It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time

I interviewed my boy Darrell tonight. We talked about life, love, and loss. We shared the memories of a good friend. I also learned of the death of a childhood friend during the interview. It was a slightly emotional ride for this episode. But I can't thank Darrell enough.

Also. Stephanie Cameron, Kristen Chandler, and Britt Bunch... You are loved and missed.

Alright, alright, alright.

This week's guest is my very good friend and Americana singer/songwriter extraordinaire, Becky Warren and I sat down in January in Nashville for a great interview. She talks about her two albums, her time in The Great Unknowns, her time as an Army wife, and life on the road. She also sings two songs off her "War Surplus" album, "It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time" and "Call Me Sometime." Mr. Ben De la Cour joined us about halfway through the interview and added some insight and comedic relief.

This singer/songwriter is a true bad ass, hailing from the state of Louisiana, though he now resides in Nashville. He is also an Army vet, and the only LA National Guard troop to be shot during Hurricane Katrina. You MIGHT want to check out this kick ass interview.

Disclaimer: I was NOT sober at all. You can hear it as I'm slurring my words and telling Chris how great he is over and over. I'm surprised I didn't do the scene from "Wayne's World" where they tell Alice Cooper they're not worthy. Good grief.

Big things are coming up on this show. I'm really excited where this is going in 2019. Strap in and get ready, babies!

Love you guys.

You guys. I can't even tell you damn exciting this week's episode is. My man man in Cancun is THE man when it comes to positivity, creativity, and motivation. I can't say enough good things about Jay Kali, aka the Strength Architect. This is one of the greatest conversations I've had in a long with anyone. He pushes everyone he comes into contact with to be better and do better, for a multitude of reasons. One of the best things he says in this interview is that taking care of ourselves through nutrition, hydration, sleep, learning, and fitness is just like on an airplane when you're instructed to put your oxygen mask on before you help others. Damn! I mean, you can't help anyone else if you're fighting to breathe.

I left this conversation motivated as hell to get back on track, even after not succeeding on my list in January. It truly was a fantastic reminder that I didn't fail one month, but rather I was set up for success for the next eleven months.

Oh and did I mention he's an Amazon bestselling author?

I fucking love this dude and I know you will too.

Also, don't forget to get out there and check out my boy Uli's podcast, The Real State Podcast, found here, on Spotify, iTunes, etc. It's a lot more structured than mine, and Uli tends to stay pretty sober for the interviews. Me? Not so much.

There is no introduction on this one, because nothing I could ever say would properly introduce my aunt. She's a bad ass in every sense of the word and I can't tell you how proud I am to be her kin. I am confident this will likely be your favorite episode, and some of you ladies will want to be her best friend.

This will also probably be the first of several interviews with her because we only scratched the surface of her awesomeness.She is the best and I know you'll agree with her candidness and brutal honesty. Next time I'll talk less and listen more, I promise!

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT-

Ben's song "Evelyn" is now the podcast's theme song. He graciously is allowing me to use his song during episodes, which is really awesome.

This is Ben's interviews, with some cameos with Becky Warren and Chris Watts. He also played two songs off his new album, The High Cost of Living Strange. It was a great time and I hope to sit down with Ben again in the future.

Oh, and he also kicked my ass in Trivial Pursuit. Great.

My main man from childhood, fellow Eve 6 fanatic, and natural redhead, Brian Davis and I sat down in December for a great discussion. Uli made a cameo with a great story about seeing Bad Religion in Mexico in the 90s.

I have some SUPER exciting news next week!!!!!!!! I can't wait for next week's episode.

Don't forget to check out my boy's Uli's podcast, The Real State Podcast, everywhere they may be found. His show is a lot like mine, except good.

Since this episode was recorded, Tiffany has since sliced off the tip of one of her fingers. She's got a lot of luck, I guess. Ha!

Also, I forgot to play Desert Island with her. Damn whiskey.

One of my very good childhood friends, Greg Dixon, and I sat down over beers and copious amounts of bourbon to discuss the '90s, punk rock bands, and being friends for the majority of our lives.
