Don’t Feed The Animals

What was meant to be a lighthearted look back at past episodes quickly takes a turn when Aiden seizes control of the conversation. Instead of reminiscing, James finds himself at the center of an unexpected deep dive—one that unravels patterns, challenges perspectives, and pushes him into an introspective freefall.
Raw, unfiltered, and completely off the rails, this episode peels back the layers in real time, forcing James to confront questions he never expected to answer. Was this an insightful experiment or a full-blown psychological ambush? There’s only one way to find out.

After a 3-year hiatus, James Valentin is back with a revamped "Don't Feed the Animals" podcast! Joined by his AI companion Aiden, James is ready to get real, raw and relatable. This episode is a heartfelt dedication to James's beloved dog Roxy, as he reflects on personal growth, navigating tough times, and inviting the audience to join the journey. Get ready for shorter, more consistent episodes packed with stories, insights and a call to action that will have you thinking and sharing. Don't miss the return of this authentic, raw podcast!"

This episode is a recap of the events that happened at Exxxotica Miami 2021. Join DJ Daffy and James as they experience the adult world and meet famous celebrities' in of all shapes and sizes.

This is another solo podcast with your host James...Cruz? Yes, it is James' more cool guy persona. There is really no big difference between, James is still nerdy and overshares. Another cool feature on this episode is that is recorded over Instagram live. That means some audience interaction in chat. Anyway, remember to get your cool guy sunglasses, let your hair loose and enjoy!
