The Intelligently Resigned Show
While people can be annoying, individuals and their stories can be interesting and relatable. The Intelligently Resigned Show is one dude's attempt to get at those stories. I sit down in all kinds of settings to talk to all kinds of people about all kinds of things. I utilize my 'How the hell did you end up here' style of interview to learn about where my guest grew up, if their parents were pricks, if they got laid in high school, and what the hell they are up to now.......you know, the important stuff. In the process, we learn about their views and I find inopportune moments to crow-bar in my own stories and opinions. So set your standards to "Low" and get to know some of the interesting people I've met along the way.
The Handy-Capable Cousin, Ozzie

Adrian is happy to be back in the San Fernando Valley to sit down with his cousin Ozzie to bust balls n crack wise. Ozzie was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and he tells us about what that has meant for him as a man and the father of two little girls. They reminisce just a bit, Adrian makes fun of his tattoos and religion, and takes advantage that Ozzie is hopped up on meds. Ozzie talking about ending up handy-capable is not completely depressing as he tells us about a new treatment he had just started to help his body rebuild. Here's hopin.

Thee Chris Murray

Adrian is quite excited that one of his favorite musical artists, Chris Murray, accepted his random Facebook invitation to do some pod! We sit down with Chris at a park bench in Honolulu with a six pack and we talk story. We learn about Chris growing up in Toronto, playing the reggae around the world and some of his broader views on some aspects of society. The guy is wise beyond his years. We also take a break to hear a couple sweet jams off the Chris Murray Combo album Why So Rude.

The Ag-tivist, Ashley

Adrian is happy, but a little reluctant, to get schooled on the whole GMO/Pesticide thing going on in Hawaii. His friend, The Ag-tivist, Ashley, is the Director at the Hawaii Center for Food Safety and she tells us about the influx of chemical-agricultural companies taking up prime Ag land and spraying pesticides near schools.  ...so Alooooooo-ha!  Ashley also tells us about the unique role Hawaii plays in this whole debate and updates us on the current legal battle taking place on Maui. She has some great insight into a debate that just got a whole lot less complicated.

The Comedian, Jose

Adrian is stoked to join one of Honolulu's premier comedians, Jose Dynamite, at the ever-so-awesome O'Toole's pub to talk about waaaaaay too much, starting with his successful stand-up career, as an appetizer. ...Jose Dynamite then plops some serious parenting "knowledge" onto Adrian's lil head, most of which is unethical, but that doesnt matter to either of these rediculous dads. Get ready to learn nothing you've ever wanted to know about raising stepkids, GD teenagers, and how hard to hit them. Jose is also the intertron's youngest GRANDPAS, so there's also some useless knowledge for all you future grandparents out there...

Adrian is in the heart of downtown Honolulu to learn more about the city's scandolous past from his new friend, Carter. She is the creator and tour guide for The Honolulu Exposed Tours, the WW II Red-Light District Tour. After learning a little about how the hell Carter ended up in Honolulu, we hop into the time machine and Carter takes us a simpler time, when the booze was cheap, prostitutes were even cheaper and sailors took full advantage. Carter gives us great insight as to some of the lesser-known goings-on of this great city and somehow, just by hearing these stories, Adrian got the clap.

Adrian comes out of the house, not the closet, with his wife, Caitlin, and his son, Ruben, to check out the Honolulu Pride Parade. They do a little color commentary on the parade, talk about the upcoming birth of their 2nd son, and throw in a little talk about Caitlyn Jenner for good measure. Adrian then interviews one of the fundamentalist christians that are also at the parade to remind everyone that they are gonna burn in hell if they dont stop with all the gay.

Adrian sits down with one of the gay guys, Michael, and we are told a little about when Michael realized he wasnt quite like the other boys. Michael tells Adrian about his life as a political activist, fighting for marriage equality in Hawaii, reparative therapy and his time working on the Pride Parade in Honolulu. He also takes a couple questions from a born-again christian guy.
