AN IMPORTANT CONVERSATION ABOUT DOING EVERYTHING
PART 2 OF THE ROASTED MIND. This was made with love, dedication, and whole milk. Love you guys, thank you for sticking around. Next coffee's on me :)
-
2.5 The Issue of Connection over a Cinnamon Vanilla Latte
What is UP with wanting to know everyone yet not be known by anyone? What would you even call that? Narcissistic? Asshole? Full of himself no good rotten stinking bastard? I'm just afraid.
-
2.4 A Discussion on Grief over a Banana Latte
I talk about grief here, and the loss that changed my fundamental way of thinking. Now I OVERthink, and I don't even know if I've completely gotten over the event. Welp, what can ya do. At least through my grief I've gained a shiny new personality that everyone enjoys :)
-
2.3 Hot Takes over a Matcha Latte
Chronically online kid talks about opinions in a climate where "hot takes" are the norm and no longer the opposition. In the 60s this would have gotten me shot by the secret service for being a commie!
-
2.2 A Conversation on Excuses over a Cortado
Is this what it means to be a big boy? Take responsibility for my actions and instead of repeating the cycle, cutting the negative and moving forward? It's a good thing Cortado means "to cut", which toooootallly wasn't intentional.
-
0.6 Disconnect
Becoming a phantom isn't all bad. A fresh outlook on life and the reassurance of your surroundings can add up to be a pretty positive experience.
-
2.1 New Beginnings over UCC Instant Coffee
That's right you coffee lovers and over-thinkers, season 2 is HERE. And we're sipping instant coffee again (yeah okay so I haven't gotten to buying coffee beans yet). I hope you like this fresh take and various changes on the show, and continue to enjoy hearing me yapyapyap. yap yap yap yap yap…

38. Einspanner and the Layers of Personality
PERSONALITIES ARE LIKE ONIONS. THEY HAVE LAYERS. OGRES HAVE LAYERS. PERSONALITIES ARE LIKE OGRES. Check out the website for the show! : https://www.theroasted.site Listen on Spotify! : https://rb.gy/8wjzn7 Listen on Apple Podcasts! : https://rb.gy/6w1btf Buy me a coffee! (if you like what I do...
-
37. Late Night Coffee and the Determination for Growth
Man, I'm not the least bit tired. I think it's all the energy from opening up theroasted.site, or maybe it's the espresso I had before I cracked my knuckles and began working, but I feel like I'm doing good. I feel like I've grown, or at the very least added growth to the show. The more I push…
more -
36. Energy Drinks and the Necessity of Exhaustion
okay maybe this is the last time I will talk about the topic of being tired, but hey, it's not me talking about it this time! My little sis has a lot to say about being too tired, so open your ears, get all your yawns out, and slam an alani nu bc it's about to get sleepy in here.
-
35. Latte Art and the Sacrifice To Be Great
Imagine what it feels like to be great at something, anything. Like competitive hotdog eating, how great do you think it feels to be called a master wiener eater? To those that do it, probably pretty good.
-
34. Hot Tea Latte and the Importance of Rest
I completely rambled this episode. Was it due to scramble brain? oh, most definitely. But do I regret using this space I created to my benefit in terms of speaking my mind in an unedited, unprovoked, and unprepared way? no, no I do not. My eyes are closing slowly and I'm having difficulty typing...
-
33. S’mores Latte and the Time to Progress (ft. Gabby)
Honestly, I love S'mores. Like who came up with that combination? Who was like "I'm going to put this gelatinous sugar cylinder on a stick, burn it to my liking, and put it in between two cinnamon crackers with a Hershey's chocolate bar." That's genius. I don't get it... Do you think the first...
-
32. An Empty Cup and the New Years Discussion
New Year New Year New Broken Promises. Cyclical in nature, yet a much-needed ambition to analyze your current desires. How crazy is that?
-
31. Ube Viet Coffee and the Exploration of New Avenues
Stick with the old grow with the new is what I always say. Does that make sense? No, I did not just come up with that right now!! Jeez man, you're being totally un-rambunctious right now.
-
30. Bottled Coffee and the Uncertainty of Your Future
Future shmuture, in the end, who really knows what's going to happen? I say we go grab an affogato and just accept where we are now, maybe talk a bit about the person who hurt you. They suck.
-
29. Seasonal Drinks and the Reality of Seasonal Affective Disorder
I love cold weather, but the effects a simple temperature or sunlight change can have on your mental health it very real. I wonder why those people in the Caribbean are always so happy. Must be the sun.
-
28. Golden Turmeric Latte and the Shine of Understanding Yourself (ft. Christion)
Who am I? Who are they? Do we even know who we are? I think so, I mean we had a pretty cool conversation about it so I think that qualifies us as being confident.
-
27. Moka and the Attempt of Getting It Right
Bialetti honestly is the goat for creating an at-home espresso maker. It's literally just tin with a little nob for safety, isn't that the coolest? I wonder how many attempts it took him to get that right, google doesn't really have an answer but I'd imagine a lot.
-
26. French Press and the Time That Screams
Sacre bleu! Who pressed the French?? They're already pressed on time as it is!
-
25. Repeat Orders and the Consistency To Reach Satisfaction
Is repetition akin to insanity? Does practice really make perfect? Was sisyphus actually happy? I dunno man, you gotta answer those questions for yourself. Don't let anyone tell you how to frame your order of consistency; after all, it IS your life.
-
24. Cappuccino w/ Oat Milk and the Growth into Simplicity
Odd how simple can be really good. I mean, think about simple syrup, or simple recipes on the internet. Hell, even simple minded people seem to be the happiest. Simpleton or Simple-ten? Being complex is lame.
-
23. Cold Foam and the Role of Playing Support
Playing support is lame?? Playing support is NOT LAME! You're lame for not accepting that it's okay to not be in the spotlight 24/7, letting your peers suffer in a lack of progress for your own self-goal. Lame as hell if you ask me.
-
22. Iced Chai with Vanilla Cold Foam and the Ways We Handle Grief (ft. Jessica)
Honestly, this didn't even feel like we were talking for 45 minutes; a topic like grief deserves no editing, no filter, and no frame to fit in. There isn't much I can say that could be considered influential on a topic as deeply unique but commonly shared as grief, but listening to how we handle...
-
21. Triple Shot Espresso and the Energy of Improvement
Damn, I'm motivated, like, to do a whole bunch of nonsense that makes me feel good about myself. Hobbies? Check. Working harder on the podcast? Check. Getting back into a routine? Check. No promises, but I hope this is a feeling that sticks around long enough to speak on the results.
-
20. Random Orders and the Unexpected Sadness Overhead
I hate those days of feeling randomly emotionless. All my homies hate those days of feeling randomly emotionless. Don't let us catch those emotionless days in the street because then it's OVER.
-
0.5 Comfortable Talk
A coffee talk about feeling comfortable in your own skin physically, and the determination to understand why you care so much about how you look instead of who you are. Song: Keep the Rain - Searows
-
19. Vietnamese Coffee and the Strength of Holding On
Damn, this coffee actually made my guts bubble, when they say it's strong they mean it's STRONG. Or maybe it was the condensed milk? Maybe it was the stress of my current challenges that require a certain level of adversity in order for me to get through and reach the next challenge? I think it…
more -
18. Drive-Thru Coffee and the Worries that Fuel You
I swear I worry so much it feels like my hair is going to fall off. I'm going to be bald before I'm 25. Do you think if I chilled out that it will save my hair? Please. I don't want to be bald.
-
17. Apple Chai Espresso and the Content for Your Decisions
That homey, calming feeling of an apple chai with the realistic awareness that comes with espresso. Feeling satisfied by feeling unsatisfied. Understanding by being confused. Looking back in order to look forward. What would your present be if you decided to go back and alter the past? I mean,...
-
16. Pajarete and the Acceptance of What Doesn’t Work Out (ft. Ivan)
The tequila was kinda hitting this episode. The discussion was still genuine, but I guess it's a little more genuine with some drink in my cup? The cups are cute btw, imported from Mexico. What were we talking about? Eh, I guess I'll just accept the forgetfulness and move on.
-
15. Americano and the Purpose We Assume for Ourselves
What's the deal with porpoises? Like, I thought they were dolphins, but turns out they're different? I wonder what's the purpose of a porpoise; I mean, no pressure to all my porpoise friends out there, but where do you stand in the sea mammal community? Keep on porpoising you purposefully porpoise.
-
0.4 Self Talk
A coffee talk about borrowed personality, and the disappointment in acknowledging the lack of complete individuality. Song: Again - Hold
-
14. White Chocolate Mocha and the Memories That Matter Most
Have you ever had those memories that you randomly think about and you just cringe and hate yourself and wish that never happened? Yeah this episode isn't about those, it's about the good memories :)
-
0.3 Tired Talk
A coffee talk about the unexpected arrival of a low-energy mental state.
-
13. Two Creams Two Sugars and the Trauma Caused by Those Closest to Us (feat. Isabelle)
Can you believe these dumb dookie heads did us wrong? Atrocious. -Alex
-
12. Over-caffeination and the Noise of Clearing Your Head
Cicadas are loud, annoying, and always hidden to the point where you're like "Dude WHERE ARE THEY". Actually, where do they reside? Are they in the ground? Are they in your head? How do you clear the noise from something you can't see? Lots of bug spray.
-
0.2 Focus Talk
A coffee talk about lost focus and it's relation to time.
-
11. Espresso Tonic and the Way We Spend Our Summer
A lighter discussion, something not as serious for the time of the year that isn't supposed to be taken seriously. I'm sweating just typing this.
-
0.1 Hobbie Talk
A coffee talk about hobbies, disappointment, and hopeful outlook.
-
10. Espresso and the Desire for Validation
Espresso? Expresso? Pixxa? I feel like if you say Expresso that's a form of searching for validation. That's okay, I don't like it but I accept that you say it with an X. I pronounce the L in Folk, so I'm guilty of validation seeking too.
-
The Future of The Roasted Mind: an Update
Quick update about the show, how I feel about it, what the future looks like, and my thoughts going forward with producing The Roasted Mind. Audio is uncanny but that's kinda the point of these relaxed episodes. Anyways, happy Friday. Have an espresso martini tonight.
-
9. Matcha and the Boredom of Routine
Matcha has been getting pretty popular recently, hasn't it? And by recently, I mean like in the last 10 years, which I guess isn't recent but it's more recent than the first transformers movie with Shia. You think he ever gets bored of his routine? Probably. Poor guy. -Alex.
-
8. Vanilla Latte and the Need for Simplistic Rituals
The vanilla latte is one of the simplest coffee orders, but that doesn't make it bad. It's an order that has the potential to be refreshing, resetting, and you can never go wrong with; kinda reminding you of those rituals you do daily, whether it's a morning cup, skincare, or morning jazz...
