    IDMC3: Zen of the Poky Little Puppy

    This is a comedy podcast and these are just jokes, mostly. But also a lot of it is true. Remember those Golden Books? Remember who let the dogs out? Remember how it's hard to be a human? Me too.

    IDMC2: The Creepy Single Dad

    "I'm Drinking My Coffee" is a program with a stupid name in which Josh Gaines says what feels true to him about life, sometimes in a funny way. This time he talks about how divorced single dads are often perceived by other partnered parents, then how he went to the local pool with a cranky lady who wiled-out on the underpaid teenage workers. Listen LIVE every Friday morning 10 - 11am PST on Shady Pines Radio: https://www.shadypinesradio.com/shows/zeitheist You can crumple up a five dollar bill and throw it at Josh on Patreon over here.

    IDMC1: Dating Apps and Tinkerbell's P*ssy

    (a comedy podcast by Josh Gaines) Does this even qualify as a show? I don't know. I'm just "Drinking My Coffee" over here and saying things that make me laugh into a microphone. On this one I talk about Tinder and the woes of modern dating, cats in Disney movies and Baby Yoga from The Mandolin show.

    [ARCHIVE] TXTR24: All You Need is OM (AUM)

    Texture returns with a sweeping dismissal of all previous episodes in favor of this, THE NEW GAINES AEON (heh heh, just kidding, kind of). I talk about my history in Evangelical Christianity, delving into the study of the Occult over the past year, and how Ceremonial and Ritual Magick ultimately led me back to the basics: simply Meditating. I talk about how there's been a lot of monetizing of this trendy "new" practice in America and some of the pitfalls of how it's perceived and what it's for, and offer some suggestions as to a higher purpose for sitting and breathing, and how you don't need any of the Spiritual Materialism shit, but simply, your own body and breath. Not coming from the perspective of an expert, merely sharing what I've learned and have found to be helpful.

    [ARCHIVE] TXTR23: Don't Get Lost

    Recorded at 9pm on March 30, 2020, a couple of weeks into the COVID-19 stay-at-home order. A meandering attempt to organize thoughts & be a hymn for good in the midst of the present crisis.

He may or may not still hold to statements, beliefs or ways of phrasing things that he did on these past episodes, even if he's delivering them with utter conviction. That's because, at that moment in time, based upon the circumstances and the information he had available to him, he did sincerely believe, with a pure heart, that those things were true or correct. But people change, their ideas and views expand and take on new form, and that's good, so take everything said with a grain of salt and a lot of compassion.]
