Fatherhood, Fantasy & the Future

In this episode, we dive into one of life's greatest adventures: fatherhood. We share honest conversations about being a single dad, the challenges that come with divorce, and what those changes can look like through the eyes of young children. We talk about the difficult moments, the lessons learned along the way, and why being a father remains one of the most rewarding experiences imaginable. From there, we shift gears into the world of games. We explore the fascinating origins of board games and how games have evolved throughout human history. That naturally leads us into a discussion about Dungeons & Dragons, storytelling, imagination, and why tabletop gaming continues to captivate generations of players. We also take a look at the rapidly changing world of artificial intelligence, discussing Google's Gemini platform, where AI technology is headed, and how tools like AI could reshape the way we work, create, and interact with technology in the years ahead. It's a conversation that jumps from family and fatherhood to fantasy worlds and future technology, filled with personal stories, laughs, and thought-provoking discussion along the way.

Superhero Movies, Xbox Lobbies & Convention Stories

Tonight’s episode is a full dive into everything pop culture. We talked about the glory days of going to movie theaters, why movie clubs used to be the best way to spend a weekend, and our favorite action and superhero movies growing up. From giant blockbuster releases to arguing over which comic book movie still holds up today, this one was packed with nostalgia. We also got into video games, Xbox memories, Call of Duty lobbies, collecting action figures and movie posters, and the culture around Comic-Con. We talked about the people you meet there, celebrity encounters, cosplay, and what makes conventions such a unique experience for fans. Of course, no great conversation is complete without food talk, so we debated the best places to eat, favorite comfort foods, and the spots that are actually worth the hype. Somewhere along the way we also questioned whether cutting the cord from cable was really the smart move after all. Between endless streaming services, subscriptions, and trying to find where anything is actually playing, maybe cable wasn’t so bad. A fun laid-back episode full of nostalgia, laughs, gaming memories, movies, collectibles, conventions, and random tangents.

Old Friends, Old Stories, Same Campfire

This episode of the More Donut Podcast is all about friendship, memories, and the traditions that keep us coming back. We talk about our annual fishing trip — a tradition we’ve kept alive for over 40 years — and the stories, laughs, and brotherhood that have come with it along the way. From reminiscing about how life was different back in the day to sharing some of our favorite camp memories, this one is packed with nostalgia and good times. We get into how friendships change over the years but somehow stay the same at their core, debate camp cooking versus going out to eat, and laugh about the reality of getting older — dealing with health concerns now after spending our younger years feeling completely invincible. It’s a conversation about growing up, growing older, and appreciating the people and traditions that make life special. A mix of laughs, stories from the old days, and honest talk about life, aging, and friendship — this is one for anyone who knows the value of old friends and a good campfire.

Ribs, Retirement & Real Life, From Halloween Glory Days to Heart Attack Warnings

This episode of the More Donut Podcast goes deep into what life was really like growing up in the late 70s and 80s — from the way Halloween used to feel like a major event, to how friendships slowly drift apart as life moves on. We talk about the reality of staying married for 40+ years, working brutal long-hour jobs, and what retirement actually feels like after decades of grinding. The conversation also turns toward backyard BBQ culture: smoking ribs and meats, creating homemade BBQ sauces, and judging BBQ cook-offs. We also talk about the Brookville Community Picnic happening July 24th–26th. The episode takes a serious turn as we discuss legalizing drugs, getting older, and what a heart attack really feels like — including warning signs people often ignore. A mix of nostalgia, hard truths, blue-collar life stories, BBQ talk, and real conversations about getting older.

UAPs, Tragedy, and the Human Side of the Story

In this episode, we dive into a series of unsettling stories surrounding scientists who have died or gone missing under unusual circumstances. Are these cases connected, or simply tragic coincidences? We explore the ongoing UAP controversy, the theories that have emerged around it, and why some believe there may be more beneath the surface. At the same time, we take a step back to talk about the human side of these stories—looking at the real pressures, struggles, and mental health challenges that can affect anyone, even those at the top of their field. This conversation blends mystery, speculation, and reality—asking difficult questions while keeping the focus on understanding, not just theories.

Ken's birthday trip

Ken and I met up with three of Ken's friends for a birthday trip to Mississippi and what a birthday it was. Friends were made, drinks were drank and the weekend was full of firsts. New Orleans some how becomes a plot point and I end up not being able to handle the nights festivities.

Lucky Marbles is back

Jessica and I talk about Haley Beck and sexual assault in schools and all around us. This one gets real and some of it was hard for me to learn. Life is never what you had hoped it would be and sometimes we are not the parents we thought we were.
