It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time

This episode is nerd heaven. If you're not into Star Wars, 80s cartoons, or comics, turn around now! This is one of the most fun interviews I've done to date, partially because I got to talk to Kevin about stuff we both love a lot, and because it was recorded in his man cave.

Thanks again for supporting the podcast. See you guys next week.

This week we talk with my friend Amy (last name withheld) about prison education and vocation programs, rescuing dogs, and making quilts. Amy has the most obscure desert island answers to date, which make for an even better interview.

I also talk about a few things before the interview starts. Actually, I talk about several things. If you'd rather not listen to me yammer on, the interview begins at 17:19. If you do want to listen, I get into my upcoming plans for the holidays, a few of the podcasts I listen to right now, the holidays, unpacking, and how much the latest video game purchase I made was a bust.

The organization Amy volunteers with is Missouri German Rescue, whose website may be found here. If you're looking to donate time or money, or want to adopt or foster a dog, PLEASE check them out. All dogs deserve homes and loving family.

I sat down with Chris at Mother's Brewing Company in Springfield, MO. We talked about everything from tattoos, beers, family, loss, military, and traveling the world. I love his insight into life, love, and the reality of it all.

My very best friend of my life. i also talk about some kinda personal stuff. Let me know what you think and hit me up on the tipline. The number is (205) 402-8109.

I'm so excited for you folks to see what I have coming up. I honestly don't deserve friends that are so great.

This is the first episode of the podcast, even though it's being published after episodes 2 and 3. I was fortunate enough to interview Ryan, a tattoo artist from Springfield, MO, about fatherhood, nerd shit, and politics in 2018. Much to my dismay, I had to cut out almost all of the tattoo part due to recording software failure. There was an unbearable echo for the entire tattoo conversation, so I regrettably had to cut it. However, I will sit down with Ryan again and talk tattoos with him in a future episode.

This episode took forever to edit due to so many technical issues, coupled with the fact I have no clue what I'm doing, but I'm happy it's finally being ready for your beautiful ears. Please excuse the editing, as this is the very first time I've done anything like this in my life.

Thank you so much for the support and encouragement I've received in the last few weeks. In the next several weeks, I've got some awesome guests:

A trio of ladies, including my ex-wife, drinking wine and talking about immigration law, being a minority in the Midwest, and being women in "Trump's America."

A survivor of physical and emotional abuse, employee for child services in Missouri, all around bad ass.

A firefighter, bartender, and podcaster. This man is my podcasting sherpa.

Two key people in the fight against homelessness in Missouri.

A regional director of education for a correctional system.

An activist in the fight for canine equality, advertising wizard, and long time friend.

My best buddy for over 20 years, who is an exterminator, former rat tail wearer, and natural anxiety tonic enthusiast.

Episode 3 was a very open and honest interview with a very good friend of mine, Evan Rogers. He spoke from the heart and soul about his stint in rehab, what led him there, and where he is now with his sobriety. We spoke a lot about the midterm elections, but technical issues forced me to cut that part out. Whomp. Whomp. Whomp. I also had to edit out a story he told about me that was so vile I was too embarrassed to put it out into the world.

This interview really gets to the heart of LGBT equality, differences in staunch republicans and democrats, and the ability to recognize when you need help.

I cannot thank Evan enough for his willingness to share his story and thoughts with all of you beautiful humans. I have a lot of really great guests coming up over the next several weeks, so check back often or subscribe.

Thank you for your support. Take care. Be good or be good at it.

This episode features a great conversation with Tiffany Barnett, a close friend of mine for over twenty years. She owns Salon Lukka in Nixa, MO, is a philanthropist, a single mom, and can cut a mean high fade for men. We talked about finding success in random places, dating in your 30s, and using puppy dog Snapchat filters.

As I learn and evolve at this podcasting stuff, the production and editing will improve. I cannot thank Tiffany enough for being my second guest/victim in this podcast endeavor.
