Deadair Dennis Maler performing stand-up comedy on the Moped Outlaws podcast

Laughing in the Dark: Deadair Dennis Maler on Comedy and Survival

Some conversations feel planned.
Others feel necessary.

This one with Deadair Dennis Maler belongs to the second category.

What begins as a discussion about comedy—how jokes work, why audiences laugh, and what separates a good bit from a cheap one—slowly reveals itself as something else entirely: a meditation on survival, responsibility, mental health, and the strange role laughter plays when life gets uncomfortably real.

Dennis isn’t chasing shock value. He’s chasing truth, and he’s willing to sit in discomfort long enough for something honest to emerge.

At one point in the recording, Dennis accidentally drops off the call entirely—a brief technical glitch that feels oddly poetic in hindsight. The conversation pauses, resets, and resumes… much like the themes we keep circling: breakdown, recalibration, and finding your way back into the room.

Comedy, after all, isn’t about never losing the signal.
It’s about knowing how to re-enter when you do.

Comedy doesn’t save you from the dark—but it might help you survive it.

Doug Lynam, former Marine and Monk, now wealth manager, discussing the Enneagram and financial health.

Marine, Monk, Money Manager: Doug Lynam on Taming Your Money Monster with the Enneagram

We’ve all heard of the Enneagram, but what if this powerful personality system held the key to unlocking your best financial future? In this riveting conversation, we welcome Doug Lynam, a man whose life path defies simple categorization: Marine Corps officer candidate, Benedictine monk, and now, a respected wealth manager. Doug brings his unique perspective to healing our collective, chaotic relationship with money. He explains that your financial struggles are not just about budgeting or market trends; they are directly linked to your childhood environment and the ego defenses it created. This powerful insight, grounded in neurobiology and psychology, introduces us to the idea of the “money monster” and how your Enneagram type defines whether you are a compulsive Bleeder or a codependent Bonder. Doug offers a radical new approach to achieving financial security, one that starts not with your bank account, but with your soul.

Tina Coleman smiling in an off-the-shoulder floral top beside the cover of her book “Fifty Fabulous and Fckable,” featured as Guest Rider on Moped Outlaws Episode 225.

Unapologetically Alive: Tina Coleman’s Sacred, Sexy Midlife Rebirth ❤️‍🔥🔥❤️‍🔥💦

There are conversations that enter softly… and then there are the ones that walk in wearing thigh-high boots, holding a candle, and whispering, “You ready to tell the truth?”

This was the latter.

When Marc and I sat down with Tina Coleman for Episode 225, we thought we were getting a fun, fiery chat about her new book, 50, Fabulous, and Fuckable.

We did get that.

But we also got a masterclass in desire as compass, midlife reinvention, erotic spirituality, grief alchemy, sobriety, divine feminine fire, and the kind of laughter that only shows up once you’ve lived through some shit and come out glowing.

Inside the Empire of Orgasm: A Conversation with Ellen Huet

Inside the Empire of Orgasm: A Conversation with Ellen Huet.

There are stories we read, and there are stories that read us. Our conversation with journalist and author Ellen Huet belongs to the second category. What begins as an exploration of the now-controversial OneTaste community becomes a meditation on desire, belonging, power, vulnerability, and how easily a transformational practice can slide into exploitation. Ellen’s new book, Empire of Orgasm, opens the door to a world where healing and harm are often intertwined—and where human longing becomes both catalyst and trap.

Portrait of Cameron Smith against a black background, looking directly at the camera, featured as the guest rider for Moped Outlaws Episode 223.

If the World Hates You, Turn It Into a Movie 🍿🎥🎬

A Moped Outlaws dispatch from the trembling edge of the human condition.

You know you’re in for trouble when a documentary opens with scripture.
Not the soft, comforting kind.
The kind etched into prison walls and whispered by prophets who’ve seen too much:

“If the world hates you…”

From Violence to Vision: Ken Cox on AI, Creativity, and the Human Future

There are guests who entertain, guests who inspire, and then there are guests who arrive carrying a lightning bolt of lived experience, insight, and unfiltered heart. Ken Cox is the third kind.

He’s a technologist who co-founded a global data-center company, a creativity coach shaping the next generation of artists and innovators, a stand-up comedian, a boxing coach, and a man designing frameworks for a world where robots do the labor and human beings finally get to live. Read more

There are guests who make you laugh, and then there are guests who make you wake up laughing.
Comedian, writer, and philosopher-in-disguise Alice Fraser does both.

When she steps into the Moped Outlaws ride, she brings the kind of presence that feels half-monk, half-mischievous-trickster — the kind of person who can talk about the Holocaust, motherhood, and capitalism’s hand-dryers all in one breath, and somehow make it holy. Read more

Aaron Scott guest feature on Moped Outlaws podcast episode 220

Before We Forget: Awakening with Aaron Scott

Awakening in the Age of Aquarius with Aaron Scott

In this episode, author Aaron Scott joins Greg and Marc for a ride of a lifetime.
What does it really mean to awaken? Not in the “hippie dippie” sense of escapism, but in the grounded, lived experience of reconnecting with who we truly are? In this week’s episode of Moped Outlaws, we welcome back Aaron Scott — author of Before We Forget: Awaken Within, Arise Together — for a conversation that dives into the heart of conscious living.

Aaron shares his own path from Wall Street’s relentless chase to a deeper encounter with integrity, nature, and human connection. Together, we explore the myths of separation, the distortions of hierarchy, and the possibility of parallel structures that honor cooperation over domination. Awakening, as Aaron reminds us, is not just about inner peace — it’s about shifting how we build our societies, nurture our relationships, and honor the rhythms of the natural world.

“Awakening is about shedding the indoctrinated scaffolding society has imposed on us. It’s not fringe or esoteric — it’s the most practical thing we can do to live consciously.”
Aaron Scott, author of Before We Forget
