Old Games, New Hardware, No Apologies
I’ve never really been a console gamer. Between accessibility, twitch-heavy modern games, and a lifetime of DOS classics, I decided to build the ultimate retro gaming computer—modern hardware dedicated to old-school games, a 40-inch wall-mounted monitor, and zero apologies.
How I Put Together Rolling with Scissors
People often ask how Rolling with Scissors actually comes together each week. This is a look inside my home broadcast studio, the gear and software I rely on, and the workflow that turns a deep-dive idea into a finished three-hour radio show—built for reliability, control, and real radio sound.
An Open Letter to the Listeners of Rolling with Scissors
Some people drift into your life like a glitch in the system and leave behind nothing but smoke, strange music, and unanswered questions. This is the story of Agent K — a familiar stranger returning to the Rolling with Scissors airwaves with monthly sets that defy explanation and resist intros.
Maybe It’s Time We Talk About This
Recent events in Minneapolis have raised uncomfortable questions about federal authority, accountability, and how easily extraordinary measures can become normalized.

Starting in 2026, the show will commit to true, full-catalog deep dives that explore not just the hits, but the risks, reinventions, and forgotten corners that shaped the music we love.
Forty-Eight Is Fucking With My Head
My body figured out I was getting older years ago. My brain didn’t. Turning 48 forced a reckoning—an honest inventory of what I’ve done, what I missed, and how fast time moves when you’re not paying attention.
We Were Warned
Rewatching The Terminator in 2026 doesn’t feel like nostalgia anymore—it feels like watching a warning we ignored. Judgment Day didn’t arrive in fire. It arrived quietly, disguised as efficiency, automation, and progress.
Wait. Nick Torres Is Fez?!
I was casually watching Grey’s Anatomy when my girlfriend casually detonated my brain: Nick Torres from NCIS is the same actor who played Fez on That ’70s Show. I have not emotionally recovered. This is a story about pop-culture betrayal, delayed realizations, and why some facts should come with a warning label.
