The Man Behind the Mic (and the Smoke)

I’m Justin Barone. For the last five years, I’ve been the voice in your ear making sure life’s nonsense doesn’t go unchecked. I didn’t start Thoughts Off The Stem because I wanted to be a ‘content creator’. I started it because the world is increasingly full of shit, and someone had to say it out loud.

Voted one of the Best Comedy Podcasts on Player FM. This show is my platform for dissecting the beautifully weird and deeply ironic way we navigate the world today. Think of this as your weekly reality check. The 11:00 PM FaceTime from that one friend who’s just observant enough to notice the absurdity in everything. From viral corporate fails to the ‘logic’ of modern adulthood.

What’s the Vibe?

• The Human Glitch: I’m not here to fix the world or give you a five-step plan to happiness. I’m here to point out the awkward, the ironic, and the parts of society that make us all want to walk into traffic.
• Sesh Science: This is a cannabis-infused space, but we do more than just get high. We break down the terpenes, strains, and education that keep the high-functioning community productive while everyone else is asleep on the couch.
• Parenting & Adulthood: Real reflections on winging it as a parent in 2026. No “perfect parent” fluff—just the raw truth about raising kids in a world that’s clearly lost its mind.
