It's always interesting talking to new artists. especially when Salem Oregon doesn't really have a sound...

I'm Not even talking about hip-hop either, It never really grown outside of its infancy, what do I know? everything actually, its my fucking show and my little universe. 

you clicked here friend!

oh wait, why am I so angry. its almost the end of the year!

tonight I dip into the alternative scene, Meet Boi Punki from Salem.

As an army of 1 can be tough, the only reason I see y'all taking interest in him is the fact that he does his own production work and performing and recording,

stay till the vary end for a perforce of his song "talk some mess" and his EP Angel Names out now!

After A Brief Hiatus and a few witch trials later, Im Glad to show you a Reboot of sorts. 

talking to George was eye opening on how life in a matter of months can change.

someone told me were all growing and love is a practice, that's shit but I kinda get it now.

big thanks again for George coming on and talking about the issues that still matter, the politics that make our state shine and look like a pile of shit to some. maybe Oregon needs to take a hiatus too and really reflect on how to make it better, I think phasing out the old white men is a start but that's why I do what I do and George does his, making a strong argument and really explains more to me how the state needs help.

maybe even getting the bold endorsement to Christine Drazan.... hey Christine, if you're reading this, come on the show and talk your shit..... I mean use my platform to reach more voice in the Salem area to get a vote.... George really made good points and believe him when we talked about you that you are the one we need, have your people call me or I can come to you but Let's talk sometime ;)

I hope nothing for the best for George and if a trilogy comes from it, I'm down....  

check out what's next for George and most of all GO OUT THERE AND VOTE. 

TINA, I SEE YOU, LETS TALK TOO.

its a huge honor to talk to someone who was in the rock n roll hall of fame.

talking to founding member of heart Steve fossen was a trip.

we talk the origins of the band and what its like to be a world famous rock star while still being grounded.

going into HEART BY HEART, his new band with original member, Michael Derosier as they tour and having each performance feel like you're in 1975 listening to dreamboat Annie for the first time all over again.

coming to the Salem Art fair and festival July 15th.  if your in the area, come down and check out some great art and watch heart by heart do what they do best!

check out there website www.heartbyheart.com and there IG @heartbyheartofficial   @Steve_fossen @heartofficial 

call me crazy but I do find horoscopes really do play a role in how you move as a person. I mean you don't have to be walking piece of shit like those Gemini people but some people will be quick to call it and say its not cool to base your whole personality on your month of birth.

IDK to me that makes more sense than taking your personality from a shitty IG influencer or a lame electro pop artist.

we get it you're edgy and cool and street wear was your thing before it was mainstream.

Tonight we talk to someone who not only goes on that astronomical signs base personality types, we also get deep on earth, water, air and fires signs contributing in finding a partner and eventually being emotionally connected to another human being. isn't that even what the goal is while were floating on this rock, find companionship? 

with Ana breaking it down to a way anyone with limited knowledge on horoscopes go. You can follow her teachings to not only lean towards personal growth and enlightenment but go into love with more confidence than all the pornos you watched as a kid.

PLOT TWIST: (THEY  DON'T LOVE EACH OTHER). 

at least for me being not the best at love, relationships and general companionship, you should take Ana's teaching and resources to heart.

she spent years devoting her life to helping other with a variety of mental health issues.

Brandon Leibowitz, SEO Optimizers. He runs a digital marketing company that focuses on helping small and medium-sized businesses get more online traffic, which in turn converts into clients, sales, leads, etc.

based on that alone, I knew it was going to be a trop to talk to him about the game.

going into this my sole focus was getting traffic to my show, getting people to listen to ME, ME ME MEEEE....

how best that to self promote yourself. Brandon made some mind blowing revelations to me regarding foot traffic.

I was telling people to listen to me via my radio show. my IG, my Facebook page. but I never realized I was give Facebook and everyone else the traffic needed.

this talk so mad informative on my next moves and how to get there, defiantly put the last 4 years into perspective.

this month has been wild for me on a personal front and been sitting on this since late may, but were back and getting the hold of fatherhood while running one of Salem Oregons most entertaining podcasts.... (Fuck you, I said it!) so here goes Brandon Leibowits....

knowing your partner is a hard thing. coming from someone who needed to learn to communicate with partners over the years, (still need some work) but tonight we speak with Diana Indries, alongside with her partner have created a fun and modern way of getting to know your person.

with all of us recovering from being locked in the house some people have made amazing connections, or like me lost a few connections. 

If anything I wish I would have learned about this sooner, but even if it doesn't save a relationship... its never too late to get deep with your partner and in a fun game. full of rewards and different strategy elements, this game makes you feel a little bit closer to your loved one than you thought.
