Episode 13 - The M.A.D. Lads in Ireland 🇮🇪

In this episode of Born Reddy Podcast, I’m joined by two absolute Mad Lads who said F it, bought flights on a whim, and somehow trusted each other enough to meet for the very first time at the airport on the way to Ireland. No group chat. No practice run. Just vibes and blind faith.

Devin Thomas is a filmmaker, writer, and host of the Unscripted Podcast. Marc Noble is a successful real estate agent and a damn good golfer. These two had never met in real life before landing in Dublin to come visit me, and for their first time ever in Ireland, they jumped in headfirst and never looked back.

On our second day in Ireland, we posted up at The Thatch in Ferns, County Wexford and recorded Episode 13 live from the pub. Massive thank you to Paul Doyle for letting us take over a corner, roll cameras, and fully lean into the good craic.

We talk about how this trip even happened, meeting face to face for the first time at the airport, and going straight into a full Dublin day hitting the Jameson Distillery, Temple Bar, Bambino Pizza, and the Christmas Markets with lights, crowds, and pints flowing. Then we slow it down in proper Irish fashion around the small villages of Ferns and Gorey before setting our sights on the next stops of the trip, Edinburgh, London, and Prague. All of it goes down while we are actively crushing pints of Guinness and I do my best to teach the lads the sacred art of splitting the G.

I also surprise them with a true Irish initiation. Tayto crisps, a full Celebrations box of sweets, and pastries from our local legend and absolute wizard baker Pawel at Sweet Passion Desserts. We give nothing but brutally honest reviews. To close out the nearly two hour episode, I order a Chinese takeaway live on the mic so the boys can try their very first Spice Bag. The vibes were so good they probably should have been illegal.

Expect big laughs, real stories, slurred words, terrible accents, a few wildly unnecessary Trump impressions, and that rare kind of energy you only get when friends become brothers on a trip they’ll never forget.

Christmas in Ireland. First-timers. Big hearts. Bigger laughs. Unreal good craic.

Reddy or not…

Dublin the Fun 🇮🇪

In this episode, we pick up right where Part 1 left off — but this time, we’re Dublin the Fun.
Michael Garmany (@theholdupmusic) and I dive into questions from fans, friends, and family… then take a full trip down memory lane, looking at old photos that span years of friendship, chaos, growth, and creative evolution.
We laughed, we almost cried, we nearly peed — pure nostalgia and pure craic all in one episode.

Michael also shares what he’s working on next — new music, creative projects, and the direction he’s headed. If you’re a fan of The Holdup, you’ll want to hear what’s coming.

Topics:
Fan Q&A, friendship, creative journeys, memories, nostalgia, emotional honesty, storytelling, Ireland, Dublin craic, old photos, creativity, life updates

Michael spent the last two weeks here in Ireland with me and Papa Reddy — and this episode is basically us hitting record on all the madness, magic, and memories we packed in. Day trips to Dublin, London, and Edinburgh (oh my). Reiki sessions with Patricia. Michael’s first-ever psychic reading with Dee… which turned into two very different experiences for us.We also reminisce about our tour across America and Canada — the chaos, the long drives, the wild stories, and the kind of moments that somehow turn into lifelong memories.

Reddy or not… here’s Part 1.

In Episode 11 of Born Reddy, my dad was supposed to join me as my special guest… but he wasn’t REDDY. 😂 So, the show must go on.

I dive into my birthday reflections — this is 41 — and what this new chapter feels like while living abroad in Ireland. I talk about gratitude, time, and how stepping away from what’s familiar helps you see life differently. Living abroad has taught me the power of detachment — how letting go of old attachments, people, and comfort zones can open space for new opportunities, growth, and self-discovery. You get to choose who you want to be and rebuild your foundation from the ground up.

Plus, I share a “Reddy or Not” story from when I got my driver’s license at 16… driving a car I’d never driven before, almost failing the vision test out of embarrassment, and somehow still pulling it off. A perfect metaphor for showing up — even when you’re literally not ready.

Topics: Fatherhood, birthdays, growth, Ireland, detachment, living abroad, reflection, funny coming-of-age stories

Episode 9 — Tiny Topics & Thoughts

We talk about fasting at 8 years old—and how that wild memory led me to accidentally discover mindful eating. Slowing down, tasting every bite, listening to my body… tiny shift, huge ripple.

I also close the book on Brené Brown’s The Gifts of Imperfection and unpack the heavy hitters: self-worth, the “never satisfied / not good enough” loop, and the armor I’m finally setting down. What’s changing for me—right now.

Then the gut punch truth: no job title or paycheck will ever give me the joy I get from building my own thing. Freedom over approval. Craft over clout. I’m choosing the lane that loves me back. This is Born Reddy. 🎙️

I don’t chase bees, but somehow they chase me — buzzing into my lap, crawling up my leg, and messing with my sanity. In this episode of Born Reddy Podcast, I read them a beeutiful truce letter… because maybe it’s not random, maybe it’s a sign.

I also dive into finishing Brené Brown’s The Gifts of Imperfection — and the heavy hitters that stuck with me: self-worth, not being good enough, and never feeling satisfied.

And then there’s the part that hit me hardest — a close friend giving me feedback and support that moved me to tears of joy.

This one’s about the mystery of signs, the sting of doubt, and the sweetness of knowing you’re supported.
Raw, unscripted, and keeping it real — this is Born Reddy.

Hi, my name is Anthony — and I’ve always been a sensitive soul. For a long time, I thought that being sensitive was a weakness. Now I see it as my edge… my blessing, my gift.

In this episode of Born Reddy Podcast, I share what it looks like to embrace sensitivity, lean into hard things, and turn struggle into strength.

Here’s what I dive into:

🌊 Owning my sensitivity instead of hiding from it.

💪 The grind of the gym & yoga — and how hard things build real belief.

🏋️‍♂️ Why failure under the weights leads to success in the world.

🏈 The wild story of 8-year-old me fasting for two days to make peewee football weigh-ins.

🍔 Jr. Bacon Western Cheeseburgers and the eternal truth: Burger King might just be the GOAT.

This one’s about heart, grit, and the weird mix of both that makes us who we are. Raw, unscripted, and still keeping it real — this is Born Reddy.

In this episode of Born Reddy Podcast, I talk about being untethered — floating through life, yet still dancing to my own beat.

Fresh off The Untethered Soul, I dive into trusting myself, letting go of imitation wants, and finding balance in the mess of life. But honestly — the real game-changers were my recent Reiki session and my very first psychic visit. Both the medium and the clairvoyant dropped insights that were straight up mind-blowing, holy-shit moments. It was less about answers and more about the kind of truth you can actually feel — the kind that cracked me open in ways I didn’t see coming.

I even pull a live Angel Tarot reading — Find out which card I got.

If everything’s made up and everything matters… then maybe the best way is your way.

It’s probably not for sure Episode 5 — and it’s time we get up close and personal . I talk about taking a vow of silence (speechless move), saying goodbye to my twin brother aka my skin tag (rest in peas), reconnecting with old friendships, and road-tripping through Ireland with Papa Reddy. Through it all, I keep landing on the same truth: everything’s going to be okay.
