Show notes

Hey Folks,

Back once again with a Bungle and Naomi in tow. This time we just shoot the breeze with a little vape talk including the flavour ban here in the Netherlands and the ban in Australia.

We also spend some time discussing the state of the world in general, so Brexit, Covid-19, lockdowns and of course Trump.

RS_Special_MH01 - An episode on mental health May 31, 2020

Show notes

Hi Folks,

So this episode is a very special one as I am without Bungle again but am joined once again by Naomi and my good friend Ben. We are here to talk openly, honestly, and frankly about mental health and our personal struggles.

This is of course in order of May being both mental health awareness and what is most close to me borderline personality disorder awareness month. I have been a long time sufferer of BPD and talk about some of my experiences and current treatment I am under in the form of DBT.

Naomi and Ben also share their experiences with anxiety and depression amongst other things and how these have had an impact on their lives.

This is a very open discussion so I feel I should put a trigger warning as some of you may find some of the discussion hits to close to home and is difficult to listen to.

This topic may become a semi-regular feature as I progress through my DBT treatment and beyond as I feel it's something that will not only be beneficial for myself but hope will let some of you out there know you are not alone in the mental health fight regardless of your particular flavor of diagnosis.

As part of the run-up to this episode, I have been asking for donations on our Facebook page for a UK based mental health organization called Mind, if you live in the UK or even if you don't please check them out and if you can donate they have a donate button right on the top of their website.

https://www.mind.org.uk/

Of course, I know mental health care still needs work across the globe so if there is charity or organization that is your area/country please feel free to donate to them instead if you can and would rather do that.

I hope you all get something from this episode and I will be uploading an episode that myself, Naomi, and Bungle recorded some time ago. I had put this off due to my declining mental state, so look out for that in the next week or so.

To everyone out there fighting the fight every day, you're not alone. Stay strong and much love X

RS_S01E08 - No Bungle - A Nero & Naomi Special - WrestleMania 36 & Chuck Tingle Apr 08, 2020

Show notes

Howdy Folks,

I hope your all surviving in your isolation stations out there wherever you are in the world. Crazy times, partly the reason for the delay between episodes. But we are back again only this time, for the first time, without our dear Bungle.

Myself and Naomi are here to bring you a quarantine special as we take a look at this years WWE WrestleMania 36 which took place in front of no crowd. We also talk some general talk on the current pandemic and how things are playing out in the world of pro-wrestling and MMA.

We also give your our review of a Chuck Tingle story we promised last episode, it's a different show to normal but a lot fun so I hope you enjoy.

If you like the wrestling talk with me and Naomi we may start our own spin-off show just for that so let us know.

Stay safe!

RS_S01E07 - Nero f&*$#@d up... Feb 12, 2020

Show notes

Hey Folks,

So this is our first show of the year with me fresh back after a much needed MONTH LONG holiday in Japan.

This time out we are joined by Naomi (my other half) to help run down some of our fun antics in Japan and talk about her new book. Of course we talk a little vape talk, and generally despair over the state of the political landscape shaping the world, nevertheless a fun show as always.

That all being said it wouldn't be our show if something didn't go wrong, and of course it did. This time in the form of me being too stoned to notice that a vape had fallen on the keyboard and stopped the recording in the second half of the show. However, all is not lost as we have decided to have Naomi join us next time for a special episode, a book club (of sorts) where we will be reviewing a book by the man, the myth, the legend CHUCK TINGLE as way of an apology for my fuckup, if you don't know Chuck Tingle check out the link below and prepare to have you tiny mind shattered!

RS_S01_Special - Rambling Capers (A tabletop RP Adventure) Jan 12, 2020

Show notes

Hey folks,

Happy 2020 from Japan!

So I am still out here for another week having an awesome time, but as promised here is an old project from the archives of things that never made it back from the early days of the Rambling Vapers show. This was intended to be a spin-off series called Rambling Capers where myself, Bungle, Naomi & Ian (of Larp Noobs podcast) played through a table top RP campaign using a system Ian developed himself (as the man is uber talented).

Anyway the plan was to actually do sound FX etc and make it all atmospheric but life got in the way and the project fell by the wayside.

But now as a stop-gap new year treat here is what I managed to get done to tide you guys over till the normal Rambling Stoners gets back on the airwaves at the end of the month.

If you guys enjoy this do let us know as it could b something we might re-visit if the interest is there, also don't forget to check out Ian on the Larp Noobs podcast: https://thelarpnoobspodcast.podbean.com/

Anyway peace out and catch ya at the end of January

RS_S01E05 - We love to play computer games so we waffle about them. Dec 02, 2019

Show notes

Hey Folks,

We are back once again, sorry for the longer than planned gap between episodes. We have been somewhat cursed with this show of late, I went and got myself a concussion and Bungles audio interface blew as we started to record this episdoe so do forgive the dip in his audio quality.

Never the less we are back with a fun show, as always we open with a little bit of Vape talk some discussion on the state of the flavour ban in the USA and some new vape mail be both picked up.In the main show we spend our time musing over our love of gaming, and some of favourite gaming experiences and great games to play when baked either with friends of flying solo.

Also stay tuned to our Facebook page and website as we now have a merch store and will be launching a Patreon with some cool perks which we discuss in this episode.

Hope you enjoy the show.

Stay safe!

Nero

RS_S01E04 - The best things to do when stoned (and pulling apart a stoner bucket list) Nov 09, 2019

Show notes

Hey guys,

Back again with another show. First off apologies for the crackle and slight distortion on Bungles end, seemed to be an issue with Discord we couldn't nail down. Will have it fixed by next time (but it's not too bad).

Anyway we are back this time firstly run down a stoner bucket list we found online and then give our own opinions on some more realistic great things to when high as kite. That are not limited by physical location of fiscal means.

You can read the list for yourselves here: Stoner bucket list

The lists we came up with are fond below:

Nero's List:

Skydiving tandem with instructor.
Going to awesome live show with high value production. (Concert, play, hell even a wrestling show)
Gaming on cinema screens.
Do epic cooking and make a tasty feast for stoner friends.
Listen to Dan Carlin's Hardcore History podcast: https://www.dancarlin.com/

Bungle's List:

Watch a sunrise from a scenic countryside view.
Going to awesome live show with high value production. (We both agreed on this one)
Watch bad movies so bad they are good.
Play board games or table to RP with stoner friends.
Watch David Attenborough documentaries: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Attenborough_filmography

Ultimately we both agree one of the best things to do when stoned is enrich yourself through knowledge So you have to specify the author in your project:Music from https://filmmusic.io"Patternmaster" by Otis Galloway ()License: CC BY (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)

RS_S01E03 - The Munchies (feat. Naomi) Oct 26, 2019

Show notes

Hey guys,

We are back again with a fund filled but before w e get into that a little PSA:

United Vapers Alliance Rally 9th November From 12:00 to 16:00The Ellipse @ 1450 Pennsylvania Ave NW We urge all our vaping fans who are able, to attend this rally and show the US government that vapers mater and vapers vote #wevapewevote As much as we would love to due to fiscal reasons we can't be there to support y'all but we can at least spread the word. STAY STRONG AND VAPE ON FRIENDS!

So back to this show, this episode is featuring my much better half Naomi. She's here to help catch us up in the crazy world of Brexit and Trump, I would just say politics but I feel these two things are so beyond farcical referring to them as politics is an insult to politics.

The bulk of our talk this week is food related specifically what makes good stoner food this is in response to this article from Vice which we all too various issues with:Vice: 23 of the Best Snacks to Eat While Stoned

So check out what we think is the best way to fill that munch craving when your several bongs deep and the munchies hit hard! Also find below our agreed list of the best 5 British and Dutch stoner foods!

Naomi is also here to plug some of her new books not only Solo but collaborative under her pseudonym Amber Morgan together with our friend Olivia R Burton which you can find in the links below.
