All about much of what I've experienced following the death of my grandfather last week, plus one of the last two conversations I had with him.

I'm back with this brief, solo episode before guests return next week! Sometimes it's easy to talk yourself out of doing things after a few of life's hiccups. I found my motivation to return to what I love, like podcasting. Finally.

After an intro regarding the passing of Robin Williams that was reported during the recording of this episode, Larry and I delve into how filmmaking has seemed to change over the years and how he prefers to stretch the boundaries. Appropriately enough, we also discuss humor as a tool to cope with sensitive topics. Donate to the indiegogo campaign and get Mitch & Tanner Save America out there!

Sarah Goldberg returns to talk about our day at The Price Is Right, then the upcoming week of chaotic fun that is GISHWHES, a scavenger hunt run in part by Misha Collins. She also discusses how it made a personal impact.

Joey is a professional wrestler from Jersey who has been dealing for over a year now with multiple back injuries and being unable so far to return to the ring. We discuss his career and his current focus on staying involved with the profession while also healing.

In this slightly delirious episode, I recap with Adam Scherer my move from Seatlle to LA. A bit sleep deprived and delirious, so we, of course, discuss Facebookings.

A brief solo ep, recorded from a superclassy hotel room in Oregon, in which I talk about the emotional crap from getting a house ready for sale and the migration to LA from Seattle thus far. Never underestimate the workload. Seriously.

In which we discuss Adam's move from Atlanta to LA in 2008 to pursue a career in entertainment as a voice actor, writer, and behind-the-camera guy, and how easy it can be to want to give up.

I'm selling my house and moving from Seattle to Los Angeles this summer, and have a pile of worries/fears to work out before then. In this solo ep, I babble on about the source of my issues regarding this impending move, including growing up without my own residential stability.

Galen's in a new indie film released by Lionsgate, Children of Sorrow, about falling into a cult. We discuss his role, experience as an actor, and a quirky childhood in which parents actually encouraged his creative growth, even through therapy.

In which actor Dan Fogler and I discuss his film Don Peyote, the show pilot he's filming, voice acting, and any other random thing that pops up. 

I realize my content hasn't had nearly enough depth lately, so in this episode I discuss my thoughts on it and my plan going forward. Perhaps I have been afraid to get into details with guests for certain reasons, and maybe have been avoiding things rather than procrastinating. This is me going on record about working on all of that.

Ashley (@healthyaddict) joins me to discuss how she got into atheism and began producing content of that and the nerdy variety. I learn how growing up in a closed-minded town actually caused her to find her outlet and more of her identity through interactions online, and for the better.

I avoided subjecting a guest to my con-plague (thanks, Vegas!) and recorded this solo ep about New Media Expo, CES, Michael Bay's freezeup, and FOX News not getting the point of a Muse headband's de-stressifying abilities.

In which Wendy, aka @Nerdrage42, discusses with me nerdy things (as the name implies), having anxiety and ADHD, and both the fun and challenges of being mom to both a teenage and almost-teenage boy, one being autistic. I met this lady when she worked at Archie McPhee, so you KNOW she's entertaining.

Yet another solo episode, this time in which I discuss car theft, plans to attend New Media Expo, getting media cred for a Comic Con, the drama of my almost-job, and the idea of building up and moving on.

Clarke is a horror geek who has done a pile o' hosting gigs, including cohosting the Bloodcast. Here we discuss that and how to NOT be a pretentious poohead in the industry.

In which I have a fantastic chat with the creator of The Toxic Avenger and head of Troma Entertainment. Yeah. Mind blown. This guy also put out Trey Parker & Matt Stone's first movie, Cannibal! The Musical, and brought Hayao Miyazaki to the States. So there's that.

Dian is best known as Choda Boy in Orgazmo and Squeak in BASEketball, plus several voice acting gigs for South Park. He is also freakin awesome overall and stars in the upcoming "Fhs Murders of Brandywine Theater". Listen to us discuss the things! 

Sarah is a stand-up comic who did very well in the Make Danny Laugh competition in Bellevue, WA, so I snagged her to talk about far too many awesome things. Of course.

In which we discuss Jason's career in front of and behind the camera, often for Nickelodeon and Nerdist, and how he learned beach time does not necessarily equal dying in a gutter.

In which David Wall talks about starting a web business, Good Road Network, while working with anxieties and then some. 

During the SDCC insanity, Mel Schmitz and I found a moment in a Marriott lobby to chat about NerdHQ, grounded celebs, "standards" of geekiness, and her contributions to Hellogiggles.com (http://hellogiggles.com/author/melanie-schmitz). Listen as I work off two $2 margaritas.

In this episode, I snag Brian Ibbott (Twitter: @Coverville) the day after Nerdtacular 2013. It's a brief one; I babble exhaustedly while further destroying his voice. Listen also for a cameo from the band Same Sex Mary!

Blame hypoxia for this one, in which I babble nonsensically with a pile of people I'd just met at Nerdtacular 2013. While we only somewhat discuss anxieties about the convention, this was largely about me recording with many new people at once. It's an exercise in masochism.

In which we discuss, while at Nerdtacular 2013, determining intent behind offensive humor and anxiety of whether to use content on shows. (Twitter: @JustinRYoung)

In which Cait Hammer and I discuss the effect of nervous giggling, which seems to range from incarceration to gropey comedians.

Cait and I have made horrible mistakes based on anxieties and learned things from our relationships. Let us pass the savings on to you, including the joy of a "Draft" folder.

In this solo ep, learn how I developed such craptastic anxieties in the first place. It's a happy one!

Join me and Cait on a delightful travel montage to L.A. as we deal with anxieties about the trip and scheduled guests. There was much alcohol and an anxiety attack... or two.

Gary Fisher (Twitter: @The_Lan_Guru) talks with me about anxiety issues in his family and the joys of medication. I brilliantly left the recorder's windscreen in Seattle, so please excuse the occasional "whoosh".

Lesley Victorine runs stuffonmyrabbit.tumblr.com. She also learned four days after having her first kid (five hours from home) that internet trolls were passing off her work as their own. In this episode, Lesley discusses handling the trolls and Stuff on My Rabbit, plus cracks jokes about delivering her son. (Twitter: @SOMRofficial) Check out http://www.anxieteaparty.com!

Yes, THE Anne Wheaton (Twitter: @AnneWheaton), who is much more than wife of Wil Wheaton. We chatted outside a fantastic coffee shop in Burbank, CA about ugly crying, anxiety attacks, handling chaotic conventions, and how Nathan Fillion gives her gas.

Guest Riff Millar (Twitter: @dj_spacemonkey) brings delicious happy tea, biscuits, and a plethora of reasons why the housing market and family piled on the anxieties.

Sometimes people met online are murder-ey. Sometimes they end up getting you camera time in costumes... with zero murders. Guest: Cait Hammer (Twitter: @hammer_cat)

My Vegas trip, in which I decided at the last minute to attend the NMX/Podcast Awards, was amazing and motivating. Clearly I found no dead hookers under the mattress.

How the *expletive deleted* do I power through the anxieties to get on stage in front of people? Isn't it safer to quietly occupy a cubicle for the rest of my life?

I finally jumped in and created a thing! In my first episode (hopefully not my last), I explore the delays of doom that, uh, delayed the publishing of such... greatness?
