January hasn’t even ended and so far we have seen: Capitol riots, a second impeachment, a free market revolt, crashed planes, aliens, Super-COVID, and Tom Brady clinch another Super Bowl visit. I can’t even fucking clean my room. Who are we? Where are we? What in the hell are we doing and does it even make sense? These are all valid questions we should be asking ourselves as we embark into the new unknown. I ask that you to tune in and start living your truth. Because sooner or later you’re gonna die and then what???

My dear friend and OG C.C. guest Mr. Trent Knox joins me to share his thoughts and feelings about 2020. Like many Trent was left scratching his head saying, “what the fuck is actually going on?” And with 2021 officially upon us, there isn’t much left for us to do than to take aim at some goals and intentions as we brave into the new unknown.

Follow Trent.

(Recorded on 12/29/2020) I sit down with the madman himself Knives Monroe as we discuss the utter shiftiest that was 2020. On the heels of one of the craziest years of all time, we dive into the high points and low lights that came with the year 2020 and all that we have to look forward to in 2021. There was a ton of chaos to experience over the last year so hopefully this episode can help restore some order. With only a few days left, sit back with us and reflect on this wild ride. 

Over one week removed from the 2020 presidential election and the good ol' United States is still standing, for now. With season 2020 of earth nearing its end, we look to 2021 with hope and determination...or something like that. I also discuss my current fitness/recovery regimen and some tips to stay motivated as we approach the new year.

Death is imminent, it is all around us, and in 2020 it is on the tip of our tongues. When I was younger I used to think I was the only one with this fear; that I was the only one plagued with sleepless nights and anxiety ridden panic attacks. As I embraced the idea of death more and more I began to realize that everyone has their own way of coping with the ultimate end. Hear my thoughts on dying, what role psychedelics play, and how I think we can become more comfortable with the big nap. I encourage those of you who have something to say about this topic reach out to me through any of the social media platforms or at [email protected] I would love to expand on the topic more and hear what you have to say.

Michael “Rickshaw” Martin is the former bassist of Iwrestledabearonce and is the current creator and host of Worship & Tribute Nerd. We discuss living life on the road in a full time band, post band life, his recent move to Austin Texas and his new creative endeavors. We talk about the idea of a perfect plan and how even if it doesn’t work out initially, you can still press on and live out your truth.

We often overthink our actions to the point of paralysis. We wonder, “what if I fail?”, “What if I don’t make it?” These “what-if’s” these hesitations that come our way are mental blocks that are results of nature and nurture. We get caught up in a motion that over takes us, a thought that stunts our movement forward. What we need to do is take action. At first it may seem as though the action is aimless but in doing so we find the building blocks of motivation and purpose. We must overcome the resistance and take action for the very sake of our mental clarity and livelihood.
