Music Monday Ep. 123: This week we react to a request from my dear friend, Dakota Phillips. He told me I should go listen to Nutshell by Alice In Chains. This instrumental on this song is deeply moving and emotional. The lyrics are short and concise, but they certainly pack a punch. This was an enjoyable song to listen to!

Music Monday Ep. 122: We are back with another music reaction from the band, Sleep Token. They just dropped their second single, "Caramel" from their upcoming album, "Even In Arcadia" that drops on May 9th of this year. This song is a lot softer than the lead single, "Emergence". Nonetheless, we had a great time listening to the surprising sound of this new song.

In this video we talk about the many benefits of rucking. I just started getting back into doing rucks on a consistent basis over the last few weeks and I can already tell the difference in my body. This is a subject I am very passionate to be speaking about. I talk about my journey and experience. It might look a little different for you but I can at least tell you what I have noticed so far.

Music Monday Ep. 121: This week we visit one of my favorite bands of all time. It is none other than A Day to Remember. They just dropped their 8th LP, "Big Ole Album Vol. 1". To round out this music reaction I decided to listen to the last track on the album. "Close Than You Think" is an emotional track and masterful way to end this project. Really feels like these guys bounced back from their last album, "You're Welcome". Enjoy.

Music Monday Ep. 120: This week we revisit the wonderful world of Sleep Token. The have an album coming out in May called, "Even In Arcadia". Their lead single for the album that we listened to is, "Emergence". I can't say one negative thing about this group. They continuously put out great music. Their genre bending sound keeps you on your feet the entire time.

Music Monday Ep. 119: This week we are back with another music reaction! This time we are listening to Doechii for the first time. On March 5th she put out a single titled, "Anxiety". That is what I chose to listen to for this particular music review. You know I love talking about mental health, so as soon as I saw the title I knew it was a rap.

A little bit of a different twist on this video. Back in 2021 on the channel I put out a video talking about my vinyl collection. Well now in 2025 I have certainly doubled the amount of records I possess. I wanted to make an update on my vinyl collection to show you guys what my collection looks like now. Here it is.

Music Monday Ep. 118: This week we listen to one of Pittsburgh's very own, Wiz Khalifa! The joint he dropped is called, "Roll It Up Freestyle". I also watched the official music video. This man has been doing this rap and hip hop thing at a very high level for a long time. It was great to hear Wiz go into his bag and find his flows. Kind of sounds like the old Wiz.

Music Monday Ep. 117: This week I returned to Ren's catalogue of music and found a gem inside of the track Money Ties. Ren details why it is important to not idolize money too much. We need it in our lives in order to survive and thrive, but at what costs? How far do we want to take it? I also watched the official music video and there were some great visuals packed into that experience. Had a fun time as always.
