Episode 87

American Groove - #87 Martian Daydream

A journey into the center of our mind. Where absurd fucks... sorry meets random shit. We kicked off reminiscing about the simpler times of Walmart trips. How the world felt less… bankrupt n' more fun. Then, things went into space talk—Mars launches, futuristic daydreams. Whether the 1960s vibe could ever make a comeback, please.

Spoiler: we're optimistic, with a sprinkle of doubt, with a dash of what the fuck.

It’s all about cinnamon-apple cookies, childhood gaming consoles, and squishy dream drops. that sound way more risqué than intended (don’t ask). We even touched on Joe Biden's battery life (spoiler: it’s questionable). Grab a snack, light up, and get lost in the grooves of this comforting insanity. Peace, love, and cinnamon apples, Oh baby!

re going through now was like:

00:53.72

Lost in the Groove Podcast

like we may and I was telling you this yesterday, I'm like, can you imagine if we can live in America that is like as nostalgic as when we were kids, you know when going to Walmart wasn't like, oh my God, I'm trading my bank account.

01:09.09

why not

what you really think it could get that good again?

01:09.41

Lost in the Groove Podcast

I think so with a little bit of work and effort.

01:18.40

why not

I know I'm kind of like negative. I kind of think that it's like, yeah, pessimistic is a good word.

01:22.09

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Pessimistic yeah Right

01:24.74

why not

I kind of think like it's too far gone. But I also never in a million years thought that like Trump would win the presidency. So like, i I've definitely had a lot of like negative negative, pessimistic opinions about things that I've been proved wrong about. I started to be proved wrong much, much more often, I would say around the age of

01:52.04

why not

28. I would say 28 is when I started to like be so jaded that I started to think that things don't often have a good outcome. And that's when I started to be like, yeah, no, that's not gonna happen.

02:05.85

why not

Like the more likely thing to happen is like the shitty outcome.

02:06.25

Lost in the Groove Podcast

well well the thing is for me like my eye-opening moment was when my dad died and like yeah there was a lot of factors like the fact that he wasn't the healthiest most individual but like that was kind of like the pinnacle for me it was like I no longer trust government like I don't trust fucking shit that comes out of their mouth like at all then It's not because I don't believe them or anything. It's like they just keep on fucking lying over and over again. You know, and like you kind of get to a point where you're like, you know what? I'm just not I'm not playing this game anymore. It's not I'm just not doing it.

02:48.22

why not

Yeah, I kind of quit, but like, I don't know, you seem to have like a little bit more of an interest in the politicians than you did a little minute ago.

02:55.82

Lost in the Groove Podcast

I'm more interested in like. The spacecraft and shit. Things that interest, I'm i like more interested in fascinating things that fascinate me.

03:06.41

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Can you imagine how many people are putting those up in their butt? Like, I'm sure a lot of people, they're like, you know what?

07:51.26

That's not a good idea, because there's no way to get it out.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

I don't think so either, but they're gonna be people that are gonna do that. Hmm?

07:57.04

People are going to put it in their body, right? That's not where I was going with this, OK? but like theyre

08:02.97

Lost in the Groove Podcast

I'm high, honey, what do you what you expect from me?

08:04.10

Do not do not put this in a butt because it won't come out It won't come out and you could push and try to like poop it out, but it won't come out.

08:07.46

Lost in the Groove Podcast

But there are people that have put it in the butt. Ooh. esh

08:15.80

08:28.18

Lost in the Groove Podcast

oh my god yeah it's got like the point you know the tip like almost like it's a sex toy you know like ready to use out of the box that is a fucking small ass implant

08:34.38

why not

I showed it ah showed it to Brett and he was like, is that a fucking implant?

08:45.43

why not

Yeah, it but it would be it would make a difference for me. like It would add a lot of boob.

08:50.91

Lost in the Groove Podcast

You would need like a permanently to use torpedo bras in order for like that to be a practical like boob lift. You know what boob lift that that's what it would be. It would be a boob lift.

09:03.57

why not

I don't know, it's not the right shape. Um, really.

09:06.63

Lost in the Groove Podcast

It does look like a droplet, like a very perfectly shaped droplet.

09:09.05

Yes. It's a drop.

09:11.74

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Oh, my God.

09:12.07

Lost in the Groove Podcast

How much are they?

09:23.80

Is that the coolest thing ever on Amazon? It was a little bit more, but they shipped it like to my house.

09:32.70

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Obviously. It's like eight bucks.

09:34.71

09:48.18

Lost in the Groove Podcast

We have one. We have one where I grew up. we used to call It was called Amazing Savings. so No, it was expensive.

09:54.39

Oh, this isn't like a saving store. This place is expensive as fuck.

09:59.87

Lost in the Groove Podcast

like It was a store that had everything. like Everything and anything you can think of, they had it.

10:05.18

why not

Okay well I'm obsessed with this nido. I feel like I still didn't really explain what it looks like. It does look like a raindrop on the yeah it's like this like gel and like before I touched one I didn't realize like how much strength it would take to like squeeze it but see me squeeze it.

10:14.43

Lost in the Groove Podcast

What the hell is in there?

10:28.49

Lost in the Groove Podcast

okay tell me now that this is not a sex toy like anywhere that sees this is just gonna be like but it goes back to

10:34.76

why not

you know what's really yeah what's really cool is that you like squish it out like like a lot and then you can like put it in its thing and it'll always go back to its like thing like look at it going it's like a drop again oh i just this i This brings me a lot of joy, this like weird little thingy.

11:02.18

why not

Plus it's like really good for my like hands and like wrists and like shoulder muscles.

11:09.11

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Just imagine somebody being like, you know what? Before I start anything with you, I got to need out my drop. they Need it out real good.

11:21.54

Lost in the Groove Podcast

I need to spread it on the table. I got to give it a little bit of sugar. I got to make sure my fingers go to the right place.

11:33.40

Lost in the Groove Podcast

I got to exercise those fingers.

11:36.39

why not

you using the needle to warm up. You just keep trying to turn this thing into a sex toy. And it's really just kind of like a fidget spinner. Like it's really just for your nervous system to kind of like play with.

11:51.58

why not

I feel like a lot of us are like trapped.

11:52.29

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Honey you show me drop I see sex toy I mean Hey

11:54.57

why not

I'm trapped.

12:02.75

why not

This thing is really cool.

12:03.08

Lost in the Groove Podcast

before, before. Hmm. Again, warm up, you know, get a little fingers ready. You know, you do a little squeeze, you put it down on the stand and do your dirty business.

12:13.58

why not

It's it's ah probably mostly a children's toy, but I happen to like super, super love it.

12:17.87

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Yeah.

12:20.26

why not

But this is it, the nido drop. Yeah.

12:22.84

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Do you know how many toys these days like grown-ass adults love like think about Lego for example Okay, let's be real with ourselves like Legos probably like biggest consumer.

12:33.86

Lost in the Groove Podcast

It's probably kids But it's also adults

12:36.07

why not

Those LEGO sets cost way too much money. But like whoever came up with that is the smartest person ever. Because LEGOs are super nostalgic, and then like older people are the people with the money. So like it was really smart to make high-end LEGO sets. But I have to say that the LEGO sets cost way too much. like I'm sorry. LEGO sets should not be like sold for $300 to $500, no matter what the fuck it is.

13:04.31

why not

Like unless like you're like building an actual like thing like out of Legos, I still just think no, they're charging too much for the Lego sets. Mostly because I can't afford them.

13:16.86

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Yeah. But do you know something that was kind of nostalgic? I remember like even with Toys R Us, they used to have years ago. They have what was called um kind of like around this time of year, they had a ah blockbuster deal where you can get a Nintendo DS Lite. I'll never forget this. A Nintendo DS Lite, two games,

13:46.61

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Case and a battery charger because back then you could like I think you could change out the battery or something and Oh, and then also one Game Boy game and like all that shit was a hundred and fifty dollars 155 Not GameStop this was Toys R Us Toys R Us used to kick Game Stop's ass

14:04.42

why not

Dude GameStop is super sad.

14:14.45

why not

no

14:15.56

Lost in the Groove Podcast

You know, like, I...

14:16.50

why not

Well GameStop used to be different but yeah Toys R Us was the bomb.

14:20.03

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Game stuff used to be amazing.

14:22.10

why not

Yeah yeah.

14:22.21

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Like, there was a time you can go in there and get, like, an like literally, you'd walk in there and get, like, the most awesomest games ever. And, like, they were cheap, you know?

14:29.38

why not

Mm hmm. We used to have a lot of fun playing games. Yeah. I told you I learned how to play Call of Duty, right? I tell you about that. It's super weird.

14:38.73

Lost in the Groove Podcast

There was a time, like, people kind of forget, like, yeah, the console was expensive, but... It was a lot cheaper to game. I mean we used to pay like 30, 40 bucks.

14:48.41

why not

Yeah, it was cheap.

14:48.51

Lost in the Groove Podcast

come Girl, I remember when the PS3 was like what? $300?

14:55.45

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Somewhere like there.

14:55.77

why not

xpensive probably around like:

14:56.37

Lost in the Groove Podcast

It was like 300 bucks.

15:19.06

why not

somewhat doable. And then I feel like when the Wii came out and the PS3, it was done. Xbox has cost way too much money, like from the get go.

15:30.93

Lost in the Groove Podcast

I love the PS3. Like, personally, if i if I have to pick my favorite game consoles of all time, GameCube, PS3, and Xbox 360.

15:33.36

why not

Yeah, it was really good.

15:40.10

why not

Yeah, I like that thing.

15:44.75

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Girl, Xbox 360 and Kinect was the shit, okay?

15:50.04

why not

The Xbox 360 was big stuff. Yeah, that's true.

15:53.33

Lost in the Groove Podcast

It was so fun. And there was somebody like, you were talking about Call of Duty, there was GTA, there was Need for Speed, there was Forza. um Those are all like the games and stuff that I played with.

16:05.08

why not

Madden.

16:05.88

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Yeah, Madden was another one. There was just, I don't know, like I kind of miss those days.

16:09.58

why not

It goes on and on and on.

16:13.49

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Like, there's that level of nostalgia, like,

16:15.38

why not

Yeah.

16:17.13

Lost in the Groove Podcast

They didn't have to be fucking pretty for us to play them. They were just fun, you know? You got into the zone and you just kind of went with it.

16:24.86

why not

Yeah, I used to have a lot of fun playing games. I mean, I always used to play ah Mario Kart and that was like my go to. I felt like a huge disconnect with games once like it started, you know, like to become difficult to operate all the controls.

16:42.31

why not

Then I was like, oh, I can't do all this. um

16:44.88

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Yeah, you remember like cuz with the game GameCube like you remember the GameCube controller like Stupid easy like it was big enough and long enough that like you could literally give two sides You never had to worry about like them meshing at all but

16:59.76

why not

Yeah, I don't know. Sometimes when I play Call of Duty, like i my hands are like not strong enough for it, which is like ridiculous, but like my thumb is like dying like halfway through like any like serious round.

17:14.17

Lost in the Groove Podcast

i feel you

17:15.58

why not

My thumb hurts so bad, my poor little left thumb.

17:15.65

Lost in the Groove Podcast

every a

17:18.50

why not

I'm like, can't I just run with like any of my other fingers? I'm like, no, you can only use your thumb. And it's like, does everybody else just have these big like man thumbs or something?

17:31.42

why not

Like, I hate it. I i wish that I could just like run with any other button. um I'm already doing a lot with the thumb, like,

17:38.65

Lost in the Groove Podcast

I feel you.

17:42.45

why not

I don't know. It's really annoying. Um, it almost makes me not want to play the game at all, just cause it's like, it doesn't feel good.

17:47.02

Lost in the Groove Podcast

um um

17:49.49

why not

Like I can't just like zone out and play my hand charts.

17:49.57

Lost in the Groove Podcast

No, I'm I ah Used to feel that way of like honestly about like Mario Party because like they were there they're honestly like back in the day like with the Nintendo DS they used to have Mario Party and I Mean to be honest like the Wii Mario Party was fun the problem was like you had to be like interactive with it and it's like

17:52.69

why not

ah

18:14.56

why not

Yeah, it took like a lot of work. Like you're like, fuck this fucking thing.

18:16.88

Lost in the Groove Podcast

right yeah it was shaking and the moving okay yeah so i'm not alone with this oh and you literally went like before to like literally doing this on like a tiny screen right or like just a controller on a gamecube and you're like uh and now you're just like the and it was just it was wild and even with like mario kart like for the wee

18:18.86

why not

Like you're like beating it. You're like, ah, I do remember where you're just like, oh my God.

18:28.20

why not

A little bunch of buttons. Yeah.

18:41.12

why not

Yeah, we was fun. Yeah.

18:43.38

Lost in the Groove Podcast

It had to like, you have to use a steering wheel. Do you remember that shit?

18:46.25

why not

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

18:46.62

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Remember when you used to use a steering wheel for Mario Kart? I was like, what? What do you mean? What is this?

18:53.27

why not

It's still really fun. I don't know. I appreciate it. I thought the Wii stuff was really cool. I remember playing Wii bowling for the first time.

19:00.28

Lost in the Groove Podcast

It was, it was fun. Yeah. And you had to like throw the switch.

19:07.03

why not

Yeah.

19:07.14

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Oh my God, this is so cool.

19:08.28

why not

No, it was really, really cool. Like the first time, because I feel like that was like, that was definitely the first time that there was ever anything like that. Like duck hunt would be the only other example of like where you had like a controller or like an object that would like shoot towards the screen and it would actually like pick it up.

19:30.71

why not

Like it was that type of interactive, but I remember it took them a long time to bring the Wii out. Like everybody talked about it for years before it actually like surfaced.

19:39.65

Lost in the Groove Podcast

For years.

19:43.12

why not

And when it surfaced, it had kind of like a weird reveal. Like people were like, Oh, you bought one of those? Yeah, I found one.

19:50.94

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Yeah, that.

19:51.81

why not

Like it was kind of like, Oh, okay. Like it was, it was different. Like it was like,

19:55.80

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Was like very random.

19:57.32

why not

No, like, actual, like, now it's available. Like, it was like this weird kind of, like, it trickled in.

20:04.16

Lost in the Groove Podcast

ah My my uncle, his second wife, her family, they got a Wii. And when we were there in New Jersey, we literally went downstairs and I were like remember that, I was like, oh my God, you you have a Wii.

It's so much fun, yeah.

20:22.42

Lost in the Groove Podcast

And they're like, yeah, you want to play? And I was like, oh my God, I love them.

It's great for entertaining guests.

20:28.68

Lost in the Groove Podcast

It's oh my God, it's so fun.

20:29.22

25:04.94

25:06.93

Lost in the Groove Podcast

he Yeah, oh my god. Before the intercourse.

25:11.76

25:15.35

why not

Um, I love, I love asking my students if things are still relevant or not.

25:16.09

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Hey, at least I'm not the only one that made this episode sexual. Yeah.

25:24.24

Lost in the Groove Podcast

No, never, absolutely not.

25:26.42

why not

Yeah. So like most of my students are like 18, 19 years old. So I'll sometimes run things past them. Like anybody ever heard of this? Like just to see like what's relevant and what's not.

25:37.56

Lost in the Groove Podcast

They have like a new slang, by the way, and I like, I totally don't get it.

25:41.15

why not

What is what?

25:41.42

Lost in the Groove Podcast

you Like they have new words that they use.

25:44.09

why not

Oh yeah. Everybody knows they got their dumb ass words. The thing is, is like we had words too, but they weren't like retarded.

25:48.27

Lost in the Groove Podcast

we

25:53.41

why not

I know you're not supposed to say retarded. God.

25:55.76

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Yeah, but we used to say retarded.

25:56.36

why not

You know what I mean, but like yeah we used to say, yeah but when I say retarded, I don't mean retarded.

25:57.08

Lost in the Groove Podcast

We used to say like retarded and dumb, like you so dumb.

26:02.90

why not

We all know that, but yeah, we don't sound like idiots when we say our words basically. um And so i I feel like the people, I feel like there's a reason why you use full sentences when you respond to people and it's,

26:25.79

why not

to show like respect and because like communicate.

26:29.36

Lost in the Groove Podcast

and you can be able to proceed with a flowing conversation. Yeah.

26:33.52

why not

Yeah, and I feel like a lot of these like what I notice as like the new way to talk is just these like one word answers. um It's not so much like, like slang, it's almost just like ways to deflect communication.

26:51.58

why not

I don't, does that make sense to you? But I do think that some of it is slang, but like sometimes it is just like like things that just shut down back and forth.

27:03.95

why not

like

27:04.13

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Mm-hmm It's really wild because I I'm the kind of okay. I'm the kind of person That it's kind of almost old-timey, you know, like I'm in my 20s, but I kind of a little bit act a little older from my age and I i like I have a very sliver amount of patience. But like I too am surrounded by 18, 19 year olds. What's kind of odd is you get those 18, 19, 20 year olds that don't even act 18, 19. Like they act older than what they are. And I find it so fascinating because they too have like, you know, their own slang, their own like thing going on. Like they all like no shit.

27:58.43

Lost in the Groove Podcast

all these people listen to is rap. That's it.

28:02.79

why not

Yeah, it's But it's almost like some of them like country music too.

28:03.36

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Yeah, there's no other genre of music. Yeah.

28:10.26

why not

Have you noticed this?

28:10.80

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Yeah, I've noticed that too. And I, I love country.

28:12.52

why not

Yeah. Yeah, yeah it's okay.

28:14.53

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Listen.

28:15.88

why not

Some of it.

28:18.40

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Yeah, I ah like

28:20.26

why not

I had some help.

28:23.90

why not

Anyways, country songs.

28:24.67

Lost in the Groove Podcast

If you, eat girl, if you want me to get something, I can get it as soon as you want, but I got my limits.

28:31.34

why not

No, did you listen to the one that I sent you yesterday?

28:31.59

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Yeah.

28:34.31

Lost in the Groove Podcast

ah I, I listened to like, ah no, I listened to like a little bit of it and I'm

28:35.52

why not

You don't have to.

28:40.31

why not

It's the chorus that's actually good. The beginning of the song isn't really the best part.

28:44.84

Lost in the Groove Podcast

going to have to check it out.

28:45.84

why not

You don't have to, but that girl, like that girl, that girl is like what Taylor Swift used to be when Taylor Swift wasn't Taylor Swift yet.

28:47.54

Lost in the Groove Podcast

No, I want to. Hey, honey.

28:55.09

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Well, Taylor Swift has kind of, like, had her different stages, right? Like, she's had her moments where she, like, wanted to make a pop album and then a country album. Um... I mean, she kind of has anything with Beyoncé, too. Like, she did make a country album, even though she's not a country singer.

29:10.22

why not

Have you heard people say that that Beyonce album is actually like a bunch of like some bliminal messages?

29:19.20

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Possibly. I mean, she is a part of the Illuminati. She probably is been a appointed of the queen. at this point so I'm sure totally agree they probably would you know like if you have supreme leaders being the ultimate elite of the lizard people like they probably would just eat you or feed you to the ancient alligator kingdom so or the aliens that live in the ocean so

29:26.69

why not

Can you imagine if like you were like the queen of the Illuminati but then they like fired you?

29:52.33

why not

I still want to hear like Kamala Harris be like, they told me that I was going to win.

29:59.63

Lost in the Groove Podcast

I think what was really hilarious is I think Joe Biden got the biggest kick out of all of us.

30:04.96

why not

love her lucy No, I think, I think they might've possibly won if they'd just left him there.

30:10.91

Lost in the Groove Podcast

He's a fight. He's a.

30:20.57

Lost in the Groove Podcast

I. I question how alive the man really is, you know,

30:28.98

why not

He's alive!

30:31.06

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Yeah, I would probably say it is 72 percent capacity at this point like his battery is dying It's fizzling it's But it is But i I you know what I hate to say is I think he kind of like wants this to happen, you know No, he wants Trump to he's happy that Trump won

30:43.16

why not

I don't know, it's sad. I hate thinking about death recently. It bothers me. What, he wants to die?

31:01.89

why not

That's funny. What? Cause he hates all the people who could want that.

31:05.19

Lost in the Groove Podcast

They screwed him! Like, they came for him and he was like, what the hell with you?

31:11.22

why not

Yeah, I feel that you think Joe Biden like went and like voted for Trump.

31:11.31

Lost in the Groove Podcast

I put in my vote for Joe Biden.

31:16.74

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Oh, yeah. Oh.

31:19.89

31:25.38

Lost in the Groove Podcast

They probably do.

31:26.53

why not

Yeah, they do. They actually do. They get to submit a vote for them.

31:31.78

Lost in the Groove Podcast

31:43.03

Lost in the Groove Podcast

31:45.92

why not

Sorry.

31:47.49

Dave lennon

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.
