PET SQUARES: A GEEK’S GUIDE TO THE BEACH BOYS is back from hiatus! Episode 26 is all about “Good Vibrations,” Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys’ 1966 creative and commercial peak, and the beginning of our look at the mysterious SMiLE era.

ICYMI...it's doing a bit better than the last one at least, and if it gets over 500 views that's a signal it's viable to do another one. Enjoy!

I agree with the sentiments in this video. Take whatever strategy you need to do to survive, but never knuckle under to a bully. Otherwise you will never own your own life again. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNKa...

Unquestionably the best long-form video I ever made: an hour-long deep dive trying to solve a perplexing mystery of a lost hiker in the California desert. If you like a complicated puzzle and desert scenery, this is for you. (There is a part 1 but it's not critical to see) youtu.be/2J9wsJb8P1Y

A new episode of EXPAT CURIOUS. youtu.be/rFe4jM0iFWw

The KarmaFrog1 channel is also at a turning point. I want a new direction for the channel - something more immediate/interactive. PET SQUARES will continue, and ADAM WALKS AROUND will return for a few more eps.

I welcome your ideas.

New passport today! 10 more years to not have to be in the U.S.

I've made it! Not only does my wikipedia page no longer have a warning that I might not be important enough to have one (true, actually), but it's now been revised with a completely erroneous birthdate. I'm gonna run with that from here on in, so nobody go changin' it.

Finally! The last installment of PET SQUARES' 7-part examination of the Beach Boys' PET SOUNDS is up. I believe it is the most exhaustive, comprehensive look at the album on youTube. Have a look if you need a break from world events. :)

For fans of my Beach Boys analysis youTube show PET SQUARES, the final installment of our exhaustive 7-part look at PET SOUNDS is about half-edited. I'm shooting for a Tuesday release.

Bullies intimidate to cover weakness. They usually have poor, well-hidden fundamentals. In matters large and small, do not forget this. It's easy to get caught up in a Blitzkrieg of bullshit that obscures the wuss within.

Good to know.
January 18, 2025 at 7:03 PM
If you derive your strength from worshipping a leader or by your own sense of cruelty, then I know you are really weak as shit. People with any kind of spine don't do that. Without a mob to hide behind, you will fold like a washed-up gambler holding two deuces and a queen.

The 6th season debut of ADAM WALKS AROUND pretty much bombed, but it has at least risen to 5th least watched episode of the series (from dead last). 4 views would get it 6th in the bottom 10, so giving it a repost. It's really good, honest. Beautiful scenery and some mystery. youtu.be/d_4hu5zrcf0
