains here and there but what do you expect with an old guy? So far this year I'm encountering pig dogs, "Diff'rent Strokes" conspiracies, fish and chips at Irish pubs and getting stabbed on New Year. Also, I have proof that we don't really die. Anything else? 'K, good. Here's …

It's the last show of the year and I put a lid on Christmas, prepare for the coming apocalypse and wonder if I have any more packages coming my way. Thanks to everyone who spent a little time listening to the podcast. Let's hope next year the show will get good enough where you can not be embarrassed to tell other people you listen. Just don't tell…

It's less that a week before Christmas. Are you surviving? I'm doing pretty good. I'm trying to figure out how to get a ton of gifts into a tiny stocking. Any ideas? I'm having a few difficulties with shipping companies and gifts, too. I'm not sure it's supposed to be this bad. Speaking of bad, have you ever had vegetarian tuna? Don't. Just don't. …

This week I revisit an old discussion on the best Christmas tartans. Always good for discussion at holiday time. Additionally, I discuss girl apartment smells, nostalgic Christmases and making a difference in small ways. Things that seem worthy of attention at this festive season. Thanks for checking out the show. Reach out and say "hi" some time.…

Hi friends! Speaking of friends, how are yours? Friends, I mean. Do you have any who are difficult to deal with? Is it time to consider cutting them loose? Sometimes it's worth evaluating. I'm enjoying a bit of eggnog so I decided to do an eggnog show. History of the nog, making the nog and spiking the nog. Now go have a cup of that sweet, fatty el…

Today I sit down for a little chat with our good friend Mike Faber of the ESO Network. We discuss podcasting, live concerts, The Monkees and much more. A really fun chat! Give it a listen.Par Rick Baldwin

Welcome to a new week, friends! I checked out the film "Killers Of The Flower Moon" this week. Give it a look if you like disgusting characters who make everyone's life hell. Kind of like me with this podcast. I was thinking about significant moments in my life like when I became a man and when I was (basically) told I couldn't sing. No one else kn…

The day after Thanksgiving and I'm still dealing with my gluttonous holiday activities, how about you? Not as bad as previous years but, crap, I still got work to do. This year for the holidays we get a feud between Hall and Oates, which of course we were all looking forward to. So, how about we just get into a discussion of weird religions? Why no…

'Twas the Tuesday before Thanksgiving... Got your dinners all planned out? I asked you what your favorite non-traditional Thanksgiving meal is and I got several interesting responses. Me? I'll stick with the traditional tofu molded into a turkey. I was reading a bit about sea angels last week and thought I'd share a little about these freaky mollus…

Welcome, friends, to the new, old, Outta Toon Podcast! Hope you enjoy your stay! Today, I'm planning a holiday dinner menu, planning a substantial haircut and planning on never watching Hallmark Christmas movies again. Yeah. Good luck with that. Let's discuss air travel and the destruction of expensive guitars and how to de-escalate conflicts at yo…

It's a new week! A new day! A new podcast name! Huh? Yeah, so "Apocaleptic" is now the "Outta Toon Podcast." Don't be scared. It won't hurt you. Listen to the show and let me explain. I'm dealing with dog poop issues. Also, I'm wearing women's clothes. This is how my week is starting, how about yours? We're in the middle of the Diwali celebration. …

Hi friends! Welcome to the 1 Year Anniversary of Apocaleptic! Woah! Holy Crap! How did this happen! I want to think everyone for hanging out with me for a year. As a reward, I'm going to make the show EVEN BETTER! You'll notice some new additions and tweaking of the old very soon. And by "old" I mean me. I'll be tweaking myself. It's how I celebrat…

Halloween is over but I'm being held hostage by my leftover candy! This is not good. Someone come rescue me! So, I'm pretty sure my dog knows my every move before I make them. Scary. Hey, I got in trouble this week by Facebook for posting a picture of a Facebook ad. How does that even make sense?? And yet... Well, I discuss a controversial topic on…

On this episode I discuss how and why I wrote my latest horror story, "The Specter of Red Dog Road." Then I attach a reading of the story for your Halloween haunted season entertainment. Hope you enjoy it. See you Thursday!Par Rick Baldwin

Hi my friends, welcome to a middle-of-the-week show. Last week was a busy one. I did a lot of the things I discussed on the show. Said goodbye to a kitty, told some ghost stories, saw naked breasts on the streets of Atlanta. All the normal stuff. This week I'm into the fairy tales of holidays, social media bully posting and the ongoing failure of a…

Hello friends! A short show this week. I'm healing from an episode of stigmata thanks to a power drill and bad judgement. My old man cat is on his last paw and I'm preparing to say goodbye. Sad to let our little friends go, huh? I'm also preparing to tel haunted stories at Stone Mountain Park's "A Tour of Southern Ghosts" storytelling event. If you…

I know. This episode is weird. Quirky. Kinda freaky. Hey, it's the vaccines, okay? Maybe the anti-vac people are on to something after all. Anyway, on this show I discuss vaccines, good music, Cameo and trying to control fame. At least I think that's what I discussed. I can't remember. I'll try again tomorrow. See you soon, friends.…

Hey, I actually recorded a show without having to do it twice! Pushing the record button really works! Well, I'm preparing to decorate for autumn, how about you? Atlanta is going to be rather fall-like this week and I'm ready to make the best of it. I got to see "Stop Making Sense" this week and it's still (maybe) the best concert film ever. Catch …

I'm joined on this episode by the lovely Maria, a woman I spend most of my life with. Mostly because we got married but also because she's pretty hot and smarter than me is. Unfortunately, I completely get everything off to a bad start by almost getting through the entire show and then realizing I forgot to push "Record." Embarrassing. Anyway, it a…

Nice to be back, my friends. It was a little forced vacation as I dealt with the earth trying to shake me off of it. I'm not so sure it has ever really been comfortable with me. Hey, I recently read about the Aghori sect of Hinduism and it made me think about a philosophy I developed back in my 20s which I call "The Gospel of Blasphemy." The Aghori…

We're getting ready for a hurricane to move through the south so I hope everyone stays safe and secure. Maybe grab a pack of ice cream sandwiches or cones to enjoy while you ride it out. Do you still get visits from the ice cream truck? Haven't seen one in awhile. I think they are avoiding me. I met my soul mate last night and she had a really weir…

This week we're heading for 100° weather in Atlanta. Someone please send us ice. If you have nothing to do, why not plan on attending Fyre Festival 2? Yes, it's happening. Or maybe you'll want to look for the Loch Ness Monster this weekend. Just bring along an expert in the topic of monsters. Most likely they do exist. What should we do for Hallowe…

Welcome to a rare video show, my friends. You don't have to watch the video version but it's there if you want it. I'm updating my term for the short generation between Boomers and Gen X, of which I am a part. Pay attention and start using the new label. I've been sleeping in the rain the past few days. Sort of. It's relaxing so join me, won't you?…

Yesterday, storms moved through the south and made it very difficult to record a podcast. So here we are today. Been awhile since I shared a beer with you so I hope you don't mind if I crack one open today. I got to watch the Jason Isbell documentary Running With Our Eyes Closed last night. I really enjoyed it and it made me think about how challen…

Happy Episode 60 everyone! Hope you have a good holiday. Me? I'm still trying to get my life and home organized. It sure is taking awhile. How are you with trust? Do you trust people easily? I feel like I can learn a lot about trust from my cat. Celebrities are dropping like, well, celebrity flies. We've lost several the past couple weeks. The worl…

So much in the news this week! Controversy about small towns and country songs, insane Presidential news, and social media craziness. How can we be blamed for wanting to watch it all? Just remember, distractions are simply other people stealing your life. Do you really want to give them that much control? Personally, I'd rather not. Stay alert. Don…
