Originally recorded in 2022, this conversation is part of the RTTM Archives — a collection of meaningful talks that helped shape this show. In this episode, I sit down with my longtime friend and mentor Chuck Hicks to reflect on the legendary Chance Theater in Poughkeepsie, NY — a venue that shaped the local music scene and both of our lives.

Chuck shares how he first got involved at The Chance, some of the wild stories from behind the scenes, and what the venue meant to the Hudson Valley and the people in it. It’s a love letter to a place that gave so many artists — including me — a stage and a shot.

🎙️ This is more than a trip down memory lane — it’s a tribute to one of the last great local venues of its kind.

The Goose has landed… again. Welcome (back) to the RTTM Podcast! This is technically Episode 1, but let’s be real, I’ve done this before. 4 Times actually.. But this time, we’re hitting reset and making this podcast bigger, better, and sillier than ever. Expect unfiltered takes, ridiculous stories, and a whole lot of nonsense. If you’re an OG Silly Goose, you already know the vibes. If you’re new here—buckle up. It’s gonna get weird.

He navigates the blurred lines between authenticity and artifice, offering insights that are as thought-provoking as they are entertaining.

But wait, there's more! As Ryan shares his thoughts on virtual influencers, he also grapples with the eternal struggle of defining his podcast's identity.

Chris and I have had many crazy nights on the streets of Poughkeepsie, NY. We shared the stage, recorded music, and got a little too tipsy one too many times together. I chat with him about our love for story telling in rap/hip-hop, how intense your first metal experience is, and how Alien Ant Farm is one of the most underrated bands.

After seeing one of her last shows before a hiatus, I talked to Lainey Gonzales about why the 90s is so nostalgic, the beauty of collaborating in music, and how i might secretly be a Taylor Swift fan.
