Thanksgiving week is upon us, with the year we’ve had it’s only right we have some much needed family time. Stay safe but don’t hesitate to travel or have a good time if it means seeing the ones you love. The holidays are about family; don't let the hysteria convince you otherwise. I also touch on the birthplace of true confidence and how necessary blind confidence is. Make sure you follow me on Twitter @thesimian_ and Instagram @abarbosa000.

Good Monday morning to you all. This episode is on a topic that I could talk about for hours on end: finance. Financial literacy is not only something I advocate but something I beg of others to learn more about. The stock market is not as inaccessible as we are led to believe, investing in vehicles that make you money passively is the true key to wealth. I really hope this episode is received well by those who took the time to listen. Make sure you follow me on Instagram @abarbosa000 and on Twitter @thesimian_ .

Here it is people, the first episode in the new format. From now on The Smoking Simian will air twice a week, hopefully you don’t miss me too much. I think this move will catapult the show even further, allowing you all to catch up on older episodes and allowing me to focus on creating better content. I also talk about my future plans regarding other areas in my life. I love to share my thoughts with you all and I hope you find value in my journey.

This year’s election has been riddled with controversy, it’s only right considering the year we’ve had. I am incredibly uneducated on the subject of politics and incapable of picking a side which has led me to have never voted. I’m sure there are plenty of you out there who feel the exact same way I do, this episode is for you. My guest John Larkin answers some of my questions and acknowledges my troubles when it comes to politics and voting. John is significantly knowledgeable on the subject and is a great voice on the matter. We also have special guest Rafael Adames join us AND a huge announcement at the end of the episode. Please follow us wherever you listen, tell everyone about us and follow me on Instagram @abarbosa000. Also, follow John and Raf @the.strenuous.life and @adamesmma on Instagram as well.

Happy Late Halloween!! I know you just listened to yesterday’s episode of me talking about looking ahead and what not but Halloween is too fun of a day to not do anything. For The Smoking Simian’s Halloween Spectacular, I brought in two good friends: Rob Altomari and Kevin Yepes. We had a few drinks, spoke about a plethora of topics and all during one of the quietest Halloweens I can remember. I understand that the quality is not great, this was our first episode with three mics and they will only get better from here! I hope you had a fun and safe Halloween, make sure you tell everyone you know about us, follow me on Instagram @abarbosa000 and follow the show wherever you listen!!

I’m here to tell you that we got two months left until we get a clean slate. The new year is coming soon, plan for it but finish out this year focused. Get those notebooks out people, turn to a page, title it “GOALS 2021” and start early.

Today’s episode is another long one but definitely a phenomenal one. In the studio today I got my man DJ Flip Mercedes who has worked with artists not only from Rhode Island but all over the world including Joey Bada$$, Jim Jones and Flatbush Zombies. Flip details the origin of his love for music, how his industry has changed since he started 20 years ago and his other endeavours including Rhode Island Music Therapy. Also, he details his recording session with the late Juice Wrld just months before his tragic death. How did I meet this gentleman? Well you’ll have to listen to find out.
