"I'm Drinking My Coffee" is a program with a stupid name in which Josh Gaines says what feels true to him about life, sometimes in a funny way. This time he talks about how divorced single dads are often perceived by other partnered parents, then how he went to the local pool with a cranky lady who wiled-out on the underpaid teenage workers.

(a comedy podcast by Josh Gaines) Does this even qualify as a show? I don't know. I'm just "Drinking My Coffee" over here and saying things that make me laugh into a microphone. On this one I talk about Tinder and the woes of modern dating, cats in Disney movies and Baby Yoga from The Mandolin show.   https://thejoshgaines.com/ https://www.patreon.com/thejoshgaines https://www.instagram.com/thejoshgaines/ --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thejoshgaines/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thejoshgaines/support

Texture returns with a sweeping dismissal of all previous episodes in favor of this, THE NEW GAINES AEON (heh heh, just kidding, kind of). I talk about my history in Evangelical Christianity, delving into the study of the Occult over the past year, and how Ceremonial and Ritual Magick ultimately led me back to the basics: simply Meditating. I talk about how there's been a lot of monetizing of this trendy "new" practice in America and some of the pitfalls of how it's perceived and what it's for, and offer some suggestions as to a higher purpose for sitting and breathing, and how you don't need any of the Spiritual Materialism shit, but simply, your own body and breath. Not coming from the perspective of an expert, merely sharing what I've learned and have found to be helpful.
