The Confound Millennial Season 3 Ep. 21: Special Guest Rene Mata of Reach NYC Today on the podcast Rene Mata has come by not just to talk about his music, but much more importantly to talk about why he came back to making music after 17 years of working behind the scenes in the music industry. Rene's best friend, Chester Bennington, had been nagging him about getting his band back together to open up for Linkin Park one more time, and sadly that never got to happen before his tragic suicide back in 2017. Rene shares some of the good times he had with Chester, from his last dinner with him, to Chester sleeping in a pretty princess bedroom. Rene also opens up about his recovery journey and how that has impacted his life the music he writes today. And most importantly Stirvin and Rene come together to remind anyone listening out there or even just reading this episode description that it doesn't have to be the end today, whether you know it or not, somebody out there loves you and would beg you not to end things abruptly. Reach out to a friend. And if you truly feel that you have no one to talk to give the Suicide Hotline number a try 800-273-8255. We love you, you got this- WE GOT THIS.

Today we say farewell to an old friend. Two and a half years ago Stirvin had an idea to make a podcast and the only person he knew that had the skills to help him pull it off was his podcast hating buddy Chandler. Little did Stirvin know that Chan would not only agree to help but actually push him to better the podcast each episode and to push through even when he felt like giving up. We didn't really know this day would come cause we never actually expected the podcast to last more than a month, but here we are having to say goodbye to one of the two original hosts. The show will carry on but we will definitely miss Chan, and we may never know what our guests favorite colors are again. Press "F" in the comments to pay your respect.

The Confound Millennial Season 3 Episode 17: In tradition of the rest of this catching up mini series whatever we're apparently doing right now, Stirvin calls up another old friend, Tyler Waltemyer-Clarke, to talk why they'll never go back to Georgia (at least till they have to, who would win in a fight between Hermione and a saber tooth tiger, and why Stirvin secretly resented him when they first met.

The Confound Millennial Season 3 Ep. 16: WARNING: IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO HEAR ABOUT STIRVIN AND NICK'S SEX LIVES DO NOT WATCH THIS PODCAST. Last year the podcast was forever changed when we were introduced to Nick Johnson, the fearless leader and founder of the semi popular yet exclusive facebook group The Nerds. This year he's back, and ready to possibly get us banned from his own group. Stirvin thought we were here to talk nerd stuff, but instead tune in to hear about how many 3ways he's been in, the history of wieners on statues and batmen, and just how big a johnson Johnson's johnson is.
