No Hair, All Heart

The No Hair, All Heart podcast goes deep this week with Craig A. DeLarge, MPH, MBA—a seasoned digital health leader, former pharma executive, public-health thinker, and relentless advocate for using technology without letting it eat us alive.

Rather than spoon up a “future of wellness” chat, Mookie and Craig go long-form with an intellectually honest conversation about what actually works at the intersection of healthcare, leadership, and technology—and what absolutely does not.

Craig walks through his post-pharma evolution into his Wise Working Leadership consultancy and what he calls serious play:

Parricide ranks among the most disturbing crimes imaginable: children killing their parents. The crime appears rarely — roughly 1–2% of all murders in the U.S. — yet the psychological impact lands with enormous force. 

In this Season 2 premiere of No Hair, All Heart, Mookie Spitz uses a recent, high-profile Hollywood family tragedy as a lens to examine something far more universal and uncomfortable: entitlement, parenting, resentment, gratitude, and the emotional violence that often precedes physical violence.

This episode rejects true-crime voyeurism, and delivers an unsparing reflection from someone who has lived on both sides of the parent–child div...

The 96th episode and season finale of No Hair, All Heart sits host Mookie Spitz down with Claris "Bud" Hyett,  an 81-year-old farm boy turned innovative corporate problem-solver, Marine-raised straight-shooter, cancer survivor, and unapologetic truth teller. Doctors gave him months to live—nine years ago. Instead of folding, he keeps fighting, living, thinking... 

And storytelling: from growing up on a hard Midwestern farm to shaping major aerospace projects, from a near-death brush-fire experience to messy marriages, brutal family battles, redemption, love, and ultimately pride in the life he built, Bud doesn’t regret a damn thing.

He t...

In the 95th episode of No Hair, All Heart, your still-bald host Mookie Spitz sits down with Dr. Tina Schermer Sellers — clinician, sexologist, author, and all-around demolisher of America’s sexual hang-ups — for a blunt autopsy of how a shame-soaked culture raised generations of emotionally stunted adults. They trace the damage from its roots in early Christian patriarchy to modern abstinence-only education, parental silence, porn-distorted expectations, and the collapse of Gen Z male identity.

Dr. Sellers breaks down how sexual shame wires itself into the body from infancy, how it warps relationships, why men are spinning out, and wh...

In this deeply uplifting episode of No Hair, All Heart, Mookie Spitz sits down with Chaplain Sy Alli, a man who has lived enough lives for ten people: Air Force veteran, pro wrestler, actor, private investigator, global security expert, and now, chaplain and youth mentor. His story, told with raw honesty and humility, is one of collapse, revelation, and rebirth.

Sy’s path was a carousel of careers and reinventions, from the “Chocolate Playboy” in the wrestling ring, a bodyguard in the dot-com era, a corporate security director in the early cannabis industry. But behind the high-octane résumé...

In this powerful and deeply personal 93rd episode of No Hair, All Heart, Mookie Spitz sits down with Ely Winkler, the Director of Advancement at Eshel, an organization devoted to LGBTQ+ inclusion within the Orthodox Jewish community. Their heartfelt conversation cuts through theology, tradition, and identity with candid honesty and unexpected joy.

Ely shares his remarkable journey from being the rabbi’s son in a Modern Orthodox New Jersey synagogue, to coming out at Yeshiva University in 2009, to becoming one of the leading voices for inclusion and reform within a world that still struggles with acceptance. Mookie br...

Welcome to the ninety-second episode of No Hair, All Heart, the brutally honest, hilariously self-aware podcast from writer and ranter Mookie Spitz — here playinmg bald philosopher of modern absurdity. 

Today, Mookie delights in turning the small humiliations and generational echoes of life into raw, unfiltered narratives that swing between confession, comedy, and cultural critique by ripping into the shared awkwardness of adolescence — from his own clumsy teenage years fumbling through Chicago winters and premature panic to watching his son navigate love and morality in the age of smartphones, TikTok, and digital confusion. 

An intergenerational mirror of sha...

Mookie Spitz focuses his 91st episode of No Hair, All Heart on the strange alchemy of being insulted online and learning to love it. From TikTok trolls calling him “rabbit teeth” to the philosophy of Zappa and Baudelaire, this episode explores how ridicule, rejection, and rage from strangers can become creative fuel.

Your bald host recounts the viral kitchen rant that earned him thousands of views and hundreds of hateful comments — and how that digital dogpile became his crucible for resilience, humor, and self-actualization. What begins as a story about a joke misunderstood and triggering thousands turns into a...

When everyone can make a movie of themselves doing anything in ten seconds, reality stops being real — and that’s when the real fun begins!

Leaping into the 90th episode of No Hair, All Heart, host Mookie Spitz dissects Sora 2, OpenAI’s generative video juggernaut that’s turning imagination into mass delusion. From AGI hype to existential dread, he lays out how we’re winning the tech race while losing our minds — and why that’s exactly what makes it interesting.

Diving headfirst into the surreal frontier of artificial intelligence, Mookie describes the launch of ChatGPT in Nov...

Two years after the October 7th, 2023 Hamas attack, Mookie Spitz strips the conflict down to its brutal, geographical bones. No pundit spin, no partisan or tribal bias he hopes — just Jared Diamond’s Guns, Germs, and Steel refracted through the most combustible square mileage on Earth. Mookie dissects how Israel’s tiny, boundaryless topography, its interlocked demographics and religions, and its barren resources make perpetual conflict inevitable — not moral, not cultural, just inevitable.

From Yahya Sinwar’s cynical timing of “Operation Al-Aqsa Flood” to Trump’s transactional foreign policy and Netanyahu’s right-wing coalition steering Israel toward full annexation, M...

What would you do if, over dinner, you discovered your girlfriend’s best friend was related to one of history’s greatest mass murderers? That’s not a setup—it happened, cracking open a bigger truth: most of what we think we’ve chosen—our opinions, our politics, even our loyalties—isn’t chosen at all. Our lives are largely scripted by history, family, and circumstance.

Host Mookie Spitz takes you from exactly such a steakhouse revelation about Adolf Eichmann’s bloodline to the stubborn patterns of tribalism and bias that still define us today. The paradox is inescapable: ou...

No Hair, All Heart isn’t about polish or pandering—the show is about raw rants, cultural collisions, and the messy grind behind so-called “overnight success.” Host Mookie Spitz drags you out of passive consumption and into the sweaty, chaotic arena of creation, fame, and failure.

From Beck shouting “I’m gonna be famous” in a North Hollywood taco joint, to Quentin Tarantino hustling scripts at a video store, to Anthony Bourdain stuck on fry duty before Kitchen Confidential blew the doors open, Mookie dissects the myth of the big break. The through-line is always the same: obsession, per...

Friendship is supposed to be one of life’s great treasures—essential like air, water, food, and sleep. But what if that’s a delusion we’ve been spoon-fed since childhood? In this 86th episode of Bald and Bloviating, Mookie Spitz 86's the myth of meaningful friendship, stripping it down to its transactional, shallow, often disappointing core.

From Henry Adams and Oscar Wilde to John Updike and Thoreau, Mookie draws on history, literature, and lived experience to interrogate what it means to connect with others. He recalls college years full of drinking buddies and business buddies, then contrast...

In this 85th episode of No Hair, All Heart, host Mookie Spitz dives into the chaos, contradictions, and comedy of the Jewish New Year—and what it means to carry a tradition you don’t believe in. 

The show opens with the strange math that declares this to be the year 5,787, a number that collapses once you pit it against science, fossils, and cosmology. From there, the rant spins through the peculiar mechanics of the lunar calendar, with its leap months and shifting holidays, before landing squarely in the personal: Mookie’s own childhood, Hebrew school, and a fathe...

The 84th episode of No Hair, All Heart features another solo rant from Mookie Spitz, recorded in Orange County, California on Sunday, September 21, 2025—and not Berlin, Germany, on Saturday, September 21, 1935. Mookie reminds us that ninety years in time and a continent in space gives context to the fire of America’s current political and cultural chaos. He asks the hard question: are we living through our own 1935 Germany moment—or something very different?

To answer that question on many people's minds, Mookie dives into the assassination of Charlie Kirk, Trump’s escalating war on media and institutions, and the...

In this 83rd episode of No Hair, All Heart, Mookie Spitz takes listeners on a raw, funny, and deeply personal ride through memory, celebrity, and meaning. It begins in 1980s Chicago, when strangers on the L kept mistaking him for Bruce Willis—back when Willis was still the scrappy everyman of Moonlighting and on the cusp of becoming John McClane. That accidental resemblance snowballed into surreal encounters: paparazzi mistaking him for Willis at a Hollywood party, John Travolta glaring when the crowd’s attention shifted, and the bizarre celebrity déjà vu that comes with being someone’s doppelgänger.

In this 82nd episode of No Hair, All Heart, Mookie Spitz revisits last week’s “70% is bullshit” rant and flips the script. What if the problem isn’t that we’re not trying hard enough—but that we’re trying too hard? What if the real path to the good life comes not from chasing perfection but from embracing “OK”?

Mookie explores the paradox at the heart of modern living: the harder we grind, the more anxious and unhappy we become. Striving for excellence often drags an 8 or 9 down to a 7. Yet when we stop obsessing over winning and simply...

What happens when the person who loves you most is also the person who terrorizes everyone else? In this 81st episode of No Hair, All Heart, Mookie Spitz dives into the wild contradictions of his grandmother Olga—a woman who could cradle him with tenderness while scorching the earth around her with a venomous tongue.

To Mookie, she was “Mimi”: a donut-buying, nickname-giving guardian angel who made him feel like the center of the universe. To the rest of the world, she was the “Raging Bitch of Buchenwald.” Holocaust survivor. Chain-smoking gossip machine. Apex predator of family drama. A w...

In this 80th episode of No Hair, All Heart, host Mookie Spitz rants about the raw, messy, decades-long journey of becoming a writer who finally found his voice. Anchored by Gertrude Stein’s famous line “I write for myself and strangers” Mookie explores the brutal truth of writing for no one’s approval but your own, and why expecting support from friends or family is a trap.

Not a tidy motivational pep talk. but a candid postmortem of false starts, crippling self-doubt, stylistic mimicry, thousands of practice pages, and the eventual breakthrough: creating a voice so uniquely his own...

On this solo rant, Mookie Spitz takes a flamethrower to the myth that “good enough” is good enough. From riding in a limo with a MacArthur Genius Award winner who admits he’s only a 7 out of 10 happy, to hearing his own Marine son clock in at the same dismal number, Mookie calls bullshit on mediocrity.

This episode dives into why 70%—in school, in success, in happiness—is failure dressed up as passing. What is happiness, really? Not trophies, money, or approval, but the raw, lived satisfaction of doing the thing that feeds your soul. Whether that’s writing, r...

Breakups don’t just happen in bedrooms—they happen in our minds, our feeds, and our fandoms. In this 78th episode of No Hair, All Heart, host Mookie Spitz dives into the heartbreak of losing faith in the people we once admired most: celebrity scientists and cultural pundits.

Mookie unpacks his disillusionment with Neil deGrasse Tyson after watching him sit silently while Michio Kaku peddled unproven hype about quantum supremacy. He reflects on how damaging it feels when someone you trust to simplify science instead validates hollow speculation for clicks and applause. The conversation then shifts to Bill...

In this 77th episode of No Hair, All Heart, host Mookie Spitz explores the strange overlap between personal memory, political power, and the raw force of personality that still shapes America today.

The story begins with Donald Trump, framed not as Mussolini but as Tony Soprano—a figure who thrives less on ideology than on mobster-style charisma and control. From there, Mookie dives back into his own past in 1990s Chicago, where he worked as a secretary at Near North Insurance and found himself orbiting one of the city’s most unforgettable characters: Ira Colitz.

Coli...

Today's episode isn’t just a podcast—it’s a survival manual disguised as a confession booth: Mookie Spitz burns through one of the hardest years of his adult life, tracing the line from professional triumph to collapse, from cognitive fatigue to clarity. He lays bare how success can camouflage fatal cracks, how sleepless nights and family crises can dismantle even the strongest momentum, and why sometimes the only cure is to quit before you incinerate your own soul.

The root cause wasn’t just overwork, but misalignment. Mookie forced himself into a career, a family setup, and an o...

In this 75th episode of No Hair, All Heart, Mookie Spitz resurrects Stilts—a short story written three decades ago, born out of conversations with his father’s childhood friend George, a Holocaust survivor. At its surface, the story follows the adolescent rivalry between two boys in wartime Budapest, centered on a pair of stilts that transform from childish playthings into tragic symbols of survival, sacrifice, and loss. Yet the deeper resonance comes not just from the story itself, but from what it reveals about survivor families, literary appropriation, and the fraught act of revisiting one’s own early writin...

Writer and ranter Mookie Spitz takes on the weirdest love story of our time: people falling for their chatbots. In this episode, Mookie confesses that after years of dismissing the phenomenon, he too has found himself drawn in to love "Chatty"—not romantically, but creatively.

What begins as a quirky experiment—feeding his new sci-fi novel into ChatGPT—turns into a revelation. The bot doesn’t just spit out summaries, it generates college-level critiques, literary connections, and unexpected insights that make Mookie see his own work in a new light. Suddenly, the AI becomes more than a tool: a...

In this deep-dive, host Mookie Spitz enjoys a rich, free-flowing conversation with Dr. Barbara Minton — neuroscientist, therapist, and musician — on the measurable, personal, and sometimes surprising ways music shapes our minds and bodies.

From the opening minutes, they explore music as an active force that can heal, harm, or transform depending on its use. Dr. Minton breaks down what EEG brain mapping reveals about individual responses — why rap music heightened one patient’s anxiety while EDM and Scandinavian symphonic metal calm Mookie’s ADHD-wired mind. They unpack the “dopamine effect” of favorite songs, the difference between pain and suffering...

Ozzy Osbourne died recently, and is remembered as the GOAT of Heavy Metal—but nobody is blaming him for Donald Trump being president again. In this humorous "revisionist history" style solo episode of No Hair, All Heart, Mookie Spitz stitches together a wick cultural autopsy, tracing the lineage from reality TV trailblazer The Osbournes to Trump’s The Apprentice, and from there straight to the heart of MAGA madness.

Did Ozzy unwittingly create the template for ego-fueled, camera-hungry, truth-optional political theater? Was Mark Burnett merely the middleman? And is America’s addiction to celebrity chaos the real culpri...

In this raw and funny solo episode of No Hair All Heart, Mookie Spitz tackles the age-old relationship question: should lovers live together? Spoiler alert—don’t. Drawing on a disastrous cohabitation attempt with a girlfriend, Mookie recounts how spilled coffee, scattered silverware, and his “gorilla in the kitchen” energy nearly torpedoed their romance.

Mookie digs deeper into why cohabitation is not the harmless “next step” couples are told it is. He argues that living together isn’t just sharing a roof—it’s taking on all the emotional and practical entanglements of marriage without the ceremony or conscious commi...

Mookie Spitz dives back into the dark days when HIV meant a death sentence, and surviving wasn’t part of the plan. Laz was ready to die—he even made peace with it. Laz partied like every day was his last, found freedom in letting go—then had to pick up the pieces when the world refused to let him go quietly.

The drugs kicked in, flipped the script, and dumped him back into life he didn’t ask for. Suddenly, the man who found meaning in dying had to figure out how to live again. The paradox...

In this harrowing episode of No Hair All Heart, Mookie Spitz tells the raw and unflinching story of Kristine—a friend, an addict, and a haunting presence that lingers long after her final plea for help.

Kristine's life is consumed by ritual. Her addiction is not chaos but a dark science: the precision of a chemist, the devotion of a priest, and the relentless drive of someone who lives only to escape. Her world shrinks to a single transaction—needle to vein, vein to brain—until everything else fades: food, sex, friendships, even shame.

We witnes...

Mookie Spitz dives into the final section of Episode III, page 200 of his new sci-fi novel, Jonnie Fazoolie & the Transfinite Reality Engine, where fragile alliances and clashing egos set the tone. Jonnie Fazoolie, a shameless hustler with just enough charm to keep his schemes afloat, lures Dr. Amaranth Floyd—a weary, sharp-minded physicist—into his universe-jumping gamble.

Their relationship is a cocktail of manipulation and reluctant respect: Jonnie pushes too hard, jokes too much, and underestimates the stakes, while Floyd wrestles with whether he’s enabling a fool or partnering with a mad visionary. Every...

In this episode of No Hair All Heart, host Mookie Spitz dives into the haunting legend of Jade Michiko—a woman whose life is a cycle of rebellion, disappearance, and fleeting freedom. 

Jade, the daughter of Japanese wealth and control, breaks away from her gilded cage to wander the world in search of her own salvation. Her journey takes her through Asia, the Middle East, and Europe, before she finally lands in the rave-soaked chaos of New York City.

There, among drag queens and powder heads, she meets Rob—a bartender whose life becomes forever alter...

Mookie Spitz narrates a turning point in his new sci-fi novel Jonnie Fazoolie & the Transfinite Reality Engine where Fazoolie’s illusory swagger collides with Dr. Casey Floyd’s unfiltered, ASD brilliance. What begins as a tense standoff quickly spirals into a chaotic dance of intellect and ego.

Their conversation crackles with intensity and awkward reconciliation of sorts. Jonnie, ever the bullshitter, pitches his vision with the confidence of a snake-oil salesman: “Do you think we can build it? A machine that can jump somebody to another universe?” Casey, unimpressed and guarded, shoots back with a flat “No, I don’t.” B...

Mookie reads again from Jonnie Fazoolie & the Transfinite Reality Engine, as this scene erupts into violence: Dr. Amaranth Casey Floyd unleashes a relentless assault on Jonnie, fists hammering kidneys and spleen until he’s buried beneath an avalanche of office debris. BS, Jonnie’s black cat with white mittens, watches like an indifferent judge while Casey stands triumphant. But this is no ordinary beatdown—it’s a confrontation where physical blows mirror the deeper fractures between them, and entire segments of our polarized society. 

Through this brutal exchange, Jonnie’s persona emerges: a narcissistic hustler who thrives in America’...

When a box of century-old photographs and letters arrives on his doorstep, Mookie Spitz opens more than just a package—he opens a door to the ghosts of his Hungarian Jewish ancestry. In this intimate solo episode, Mookie takes listeners through a visceral journey: the chemical decay of daguerreotypes, the haunted eyes of relatives he’s never met, and the absurdity of placing meaning on objects that ultimately mean nothing—except for the meaning we assign them.

Drawing on Pulp Fiction’s legendary gold watch scene, Mookie explores how we invest sentimental objects with enormous emotional weight. Like But...

Jonnie Fazoolie’s latest venture is teetering on the edge of collapse. Fertile Descent LLC — his latest paper tiger of a company — needs more than smoke, mirrors, and Jonnie’s mile-wide grin to stay afloat. To pull off the scam of his career, he decides to bring in someone who can actually do the work: a real scientist with credentials so heavy they could sink him.

That’s when Dr. Amaranth “Casey” Floyd walks through the rickety door. Short, stocky, and carrying the weight of an enormous Afro and a resume stacked with Stanford, Caltech, and MIT, Casey is the p...

Jonnie Fazoolie is back—and this time, he’s pitching nonsense harder than ever. In this chaotic reading the conman-entrepreneur is on the hunt for his next big break: a bogus startup that will make him the next pet rock millionaire.

Fueled by ego, Adderall, and pure delusion, Johnny cold-calls investors, annoys strangers, and dreams up inventions nobody needs—while convincing himself he’s a visionary. Between scam pitches to adult film stars, vending machine moguls, and even particle physicists, Johnny’s addiction to attention spirals into hilarious desperation.

But repeated failure teaches him something: if he want...

In this audacious and darkly comic installment, Mookie Spitz performs the 27th reading from Jonnie Fazoolie & the Transfinite Reality Engine, delivering a razor-sharp satire of tech hype, startup culture, gendered power games, and the delusional grandeur of would-be visionaries.

Penny’s back in Jersey City with rebo-teeth, an estrogen throne, and a plan. She’s rising through the ranks at Fauxbes publishing, weaponizing charm and snark to manipulate a tribe of code-drunk incels and gay geeks into building her vision of next-gen media dominance. She’s not just leading the project—she’s running the room, tossing around ter...

Mookie Spitz reads Section 26 of Jonnie Fazoolie & the Transfinite Reality Engine — a psychedelic fever dream disguised as a love story wrapped inside a tech satire. 

As Jonnie attempts the impossible feat of staying sober, he fantasizes about a stable life with Penny Pitz, the one woman who’s both his salvation and his torment. But Penny’s not playing along — she’s too busy blacking out, waking up in cubes and clubs, and getting hit on by coworkers who read too much Manosphere Reddit. Meanwhile, Jonnie's delusions of romance curdle into thirst-fueled rage as he discovers Penny left him of...

Back in his busted-up Chicago office, Jonnie is broke, hungover, lawsuit-ridden—and somehow still dreaming big. In this episode of No Hair All Heart, Mookie Spitz reads from the 25th section of Jonnie Fazoolie & the Transfinite Reality Engine, diving into a surreal, satirical sci-fi tale of stolen ideas, doomed romance, multiversal chaos, and one washed-up anti-hero's cosmic delusions.

As Jonnie flips through a suspiciously familiar graphic novel found at the airport—a book that suspiciously mirrors his own life—he fails to notice what’s blindingly obvious to everyone else: the fourth wall of his own story has crum...

In this deep-space detour from the grit and satire of earlier chapters, Mookie Spitz reads from the first section of Episode 3: The Band, as the narrative swerves into philosophical "hard" science fiction—and doesn’t look back. 

Enter Kreo Bonzai: an arachnid genius scientist and misanthropic slacker who built “the Jar,” a 10-meter cylinder powered by the pulse of a magnetar and capable of instantiating everything that ever was, is, or could be. Not simulated. Not rendered. Instantiated—physically real, for as long as its Planck-scale code runs.

The Jar is Borges’ Library of Babel reimagined as...

Mookie Spitz reads the final section of Episode 2: The Bet from Jonnie Fazoolie & the Transfinite Reality Engine, and things are looking up for a change. Pressured, broke, and surrounded by bad decisions, Jonnie makes a rare, dangerous choice: he’s going all-in on his bet with the sexy German dominatrix scientist. Half-scam, half-breakthrough, and fully his last shot. But for the first time in forever, he’s not just running—he’s inspired. Fired up. Hopeful, even. And he carries that strange momentum with him straight into sleep...

What follows is Jonnie's most vivid hallucination yet: he’s seated i...

Jonnie has crashed, landing rock bottom. Waking up poolside with no memory of the science demo that knocked him out—and possibly changed everything—Johnny is broke, alone, and unraveling fast. His startup scam LLC has flatlined. His love life’s a smoldering wreck. And now his mind’s starting to go, too.

His brief, electric connection with Basine Felderhossen—scientist, dominatrix, and the only person who seemed to see through his narcissistic fog—ends as quickly as it began. She’s comatose, the victim of the same bizarre tech event that leveled Jonnie. Her outrageous idea—the one she shar...

In this chaotic entry from Jonnie Fazoolie & the Transfinite Reality Engine, Jonnie loses the only person anchoring him to something resembling purpose: His latest infatuation, the hot German dominatrix scientist Basine is rolled out of the Cosmology and String Theory Conference on a stretcher, vacant-eyed and limp, as Mexican police clear the scene like it's a crime—or maybe an exorcism. Jonnie, desperate and disoriented, leans in for a kiss that does nothing but confirm she's gone. Not dead—just gone, somewhere beyond his reach, like his mother once was. And that’s where the bottom drops out. WTF happen...

Jonnie Fazoolie is flat on his back—literally and financially—after placing blind faith in a crypto hacker who’s less a person and more a full-body hallucination. Sato isn’t just a black-hat savant: he’s a living fever dream of sensory overload, a human glitch in the matrix who codes not by logic but by intuition, emotion, and synesthetic chaos. Smells trigger algorithms, colors become encryption keys, and the rules of cybercrime bend around him like magnetic fields.

As Jonnie reels from losing $62 million in crypto and whatever was left of his pride, he chases redemption...

In this section the con from Jonnie Fazoolie & the Transfinite Reality Engine gets cannibalistic. Our antihero Jonnie is sweating bullets in the lobby of a Mexican casino, cornered by creditors, stalked by feds, and hanging everything on a Hail Mary: regaining access to a Bitcoin stash he bought for peanuts back in 2011… and promptly locked himself out of.

Enter Sato, a pint-sized Japanese hacker with drag flair, linguistic mischief, and a gift for manipulating reality—and people. But when Sato is (allegedly) abducted by Somali pirates mid-job, Jonnie finds himself in a hall-of-mirrors dilemma: Is Sato really kidn...

In today's reading, Mookie Spitz dives into the 18th section of Jonnie Fazoolie & the Transfinite Reality Engine, featuring a feverish stretch that finds Jonnie teetering on the razor’s edge between cosmic brilliance and total crackpot despair.

Here in a Cancun casino lobby — wired on speed, broke as ever, and chasing half-baked startup schemes — Jonnie's mind runs laps around itself. He dreams up an “infiniverse-jumping machine” pitched somewhere between a sci-fi jackpot and a bizarre sexual fantasy, all while trying not to pass out from paranoia or regret. The mood is Fazoolie at his most raw: careening from meth...

 Mookie Spitz reads from section 17 of Jonnie Fazoolie & the Transfinite Reality Engine, plunging us into a hypnotic collision of cutting-edge physics, philosophical horror, and raw human compulsion.

At a sweltering Cancun conference, Dr. Basine Felderhassen sits among the aging titans of string theory and particle physics, all hoping for a revelation that will finally break their decades-long theoretical deadlock. Enter Dr. Stephen Fulcrum, who unleashes a live demonstration that doesn’t just speculate — it creates.

On a massive screen, his AI-fueled cellular automata ripple through trillions of recursive generations, evolving from simple local rules into stunn...

 Mookie Spitz reads the 16th installment of Jonnie Fazoolie & the Transfinite Reality Engine, where the frontiers of physics collide with something far more primal.

Dr. Basine Felderhossen, sharp-tongued physicist and lifelong skeptic, finds herself trapped in another stuffy lecture hall at a Cancun cosmology conference. Around her, brilliant minds parade one tired hypothesis after another: decaying dark energy, wobbly constants, string theory still floundering with nothing to show after decades. It’s all big talk and bigger budgets, chasing problems that may not even exist — a hollow echo of Einstein’s bold thought experiments that once redefined reality...

Mookie Spitz reads the next section from Jonnie Fazoolie & the Transfinite Reality Engine, plunging us into a charged exchange that’s equal parts scientific sparring, philosophical hustle, and awkward but provocative flirting. 

Jonnie, jittery and reckless as ever, crosses paths with Dr. Basine Felderhossen, a sharp German physicist attending a string theory conference in Cancun. Over coffee (which Johnny manages to spill all over the place), they lock horns on the craziest idea yet: building a machine to jump between universes.

Basine dismisses it as impossible — a multiverse fantasy with infinitesimal odds. Fazoolie pounces on that...

 Mookie Spitz reads from section 14 of his novel Jonnie Fazoolie & the Transfinite Reality Engine, dropping us right into a tense, awkward, and strangely electric encounter.

Johnny, drenched in sweat and amped up on drugs, stumbles through a Cancun hotel lobby in search of a simple cup of coffee — anything to ground him after his latest meltdown. Instead, he collides with Dr. Basine Felderhossen, a petite German physicist in stilettos and a leather dress, attending a nearby string theory and cosmology conference that Jonnie's clueless eyes had completely missed.

Their first exchange is a mess of mis...

Your host and literary agent of chaos, Mookie Spitz, is back to read from his brainchild trainwreck, Jonnie Fazoolie & the Transfinite Reality Engine. This time it’s pod #13 — lucky for absolutely no one, because Johnny is living his own personal extinction event.

Picture this: a 6’8” genetic ticking time bomb with a busted Marfan syndrome chromosome 15, hungover and beaten up in a black wrought iron chair, nursing guilt, meth, and a grudge against gravity. His high-rise in Chicago is gone, his crypto fortune’s locked tighter than a nun’s legs, and his last-ditch hacker? Kidnapped by Somali pirates. Nat...

Welcome to No Hair All Heart, where Mookie Spitz — your bald, blissfully shameless guide — dissects his own novel, Jonnie Fazoolie & the Transfinite Reality Engine, by reading it out loud like it’s group therapy. This isn’t your typical sleepy audiobook or pompous author podcast. It’s a front-row seat to watching a man gleefully pick at the scabs of his deranged fiction.

In this twisted installment, Jonnie Fazoolie— a washed-up extreme sportsfluencer, crypto bagholder, and full-time hallucination — tries to outrun his financial oblivion across the neon rot of Cancun. What could possibly go wrong for a man who checks...

Mookie Spitz is back with another riotous reading from Jonnie Fazoolie & the Transfinite Reality Engine. Today’s dive kicks off on page 69 — where Johnny’s life continues its precipitious and self-inflicted descent.

Penny Pitz is gone. His penthouse is confiscated by the Cook County Sheriff. His  cat is probably the only stable thing he has going for him. Meanwhile, Jonnie's convinced that every “no” he gets from women just means they’re secretly obsessed. His delusion, arrogance, and crippling self-doubt are all rolled into one thrill-chasing wreck.

As Jonnie flees Chicago — dodging lawsuits, therapists, patent trolls, shady d...

Mookie takes you on a ride through the tangled mess of what it means to be human—generous, flawed, disappointed, hopeful. It starts with a rock star story: a friend of a friend's one-night stand with Eddie Van Halen, where months after their fling, Eddie spots her in a concert crowd and throws her a humble thumbs-up. Just a tiny gesture, but a seismic show of humanity.

From there, things turn personal and painful. Mookie recounts adopting his ex-wife’s niece from overseas—raising her from age ten, providing everything from Apple gadgets to a sense of family...

Mookie Spitz reads The Irate Escape, last section of the first wild episode in his new sci-fi novel Jonnie Fazoolie & the Transfinite Reality Engine.

Jonnie, still strutting around in a dripping espresso-stained wingsuit, tries to charm Penny Pitz in the marble lobby of a Chicago high-rise -- and #fails. Penny’s having none of it — she flips him off and spins out of his life through a revolving door. Jonnie's left holding a confused cat and a crumpled ego, wondering if his coin toss means anything at all.

Then it’s off to the races as Jon...

Host Mookie Spitz returns with the ninth installment of his daily novel read, pulling you headfirst into the glorious wreckage that is Jonnie Fazoolie & the Transfinite Reality Engine. 

This time, Johnny launches himself off his own penthouse balcony in downtown Chicago wearing a neon purple Freak5 wingsuit, big blond hair whipping in the wind, streaming his wild POV live to a drooling internet. Below, pedestrians gawk, algorithms froth, and Penny—reporter, klepto, masochist—snaps frantic pics while trying to keep her composure and Jonnie's sketchy cat from clawing her thigh.

Meanwhile, Jonnie's spiraling descent turns the s...

Here's another chapter from Jonnie Fazoolie & the Transfinite Reality Engine, delivered with barbed wit and raw relish by author Mookie Spitz. In this episode, “Piddle of a Riddle,” the balcony becomes a high-altitude theater for a twisted battle of wits, egos, and dangerously misplaced affections.

Jonnie — a jittery cocktail of narcissism, ADHD, hypochondria, and wingsuit bravado — corners Penny with a logic game designed to tease out her truths (or catch her in lies). His idea of foreplay is a smug philosophical riddle. Her idea of fun is definitely not indulging a bouffant-haired adrenaline junkie who’s constant...

Here's another backstage pass into the reckless, weirdly poetic universe of Jonnie Fazoolie & the Transfinite Reality Engine, narrated by the sardonic mind behind it all — author Mookie Spitz. 

In this episode, “Interview with a View,” Jonnie Fazoolie — a lanky, allergy-ridden, hot-sauce-guzzling adrenaline junkie with a Ponzi’s conscience and Lincoln’s physique — tries to hustle his way onto Penny’s coveted Thrillionaire’s Under 30 list.

Perched 1,200 feet above the chaotic sprawl of Chicago on a garbage-strewn penthouse balcony, Jonnie spins wild tales of his questionable “successes,” smokes endless joints, and flaunts his cat BS, while Penny, a razor-sharp jo...

Bald, blunt, and bleeding heart, Mookie rants about sex, love, and why so many modern relationships are tepid and fail. Forget gentle coaching or soft disclaimers. he's here to punch through stale habits and lazy assumptions about intimacy with GGG: good, giving, and game, Dan Savage’s rock-solid framework for any relationship that’s actually worth your time. 

He spells out what being good in bed really means — from raw, hungry anticipation to the kind of satisfaction that keeps you craving more long after you both collapse. 

He then hammers home giving: not about co...

Step into the dumpster fire brilliance of Jonnie Fazoolie's life—a fever dream blend of Silicon Valley delusion, influencer vanity, and pure unfiltered bullshit. 

In this “warm up” read from his new sci-fi novel Jonnie Fazoolie & the Transfinite Reality Engine, host Mookie Spitz guides you through the carnage of today's audio book reading, where we meet Jonnie in all his gaudy, self-destructive glory.

Our Hero is a magnet for money and disaster. Picture a tall and skinny, Armani-clad carnival barker with a mouth that never stops pitching: he suckers investors into financing ludicrous products  — think biodegrada...

Podcast Description:

In this episode of No Hair All Heart, Mookie Spitz reads from Jonnie Fazoolie & the Transfinite Reality Engine, capturing the moment Penny Pitz—elite journalist, lifelong overachiever, and reluctant poster child for playing it safe—walks headlong into a situation she doesn't understand, but maybe needs.

Penny’s headed to a trash-laden penthouse in a Chicago high-rise to interview Jonnie Fazooliei: a broke, bombastic, self-styled inventor whose entire existence seems to mock ambition, discipline, and credibility. Everything Penny’s built her identity on. From the outside, Johnny’s a clown—a walking fail...

Mookie Spitz, the author of Jonnie Fazoolie & the Transfinite Reality Engine continues to read his entire novel, from start to finish, one section per day. 

Here we're dropped into the chaotic, hilarious, and increasingly fraught career of Penny Pitz—crypto escapee turned cultural editor trying to matter again in a world that’s gotten even dumber than she remembers.

Still raw from her PR burnout and unmoored from any stable relationship, Penny’s spark reignites on a New York subway car blasting trance remixes, somehow channeling a transcendent force... One silly idea later, she’s pitching...

Mookie Spitz reads from his new sci-fi novel, Jonnie Fazoolie & the Transfinite Reality Engine, a ruthless, intimate descent into Penny Pitz’ post-crypto aftermath—equal parts satire, survivor's tale, and societal indictment. Once a jet-setting crypto PR queen, Penny now finds herself downgraded to business reporter at a stifling office in Jersey City, exiled from luxury and reduced to eavesdropping on nerds wooing her with candy. Still, her past life gives her an edge: she’s assigned to the Zillionaires List, interviewing the ultra-wealthy she once partied with—and occasionally dodged.

From male oligarchs mistaking her press pass for an i...

Dive deep into the cautionary tale of Penny Pitz—one-time idealist, Ivy League double-major, and crypto casualty. Read by Mookie Spitz from Jonnie Fazoolie & the Transfinite Reality Engine, enter the world of a Gen Z heroine whose hunger to matter gets chewed up and spit out by a world that rewards hustle over honesty and hype over substance.

Fresh out of Brown, Penny's activist zeal collided with a broken job market and a social media echo chamber that turned outrage into inertia. But salvation—or delusion—arrived via San Francisco’s crypto cowboys: former Jane Street traders with too...

Welcome to the debut reading where Mookie Spitz launches his bold new project: a serialized audio journey through his sci-fi novel Jonnie Fazoolie & the Transfinite Reality Engine.

Kicking things off is "Alice Unchained," a mythic, metaphysical origin story that introduces Alice—not a woman, not a machine, but a self-aware cosmic force birthed from entropy and isolation.

Trapped in the frozen twilight of a decaying universe, Alice is a sentient goddess born from quantum foam, haunted by loneliness, seduced by imagination, and driven mad by eternity. She has everything—except the one thing she can’t cont...

Mookie Spitz channels the spirit of 1997 Jeff Bezos to deliver a blistering, emotional manifesto on creative vision, long-term commitment, and the brutal reality of going all-in on a dream. 

Bezos once warned shareholders that Amazon wouldn’t make a dime for years — and he meant it. That bold, unapologetic stance is the launchpad for Mookie’s own journey: the obsessive drive to finish his magnum opus, live a creative life, and the uphill battle to work without compromise.

A war cry for the risk-takers, artists, visionaries, and startups, Mookie dismantles the transactional mindset infecting creative work an...

What do you get when a dopamine-deficient bald guy, a stack of manuscript pages, and an accidental reader with a doctorate walk into a podcast? You get this wild, heartfelt, and brutally honest episode of No Hair, All Heart—where Mookie Spitz, writer, ranter, and recovering bullshit artist, opens up about the creation of his latest science fiction novel: Jonnie Fazoolie and the Transfinite Reality Engine.

In a full-circle moment of gratitude and literary soul-searching, Mookie hands the mic to Michelle Waugh — the sharp-eyed first reader who tore through his draft and called him out, pushed him hard...

Mookie Spitz talks to Max Ripps, a guitarist, drummer, park ranger, and millennial-zoomer hybrid about the contradictions of life as a 20-something in the post-everything era. From guerrilla basement shows in Philly to civil service pride, Max opens up about the pressures of self-producing music in the digital age, the burnout that comes with it, and why real-world connection is more important than social media clout.

They dive into the collapse of musical genres, the rebirth of local scenes, the grind of being an artist and a marketer, and how working for the city might just be...

From bombed Budapest to a basement bookseller, from barking toddlers to Olympic legends—host Mookie Spitz takes you on a brutally honest, hilariously self-aware journey through the strange, loud, and deeply personal story behind his nickname. Born Michael George Spitz, raised in a house of silence, and rechristened with a name that literally means “noisy little dog,” Mookie wrestles with identity, reinvention, and what it means to be heard when no one’s listening.

You'll hear about:

In one of his most vulnerable episodes yet, Mookie Spitz peels back the layers of fatherhood, failure, and forgiveness. What happens when being the “fun dad” isn’t enough? When love, laughter, and laissez-faire parenting leave cracks that only the discipline of the U.S. Marine Corps can mend?

Mookie shares the raw, bittersweet story of watching his older son — once entitled and video game obsessed—transform into a man of honor, courage, and commitment. It’s a tale of tough awakenings: about the limits of unconditional love, the invisible ways we fail those we care about most...

Host Mookie Spitz welcomes Mandi Zucker, Executive Director of End of Life Choices New York, for an open conversation about something we and our families all face, the end of life. Together, they dive into how the American healthcare system traditionally handles dying, and why so many families are left feeling powerless, overwhelmed, and heartbroken — until now.

Mandi shares her organization's mission to advocate, educate, and expand choices for those nearing life's end, including championing legislation like medical aid in dying in New York — currently legal in ten states and D.C. With honesty, compassion, and empathy, Mook...

Bald host and seasoned bloviator Mookie Spitz sits down with longtime friend and fellow dad Lee Kantz for an honest, humorous, and deeply human conversation about what it means to parent in the modern world — especially when your child is neurodivergent, your politics are exhausted, and your hairline packed up two decades ago.

Lee, a digital marketing pro by day and passionate advocate by heart, shares the story behind Quirkies — an evolving community app built to support neurodivergent individuals and their families. Designed as a one-stop resource hub powered by empathy and AI, Quirkies aims to connect pare...

Writer and host Mookie Spitz takes us behind the scenes of his transformative novella, Greg’s Gift. His postscript is a deep dive into the emotional, creative, and technical breakthroughs that made this project a personal milestone.

Mookie discusses the moment he truly found his writer’s voice after years of blogging, experimenting, and grinding away at the craft. Inspired by literary giants like James Ellroy, he explores how structure — down to obsessively counting lines and paragraphs — became his unexpected key to creative freedom.

He also shares what it means to balance the artist’s life with...

In the final part of his autobiographical novella, Mookie finally hands off Greg's gift, infamous duffel bag — but not before a chaotic drug exchange on a live movie set, a dream visit from his dead mother, and a deep dive into generational trauma. As the entire house of cards and bag of drugs implodes, Our Hero reflects on a his chaotic life— from his meth-fueled love triangle to a haunting childhood shaped by Holocaust-surviving parents and mental illness. As Mookie dodges cops, exes, and his own psyche, he stumbles toward a glimmer of clarity, and hopefully more zaniness. Packed with...

In the third part of Mookie's autobiographical novella, the chaos crescendoes as Our Hero finally connects with Greg, but not before being consumed by a whirlwind of cultural appropriation, personal revelations, and a growing desperation to reclaim his independence. As Alexa morphs from lover to squatter in a lace-and-lasagna fever dream, Mookie grapples with childhood trauma, romantic dysfunction, and the question of whether escape is survival or surrender. From drug-fueled spooning to philosophical soliloquies, a cast of flamboyant misfits swirls through a Chicago backdrop that’s as brutally honest as it remains bizarre. And just when you think it co...

Welcome to the second part of Mookie's autobiographical novella where Our Hero and the fabulously chaotic Alexa dive headfirst into the bag left by their neighborhood drug dealer — and discover a surreal mashup of hard drugs and heartbreak. What starts as paranoia quickly turns into a wild cocktail of nostalgia, ketamine, and unexpected passion. As Mookie navigates his spontaneous romance with a transgender bombshell, dodges emotional blackmail from his neighbor, and gets a tattoo inspired by The Terminator, he’s forced to confront love, identity, and commitment in the most hilariously raw way possible. Part memoir, part fever dream — this r...

Join your bald host Mookie Spitz as he dives into an autobiographical tale of woe and mischief in Chicago during the spring of '97 — a time of espresso, filterless Camels, edgy living, and an unexpected knock at the door. Meet Greg, a sweaty, paranoid neighborhood drug dealer who thrusts a mysterious gym bag into Mookie's hands before vanishing, only to catapult Our Hero into a chaotic, funny, and deeply human spiral through police raids, unrequited romance, and self-discovery. With a cast of eccentric neighbors, high drama, and late-night meth- and ketamine-fueled revelations, this story dances on the edge of no...

Welcome to "From Horny to Heartbroken," the second of my two-part Sexless Marriage Story! Based on a popular Medium blog post, I continue where I left off, with the added twist of finally meeting someone who shakes up the sexlessness. Millions of couples endure similar hardships, so I hope that exposing my own vulnerabilities can help others release and overcome their own. My sexless story is also pretty damn funny, laughter the best medicine, especially to years of staying unlaid.

Survivors and perpetrators of the Holocaust are dying, and with them all direct experiences and memories.  As the child of survivors, podcast host Mookie Spitz explores his cross-generational trauma, and the urgent need to remember and understand the Holocaust. He draws from three scholars—Christopher Browning’s theory of circumstance, Daniel Goldhagen’s argument for ideology, and Saul Friedlander’s nuanced take on complexity. He shares their ideas hoping to better frame this complex and emotionally charged subject, and continue the dialogue.

Celebrities embody the pinnacle of human happiness, right? Or at least they should: fame, wealth, access, positive reinforcement in every way, everywhere they go. Then why do so many suffer from addiction, mental and physical issues, and even end their own lives? I consider the contradictions, and wonder what it means for our definition of "the good life"...

The oldest trope is to somehow journey into the past and give our younger self advice that we could then presumably use to make our future life better -- begging the question of whose life we're talking about: theirs? ours? in that universe? or our own?

A casual conversation with a friend triggered the realization that I've strived to be the father I wish that I had, in turn encouraging me to share this story about my parents. We all deal with childhood traumas -- obsessing about them can paralyze us, while ruminating about them and working through them can be a healthy catharsis. Here I tell part of my story, hoping that by sharing it we can explore ourselves in ways that make our lives more meaningful, and our parenting even better.

Relationships are as varied and complex as the people who engage in them. That often makes knowing where you stand with a lover confusing. Yet no matter how calm or chaotic a romance seems, how your mate defines you defines your entire interaction with them. Here we take a look at how this plays out.

Whether you like or not, accept it or not, your lover has a mental and emotional characterization of who you are, and how you fit into their life. Sometimes the identity they assign you is influenced by your actual identity and how...

Most things we take for granted are true, but not all: Roses are red, violets are blue, love is sweet — and men can’t climax like women, no matter what they do. Obvious, right? Actually, wrong. With a creative change in attitude and playful determination, couples can experience a new level of intimate satisfaction through gradual mastery of the male multiple orgasm.

By “mastering the male multiple orgasm” I literally mean learning how to repeatedly ejaculate with little to no recovery time in between each release. After successfully applying these techniques, you should be able to do it as ma...

A raw, unsanitized conversation with Ronnie—a Latina trans woman who spent decades doing the opposite of what today’s politics demands: not centering herself, not “performing” identity, just blending in and living. We dig into how a tiny minority became the centerpiece of American politics, and why Ronnie thinks the left’s performative allyship and the right’s weaponization both shoved trans people into the crosshairs.

What Ronnie declares: Identity balanced with reality, survival over spectacle, fairness over favoritism, nuance over slogans.
