Ever been caught off guard by a prank that walked the fine line between hilarity and humiliation? I sat down with my good friend Travis Parker to relive our favorite prank stories, including the infamous fake poop stunt at a supermarket. We also tackled the age-old question: is pranking your partner a sign of love or a recipe for chaos? From glass door mishaps to surprise water bottle sneezes, our chat is packed with laughter, playful banter, and a touch of introspection about keeping humor in check amidst the wild world of internet culture.

But it's not all fun and games. We shifted gears into a heartfelt discussion about breaking free from the grip of habitual drinking. Both Travis and I shared our personal journeys of recognizing nightly wine routines and the eye-opening self-assessments that followed. We talked about the power of support systems and explored the world of mocktails and non-alcoholic beverages as healthier alternatives. With honesty and a touch of humor, we navigated the complex terrain of habit change, touching on everything from road rage to the comforting ritual of drinking tea.

As our conversation wound down, we couldn't help but celebrate the friendship that keeps our spirits high and our creativity flowing. We brainstormed quirky sign-offs, inspired by newscasters, to leave our audience chuckling and eager for more. Through laughter and camaraderie, we expressed our gratitude for each other and our shared mission to bring joy to our listeners. Join us on this lighthearted, insightful journey, as we promise more laughter, friendship, and growth in episodes to come.

What happens when the very habits you rely on to cope become the chains that hold you back? Join me on a raw and personal journey as I confront my alcohol dependency, a battle that doesn't fit the stereotypes but affects my life nonetheless. I open up about using alcohol as an escape from stressors like COVID-19 and life's unpredictable challenges, sharing how these nightly rituals have left me feeling sluggish and unmotivated. It's a candid reflection on the roles we play in life and how they shape our identities, for better or worse.

The path to personal growth is rarely straightforward, and mine is no exception. I discuss the influence of my two father figures and how their passing has driven me to break free from old habits. This episode is about making a pivotal decision to pursue a healthier, more fulfilling life, inspired by the transformative power of a single choice, as championed by Tony Robbins. Listen as I commit to overcoming the internal struggle with alcohol, acknowledging the fears and rationalizations that come with it, and ultimately, the resolve to never give up on the journey to happiness and self-discovery.

Be Bold, be Brave, be You.

Thanks for you listening.
