Today's episode is all about games. No surprise there.

Brianne Chandler -- known online as Miss Movies -- runs a YouTube channel, hosts a podcast, and has two kids and a loving husband. But, as with all of us, there's much more than meets the eye when it comes to Brianne. Today's episode of CLS:FS focuses on mental health, various oddities in the movie industry, and much more.

Hey All,
I hope you're doing very well!
You may recall that, back in the Spring, I outlined a "vacation schedule" so as to alert you of when new videos wouldn't be springing up. With Episode 50 released, it's time for me to take a week off, only my second week off since March.
The next new episode of Colin's Last Stand will appear on YouTube and Patreon on Monday, October 23. That said, Fireside Chats will proceed uninterrupted, so expect new episodes of the show to roll out...

One of my closest friends on this planet is Erick Castro, one of the world's great craft cocktail bartenders, owner of the James Beard Award-nominated bar Polite Provisions, and an all-around great guy. We sat down to chat about his new documentary, what it's like to own businesses, and why alcohol is just so damn good.

Don't volunteer your own rights for elimination.
NOTE: I usually don't put anything extra in these posts, but I wanted to let y'all know -- as discussed way back in the Spring -- that I'll be taking the week of October 16th off. It'll be my second full week off since I began CLS in March, and I'm looking forward to getting some real, actual downtime.
Next week, Episode 50 will post on Wednesday. There will be no Monday/Thursday structure for the week, because Episode 50 is gonna be...

My buddy Jeff Cannata -- well-known podcast host, actor, and gamer -- swung by Santa Monica today for a discussion that revolved almost entirely around politics. I come from a moderate right position. He comes from a moderate left position. The results are... well... a really great, totally reasonable chat about The Age of Trump.
(Oh, and we talked a bit about VR and parenthood, too.)

Hey All,
Let's chat.
Over the years that I've been blessed enough to write, podcast, and create videos for an audience, I've always felt like I could be very open with those that consume what I put out into the world. I suppose this is one of those times of absolute candor.
In short, I'm feeling really, really stressed out lately. I feel like I don't have enough time in a day (or week) to do everything I need to do to keep what CLS has become running properly, while also tak...

Hello!
The day has finally arrived. I'm pleased to announce Colin's Last Stand's official collaboration with Declaration Clothing, the online retailer of all things American History!
As many of you have seen over the past few years, I'm a big fan of Declaration Clothing. I own most of their shirts! My awareness of the brand started back in I think 2013 or 2014, when I received a random package in the mail with a couple of cool historical shirts. As time went on, I went and bought m...

This week's super-long episode of Fireside Chats stars my best friend, Ramon Narvaez. We track the winding story of his life as a musician, from his origins in middle school to today, playing bass and guitar with the likes of Bad Rabbits and Parson James. And towards the end? Well, things get a little big philosophical, too.
(Please Note: Due to Patreon's 200MB limit on audio files, this episode of CLS:FS was exported at 192kbps, as opposed to the usual 256kbps. Exporting the file in t...

Greetings and Salutations!
I hope this News Burst finds you all doing very well. This week has already been a busy and eventful one on my end: Today, I’m adding the finishing touches to Part II of the Hypothetical Presidency of Colin Moriarty video that you all voted for. Additionally, I’m continuing to work with my merch guy to hopefully roll everything out as soon as this coming week; we’re just ironing out some wrinkles (pardon the pun) so that everything is perfect (as you deser...

Episode 3 of Colin's Last Stand: Fireside Chats has arrived! It goes back to the monologue/spoken essay format, and it's a rather personal episode. I hope you enjoy it.
Two notes:
1.) The next few episodes are going to be the same format as Episode 2 (unless something goes catastrophically wrong). So expect longer episodes with a guest coming up over the next few weeks.
2.) I've decided to rework the 5,000+ subscriber goal. I like doing the show. It's fun, and it's therap...

Hey All!
I hope this week’s News Burst finds you very well, and that all is going swimmingly in your lives.
I’m starting to get back on track here in LA. My dad was here for four days, and it was great spending time with him, but, as always, that threw my work off course, so I’m playing a bit of catch-up. (Speaking of which, for all of you $10+/month Patreon subscribers, the monthly Q&A video is going live today, likely right around the time this posts, so keep an eye out.)

This week's Fireside Chat comes packing a different format I want to pilot.
What if I occasionally grabbed the people in my life and asked them five totally random questions, and then saw where that conversation took us?
That's exactly what I decided to do with my dad the day after we recorded our 9/11 episode of CLS. Enjoy!
Please Note: This podcast is quieter than it should be. My dad is fairly soft-spoken, and since he's never podcasted before, he didn't "st...

(I was going to split this episode into two, but decided against it. Didn't seem like the right thing to do. It'll be the only episode of the show this week, to give it room to breathe. Please consider sharing it with family and friends.)
