Danger, Vicious Dog

Started updating my bio Dec 31, 2023. Accidentally wrote four autofiction books. Slid from narrative into monologue—not stream-of-consciousness, more like speech-speed meaning performance. Trained my voice into AI, produced a shit-ton of pieces. Had too many. Needed a place to dump them. Saw a sign that said “Beware, Vicious Dog!” Misread it. Named the podcast Danger, Vicious Dog. Didn’t fix it. Just kept going. Queer. Cosmic. Sarcastic. Cheap. Accidentally committed to the bit. Some voice and art

2026/06/20

A calm, affectless recounting of a queer encounter that never quite becomes what it pretends to be. Glitch‑piano dissociation, transactional intimacy, and the strange safety of being seen by someone who isn’t really looking. A story about performance, context, and the parts of ourselves we invent just to have something to transform.

This may be the first episode I’ve ever made that contains no trauma.None.No childhood trauma.No political trauma.No societal trauma.No trauma involving sexuality.No trauma involving addiction.No trauma involving religion.No trauma involving genocide.No trauma involving the collapse of meaning.No trauma involving being gay in the 1980s.Actually, wait.There is a story about being gay in the 1980s.But that’s not trauma.It’s just a story about meeting a friend when I was a senior in high school and he

Welcome back to Season 7: Associative Human Superpowers on Display (Do Not Touch!) — the season where every episode is a controlled detonation of the human mind’s ability to connect things that should never be in the same room together.This episode, “Mind Explosion Sound,” is the most concentrated demonstration yet.Three humans — Geoff Talbot, Danger Vicious Dog, and Calibishie — wandered into a Substack thread and accidentally activated the exact cognitive superpower this season is documenting:

Oops! I did is again!I spent a good portion of this episode attempting to answer a question.Or perhaps attempting to construct a question.Or perhaps attempting to demonstrate how questions are constructed.It’s difficult to say.Fortunately, saying things has never been a major focus of this podcast.People often imagine that understanding arrives through explanation.Someone learns a fact.Someone receives new information.Someone acquires a framework.A diagram appears.An arrow points to another arrow.A

This week's episode starts off feeling fairly normal.A little memoir.A little storytelling.A song.A dead young man.Nothing too alarming.Then, gradually, things start connecting to other things.A story written at eighteen starts talking to a prose-poem written at thirty-nine, which starts talking to a song written at fifty-seven.A boyfriend becomes a symbol, then stops being one.A metaphor becomes a direction.A political decision becomes a psychological event.A move from one country to another starts

What if addiction isn’t a thing?Or at least not the thing we’ve been taught to see.This episode starts as a response to a Substack post and rapidly becomes something else: a critique of the way Western culture decides what counts as knowledge, whose stories are allowed to matter, and which explanations make it onto the menu.Because every system comes with a menu.There are approved causes.Approved solutions.Approved experts.Approved ways of talking.And then there are all the things that don’t

One of the weirdest things about becoming visible online—even slightly visible—is discovering how quickly you start wanting reassurance from numbers.Not success. Not art. Not connection.Numbers.A graph moving upward.A little dashboard saying:“Good boy.”This episode started as something completely different. Then suddenly a few podcast episodes escaped containment and got hundreds of listens instead of seven. Which, for the record, is enough to completely reorganize your nervous system if you are

This introduction is being written for Substack, which is a queer‑deaf place. Not hostile — just unable to hear the frequency queer people speak in. So I’m going to try to write something that will be legible to the queer‑deaf and also put them gently in their place. That’s what this introduction is for.And because “queer‑deaf” needs a definition, here’s the only one that makes sense:Queer‑deaf is when someone hears the sentence but not the slippage.It’s when you speak in parentheses inside

The episode has no wants. And one of them was to not stay in one piece. So it grabbed its own arm and pulled it off. To hand it to me… along with the hand, and the elbow and the shoulder.And while that was happening, the hand was going one way, the elbow another, the shoulder another.Bodies are amazing things, don’t you think?Then we made some Bacon. The Bacon was capitalized, like this: Bacon.It’s an ancestry thing. I think you’ll like it.In the meantime, I pulled these pull-quotes so I can use

This episode begins with mania, wanders through geopolitics, Tesla crumple‑zones, revenge fantasies, AIDS grief, gay AA in Palm Springs, MIDI sequencers, erotic electrocution anxiety, and a dying cowboy in a Speedo who just wanted someone to sing harmony with him before he disappeared from the earth. So, naturally, it becomes a love story about tenderness. Human beings are disgusting little miracles like that.This is not nostalgia. Nostalgia sands edges. This episode leaves the razorblades in.At 24,

I’ve been playing with Suno again. Which is dangerous, because I have hundreds of songs already up on Spotify and Apple Music and everywhere else, and Suno’s copyright filter is like a TSA agent who can’t tell the difference between a bomb and a sandwich. If I put in one of my own songs — songs I wrote, recorded, produced, and legally own — it blocks them because it thinks I’m stealing from myself. And there’s no button that says, “Relax, I’m me.”So I’m left with the songs I never released. The

There are people you never stop following.Not because they were good for you. Not because they loved you well. Not because they stayed.You follow them because they became a hallway in your mind that keeps rearranging itself every time you walk through it.This episode moves through AA basements, sex during the AIDS crisis, artistic compulsion, emotional asymmetry, obsession disguised as devotion, and the humiliation of wanting to be witnessed by someone who prefers you quiet.It’s about the people who

A city spends forty years preventing a subway from reaching its wealthy beach community because they fear “outsiders,” then spends the next forty years complaining that no one can afford to work in their restaurants, clean their homes, or care for their aging bodies. The train finally arrives empty.You install hundreds of security cameras across sand dunes to monitor danger, but every danger enters through the part of yourself the cameras can’t see. Meanwhile the footage captures hours of beautiful

You’re probably noticing a pattern by now. I keep circling around the same things: responsibility, performance, authenticity, pragmatism, spectacle, care, self-preservation, manipulation, survival. Human beings constructing little wire bridges over impossible gaps and then pretending they were always there.I think part of why I’m asking these questions is because I don’t trust easy morality anymore. The older I get, the more suspicious I become of people who already know exactly what the right thing

“Love Is a Group” wanders through 1987 Los Angeles wearing a tube dress, a student body president pin, and enough contradictory identities to make an entire school district develop stress hives.This episode starts where expulsion paperwork, forged absence notes, bomb threats, student council politics, AIDS-era panic, and adolescent theatre-kid populism all begin collapsing into each other like shopping carts in freeway traffic. Somewhere between Mira Costa High School and the California Association

Is this fiction?No, it’s clearly not fiction. It’s a transcript of a mind trying—and failing—to sit still.But all memory is reconstruction, so technically it is fiction.Right, but if everything is fiction, then calling it fiction is meaningless.Exactly. Which is why we keep talking.This episode begins in a windowless cruise cabin—already a metaphor you didn’t ask for—and spirals outward into a systems-level breakdown of being alive: the body as infrastructure, the brain as refinery, the heart as a

Recorded from the sensory deprivation chamber of an interior cruise cabin, Season 6 opens mid-sprawl.What begins as an attempt to read from a set of autofiction books dissolves—predictably—into something else: a drifting, recursive excavation of memory, identity, and performance. From teaching himself to tie shoes “wrong,” to growing up in 1980s Manhattan Beach under the shadow of nuclear anxiety, drugs, and carefully worded lies, the narrative loops through adolescence, activism, and spectacle.At

This one starts with a headset, a wireless mic, and a person pacing around their house trying to think out loud without deciding what they think first.There are ribs in an Instant Pot. There are potatoes that may or may not be timed correctly. There is a puppy tangling itself in cords and demanding to be acknowledged as the central organizing force of the universe.And somewhere inside all of that: a youth health centre in Abbotsford.A plaque on a City Hall wall. A signature that meant very
