About this listen

Bed wetting. Eating Toilet Paper. Dungeons & Dragons. Naps. Poo. The evil of HOA's, and let's not forget Jordan Peterson. Yeah, don't try to connect them without proper context...you'll hurt yourself.

Bestselling author, illustrator, and Dad of 13, Jaime Buckley talks about art, writing, and experiences in life that often sounds like something from one of his fiction novels. Luckily he's joined by someone to keep him on track and relatively sane--his oldest son Evan.

Join us for conversations to make you think, argue, and laugh 'til you hurt, that's our goal. There's no email lists to join or websites to follow. We don't give a crap about stuff like that--this is OUR time together.

We just thought you'd like to join us.

    Lolo talks to Dad about magic, why humans SUCK, and worldbuilding.
    Mar 28 2020

    It's been a long time since we've done a show, and being stuck home for the 4th month in a row, Jami Taylor (Lolo) asked if we could start doing the podcast again.

    "Sure, why not," I said, "what would you like to talk about?"

    "I'll let you know once we get talking," she tells me.

    Right. Okay then, let's do this.

    We talked about magic, magic systems, races in fiction,...we explore Jami's own fictional world for a spell while she asks questions about worldbuilding. We also touch on Wanted Hero, our new online world being built, and our family plans to build a subscription-based fictional dream come true for readers.

  • Dad and Asia talk about Food, Facts, and WHY Politicians are EVIL

    Dad and Asia talk about Food, Facts, and WHY Politicians are EVIL
    Apr 5 2019

    In todays episode we have a great treat, because my daughter Asia Bailey (recently married) stopped by the house, so I pulled her into the office to have a long conversation, on the record.

    It's fun to chat with my intelligent children, especially when they're married, because I can usually get them to criminalize themselves.

    No such luck today (%$#$#!!!). Instead, we had a fantastic discussion about life, communications, taking responsibility for our actions, parenting, her relationship with mom and frankly, that I'm a cool dad.

    Okay, she didn't actually SAY I was cool, but I could see it in her face.

    It was a great conversation.

    Life's Broken. Buy Immortality for $50
    Mar 28 2019

    In today's episode, Jaime and Jami talk about Lolo's weekend at the Teen Author Boot Camp...and where she placed in the First Chapter Contest.

    Then the show goes a bit nuts...

    Almost falling out of the shower in laughter earlier this week, Jaime decided to try something he's never heard an author do before...and it's working. 

    He's SELLING IMMORTALITY.

    No, you heard correctly. Jaime found a way to let you live forever for as little as 50 bucks.

    To raise funds for expanding Wanted Hero into an interactive world, he decided to let fans get in on the action. Fans can now buy bragging rights by becoming a fictional character they can show their friends and family!
