The DTALKS Podcast

Happy New Year!

We want to thank you for sticking with us for our 3rd year of podcasting! There is a lot of great content already planned for 2019 so BUCKLE UP!

We want to kick things off with a Powerbomb of an episode here on the podcast!

In this episode of The DTALKS Podcast Joe talks to former WCW President, WWE personality and current co-host of the popular wrestling podcast: 83 Weeks; Eric Bischoff.

Joe and Eric touched on multiple topics throughout the course of Eric's career but honed in on exactly what types of trials and tribulations he went through being a parent while also running a high-profile business. Eric dug down deep to let us know how he was able to "have it all" and having an equal partner in the equation is the main reason he was able to get it done.

It's a fascinating dive into the world of professional wrestling where we, as viewers, only experience a tiny piece of it. Most people don't stop and wonder how these individuals are able to parent, travel, perform, etc. all the time. While Eric's experience is unique in that he was running the company he still highlights how it's nearly impossible to parent alone in this situation.

Sit back, relax and get ready for the first episode of what will be a stellar year for The DTALKS Podcast.

In this episode of The DTALKS Podcast Joe talks to Pat Doney of NBC 5 here in DFW.

Joe and Pat touched on several topics of interest including Pat's Broadcasting journey as well as his time working with the Cowboys and who his favorite player he's covered has been.

However, all of that pails in comparison to the personal journey Pat walked us through of his and his wife's decision to adopt their son and the personal struggles and triumphs they've endured and are planning for moving forward.

It's a very touching and heartfelt story this holiday season. Please, pour yourself some cider or hot chocolate and give a listen.

We also want to take a moment to say we know the holidays can be a tough time and if you're feeling sad, depressed or lonely please know you are not alone. There are tons of people out there who love and care about you. Please, check on your strong friends, check on your quiet friends and check on everyone else. Hold your family a little tighter and have a Merry Christmas.
