Ever wondered what it’s like to leave college on a whim and embrace the unpredictable path of adventure? Step into my shoes as we share a nostalgic tale from decades ago, where a cold winter in Colorado turned into a journey filled with unexpected twists. From sleeping in a truck to a surprising night in a New Mexico jail, this chapter is a mix of humor and heartfelt moments. Grandpap's costly rescue attempt, with the help of his business partner Roddy, not only highlights family kindness but also adds a hilarious twist to the narrative.
Friendships and relationships can be a maze of complexities, and this episode dives right into it.

DISCLAIMER: This podcast contains material that might prove to be sexually explicit to certain viewers. The average man thinks about sex every 7 seconds. Karl is an average man, but he has something that you probably don’t have. He has schizophrenia, a disorder that affects a person's ability to think, feel, and behave clearly. The exact cause of schizophrenia isn't known, but a combination of genetics, environment, and altered brain chemistry and structure may play a role. Schizophrenia is characterized by thoughts or experiences that seem out of touch with reality, disorganized speech or behavior, and decreased participation in daily activities. Difficulty with concentration and memory may also be present. Treatment is usually lifelong and often involves a combination of medications, psychotherapy, and coordinated specialty care services. We hope you find him as endearing as we do.
