American Groove - #69 Shirtless Shenanigans

We dive deep into a whirlwind of the hilarious and offbeat schmooze. Even though, we couldn't quite remember what this episode was about after recording! It started with a weird wardrobe malfunction. Leading to a modest debate about buttoning shirts and sexy Calvin Klein tops. Feeling the full force of 90s fashion. As p[er tradition, theirs banter and back and forth. staying stylish, and gay as hell to the wonderful quirks of pet ownership. Highlighting on the story about about Louis's antics with a rubber chicken. We gotta talk about at least once per episode, come on.

Moving into, exploring relationships, sexuality, and the dynamic. From honesty in friendships and marriages, and why its important. Particularly focusing on the concept of "straight men" experimenting with their sexuality. Also, reflecting on how pride activities can cater to both extroverts and introverts. Pointing out, the importance of creating inclusive environments for everyone. Still being able to respect each others privacy. This is wild ride navigating through fashion debates, meaningful reflections, and finding love. The hilarity that comes to mind, with not remembering what we talked about. all while enjoying the buzz of good company and great devils lettuce.

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.
