So, my friend Joshua Treadaway stops by and we talk about history, friendship, our love of the NBA, NFL, and the things that shaped our lives.  

I've had the chance to listen and watch a bunch of things lately.  I haven't talked about it because the last 2 podcasts have had guests.  I hope you are enjoying this.  It's meant to grow community and bring us together for better interactions with one another.  Listen to some of the podcasts I recommend.  Check out Sex Education Seasons 1 and 2 on Netflix.  Narcos is amazing!  Let's get weird and talk about all the weirdness we are in to.  

Thank you for your support, and as always, "que the cow!"

I want you all to listen closely to what we are saying in this podcast.  It's not about where you came from, what you're going through, it's about your journey and what you're going to do with it.  What direction do you want to take your life in?  What do you need to change?  What do you want to change?  Do you need to make better friends?  Do you need to learn to make a podcast?  Do you want to share with others what you know?  Take the next step towards that, and then the next step.... no one is going to do it for you.  

I had a great conversation with my Dad on this podcast.  I hope you enjoy.  Check him out on YouTube, rpeek.  Thanks for listening.

The cash app was easy to install and set up, took me 5 minutes.  Marcus Blakely lost his home in a fire yesterday.  They have a son 10, and 2 daughters 8,6.  Any amount will add up and help.  Please help through the cash app.  His code is $mblake8727  Spread the word and let's help this family.  Thank you.

Letterkenny is hilarious!!  Thank you Charles Allsbrooks and Joshua Treadaway.  You guys rock!  

Happy Birthday Lori Shaw!!  

Promote the positive, that's what I say.  I've done that for the majority of my life.  It's not always easy.  We can all get set-backs and we can all get kicked down once in a while, but we can choose to face adversity in different ways.  I choose to face challenges as things that I haven't figured out yet.  Prime example is these T-shirts, or the design, or even this podcast, the music that plays in the intro.... you name it.  Challenge after challenge.  What makes it all worth while for me is the conquering of those things I didn't know how to do before that I learn to do proficiently.  That's the good stuff right there family.  Get together with the people around you.  Lean on your community.  We can all be part of the change together.  

Pray for Australia... pray for the wildfires to end.  Pray for all the people involved in this Iran situation.  There is no right side to this....   

Tulsi Gabbard 2020!!  That's all I'm saying.  Join in for a better option.

I tackle multiple subjects here on the Stuff I Heard podcast and this episode you can see that I'm trying to create a dialogue where we can all understand, help, and support one another.  Bert Kreischer talks to Nick Thune on The Bertcast about alcohol addiction and getting lyme disease.  Joe Rogan has a great conversation with Forrest Galante, check out his Instagram forrest.galante  Micah on YouTube bigdaddy 1992 is working with several community YouTubers to help his community grow.  Danny at Stuff I Kinda Care About is doing the same.  Kevin Hart reveals many of his own faults and shows us that even when you make mistakes you can grow from it and help improve the lives of others by your actions and your words.  Messiah on Netflix raises the questions of what would happen if Jesus returned?  Australia needs prayers and a miracle only God could give as their entire continent seems to be on fire.  500 million animals have died since September from wildfires including 8000 kaolas.  Iranian general Qasaem Soleimani was killed in an airstrike apparently because he was planning a terrorist act on Iraq, our ally who we give "Billions a year" as Trump says.  Dan Crenshaw says we need to be there to kill the enemy before it comes here.  Tulsi Gabbard says we need to pull our troops out of there and Syria to restore peace.  I'm not sure who is right here but the conversation should happen where we all admit we don't know the right coarse of action.  Both of these representatives are combat veterans and speak from first hand experience.  Nikki Haley as our UN diplomat put Soleimani on notice 2 years ago at a UN hearing.  She knew then that he was planning terrorist acts and needed to be stopped.  When our embassy in Bengazi was attacked and those people were raped, murdered, drug through the streets we did nothing to stop it, even though Hillary Clinton had intel that it was going to happen, then her classified e-mails on public servers mysteriously disappear and we just let her off the hook.  This time we act as the US embassy in Iran was getting attacked and it's seen as an act of War by Democrats??  Really?  

Semper Fidellis and God Bless.  We all need prayer and unity more than ever.

Build your community.  Support the positive.  Have conversations with the people around you.  Do research.  Don't get your news from one source.  

And if you have time after that, please rate, review, subscribe, and share this podcast.  I love you and I pray for you.

Lots of good stuff moving into the new year.  The biggest is me... being 255lbs.  I gained so much weight lately just eating everything I could fit in my face and drinking beer with no regard to how it would affect me.  I feel it today.  Now I feel like garbage.  It's easier to get in front of it than play catch up but here I am.  It's time to take responsibility.  Stick around to see what happens next.  Thanks for being part of this year.  I hope we're all here next year to celebrate again.  Love ya.  Happy New Year 2020!!

It's time to think outside the box.  Russia has the ability to make the world much smaller now.  This is not a good thing.  Whatever your political affiliation there is a need to think on a much grander scale.  We've lived a very easy, charmed life up to this point here in America with the benefit of 2 oceans flanking us.  We are so eager to divide each other we are missing the bigger threat.  

Take action over your life.  Time is so limited.  It's up to each of us to live our lives for whatever time we are here.  Thanks for listening, and God bless.
