Introversion 23.0: The Last Dance
We’ve reached episode #23, and if you’ve been listening to the Introversion podcast, you’ve probably heard me mentioning I wanted to do an episode on “The Last Dance” (the documentary on Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls)… so obviously I couldn’t allow episode #23 to come and go withOUT it being “The Last Dance” episode. So here we go…
If you’ve got The Last Dance in your watchlist but just haven’t gotten around to it yet, I recommend watching it first and then coming back here to listen to this episode as an epilogue of sorts. Otherwise, if you had no intention of watching The Last Dance (or don’t even care about Jordan or basketball in general), I recommend listening to this episode right now. What I say today is about so much more than just basketball. I always talk about LIFE in the Introversion podcast… and today is no different. Specifically, I get into the power of memories, how achieving greatness (or anything) in life requires sacrifice, the pros and cons of being competitive, the interplay between sports & politics, and what makes life worth living.
Likes & comments welcome as always, and perhaps share this video with Jordan/Bulls fans. If you’ve been enjoying the podcast, please give it a 5-star rating in the Apple Podcasts app. It really helps with the algorithms and all that.

Not the episode I was planning on making/posting this week, but what can I say? I had a few drinks last night...

The first of perhaps many impromptu podcast episodes... just jumped on a call with my good friend J.R. and we got to talking... about crime & (post-?) pandemic life in NYC and Philly. Sounds like right about now he'd prefer his NYC subway shootings to my Philly mask mandates.

It's another fairly *non-topical* (but very personal) episode... I'm really hoping the NEXT episode will be that promised "Love is Blind" breakdown. So stay tuned for that... SUBSCRIBE if you haven't already!

"Happy new year"? Okay well "happy" is not the word for me, but let's just say... I'm ready to let go of 2021 and move forward into the (potentially blissful?) abyss of 2022. Let's get into it.

An episode I didn't really *want* to make, but... I felt the need to do so... as I mourn the loss of our family's black Labrador Retriever, Sharpie.

Tommy Danger... back on the Introversion podcast for the THIRD time this year! I just can't get enough, can you? In a futile attempt to keep this one short and sweet, we *cut it short*... just under 4 hours. If you're easily offended by anything and everything, may want to skip this one, but otherwise... enjoy!

An episode that is neither here nor there... it's a little bit of this, a little bit of that... sort of a bridge between that last (weird) Orlando soliloquy episode and the next few (guest) episodes lined up.

This is my loving tribute to the one, the only... Norm Macdonald. Hilarious? Of course... but today I seek to shed a little light on how inspiring Norm was (to me personally) as a genuine creative soul... someone who remained true to his comedic scruples despite many opposing forces throughout his life.

Today I am rejoined by my good friend J.R. for a brief episode where we follow-up on the prior Henrik episode, further expounding on the vaccine passport issue and other aspects of pandemic life... and we also touch on Nicki Minaj and some other tidbits.

Quite an IN-DEPTH episode today... as I am re-joined by former guest Henrik Mattsson (a Swedish economist living in Canada who’s a COO for an American company). Unlike last time, we're not on the same page any more as he is PRO vaccine passports and I am of course AGAINST them. Listen in as we both make our cases, and decide for yourself... whether you think vaccine passports are ultimately a GOOD or BAD thing for the world.

A change of pace today... as I interview Tyler Burgett... a fellow ex-Christian with a nuanced (and ever-evolving) world view and passion for finding common ground with others. Yes, not all atheists are militant!

Tommy Danger is BACK... and this time, with COVID! Let's hear his first-hand account of getting COVID... how it all went down, and thoughts/reflections in the aftermath.

Today let's discuss the GIVE & TAKE selfless/selfish spectrum. Consider your relationships, job, religion, location, hobbies, education and pretty much every aspect of your life... are you putting more into it than you're getting out of it?

Sometimes I wonder what people think about money. And I wonder whether my views on it are anything like what others’ views are on it. I mean obviously there’s a presupposition that we ALL want MORE money, and yet… (play Mo Money, Mo Problems). And this is what I want to get into today… basically how we evaluate money… what it is, and what it means to us. Also... this whole NFT craze... and how it may shape our society moving forward.

Today I sketched out my situation and trajectory in society. Believe it or not, it's actually quite sensible. Might do a podcast episode on it at some point, but would be highly controversial.

Got emotional watching "Before Sunset" late Wednesday night, so decided to do an impromptu recording with thoughts on the film, but also what led me to want to watch it in the first place. Plus reflections on my romantic history and serious doubts about any romantic future.
