    New year, same old AFC

    This week's show is bookended by two stories about how my year ended and began in not so great fashion.

    In between, I discuss a whole bunch of movies and TV shows that I've watched, some topics from the anonymous box including an update from our last episode and I reminisce about a time I got drunk off beer and ruined a role playing game.

    All this and much much more

    Happy new year and thanks for listening!

    Opening song -Winter by Nick Phoenix

    Closing Cover Song - Don't Fear The Reaper by Amazonica

  • Crossing A Line
    Dec 7 2025

    Its the last episode of the year (probaly) and we are doing some WYR, talking about Halloween decorations staying up too long and a listener wants to know if their therapist crossed a line.

    I certainly have some thoughts on this matter but I want to hear what AFC Nation thinks so feel free to weigh in with your opinions in all the usual places.

    All this and much much more.

    Thanks for listening!

    Opening song -Don't Tell The Boys by Petey USA
