S21E9 Twenty-One Miles: The Final Mile
This is the last drive, well I'm actually not driving. Which is the issue at hand... In this farewell episode of Twenty-One Miles, I talk about a recent conversation with my boss, a shift to working from home, and what it means when the road you’ve been traveling suddenly gets shorter.No drama — just a change. Less commute, more work, and a chapter naturally coming to an end. This show started as
S21E8 Twenty-One Miles: Retail Therapy
This week’s drive starts with a quick talk about Twenty-One Miles officially moving to Spotify — and why that feels like the right lane to be in. But the real story is my weekend marathon through bad customer service and the strange patience it teaches you.From long lines to short tempers, this episode’s about what happens when convenience feels like chaos — and how sometimes, all you can do is la
S21E7 Twenty-One Miles: The Pilgrim Pusher
This drive home takes a festive turn as I somehow get labeled The Pilgrim Pusher — apparently the guy who wants to skip Thanksgiving and jump straight to Christmas. Between the traffic, the turkey talk, and the twinkle lights, this episode is part confession, part comedy, and all about timing the holidays just right. Recorded during my Thursday drive, it’s another blend of seasonal chaos, reflecti
S21E6 Twenty-One Miles: Cost of Crypto
In this episode, I take a long, honest drive through my crypto journey — the wins, the mistakes, and the lessons learned. From market hype to harsh reality, it’s a grounded reflection on what investing has meant for me personally, and how I’m planning to move forward without the FOMO.This isn’t financial advice — it’s just one driver’s story about learning to see past the charts and focus on the r
S21E5 Twenty-One Miles: Not Working, Still Driving
A week off doesn’t mean a week off the mic. In this episode, I recap Halloween, talk about KPOP: DEMON HUNTERS, and share what happens when your boss is gone and you decide… maybe you shouldn’t go in either. From spooky season to skipped shifts, it’s another drive full of random thoughts, real talk, and too many tangents to count.
S21E4 Twenty-One Miles: Early Drive
A Halloween morning commute with rain on the windshield and too many thoughts for the early hour. This short drive is more about the moment than the miles — just a few minutes to catch up, share the quiet, and wish everyone a Happy Halloween before the road gets too slick to keep going.
S21E3 Twenty-One Miles: Not Playing Around
This week on Twenty-One Miles, I talk about everything from Halloween plans to maybe stepping on stage for Willy Wonka Jr. — and somewhere between rehearsals and haunted houses, I unpack my ongoing crypto disaster. It’s a mix of chaos, reflection, and roadside honesty as I try (and fail) to keep things on track. Sometimes the drive home isn’t about the destination — it’s about admitting we’re all
S21E2 Twenty-One Miles: Detour in the Dark
Sometimes the road home takes a detour — this time, straight through six haunted houses. In this episode of Twenty-One Miles, I take a quick break from the usual drive to drop you into the chaos, laughs, and jump scares of a haunted night out with friends. Short, raw, and full of the sounds of October. If you’ve ever lost your voice from screaming or laughed your way through fear, this one’s for y
S21E1 Twenty-One Miles: Back on the Road
After a year off the mic, the engine’s running again. In this first ride of 28 Miles, I talk about why I stepped away, what pulled me back, and what this podcast really is — a rolling reflection from the driver’s seat. It’s not about getting somewhere fast; it’s about the thoughts that show up between point A and point B. Whether you’re driving home, zoning out in traffic, or just trying to move f
From Start to Finished
The mic sits still, the room is quiet,Where once the words would ebb and flow,A voice that sparked a vibrant riot,Now gently fades, prepared to go. The episodes, like chapters told,Have carried thoughts through distant ears,With laughter, wisdom, stories bold,Across the months, the weeks, the years. But every journey finds its end,And now the time has come to part,To say farewell, like leaving fri
From Rock to Rolled
The lights go dim, the crowd leans in,A murmur rises through the haze,Anticipation sparks the din,Electric nights and wild displays. The amps hum low, the drumsticks tap,Then suddenly the silence breaks,A burst of sound, a thunderclap,The first chord hits, the whole place quakes. The lead guitar screams through the air,A voice cuts sharp, a primal cry,The bass drum pounds without a care,And bodies
From Judge to Jay
A modern coat for homes to wear,In sheets that gleam and lines so neat,Aluminum stands firm and fair,Against the rain, the snow, the heat. No paint required, no wood to rot,It wraps the frame in silver skin,A sturdy guard, without a thought,Where strength and style both begin. Reflecting sun with subtle gleam,It holds its place through storm and age,A simple yet efficient dream,That shelters us fr
From Art to Artificial
A canvas turns with coded hands,Algorithms brush and blend,The future wakes to new demands,As lines of ones and zeros bend. The human touch, once all we knew,Now meets a force both strange and vast,Where AI dreams in colors, too,And learns to mirror what has passed. Will art evolve, or lose its soul?Can circuits feel, or hearts create?In this new dance, who takes control?And where will fate and vi
From Social to Sheltered
A world that buzzes, clicks, and swipes,Where every moment’s on display,Can pull the mind in endless types,And steal the calm of every day. The scrolling feeds, the constant hum,A flood of faces, voices, news,Can leave the heart and spirit numb,With truths distorted, lies confused. But there’s a place beyond this noise,Where stillness waits, a gentle friend,Away from all the scrolling toys,Where f
From Love to Loss
In every wag, a world of love,Tallulah brought the brightest cheer,A gentle soul, like stars above,Her presence made all shadows clear. Her eyes, a window to the heart,So full of life, so pure and true,With every step, she played her part,In making every moment new. But time, it flows, a river wide,And though we wish to hold it fast,The day arrived, the ebbing tide,Where love must linger in the pa
From Infinity to Beyond
The silver screen once filled with dreams,Now echoes back familiar tales,Where once new worlds burst at the seams,Now sequels sail on well-worn sails. The magic fades, the spark grows dim,As stories told are told again,A cycle where the lights grow slim,And creativity seems to wane. Characters we’ve loved and known,Are called again to tread the stage,Yet something fresh, a seed unsewn,Is lost with
From Tromaville to Krypton
With capes unfurled, the legend flies,A symbol born from ancient lore,Now under James' guiding eyes,He soars anew to heights once more. The Krypton son, in shadows past,Now steps into a light reborn,His future bright, his story vast,A hero for a world reborn. With every frame, a tale retold,Of strength and hope, of heart and might,Yet something fresh within the fold,A vision clear, a shining light
From Iron to Titanium
A universe where heroes rise,And legends weave their fates in time,From skies above to battles nigh,Their stories form a grand design. With iron heart and thunder’s might,The bravest stand to face the night,A tale of hope, of wrong and right,In every clash, a spark of light. The webs are spun, the shields are raised,Through realms of magic, space, and stone,Each hero’s path, a winding maze,Yet nev
From Rigid to Flexible
Golden skin, a crisp embrace,The scent of warmth that fills the air,A feast of flavors, pure and base,In every bite, a love affair. The juices run, so tender, sweet,Each shred of meat, a perfect taste,From first to last, a purest treat,No morsel left to go to waste. The crackling skin, a savory dream,A symphony of roasted bliss,With every bite, a quiet gleam,A comfort found in something this. The
From Padawan to Acolyte
With wide-eyed wonder, lights go dim,A child’s first step to worlds afar,The screen ignites, the chances slim,That life won’t change beneath that star.

The Force awakens in their eyes,As battles rage on distant moons,A symphony of blaster cries,And heroes facin

Where turquoise waters kiss the shore,And golden sands stretch far and free,Cozumel sings, a tale of yore,A paradise where hearts run free.

Palm trees sway in gentle breeze,Their shadows paint the sunlit earth,A tranquil hum, a life at ease,Where every moment finds

Beneath the sky where waters gleam,A ship of plenty rides the waves,With every taste, a gourmet dream,In endless rows that foodies crave.

Buffets stretch far, like oceans wide,With fruits and sweets in colors bold,Where hunger finds no place to hide,As platters

With trembling hands, the cover lifts,A world within, once kept so close,The ink-stained secrets, heart’s small gifts,Now shared where only silence grows. Each word a whisper, soft, discreet,Each line a thread of buried pain,But courage drives these fragile feet,To let the sunlight touch the rain. The pages turn, a life exposed,A soul laid bare in every phrase,The highs, the lows, the fears enclos
From Ranger to Ryan
In the quiet where the echoes sleep,A voice once lively took its rest,Its stories paused, in silence steeped,As listeners yearned, their patience pressed. The mic stood still, the scripts untouched,No laughter, wisdom, or debate,Yet in the void, a bond was clutch'd,The promise that they’d soon relate. The world spun on, but something lacked,A rhythm missed, a beat off-track,Yet hope remained, inta
