    #48 Sexual Positions at Work, and Why Your Journals Might Traumatize Your Kids

    I try a CIA-style trick to make people spill without asking a single question (and immediately botch it on my kid). I answer five actually-good questions so you can decide if you like me or have had enough. We get honest about journals as future family landmines, mushrooms/Zen and not caring what you think, the first laugh that ruined me at age six, and whether everyone’s quietly miserable (ask their spouse). Also: cocktail party questions that’ll get you uninvited, the gym’s… ambitious leggings trend, and a calorie-torching position I’m absolutely not doing. If something makes you snort, tell me—that’s what stays. If it doesn’t, it dies. Press play and let’s find the 1% worth keeping. https://www.instagram.com/startingstandup https://www.instagram.com/davidwalton https://x.com/davidwalton Email List https://forms.gle/Xyd7Y2sLkbr5dey16

    #47 Bradley Cooper Humbled Me + TRT Side Effects (Yes, T*****s)

    I rewatched A Star Is Born and had to eat my words: for years I thought “I could’ve played those roles,” then Cooper drops a triple-threat and I’m like—nope.  We get into why acting drunk is hard, Vince Vaughn worship, and my delusional Hangover-era confidence. Meanwhile, a frank TRT update: more energy, weird cravings, and yes—titties. DIM, white mushrooms, carrot salad, Florida peptides, headaches, and how “not giving a f*ck” can quietly torpedo your life if you let it. Also: Trader Joe’s culty checkout vibes, boarding school apps, the kid monoculture, accents I should retire, and a quick riff on gratitude/God.

    #46 From Hero to Zero

    In this episode, David returns stone-cold sober and shares stories about parenting his wonderfully unfiltered son. From YouTube 'facts' and Jersey Mike's obsessions to the challenges of raising kids in the digital age, David explores the delicate balance of maintaining honest relationships with children while trying not to completely lose your mind. Plus, a masterclass in why Jersey Mike's employees probably have incredible right arms. https://www.instagram.com/startingstandup https://www.instagram.com/davidwalton https://x.com/davidwalton Email List https://forms.gle/Xyd7Y2sLkbr5dey16
