I was once a punk rock DIY comic that survived on tour by sleeping on the side of the road, eating cold breakfast sandwiches, and drinking bottled water. I’m still a comic, and I still do everything myself, but I’ve mostly quit the cold breakfast sandwiches and sleeping on the side-of-the-road bullshit.Now in my mid-forties, I have leaned into my over-the-hill, constantly moderately tired, home depot dad years. I honestly caught myself admiring the sander my neighbour across the street had the other day, and I said to myself, “I fucking want that sander. Goddamn, Marvin has a deadly sander.”This is my audio essay titled “Marvin’s Deadly Sander.” Get full access to Joke Talk Yell Write by Ryan McMahon at joketalkyellwrite.substack.com/subscribe Hosted on Acast.

It occurred to me the other day that I will need to open up my spirit to things I left behind long ago - playdates with other people’s kids that I can’t stand, parent-teacher nights and volunteer work with insufferably boring parents I have nothing in common with, and the wonderful world of discovery, creativity, and play.This is my audio essay on being an “old dad.” Get full access to Joke Talk Yell Write by Ryan McMahon at joketalkyellwrite.substack.com/subscribe Hosted on Acast.
