Lang May Yer Lum Reek

Every now and then… the mischievous wee folk show up.

Not in some grand, cinematic way—but in flickering Wi-Fi, frozen screens, disappearing audio, and the quiet chaos of trying to hold a conversation together across continents.

This episode was recorded live on St. Paddy’s Day.

It was meant to be released that same day.

And yet… here we are.

Maybe it was the fairies.
Or maybe it was me.

Because if I’m honest, there was a quiet resistance to getting this across the finish line. That subtle voice that says, “You can do it tomorrow…”—even when tomorrow misses the moment entirely.

Still… something about this conversation felt worth staying with. Read more

Yasemin Kamci discussing restaurant culture and service industry life on the Moped Outlaws podcast

The Bitter Waitress: Yasemin Kamci on Service Work, Human Nature, and Finding Joy

What happens when someone leaves a career in engineering to work in a restaurant?

For many people, it might sound like a step backward.

For Yasemin Kamci, it became a window into something deeper — human behavior, community, and the strange sociology of the service industry.

In this episode of Moped Outlaws, Yasemin joins Marc and Greg to talk about the world behind restaurant doors — the place where hospitality, stress, humor, and humanity collide every night.

Yasemin is the creator of the Bitter Waitress podcast, where she explores the often invisible realities of customer service work and the emotional labor that comes with it.

Her perspective is unique.

Before entering restaurant work, she spent more than a decade working as an engineer in the IT industry. But the demands of constant travel, endless accessibility, and family life pushed her to rethink what success actually meant.

Sometimes stepping off the expected path reveals something more honest. Read more

And he’s still deeply curious about what comes next. Read more

Shadow Work in Public: Dr. Sterlin Mosley on Narcissism, Power, and the Collective Ego

Shadow Work in Public: Dr. Sterlin Mosley on Narcissism, Power, and the Collective Ego

What happens when a personality psychologist has a mystical awakening?

And what happens when that same psychologist writes a book about narcissism… during a cultural moment obsessed with exposing it?

Dr. Sterlin Mosley returns to Moped Outlaws for a conversation that moves from the Enneagram to ego liberation, from spiritual awakening to the Epstein files, and from masculine shadow to collective consciousness.

This is not a surface-level psychology discussion.

It’s an inquiry into what it means to be human — and what it costs us to deny that humanity. Read more

Jeff Simmons recording environmental audio for the Audio in Trees project during Moped Outlaws Episode 235

Listening as Craft: Jeff Simmons on Audio in Trees, Attention, and the Art of Slowing Down

There are conversations about building.
There are conversations about leading.
And then there are conversations about listening.

This one is about listening.

Jeff Simmons joins us to explore what happens when you turn toward the soundscape instead of away from it — when you stop filling silence and start paying attention to what’s already there.

Jeff is the founder of Audio in Trees, a project rooted in environmental field recording and deep listening. His work is simple on the surface: go outside, record, and preserve the sound of a place.

But what unfolds is something much deeper. Read more
