We all struggle to connect as we find our way through life.  Sometimes we get lucky and connect to other human beings and that friendship lasts a lifetime.  Sometimes we have a brief time where we come together and we move apart.   We all have to find our way, but there is a truth in that we are better together.  Our learning, our experiences, our path becomes a journey we take together.  We enrich each other's lives and we help color the tapestry of our fabric... our make up.  It's hard to form those bonds today with social media and games on our phones taking all of our attention.  We don't get involved or invested in each other unless we make an effort.  As a boy we would find a way to entertain each other when we were bored.  That boredom has now been replaced with gadgets and the internet.  I'm just as guilty as the next person... maybe more.  I spend extra moments developing this podcast or the YouTube channel.  I try to line up projects and things that to be honest are "busy work" to most.  I could invest that time in the people around me but it takes a concentrated effort that I honestly don't nurture like I feel I should.  What about you?  Are you in the same position?  Let's all make an effort to change ourselves for a "real life" not social media life version of friendship.  Hi my name's Josh, what's yours?  Where are you from?  Let's start a conversation...

I got deep in the last couple of days listening to multiple episodes of Joe Rogan's podcast.   Go check out Bert's 2016 comedy special The Machine on Netflix right now!!  Well, maybe after you listen to my podcast...  Bert I'd love to have you as a guest on my podcast, but if you're busy LeeAnn could do the heavy lifting for you sir.  :)  Love ya both.  

Sad day...  Brody Stevens was so loved... Check out Twitter's outpour of love for Brody.  Rest in peace sir.  If you are suffering and are thinking of hurting yourself, please reach out to someone.  There are people who will listen, talk, help...  It's not too late until it is.  We are all here for each other.  Let someone help you.  It's not a weakness if you realize we all struggle at times.  

I'm proud of Joe Rogan for having a good debate between two guys who are very passionate about their positions and Joe does a great job mediating between them as impartial as he could be while also asking great questions.  Information and sharing is key to us growing as people.  Netflix loosing Marvel is a big deal, and with it we are loosing Daredevil and The Punisher.  They will be greatly missed.  Also, check out my Dad's YouTube videos about the Rambler on his channel "rpeek".

I'm making the video to put on YouTube today, check out the Man Crate unboxing as I do it.  Very cool present from my wife.  Thank you Deloris!  I'm cooking a pork butt using the stuff I got in the Man Crate today.   I'm also making a video of that as well.

I'm sort of all over the place on this one.  I sometimes have something I'm going to talk about when I start.  This was not that type of episode.  I literally hit record and just talked for 34 minutes.  I hope you enjoy.  I'm constantly changing, challenging myself, and transforming what I do and how I do it.  Stick around, I'll probably do something else wacky along the way, and maybe you'll be a part of it.  Please remember to rate, review, subscribe, and share with your friends.  Let's all be part of this community and share our ideas and conversation with one another.

There's a ton of info in this episode.  Sit back, enjoy the soothing tones of Josh and Greg.  Look for Greg's 90's cover band on Facebook Ninety5 Albany Georgia.  He will soon be on Instagram and possibly have his own podcast that I will help promote. Bert was awesome in concert!  Go see him!!

I'm excited to see Bert Kreischer's Body Shots world tour, in Charlotte Feb 8th.  I'll be front center row with my buddy Greg Steele.  Come out and see us there.  Look for tickets for Bert's show at bertbertbert.com/tour 

Thanks again.  Please rate, review, subscribe, and share.

We cover a bunch of different topics in this episode so have some Black Rifle Coffee, put your earphones on, and blast off with us!  We cover Byron's military journey, watching and listening to Killer Mike and how he is challenging us to think of individuals instead of groups, and how we could possibly one day look at our planet as "the place we came from".
