This week on Uncommon Content... I discuss the constant reminder of my birth, give a shout-out to prison dogs keeping it real, discuss selling temporary pieces of me, and ask for prayers to Our Lady of Guadalupe that I get my passport and start my “old man on a budget” video journey around the globe.

This week on Uncommon Content... I discuss the effectiveness of strategic procrastination when joining the gym, people who are working out furiously to keep up with friends because they are embarrassed to admit they can't afford Ozempic, and how an imaginary 2500 mile ride, ski, and row journey in my head turned into the very real trip around the world on which I am about to embark.

On this episode of Uncommon Content I discuss more writer’s block, tell a few pope jokes, and run a thought experiment on the shitshow that would occur if Trump died in office of natural causes.

Chapter 29 - A Walk In The City

Equal parts shocking and moving, Off the Reservation: Stories I Almost Took to the Grave and Probably Should Have is an absurdist confessional memoir, accurately detailing the reckless hijinks of a bipolar alcoholic with borderline personality disorder. This stranger-than-fiction true story spans over three decades, as Michael recounts his tales with wincing honesty. Eventually, the maniacal nights of booze, drugs, and sex give way to rude awakenings in empty rooms, jail cells, and beds of snow from a failed suicide by Mother Nature. Rossi learns most of his lessons--gradually, reluctantly, painstakingly--without imposing them on anyone. Thankfully for us, these unapologetic, darkly comic tales haven't been taken to the grave just yet.
