American Groove - #64 Laughing so Hard

Think of the times in your life where you had a bad experience, and all you wanted afterwards was a good laugh. In this episode, we both have had wild, stressful and insane couple of days. In this 30-minute trip to cloud nine of chatter, fuelled by a bit of devils lettuce aka tobacco. I have had a tendency to change my hair more often then most. Of course, Karissa brought about my hair color change phase last year. We had a moment of reality of toxic work environments, and how it can affect you. Karissa shared her story about her former boss's outlandish behavior. leading to a deeper discussion about the mistreatment of employees in various industries. Also, how upper management at times doesn't take much accountability.

But it doesn't stop there. We're high, and in the mood with a humorous exploration of weirdly named businesses. Including a laugh-out-loud segment on Badcock Home Furniture a chain in Florida. Let me tell you driving around is hilarious, they have the name plaster very large on there trucks. We even draw parallels (Karissa can't get enough of this man). To Pete Davidson's SNL skits, appearances and shows. Getting into the groove of pop culture references. That keep the devils lettuce do it's thing the funny way. Jamming out, or you're tuning in for some work drama. A good laugh or the chuckles over ridiculous store names and it bizarre. Providing a blend of humor and the real tea on what's going on.

Lost in the Groove is my space to explore the real, raw, and unexpected. I started this podcast because I was tired of feeling like nothing ever changes. My therapist once suggested, I write letters to the government to express my frustrations. Then I thought, "Why not create a podcast instead?" Here, I can talk about what I want, with whoever I want, no matter their beliefs. For me, it's about having honest conversations,. Breaking down walls, and getting people to think beyond the surface.

I grew up in a blue-collar family in the suburbs outside New York City, raised as an Orthodox Jew. Leaving the religious community in 2017 was a pivotal moment for me. It allowed me to embrace my identity as an artist, and chart my own path. Who I am today, and what this podcast represents, is deeply tied to my journey. Leaving a community that was a cult; still is. Discovering authenticity, creativity, and independence in myself.

I’m a car enthusiast, an artist, and someone who thrives on creative expression. From old-school rap, and psychedelic rock. To vintage muscle cars and European classics. I’m all about the things that inspire passion.
My co-host, Karissa Andrews, joins me for American Groove. Our segment on stoner culture, and life’s weirder twists. She’s an incredibly talented makeup artist, aesthetician, and candle maker. She brings a spice, pizazz, and realness to every conversation.

This podcast isn’t about chasing fame or conforming to trends, it’s about the experience. I want listener, whether they’re driving home, cooking, or just unwinding. To feel like they’re part of something real. Lost in the Groove is my way of staying true to myself, while connecting with others. learning, and having fun along the way.
